For the Love of Claire

I have had the joy of photographing the first year of Claire's life. Repeatedly, she's been a happy little camper for my lens. Each time her Mom has asked me to take on this meritorious "task," I can't help but be eager to capture this sweetheart ~ yet again! The lucky photographer, that's me! Hey; that would make a great book title, don't you think?!

So, here we are, about to walk down memory lane together. Won't you join me?

Do you remember this one? 

 and these?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And, now, here she is at 1 year . . .

Ever so grateful for another chance to photograph this lovely little girl. Thank you Katie & John. I am continuously blessed by your friendship, and for the opportunities to be your photographer. Your Claire is growing beautifully. She's a pleasure to know and love. 

With gratitude, love and friendship,

always,

Barb

Little Miss Annabelle

I photographed this sweet baby girl when she was still in her mommy's tummy ;) Well, not exactly her beautiful baby face, but the 'bump' that she was creating as she grew, making her parents long for her to arrive. And arrive she did! Then I had the distinct honor of photographing her as a newborn babe. My how she has grown! Here she is ~ 8 months young and a complete joy to know. We had ( I had ) such a fun time together ~ playing peek-a-boo and making faces at each other. . . Take a look at this sweetheart's photos, but I will warn you now .. You will smile. A lot. :)

Here's a little 'inside joke' for the family to appreciate. We met at this Dad's parents' vacation retreat home on a lake just north of Reading, PA. He has plenty of fond memories at this lake as he spent most of his boyhood summers here since he was baby himself. This memory came in the form of an "old" photo of he and his mom sitting in the same spot, with a surprise guest in the distance. . . somewhat of a ghostly nature, you could say. ;)

Oh, how I love this next shot.

         She found her belly button !

  

Miss Annabelle is thriving with all the loving care she receives. I had the most difficult time while editing these photos because I wanted to share each and every one with her parents, but I had to make choices ~ tough choices, too! And I smiled the entire time I photographed her and during the editing process too! My, I love my job!! 

Thank you Angie & Chuck (and Annabelle) for another very special photo session together. My friends, you know how to spoil me!! 

And, I am very grateful to you for it.

Make some funny faces and give kisses to Annabelle for me.

Thank you again for sharing your little love with me.

 Gratefully yours,

Barb

baby, you oughtta be in pictures

I am partial to my 3 girls, and, as their mom, I think they are the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. But, I must say that this sweet 8 month-young baby girl is a definite contender! She has the most piercingly gorgeous blue eyes that I do believe I have ever seen.   

So, what do you think so far? Gorgeous, right?! Her mom said to me that "maybe I could win something for these pictures." But, I'm thinking she should win something for this beautiful baby! I entered this photo below in a "Beautiful Baby Photo Contest" for the chance to win some money for her college education...   

She thanks you for your vote!! She certainly has mine ;)

Please pass this post on to your family & friends.

Let's rock the vote, friends!!! :)

Love to all,

Barb

16 days young

I had the distinct honor of photographing this sweet, newborn baby girl. And what a joy she was. At 16 days young, she stole my heart. Her precious little face, hands, toes, little birthmark on her back, and her strawberry blonde hair. But what struck me the most was the strength I saw in this little bundle's eyes. I'm convinced she's destined for great things. Thank you to her mom and dad for allowing me this wonderful experience. I will treasure these images always. :)

Thank you for viewing, friends.

Your comments are always welcomed, and appreciated.

Bountiful blessings of love and peace are wished for you, little wonder,

little love, little girl.

Love,

Mrs. Liszcz ;)
