Baby Portrait Session :: Little Starlet

I met Kim & Jared with their beautiful 9-month-old daughter in Harrisburg on a warm and muggy Saturday morning for her baby portrait session. Anyone who was out and about last weekend may know just how buggy it was~ apparently we hit the 'swarm' time for little flying things~ thankfully we found some areas where it was not too bad and all three were real troopers!

As I was editing these images, I kept thinking how pretty Kim is and what a great couple she and Jared make~ I have truly been blessed to meet awesome people through my work. I guess it's possible that I become a bit biased about my clients~ I just love them all! And I love the dynamics of personalities within families. Kim is a self-professed non-girly girl, but her daughter already prefers things glittery and stylish (check out her shoes~ yep, she picked them out herself!) When Kim was putting on her makeup for the session, this sweet little one protested until her nose was 'powdered' too! She is just a darling, and certainly has daddy wrapped her finger already. With those gorgeous blue eyes, how could she not?

Giving Back~ Organizations supported by Circle of Life Photography

In giving back, Circle of Life Photography's main goal is to help those experiencing extreme poverty and nourishing them with food, shelter and spiritual guidance. Education is a big part of helping people learn how to help themselves and change the downward spiral of poverty for a better future for themselves and their children. Locally, a more tangible way of giving back is through using my photography gifts to serve others who are experiencing crisis (see NILMDTS and Pillows of Love.)
