Splish Splash I almost took a bath....with this little ornery thing (; Isn't she the cutest though? We got our playdate in just before it stormed. And check out her little brother trying that "drink out of the hose" trick for the first time.
Hee hee. With a last name like Farmer, we just HAD to do a wheat field session, right? These beautiful people (who happen to be my oldest and dearest friends) drove 4 hours through driving rain for their session. I hope it was worth it (:
You all remember my little sweet "Barnyard Baby"? He turned one recently so we were out at the farm again for a session. We had this great plan to use the ottoman again for his one year session (we planned it the day of his newborn session). But....my precious little ottoman was kidnapped off of the street outside the loft during a session back in May. So, we hads to make do with an antique chair from his house. It really doesn't matter though does it? It's the adorable kid that everyone's looking at not the furniture...right??
These little sweeties' Mom told me, "Every time I hear you say 'How cute!' all I hear is my bank acount depleting... cha-ching, cha-ching. Sorry Julie...these are real "depleters!" Enjoy (:
PS. Is there anything cuter than a "baby-in-o-basket"?
Oh, PSS...these dresses are also from Petunia (;

I recently shot the Fall line of clothing from designer Ellen Profitt of Petunia in Clayton and Baby Petunia in St. Charles. The designs are so cute. I am especially in love with the little brown dresses. Some of these items are available as pre-order. Email her at babypetunia2@sbcglobal.net for more info..Be sure to tell her you saw them here (;
Thanks to the 6 adorable girls who worked so hard for us. If the amount of pizza consumes per capita is any indication-we worked them hard! I have never seen so much pizza go into such tiny little people (:

HA! I had to re-use this title because it is so fitting. Ironically, this family is friends with the original "Princess and Pea-nut" http://eyesmiles.typepad.com/my_weblog/2006/12/the_princess_an.html
This little girlie was certainly princess material. (: I just love her and her vocabulary! Her new baby sister is such a little peanut. She was so squishy and bendy for me. N and J, you get a few extra sneak peeks to make up for your crummy day. Enjoy!
AKA "The Fieldtrip". My super secret spot from last year is actually not so super secret anymore. It has become more and more popular for photographers so I went and found a new spot. Thanks to my new little buddy Henry for helping me test it out! I know it's hard for families with small kids to do sunset sessions but it is SO worth it. There is just nothing like the light that comes just before sunset.
Hee hee. Meet the lucky 5th baby for this gorgeous family. She will be well loved by her brother, sisters and a huge extended family! This is the same family as in the post below.
Check out this gorgeous display in one of my client's entryways. The best part....this is only about 1/4 of my canvases that they have displayed throughout their loft. Here is (hopefully) the next canvas for their wall. (The baby in the canvases you see).
..if I hung this HUGE at MY house? Ha ha ha. Seriously. This makes me smile just looking at it.
This family is so sweet and Mom is an eloquent writer too. When asked on the pre-session survey what she hopes her children see in these images she wrote:
"We make a point to emphasize to our kids that they are each others' best friends and at the end of the day, family is all you have. We enjoy one another. And I know as they get older, they will want their space, but I don't ever want them to forget this time in their lives."
Well, C, I hope I captured that for you. (: Can't you just feel the joy and closeness in this family?
I started photographing this family when Tristan was only 3 months old. He has grown so much since then! He's now almost 2 and has a beautiful new baby sister Trevi. Their mommy is a photographer too www.christineguest.com It's always flattering when other photographers trust me with their memories. (:

Here is a quick favorite from baby Will's session. I will have more later...I am running out the door to meet friends from out of town. I'll be back on Mon.
I have been lucky in 08 and have gotten quite a few smiling newborns. But, my most "famous"' smilie baby was Miss Reece from 7/06. I still get comments about this shot almost 2 years later.
Well, here she is at almost 2....
And......here is her new baby sister Rylee. Isn't she precious! She looks so much like her big sis did.
This is Kim. See Kim work. Work Kim work.
HA! I love her! She has been fielding phone calls and emails since we opened the calendar. However, she will be out of town this weekend and would like to confirm some dates with some of you. If you have given her dates and not secured your date with payment, please call one of use before Fri so you don't lose your date. Dates are booked on a first come first serve basis and weekends are going particularly fast as are all Oct and late Sept dates.
We have opened the Fall/Holiday calendar for bookings as of today. Please contact Kim at eyesmiles_booking@yahoo.com for scheduling information. You will need to decide which session type you would like prior to booking your session since certain session types are done on certain dates. You can see samples of the Session type "Loft", "Playdate" and "Fieldtrip" under the portfolio section of the main website www.eyesmilesphotography.com Last year, the Fall dates (Sept and Oct) filled very quickly so book early to ensure your spot. October 17th is the last session date of 2008. Also, the Summer calendar is now open as well.
...a warm puppy. Well, according to Charles Schulz it is. To me, happiness is having someone go along with my every crazy idea, beautiful and cooperative (for the most part-wink wink) kids, a beautiful sunset, temperature near 70 and amazing clothing lines to shoot. Here are some from a commercial/branding shoot I did for Petunia. They sell lots of brands but they also have a really cool brand that is their own designs. The dress with the little birds on it is one of theirs.
...for little girls. Is there anything sweeter than a family of all girls?
Oh wait, there IS something sweeter...a Daddy and his baby girl. (:
And I have proof. This is one of my favorite families. I have photographed them many times and each time is a treat. This is Lisa's beautiful family. She packages up all of my client orders all pretty and hand delivers them.
