3 Month Pocahontas Baby Photos

I tried to think of a Disney Princess for this fall photo shoot. I came up with Pocahontas since she’s always got leaves blowing around her, and plus it’s almost Thanksgiving! Baby was not in a happy mood today, so unfortunately I didn’t get any smile; but she still made some adorable photos.

Since it was too cold outside to get photos in the real leaves, I found some fabric leaves and made a little river with a scarf and some Christmas lights under it. I am really happy with how it all turned out.

I love this picture on the left… it looks like she is praying!

2 Month Cinderella Baby Photos

Baby is Cinderella for her 2 month photos… She wasn’t feeling well today, but I still got a few smiles!

I had a lot of fun creating this beautiful magical photo set for her.

I love ivy and pumpkins. I wanted to incorporate the pumpkins, but I didn’t want to have bright orange in my magical fairyland; so I spray painted sliver onto some pumpkins and they turned out great!

2 Month October Pumpkin Baby Photos

Two months old this October, and I love pumpkins! It was a bit chilly so I had to do an outfit change at the last minute. I was just going to do the tutu and bow, but added the overalls; it turned out so adorable!

I used a basket that I found in the kitchen and the crate that we use to keep things in the living room, so I didn’t have to buy any props except the pumpkins!

She really did not enjoy this photo shoot very much, but I did manage to get a smile near the end.

Bugs Birthday Party -1

We had a bug themed party for T’s first birthday!  I made bug balloons by filling latex balloons with helium and using rubber cement to hold them together.  For the Bee Balloon I used 2 yellow balloons and wrapped some black electrical tape around for the bee’s stripes.  Then I used tissue paper for the wings, black pipe cleaner for the antenna, and googly eyes for eyes.  I added a mouth with black sharpie.  For the Ladybug Balloon I found some red balloons with black spots. I glued a small black balloon for the head, used googly eyes for the eyes, and black pipe cleaner for the antenna again.  For the Caterpillar Balloon glued together 4 green balloons and used green pipe cleaner for the legs and antenna.  I used a sharpie for the mouth and added googly eyes to the caterpillar as well.  I set them up outside and it was a bit too windy for the balloons, most of them ended up popping before the end of the party!

We grilled burgers and hot dogs for lunch.  We also had ants on a lot and ladybug watermelon balls (I just put mini chocolate chips in the watermelon balls.) I taped black construction paper ants to my red and white checkered table cloth.

I filled red, green, and yellow water balloons for the kids to play with.

I got kind of carried away with the desserts and ended up making 3 sweets.  We had gummy worms in chocolate pudding with crushed Oreo’s on top.  We had a beehive cake with cream cheese frosting and bees made out of chocolate covered almonds and mini marshmallow wings.  And we had caterpillar cupcakes with candy faces.

I had my sister-in-law, Cloninger Photography, take T’s 1 year old photos and they turned out great!

Happy 1st Birthday Baby Boy!  I love you!

I have tons of other kids party themes:

Toddler Fall Portraits

I love fall in the Midwest with all of the colored leaves. J is loving the weather too, since he likes playing outside so much! I followed him around trying to get some cute photos as he explored.

We took some fall pictures, he was much more cooperative than I thought he would be. He like’s trying to play with the trees, rocks, and leaves. He even posed by the tree with his hand on it for me, and sitting in front of it.

22 months old now.

Baby Christmas Portraits

I like taking pictures of Baby J (13 months old), and I love Christmas too. J was such a good baby, he didn’t touch the tree when we taught him not to; but he did love playing with the ornaments when we gave him one.

He was just a month old for his first Christmas, so this year so much more fun with him.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… I love preparing for Christmas, and I usually start my planning a few months before. I’ll use some of these photos in my Christmas cards and defiantly include them in my scrapbooks.
