I had my first mini maternity session with the M. couple yesterday.  They are such a sweet and friendly couple who are expecting their first baby, whom I will be photographing as soon as he or she makes their arrival.  They are much more patient than I was and are waiting until the baby is born to find out the sex.  I can tell you that no matter which, he or she is going to be adorable!

Speaking of adorable, you couldn’t ask for a cuter preggo momma or more beautiful surroundings!  Along with the pleasant weather that was provided for us, it really made for a nice session.

It was great to meet you guys and I am looking forward to the arrival of baby M. and capturing more memories of this new adventure.

Mini Maternity sessions are complimentary with a booked Newborn session.  If you are 32-36 weeks pregnant, consider Angela Carol Photography, LLC for your Newborn session and receive your complimentary 30 min. Mini Maternity session.

This little guy was over 2 weeks old, but a total peanut and oh so sweet.  He slept so well for me and hardly fussed at all except when he had a dirty diaper or was hungry, a photographer’s dream.  I was so excited to get to use a few of my new props, including this adorable hat and my new blanket that I love!  Doesn’t he just look so comfy.

Today’s session was a lot of work, but a lot of fun and seeing this picture totally makes it worth it.  I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, I’ve got many more sweet images to follow.  I’ll be in touch soon with your gallery.

Today was Miss H.’s 1st birthday!!!  This little beauty has been a client of mine since before she was born.  Our last session was at 6 months and Oh My how she has grown since then!  She has gone from being an immobile sitter to being able to crab crawl with lightening speed and she even showed me how she could take a few steps like a big girl.  She is truly precious!

O. Family Thank You so much for sharing your baby girl with me and allowing me to watch her grow.  Also, Thank You for believing in me and taking a chance when I was just starting out.  You guys have been some of the greatest clients I could ask for and I hope to continue capturing those special moments in your lives.  Enjoy your sneak peek!

I met up with Sarah and Lindsay, the girls from Lulabells Baby Boutique for a mini product shoot using Sarah’s little girl D. as the model.  She was such a doll baby and was the happiest 10 month old I’ve come across in quite a while!!  It may only be August, but its not too soon to start thinking about preparing for Halloween.  The girls at Lulabells have come up with some really cute options that are sure to make your little girl stand out at a Halloween Party or Trick-or-Treating.

This little guy came over for a quick mini session with his mommy Lindsay, one of the creators of Lulabells Baby Boutique.  In between outfit changes we snuck in some sweet pictures.  He was such a good baby and just as cute as can be.  I couldn’t resist sharing just one!

I had the pleasure of doing a session with these little guys at 5 weeks old back in January and again yesterday for their 8 month old session.  They have gotten so big since our last session and have the most amazing blue eyes!  We had pretty comfortable weather out and they were quite the little troopers.  You just couldn’t help but smile at them!

It was great to see you again C. Family!  I will have your gallery for you soon!

If this guy looks familiar its because he’s been on my blog before, he is one of my GCHS Senior Reps.  Between Basketball camps and Football practices we were finally able to squeeze in his full session.  It was hot, humid, a lot of work, but a whole lot of fun too!!

When I found this location I knew it would be perfect for what I wanted to do!  And I was fortunate enough to have everything fall into place and I am so, so happy with it!  Its just my spin on your traditional “sports” senior picture.

Thanks again Coop for being a great Senior Rep.  Looking forward to seeing all the great things you accomplish your Senior year!

Today is our baby girl’s 4th birthday!  We never knew a little person could have such personality, humor and spunk!  She always keeps us laughing and her smile is infectious.  As a SAHM she has become my bestest little friend and I don’t know what I would do during the day without her with me (can you tell I’m already dreading Kindergarten?)!  She is the last baby of our family which makes each birthday even more bitter sweet.  Knowing soon she will become too big for the cuddles, embarrassed by the kisses and would rather hang out with her friends, makes us really cherish the times we have with her.

Happy Birthday ReRe!  Mommy and Daddy love you so very, very much and are so blessed that you are in our lives!!!

I had a mini session today with the most adorable little girl who was more than willing to model some cute headbands from Lulabells Baby Boutique. These little petite flower headbands can dress up any outfit and add that something extra special.  Check out their etsy store and their Facebook fan page to see more images and their latest creations.

I’ve had the honor of taking this little guys pictures as a Newborn, 4 month old and now a growing 8 month old!  He seriously gets cuter and cuter at every session.  Last time I saw him he couldn’t even sit up, now he is crawling all over the place.  He braved the heat of the morning as well as some rough teething for this session.  I really think we got some cute shots!  I am really looking forward to his 1 year session!!  Enjoy the sneak peek!

From me and my family we would like to wish everyone a fun, safe and Happy 4th of July!!

I was contacted to do some product photography shots by Lulabells Baby Boutique, an up and coming online boutique located in Paducah, KY.  They specialize in making adorable personalized outfits and separates, as well as hair accessories.

This outfit is called the Birthday Bash Tutu set.  Isn’t it just the cutest!!  It comes with all 3 pieces that you see in the images and can also be personalized with the birthday girl’s name.(Shown here with no personalization)  What little girl wouldn’t love to have something like this to wear for their special day.

Check their etsy story for more details on sizing, color availaility, shipping, etc. http://www.etsy.com/shop/lulabellbaby

Keep an eye out for more adorable outfits and accessories.  I will be posting as they are available.

I had a fun session last night with my cousin and her family.  This is little C.  He is just the cutest little guy and looks just like his momma!  He was a little shy at first, but didn’t take too long to warm up and then he was really ready to go!

Thanks for bearing the hot, humid afternoon with me!  It was great seeing you guys and we will definitely have to get the kids together to play again.  Reese kept talking about C. all night!

I had the pleasure once again to photograph this little beauty!  Miss C and her mommy came to me and had pictures made around the same time last year.  She has grown so much and though I didn’t think it was possible, is even cuter!!  She has got a head full of gorgeous curls and the sweetest little smile.  We battled the early morning heat and humidity and had a great session!

She loved the parasol and playing hide and seek with it.

I think her favorite item was this little purple seat.  And look how lady like she is setting!  Looks like momma or gaga was doing something funny!!

And who can resist a little red tricycle!!

It was really great to see you all again!  I look forward to many more sessions with this little beauty!

Yesterday I had a quick session with the W. Family.  I say quick because the clouds, thunder and rain moved with a vengeance!  This session was to mark Mr. C’s First Birthday.  He wasn’t giving up too many smiles, but when he did his face lit up and so did everyone else’s!!

See what I mean?  You can tell he loves his mommy (whom he is looking at in this picture).

Such a big boy!!

We were winding down the session with a cake smash.  Can you tell he is so over it!

And I couldn’t blog without including a picture of Mom and Big Sister L.  They are both stunners!

W. Family it was truly a pleasure!  I will be in touch with you soon with your gallery!

This is Stacey B.  She is the winner of the Tag Your It contest for a free mini-session that myself and a few other photographers held.  I know her and her momma from marching band at one of our local high schools.  She and my son marched and are in band together.  She’s a super fun girl with a great attitude and the most gorgeous eyes!

Saying it was hot out yesterday was an understatement, but fortunately it started to cool down.  Unfortunately, she got attacked by mosquitoes.  I’m glad she was a good sport about it!  I had a lot of fun and I think we got some great shots!  Here’s to you and all of the Seniors of 2011!!  Have a great Senior year!

See, I told you her eyes are gorgeous!

I wanted to try something a bit different with this shot.  I bet you can guess what instrument(s) she plays.

This little guy is my first official baby planner client.  I did his newborn pictures February and went back today for our 3 month session.  I could not believe how much he has grown and how much cuter he has gotten (I didn’t think it was possible)!!  He is such a sweet and laid back little guy, and will you get a look at those eyes!  He is going to be a definite heartbreaker.

I can’t wait until our 6 month session, we’re going to have so much fun!!!

Such a strong boy!

And oh my was he serious!

I was so happy to do this session yesterday!  This is my cousin’s little boy Mr. E.  I haven’t seen my cousin since she was a young girl and now she is a grown woman with a little boy of her own.  Where has the time gone?

Mr. E. is 1 1/2 and full of spunk and energy!!!  I haven’t had a session that was such a workout it quite some time, but it was worth it!  He was just so inquisitive and playful and he and my 15 year old son became Best Buddies!

Chasity, it was so good to see you and meet your beautiful little boy!  We’ve really missed you!!

Here are a few sneak peeks for you.
