Children, Family

she finally smiled…

As the mother of an extremely shy little girl, I fully understand that not every kid is going to warm up to me in 1-2 hours.  I always try my hardest, singing, dancing, and yes, bribing at times, but some kids just don’t crack.  And there’s nothing that mom, dad or I can do.  That’s just the way it is.

Well, you never would have guessed it but the gorgeous, smiling little beauty below once was uncrackable! She was completely immune to my singing, and dancing and promise of candy.  But, to my surprise during this session she was a little supermodel 🙂  I was in shock as she posed, laughed and smiled like an old pro!

I adore this little girl and her little family.  And I couldn’t be more excited to photograph them again in the fall.

a little ray of sunshine…

Ok, so I have to start off by saying that this little girl kills me!  And I mean that in the nicest of ways:-)  But she really does kill me!  I just don’t know how you can get so much cuteness into such a little package!

She has the most incredible smile, and such a happy personality, she reminds me of a little ray of sunshine!  Seriously, spend an afternoon with her and you’ll feel like all is right in the world.

Your day will feel a little brighter after looking at her photos:-)

Enjoy

sweet charlotte

She was so tiny and sweet, just as you would expect any little girl to be, but there was something a little extra sweet about little Charlotte.  Maybe it was her porcelain skin, or pouty rose-tinted lips, or the fact that she loved to be snuggled.  I’m not exactly sure, but I do know that I enjoyed every moment with her.

I saw her just the other day and she already seemed so big.  I tell all my newborn clients to enjoy each and every moment, even the tedious ones, because they really are only that small for such a short time.  I feel lucky that I get to freeze time for them, so they can always remember what 7 days old looked like.

 

The blanky that Miss Charlotte is snuggled on was made by her great-grandma, which I’m sure makes this set of photographs that much more special for her family.

little man C

Before I get started talking about the unbelievable cuteness that your about to view, I want to give everyone a few quick Becky Hales Photography updates:

1) Summer is packed.  And when I say ‘packed’ I mean PACKED!  I have a select few dates left in July (weekdays), and August is almost full too.  Please email me ASAP if you want to schedule a summer shoot before the kids go back to school.

2) My travel schedule for the next few months is as follows,

*Seattle- August 6-20 (I only have 1 session available)

*Phoenix/Scottsdale- late September (dates are not yet set in stone)

3) I have had a few people inquire about when to schedule Senior Portraits for 2012 seniors, and the answer is NOW!  The sooner the better 🙂

4) The next Redlands Mini-Session event will take place in September!  If you are interested and not already on the Mini-Session email list, shoot me an email (beckyhalesphotography@live.com) with your info and once the date is secured you’ll be the first to know.

 

OK, enough with all that businessy stuff, and onto the cuteness…

 

Meet my little friend C.  He’s an absolute DOLL, and and when you see his parents you know where he gets it.  I was pleasantly surprised when he slept through his entire session, because did I mention that he’s one month old!  Most babies at this age have a harder time staying asleep during the different transitions of a photoshoot.  But, not this little guy.  He slept so peacefully 🙂

and baby makes 3…

Meet the incredibly cute S family.  They welcomed their sweet baby girl into the world just 3 months ago, and she’s such a delightful little thing.  I photographed her when she was still in her Mama’s belly, so it was a treat to get to see her now.  During the shoot I couldn’t decide who she resembled more, Mom or Dad, but through the editing process I noticed she truly is an even combination of them both, and of course, ridiculously cute too!

Doesn’t this Daddy-Daughter photo just melt your heart!  I love that I get to capture tender moments like this for families.

Baby Broden

There is nothing more precious and nothing more perfect than the gift a of a sweet new baby, and Broden is that gift to his family.  He was just 1 month old at his session, and let me tell you, he was such a calm and relaxed little man.  This worked in my favor, because he decided not to sleep a wink while I was there!

I’m excited to see little Broden again later this month.

Sisterly Love…

The first time I met these two gorgeous little girls, the youngest was just 6 weeks old, and now she’s a big ONE year old!  Wow, how time flies.  These two are so cute, I swear they’re supermodels in training!  And could they be dressed an cuter?

 

I just about DIED when she put herself in this pose.  I told you, she’s supermodel MATERIAL!!!

Out of all of the photos, I have to say this one is my favorite.  I just love how simple and sweet it is.

By the end of the session the youngest was DONE.  But, we really wanted to get some photos celebrating her first birthday.  Luckily all we needed to do was sing “Happy Birthday.”  Her tears dried right up and she was happy as a clam!

Personal

Welcome!

Welcome to the brand spanking new Becky Hales Photography blog!  After many long hours of hard work, I’m happy to showoff my new site.  Not only is this new blog so much cooler than the old one, but it’s like a billion times easier for me to use! It used to take me hours just to put together one blog post because I had to upload photos individually then edit each photo’s html code to size it just right, but now uploading photos takes just one click!  I can’t even explain how excited I am!!!  Long story short, I plan on using this blog much more often, and actually being able to showcase my work in a time-efficient manner.

 

So, what better way to start the new blog than with photos of my favorite little muffin.  I held a mini-session event a few weeks ago, and Leah tagged along…I couldn’t deny her the chance to play at the lake, and talk to the cows.  Well, to my total surprise, she was game to take some photos!!!  If you followed my old blog you know how incredible this is.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to leave comments, or questions, and please come back often!
