Baby Xander is nine months already!

2009-01-28T20:38:00.000-08:00

I can hardly believe this little guy is already nine months old! I love that I get to watch him getting bigger, growing into his little personality. He laughs and squeals, scoots quickly across the room in pursuit of a ball, munches on his books, snuggles his mommy, he's got several tiny little teeth already and, get this, he LOVES to hang upside down! It's the funniest thing to watch, he throws himself backwards so his mom will tip him over! So cute. He's a bundle of sunshine. I hope you love the photos Jennifer, thanks for having me over to play!

Meet two super cuties-Logan and Luke!

2009-01-19T11:10:00.001-08:00

You know, I"m one of those people who think you can love every person you meet, simply because we are all people. Simply because we all deserve it. There was a line in a superhero movie recently that cracked me up-the female lead was telling the hero that he falls in love with every woman he meets. LOL. That's how I feel about these little ones I'm lucky enough to meet. They are fabulous kids, full of life and energy and so deserving of love and respect. And it is so easy to give it because they love people too. I feel so blessed to share photography with these families!

I'm done rambling,lol. I'm happy to introduce you to the very adorable almost two year old ball of energy Logan and his very adorable baby brother, Luke. I hope mom and dad enjoy the sneak peek! Thanks for looking!

I wish I could say that I was responsible for this gorgeous, authentic laugh, but I wasn't! Logan was laughing and playing with his mommy and he just happened to turn my way! Lucky me! He had one of the most infectious giggles I've ever heard.

baby fingers are yummy!

Luke is one of those shiny, happy babies. I loved his bright, cheery eyes!

There is something so special about watching kids interacting with their parents. Logan was crazy over his mom and dad, and they were crazy over him. It was such a joy to watch!

Isn't it funny how, when they stop running for five seconds, they realize they are worn out?!

Luke was busy trying to figure this whole camera thing out!

. . . wish you were here. . .

2008-12-31T15:36:00.000-08:00

in sunny Florida with us! We decided on a total whim to take off right after Christmas for some much needed SUNSHINE! We are very lucky to have amazing family here in Florida who graciously welcomed us to their home. It has been such a wonderful week! Total rejuvenation-mind,body,and spirit! It is my sincere hope that however your family has celebrated this holiday season, that it has been wonderful and happy for you! Many, many wishes for a VERY exciting, hope filled New Year!

Well I guess it's official. . .

2008-12-01T10:14:00.000-08:00

Winter is here! Decatur was covered with our first snow of the season on Saturday night, and then again last night. The kids were so excited to wake up and find a couple of inches this morning. I wish I could say it was loads of fun playing outside, but somehow the fun never lasts more than a few minutes. . . how is it that it takes half and hour to get four kids (three of whom are self sufficient) dressed for snow and out the door, and then they only actually last out there for roughly, five minutes? Then you have a pile of wet clothes and shoes,lol. Aah, winter in Illinois! Only a few months to go! hahahaha. Stay warm and have fun friends!

If nothing else, I have some fun new photos of my own kids, who have been woefully neglected in the photo department this fall!

This is definitely a new favorite for me. My oldest son, Jack, hates to have his photo taken, but he was having fun and gave me a relaxed happy face when I called his name. Lucky mom.

I guess it's time to remove the pumpkins from the front porch! hahaha.

May I just point out that James is wearing his "indiana jones" hat. He is rarely without that thing,lol.

Precious baby Owen

2008-11-25T19:50:00.000-08:00

Sigh. I really don't think I will ever,ever get tired of newborn sessions. I also don't think I will ever get used to being lucky enough to meet these beautiful new little ones and their families. What a blessing!

Baby Owen was just as sweet as they come. A beautiful, tiny little guy with a mama who adores him (and I'm sure his daddy is nuts over him too, I just didn't get to meet him,lol.). Pure bliss! Many thanks to Rikki for sharing beautiful baby Owen with me. I hope you will love the photos as much as I do! Your gallery is nearly ready!

The End!

Sweet,pink baby Natalie, three days.

2008-11-13T19:40:00.000-08:00

Natalie is just darling! She was still so pink and new when I saw her last week, only three days old! She was alert and awake the whole time I was there! Brian and Trish-thanks for sharing this time with me. Natalie is darling,but you already know that! I hope you'll love your gallery!

hee hee, she was done with me!

sweet,sweet new baby Laynee. . .four days new.

2008-11-04T22:46:00.001-08:00

Love. The purest, most amazing love. The love of a brand new baby. Baby Laynee was just perfect and gorgeous and amazing. And her mom, oh my, her mom loves her! It was truly beautiful to watch. I felt so honored to be there, to witness that relationship, to capture this time for them. Thank you Sammi, for sharing your beautiful new daughter with me. It was a beautiful afternoon! I hope you'll love your gallery.

A beautiful birthday girl and her darling big brother

2008-11-01T22:18:00.000-07:00

What a fun day this was! The adorable little Brielle turned two on the day of our session. She was so bubbly and happy and excited for her party-a costume party, so we even let the kids play in their costumes for a bit! What a fun little spirit she is! And her big brother, also just adorable, was excited for the party as well. Ethan was energetic and happy too. Thank you so much for sharing such a special day with me and I hope you love your gallery!

Guess which little pumpkin is six months old already?!

2008-10-21T17:45:00.000-07:00

Sweet Baby Xander-that's who! I seriously cannot believe he is already six months old! And I can't believe how lucky I am to have photographed him so many times! He just gets cuter and cuter, which I didn't think was possible! Slow down big guy!

La,La,Love Ya, Pretty Baby!

2008-10-15T20:42:00.001-07:00

I realize I may be the only person who remembers the song by The Pixies that I got my title from,lol. Take my word for it, it was a good song,though it has nothing to do with babies.

I DO love this beautiful baby girl! You all may remember her from a few months back-I photographed her with her beautiful cousin,baby Madisyn. I only did a few of Miss Kylie and was THRILLED when her mom called for a session at their gorgeous home. What a treat to go hang out with Kylie again. She is just such a beautiful, sweet, charming baby. One of those that I want to put in my pocket and take home!

We played with the roses her daddy planted, we ran around the yard, and then we headed to her precious little nursery to play some more. I had a wonderful time with the whole family. My sincerest thanks to Kylie and her parents, for sharing this time with me. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek! Your gallery is almost ready!

Did I mention I'm nuts about this baby?! Is she not just gorgeous?!!

Boy, oh boy,oh BOY!

2008-10-04T20:23:00.000-07:00

Three adorable, sweetheart little boys,three times the fun, all in one family! This was such a fun, happy session (despite the mosquitoes who tried to eat us!). My sincerest thanks to Noah, Joel and baby Alex for a delightful afternoon at the park. You guys are awesome, and so are your very patient, very sweet parents!
I hope you guys love the sneak peek. Your gallery will be ready in a few days!

everybody needs a good snuggle.

Baby Braden. Another amazing, beautiful newborn.

2008-09-22T20:07:00.001-07:00

Another sweet and tiny little boy. With parents who *adore* him. It makes my heart just swell to see parents loving their baby so sweetly.
My sincerest thanks to Braden's beautiful mom and dad for having me over to share this time with them. Your gallery is almost done! I hope you'll love these as much as I do!

Oh how I love to meet these little babies!

six pounds of sugar.

2008-09-16T20:36:00.001-07:00

I swear I'm the luckiest girl in the whole city of Decatur. I get to meet the most beautiful families. The sweetest kids. The most adorable newborns!

Sweet baby Tommy was a total sweetheart. Just a tiny little peanut, but pure sugar!
Thanks again, to Tommy's mom and dad for sharing this very special time with me. Your gallery will be ready in a few days! I know you'll be as delighted as can be when you see these!

Meet the very darling, baby Tommy!

Brand new baby Melissa, and her fabulous big sis!

2008-08-20T23:11:00.001-07:00

There is something so very special about a new baby. Their tiny sweetness. Discovering who this new person is, and what she will add to a family. Aaah, pure bliss.

I had such a lovely afternoon with the beautiful baby Melissa and her beautiful big sister, Madison. Not to mention a mom and dad who clearly adore both of their daughters! Thank you so much for having me for the afternoon, and for sharing your darling family. Your gallery is live tomorrow! I hope you'll be thrilled! Without further ado. . .

I'm pretty sure it's HIM who's wrapped around HER finger, but this is sweet too. Hee Hee.

Mommy, daddy and baby Melissa, so completely sweet!

and one of big sister, Madison. She is gorgeous and hilarious and energetic and awesome. She showed me her bunny collection, her lipgloss collection and shared her love of superheroes. I know lots of moms out there are cringing at that bit of hair in her face. . . but oooohhh that is SO her! She barely slowed down for a second and was just SO full of personality!

Did I mention how much big sister Madison loves her new baby?! Kisses, kisses and more kisses!

The very beautiful baby Madisyn, and her very beautiful cousin Kylie

2008-08-09T22:45:00.000-07:00

What a complete joy this session was! (Yea, I know, I say that about all of my sessions, I can't help it, I love my job!)

Baby Madisyn is a DOLL! Total sweetheart, happy, laid back little girl. At almost 11 weeks she is super alert and attentive and loves, loves, loves to kick those legs!

Her adorable cousin, Kylie came along for a few photos as well! Kylie's mom bought the girls matching dresses when Madisyn was born and we got some very sweet photographs of the two of them together!

My sincerest thanks to both baby girls and their lovely families for inviting me into your home and spending the afternoon with me. I had a wonderful time! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and your gallery will be ready very soon!

Did I mention BEAUTIFUL?! Her eyes are incredible!

A quiet moment on mommy's shoulder. . .

And happy again! Couldn't you just eat her up?!

Kylie wasn't so sure about all of this at first! And is she just too darling for words or what?! And again with the incredible eyes!

When Kylie relaxed a little and gave us some smiles we couldn't help but smile back! Look at that toothy little grin!

Two little darlings.

2008-07-29T13:01:00.001-07:00

It's hard to believe that three months have gone by since I last photographed these two beautiful children, our good friends. Baby Xander is three months and his big sister,Evelyn, celebrated her fourth birthday in April. It is always a pleasure to see these two, and to celebrate who they are with photographs. I hope their mom and dad enjoy the little sneak peek!

A little bitty psa. . .

2008-07-19T22:50:00.000-07:00

We recently adopted this beautiful, SWEET three year old kitty from the animal shelter. He is amazing. So loving and sweet. Someone must have really loved him before he ended up in the shelter b/c he loves to snuggle and is just super sweet and mellow. We are so very happy to have him with us! And I hope that someone didn't lose him and misses him.

So, the psa part-when I was at the shelter filling out the paperwork the lady at the desk said they had over SEVENTY cats/kittens right now. That's A LOT of cats. And that's just one shelter. I think there are four shelters in this town! While I was standing there a gentleman brought in seven more kittens. Wow. If you have ever thought about adopting a cat, do it now! There are some amazing, wonderful companions in these shelters, just waiting to come home!

And please, please if you have pets-indoor or outdoor-please spay or neuter them. If you can't afford it there are programs through the shelters to help, and many vets will help if you just let them know your situation. There are just way too many homeless animals out there!

Here's our new fur friend, isn't he cute?!

An evening with Ivy

2008-07-07T20:23:00.001-07:00

With the heat of summer upon us, my sessions are generally a bit later in the evening these days, well, the outdoor sessions anyway. A spent some time with Miss Ivy who will soon be turning three years old and we had lots of fun running (and I mean RUNNING!) around the yard, baking sand cakes and laughing at her grandmother.

"Hmm, not so sure I'm in the mood for your camera. . ."

"Let's see if we can find any kittys in my camera!"

"I think I see one!"

and then, laughing at grandma, who is pretending to BE a kitty! lol

A book, a swing and some sunshine. What more could a girl want?

2008-06-13T10:24:00.001-07:00

Just a reminder to get out and find your own little slice of heaven. :)

Sneak Peek of baby Kayci!

2008-06-02T19:01:00.000-07:00

Just wait until you see these squishable cheeks! I had a lovely time meeting the VERY precious baby Kayci and her beautiful family. Kayci is six weeks old and nothing but sweetness. Thanks again for having us Stacy! The rest of your gallery will be ready in a couple of days. I hope you will love the photos!

and you know how I adore those little baby bits!

sweet sleeping princess!

still happy.

2008-05-27T21:14:00.000-07:00

I know, I know, think of a new title! ha. This photo just makes me, well, HAPPY. So you're stuck with more happy thoughts for today!

I hope you have had many, many reasons to laugh out loud today. To scream with delight about something. To just be happy that you are alive! And I hope that your tomorrow is a blessed one.

happy.

2008-05-23T11:50:00.000-07:00

I am so happy lately.

Happy for spring and all of the glorious colors and flowers and warmth!

Happy for good times with good friends and my family.

Happy that I FINALLY saw The Cure on stage, live! And I danced my heart out.

Happy that I still feel young.

Why are you happy today friends?

Ramdom Acts of Kindness

2008-05-12T13:58:00.001-07:00

What if you could change someone's whole day with a single act of kindness? You can. All you have to do is reach out. It's a little scary at first, the thought of opening yourself up to a perfect stranger, but really, what's the worst that can happen? They can walk away and think that you're crazy. OK. Life goes on. But imagine the GOOD that can come from the act of kindness when it is accepted! start small if you want, a friendly hello, a heart felt thank you, ask someone how THEY are and really, really listen. Or you can try what these folks did. . . check out this video, it's sure to make you smile. And then, go out and change someone's day for the better!

the beautiful maddie and her beautiful mama.

2008-05-09T16:30:00.001-07:00

Maddie was another of the amazing, gorgeous children who modeled for us at Marmalade's, "See the Light" workshop" (http://www.seethelightworkshop.com/). This was a fantastic workshop that focused on pushing your business forward. What I loved most about the day we went out shooting, was that we were able to take the models off with a parent and really get to know them. Talk with them, play with them-just like we would do at a regular session! I love true human connection, and we were really able to take the time we wanted to share that with these kids and their parents! If you're thinking about a business workshop, I can't recommend this one enough! Now, on to more photos!!
Maddie was trying to decide which princess is her favorite. lol. She was full of funny stories!

And when she got tired, she knew where to turn for comfort and snuggles, her sweet mom. Yep, that's Whitney, mom to the adorable baby Lyla who you saw a few days ago. Whitney was so kind and gentle with her kids, such a joy to watch!

And someone was feeling recharged and silly again!

Thanks again to Marianne, the other attendees, and all of the parents and their children. It was a wonderful weekend! I still have a few more images to share tomorrow! Thanks for looking friends!

pure love.

2008-05-07T09:16:00.000-07:00

aaaahhhh I LOVE seeing mama's and baby's just being together the way they are. The little nuances, the snuggles, the tenderness, the quirks of different children.
Here is sweet Lyla again (she was the upside down baby a few posts ago!) and her beautiful mom Whitney. I hope mom enjoys these. I sincerely enjoyed meeting them and watching them love each other.

Hiding with mom. LOL. Who hasn't experienced this?!

In honor of Mother's Day, and a sneak peek!

2008-05-05T13:23:00.000-07:00

i wanted to do something fun to celebrate Mother's Day this weekend, so I decided to offer a fun "special" for Jennifer Lane Photography. Book your session and mention the Mother's Day blog post and enjoy 15% off of any prints you purchase from that session! This deal expires June 1, 2008 so don't delay!

Now, on to the photos! I'm going to post a mom/baby (or child) photo every day this week in honor of Mother's Day! Stay tuned, it's going to be fun.

The first of our mom's to be featured this week is Jen. A beautiful mom to two beautiful children. Baby Xander just arrived and is a sweetheart, laid back kind of guy! Big sister is loving him up and adjusting quite well!

Can I get a group "awww!" please? In this photo Xander is wearing the outfit his dad wore home for the hospital when HE was born! How sweet is that?!

And I had to share one of the beautiful big sister, look at that smile!

sweetness.

2008-04-30T21:31:00.000-07:00

I love parent/child images that really show some LOVE, some emotion, some connection. I love mama's who want to be captured lovin' on their babies. I have spent far too many years avoiding being in front of the camera and my kids will one day wonder where the heck I was. Take some photos of yourself with your kids. Beg someone else to snap a few. Go to a professional photographer and have some created. . . whatever method, just do it! Your kids will not care that your hair wasn't the way you love it or that you had twenty pounds to lose, they will just see the love you share.
All of that said, I was seriously delighted when Charlie's mama agreed to jump in for a few images of the two of them. K is gorgeous and has the same amazing smile as Charlie. The two of them have a beautiful connection that was evident immediately! I LOVED watching them play and love each other. Here's just one little peek for K! I hope you love it, I really do. And I'm going to make myself not share anymore for a while, I want K to have some surprises when her images are all ready, lol! Which HOPEFULLY will be mid week next week! I will have some more fabulous mama/kiddo images coming soon though. Of another gorgeous mama and her babies! Stay tuned!

the coolest little dude, Charlie.

2008-04-23T21:58:00.000-07:00

ok seriously, I feel so lucky. Photography is such a joy for me, just being able to create photographs is a treat. But add to that, the amazing people I get to meet because of it and wow. I am just so lucky. Really blessed is a much better word.

I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Charlie and his beautiful mom, Krissy, a few weeks ago and boy did I have fun! Charlie sang, he danced, he jumped and ran, he LAUGHED and made me laugh. He was a total doll. Beautiful, soulful eyes and amazing smile. I wanted to put him in my pocket and bring him home with me! I will be posting some more images of him in the coming days because I just love him, lol!! I sincerely hope Krissy enjoys these. And I hope you can all see through these photographs just how much fun we had that beautiful, sunny afternoon.

Krissy and Charlie, thank you for coming out to the shoot. I am a better person for having spent an afternoon with you both. I'll be back with more in a couple of days!

upside down!

2008-04-09T08:31:00.000-07:00

That's how I feel lately, lol! Way behind with my online friends-I'm so sorry I've neglected you guys!! I'm hoping to get back to my old groove soon. After traveling for nine days straight, I just have lots of catching up to do!

I met this little cutie over the weekend at the "See the Light" workshop, put together by the ohsoamazing Marmalade Photography. I feel like my business/marketing has had this great shot in the arm! I have so many wonderful new ideas to implement, changes to make! I can't wait!For my photography friends, if you're looking for a business/marketing/shooting boost, check her out! I'm so glad I went!! I have so much more to share and to tell you guys! And just wait for Charlie, omgosh, I fell in love with that little man! He'll be making his blog debut soon!

Thanks to my friends who asked me where the heck I've been, lol. And apologies to my blog who is feeling neglected. I'll try to do better!

Thanks for checking in friends! Hope to see you all soon!

pocket full of peep.

2008-03-23T21:18:00.001-07:00

Just sending out some happy easter wishes! Hope you all smiled today.

How aware are you?

2008-03-22T10:13:00.000-07:00

My husband shared this interesting little youtube video with me. . . watch it all the way to the end.
Turns out I am totally unaware, lol!

Documenting the little things

2008-03-06T17:57:00.000-08:00

Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about children. I think they are seriously amazing. By far the coolest members of our society. So full of life, love, trust, confidence, freedom. What could be better?! I think capturing the little details of our children is critically important. Obviously the medium I usually choose is the photograph. That's a personal preference. Whatever your favorite way is, make sure you're doing it. Documenting who these amazing people are. Documenting what they love. What they said that made you laugh this morning. What they love the most right now. What little quirkc they have. You get the idea, capture it, capture it while you can. They are growing and changing every single day and every day with them is a gift, cherish it and let them know how much you love them, how amazing they are. They deserve to hear it.

This image is a few weeks old, and it's a repeat for many of my online photo sharing friends, but it goes well with what I'm trying to say tonight. This is my twelve year old daughter.She really is like sunshine for my soul. The reason I love this image is because it captures the way she tucks her hair behind her ear when she has it pulled back. It's a simple, subtle thing that she does without thinking about it, while in the midst of conversation, but it's a very real part of who she is on a day to day basis right now. And I never want to forget. Thanks for letting me ramble! Go capture something that you cherish about your child. :)

six day old sugar.

2008-02-22T21:01:00.000-08:00

Meet the most precious six day old ever! Two weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing beautiful baby Elisabeth. She was a total sweetheart and wide awake most of the time! Quite a darling little chunkaroo, she was almost 11lbs at birth! Thank you to the C family for allowing me to share this very special time with you. You guys are a beautiful, amazing family.Tiny toes because I know her mama loves toesies!

Can you believe all of that beautiful, dark hair!

And finally, a little pout. (Don't worry, I have a version with her whole head too, lol, I just loved that pout!) I have a feeling I will be sharing lots more of this little doll. And J, I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek!

snow fun.

2008-02-02T12:43:00.001-08:00

S
So if your kids are anything like mine, a snow storm is the best thing ever. Our deck seems to collect snow like crazy, we had 14" up there when we woke up on Friday! James declared that he'd have to dig his car out before he could go to work. Poor kid, his work is just never done.

Hahaha. Just a little snap to say hello on our snowy, snowy weekend! Hope you're all having fun and staying warm!

Sneak Peek for Lindsay!

2008-01-26T19:40:00.001-08:00

A little bitty peak for Lindsay. I had a lot of fun hanging out with these two darling kids. Baby girl was so laid back and sweet. And big brother was funny and way into his train table! They both have the most amazing eyes and eyelashes! Thanks again for having me over! Your gallery will be ready in the next few days!

A few more of the amazing belly.

2008-01-23T11:25:00.001-08:00

Now that the owner of this gorgeous belly has seen (and loves!) her images, I thought I'd share a couple more. And as always , thanks for stopping by!

sneak peek for J.

2008-01-19T12:56:00.000-08:00

2008-01-17T21:53:00.000-08:00

First of all, my apologies for being so negligent with the blog lately! Have you guys gotten back to normal since the holidays yet? I'm not sure we have!

I do have a very beautiful maternity session that I'm working on right now and then this adorable session with two super darling kids. For now, may this little tidbit of fun hold you over! I'll be back with more soon!

Ho Ho Ho

2007-12-13T21:15:00.001-08:00

Sending out some holiday cheer for all of my friends in blog land!

2007-12-06T14:11:00.001-08:00

Winter seems to be here for good, we're practicing for the first snow! James loves his new hat and so do I!

Thanks to my friend Stephanie of Sugar and Spice Knits.
hyenacart.com/sugarandspiceknits/

She is quite a talented dyer and knitter!

Hope you are all staying nice and warm!

a new favorite.

2007-11-20T19:58:00.001-08:00

That's what this one is, a new favorite for me. My sweet little girly.

sometimes it's the little bitty things...

2007-11-14T21:02:00.000-08:00

2007-10-16T19:28:00.003-07:00

I've just gotten home from a photography workshop that I attended over the weekend. It was a wonderful, exciting, information packed workshop with Brianna Graham. She is an incredibly talented photographer and wonderful teacher too. I'll have lots more images to share in the coming days! For now, here is one, super sweet little three year old, Miss A.

Haev you ever been kissed by a fish?

2007-10-08T20:03:00.000-07:00
