Her session took place in the morning, during her regular naptime, so the odds were stacked against us. But patience and persistence and lots of singing and silliness paid off!! Enjoy, “H” family!

I met this sweet boy at his newborn session a year ago and look at him now! You might recognize him because he’s graced the front page of my blog a few times over the last year. :) He really enjoyed the balloons his mommy brought to the session and of course his yummy cakey goodness at the end! Enjoy your sneak peeks, “V” family! Thank you for inviting me to photograph your adorable children over the last year! :)

My adorable sneak peeks today are of little “J” who is turning 1 years old this month! Oh my gosh is he a gorgeous baby!!! He was having a “daddy day” and clung to his proud papa almost the entire session. :) I love so many of his pictures, it was hard narrowing down which ones to pick for this sneak peek! My job is so tough at times!! ;-) (giggle giggle)

I wanted to do a quick sneak peek of my mini session with my own two boys – so I will remember how sweet, sassy and unpredictable they are at this age, 3 years old and 20 months old. I am again reminded that it is soooo much easier for me to take pictures of other people’s children! :) I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!! I have two more newborn sneak peeks coming up before the end of the year – so check back soon! :)

PS. That’s Hunter’s “Build-a-Bear” bear. His name is “Biwuld-da-beawr” :) (Our cat’s name is “kitteh” – see where we lack creativity when naming animals? lol)

A boy and his bear…

Hayden running faaarrr away from my camera (He gets his cast off on Tuesday!!!)…

And Hunter… :)

In between their session date and today, I had 2 newborn sessions, 2 family sessions, Thanksgiving with our family in San Antonio, an ER visit on Friday night after my youngest son fell and broke his wrist (we also thought he had a head concussion but thankfully he did not) and a looong weekend waiting for Monday to come so we could get an appointment with a pediatric orthapedic specialist to put him into a cast. Whew. And then comes the rain… :(

But I digress, I had so much fun meeting 5 families on my final mini session event of the year. We had perfect warm sunny weather and Mayfield was buzzing with photographers and dressed-up families. I love this time of year! I’m sharing a lot of sneak peeks on this post so be sure to wait for them to load – they are worth it! :) Enjoy!

He was a big ball of happy energy (much like my own two little rascals!). I hope you enjoy your sneak peeks as much as I do! :)

Isn’t she lovely?

I had fun chasing her around last weekend – she’s quick! But luckily, so am I with my camera and I caught this adorable smile :)

Her mama is uber talented and made her pretty dresses and matching bows…

Little Miss “P” also has a handsome older brother who is so wonderful with her…

I was super excited to try out my new coral pink background I recently bought! Ella Bella Photography has officially gone PINK! (Loving it!!)

And now for the good part! Little Miss “P” is my very first baby to totally and completely SMASH her cake during the “cake smash” segment of her 1 year photo session!!! (I knew when she put her face in the cake that it was going to be a memorable occasion!) Enjoy your sneak peek, “G” family!!

You may have seen this little cutie on my blog earlier this year! Miss “C” is now 18 months old and has the sweetest curls in her hair! She still has those gorgeous brown eyes that are going to break some hearts one day! I managed to keep up with her at the park last week, after breaking my toe just 5 days before her photo session. (Even with a broken toe, I only rescheduled one photo session – I love my job so much I just can’t stay out of the game for long!) Enjoy your sneak peek, “S” family!

I broke my toe earlier this week and it’s been hard to get back up on my feet again (pun intended). :-) I’ll be sharing more sneak peeks later this weekend/early next week!

And because I can’t post without a photo – here is my littlest boy, Hayden, 16 months old…

Miss “L” was such a sweet baby girl, full of smiles and giggles. :) I just adored her pink tutu that she wore towards the end of the session too! Another photographer came up during our session and commented on how cute she was in her tutu. The photog told us that she was a mom of boys. Hmmm… that sounds familiar! ;-)

Enjoy your sneak peek! Happy 1st Birthday to your beautiful little girl!!

This is her (affectionately named) “stinky” face… :)

They are both super cute and very active little guys – very fun to photograph. I adore their beautiful eyes and sweet smiles! Enjoy your sneak peek, “F” family!

Look at this gorgeous little girl and her amazing blue eyes! I tell ya, eyes just don’t get more sparkly blue than this! And what a fun family she has, after their formal pictures were taken, they put on their blue jeans and chucks!! Can I just admit how much I adore pink chucks?!?! If I ever have a baby girl, she’ll probably wear pink chucks home from the hospital. ;-)

It was a lot of fun chasing them around the park, asking them questions about life as a three year old, and watching the excitement in each of their eyes over selecting their favorite gummy bear treat at the end of the session. Their 3 month old baby brother was super adorable and full of smiles too! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek, “G” family! (We’ll have to stop by your house on our way to Destin this summer so you can meet my boys!)

I asked them to show me how they are on their fingers… :)

I’m already ordering supplies for his 1st birthday party!! I blinked, and he grew up. (Okay, okay, I have that “song” playing, but hey!) I still have 5 more weeks to savor his babyhood and all those precious slobbery smiles, the way he holds my hand while I’m nursing him, the way he says “bahbahbah” and does the parade-wave to say goodbye, the look of excitement and anticipation whenever I throw him up into the air, the way he looks at me when I enter the room, and so so much more. I love him and the chill, careful, crazy little guy he’s growing up to be…
