Caelan is 6 Months Old! Baby Portraits and Family Portraits - Jaclyn Paige Photography

This 6 month session was part of Caelan's "Watch Me Grow" package.  Since it was October, he decided that he would like to wear his Halloween costume for a couple shots.  He could be the cutest dragon we've ever seen.

Caelan is definitely growing!  It was exciting to see how much he had changed between his newborn session and the three-month point.  He is starting to smile and hold his head up, and his sweet little personality is beginning to emerge.  Not to mention Tabitha and Geoff seem to be adapting well to parenthood.  I can't wait for the six-month session in November!  (Oh, and take note of the basket- already he's getting big for it- it's the same basket we used for the newborn portraits.  Will he even fit by the time he's a year old?)  --Jaclyn

Lucy at 9 months - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Here's little Lucy- growing up fast!  It seems like just a couple months ago I was creating some of her very first portraits and now she's crawling, laughing, teething, exploring- and looking cuter every day.  We brought our studio set up to Lucy's home to get some indoor shots as well as outdoor pictures in natural light.  It's fun to do both in one session.  Lucy kept us smiling from behind the camera with all her sweet smiles for the camera! --Jaclyn

Caelan at Two Weeks - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Joshua and I first worked with Tabitha and Geoff when we shot their engagement session early last spring.  What a fun and happy couple!  Then, we did Tabitha's bridal session where we previewed her amazing dress and spent the afternoon capturing her gorgeous-ness (if that's not a word it should be!)  In June we spent Tabitha and Geoff's wedding day recording all the intimate moments and details from the morning preparations to the moonlit getaway.  We were a little sad when the day was over since we had come to consider them friends and not just clients.  Luckily we could relive the day while I created their album.  Now, Tabitha and Geoff are parents!  Tabitha called me for newborn pictures of their precious new son Caelan, and we packed up our studio gear for an in-home session.  What an adorable little guy.  Here are some favorites from the day. --Jaclyn

One Year Session - Children's Portrait Session - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Last week I had the great pleasure of photographing this little sweetie on her first birthday.  We had a great time playing in the yard, looking at Easter eggs, and smooshing cake!  She was especially excited to be surrounded by colorful eggs.  How fun to celebrate a birthday AND Easter in the same week! --Jaclyn

Alexis - Children's Portraits - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Before Christmas, I had the chance to photograph this beautiful baby girl and her family.  She has the sweetest disposition and her smile is absolutely contagious.  You'd never know it from these shots, but on this particular afternoon, Alexis had not had the chance to take a nap.  She was fairly subdued but never cranky- and we sure got a workout capturing any smiles she would give us!  --Jaclyn

Baby Lucy - Jaclyn Paige Photography

I want to share yet another baby friend of mine- Little Lucy.  Here, she is less than 24 hours old.  It is truly a privilege to be invited to help welcome a new life into this world by photographing her.  I am thrilled to have had the chance to visit her (and her parents!) in the hospital and hold such a tiny, fresh, new person.  Welcome to the world, Lucy! --Jaclyn

Little Nathan - Baby - Jaclyn Paige Photography

As a photographer, I have the joy of capturing people at all stages of life.  Generally I photograph people at the "getting married" stage, which I love!  Once in a while I photograph people in their first days and months of life.  At this stage they are sharing their first smiles instead of first dances, coos and squeaks instead of wedding toasts.  Here are just a couple shots of Nathan, who is already so much bigger and has had so many other firsts since this day! --Jaclyn

Arp Family Portrait Session - Jaclyn Paige Photography

A couple weeks ago, I got together with Tyler, Dee, and their 10-month old cutie at Sequoyah Hills Park. I discovered that babies are much smaller than brides in their wedding dresses! (I know, that seems pretty obvious!) The setting and background don't matter as much with little subjects because I get so close to them anyway. With brides in their dresses, I can back up and create an image that puts a bride in her wedding day surroundings, and she doesn't get lost in the scenery like a baby would. It was a neat change of pace for me. Dee and Tyler are such photogenic subjects, it's no wonder their little girl was so fun to capture as well. Thanks for a nice afternoon, you guys! --Jaclyn
