Enjoy the summer like a little kid

Lydia (my niece) came to our house to play a little while ago and while the day started off fairly low-key, we ended up thoroughly enjoying our time outside. Especially Lydia.

As I was watering our garden, she got into the hose and decided that she loved it. Amazing that even though by the end of the time she was pants-less and shivering, she still didn’t want to stop playing with the hose. It seriously was the cutest thing ever, and it’s times like that where I’m so glad I have my camera around to document all the 1 1/2 year old fun.

Sometimes she un-knowingly aimed for Aunt Lee and I had to run away!

Anytime we turned the hose off, this is what happened.

She LOVED it!

Oop. Pants were gone by this point. Hello, Lydia!

One of my absolute favorites. Isn’t she darling?

My mom! Kisses from Grandma after it was time to go inside.

Oh ya, I didn’t tell y’all that she’s my new second shooter? That’s what we pay big bucks for! Kidding!

Hope you had a great weekend!

Lydia’s First Birthday Party

Leeann — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:42:40 +0000

So thus past Sunday, Brad and I went to my niece’s very first birthday party! It was great to see a lot of my family that I haven’t seen in a while. We all watched the Pens game, ate pizza, and enjoyed watching Lydia play in her cake and make a mess!

A very special “THANK YOU!” to Tammy from Cakes by Tammy for the wonderful and delicious birthday cake! Tammy does many wedding cakes throughout the year, so be sure to check her out!

See! Lydia was really excited to get her personal “smash cake”!

Mickey & Minnie mouse themed party. She loved it!

Mmmm cake.

A stunner already. Hot stuff!

Grandma Williams got her a “busy book” with plenty of things to touch, twist, feel, and entertain.

Perhaps my favorite from the day. It’s like “WHOA. That’s a big gift.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LYDIA!!

Oh my goodness! I can’t believe she’s already one year old! I remember like it was yesterday. My sister-in-law, Holly, was crazy pregnant at the time, and we were all convinced it was going to be a boy.

She was born 7lbs, 9oz at Magee Women’s Hospital, and I couldn’t believe the pride on everyone’s faces as we realized there was a new little queen to the family, and I had just been booted Just kidding. We love her so much! Happy first Birthday, Lydia! Aunt Lee and Uncle Brad love you sooo much!

Hi all! Happy Monday! *le sigh*

Not sure how many of you have heard of “I Heart Faces” before, but let me tell you about the site! It’s great! Each week they hold a contest for photographers around the world to participate. It’s a great way to see what others, both busy professionals and amateurs in love with their cameras, are up to!

This week’s “I Heart Faces” competition is titled “We Are Family”. This image is my submission, and I love it! This is Amelia and her son, Chad. They’ve been through a lot, and they are absolutely the cutest family I know. Chad is such a happy little boy, and Amelia is a wonderful mother!

Lydia | My Cutiepatootie Niece

Awww! I can’t get enough of her! Especially when she giggles!

Lydia – 9 months

My niece is now 9 months old. How crazy is that! She’s just an adorable little bugger and I l-o-v-e it when I get to see her! I’m really excited about her first Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and birthday all coming up so soon! She’s gonna love her aunt spoiling her! ha! This, however, is a more quite moment. I believe here she’s actually thinking “Grandpa, why are you so weird?” (kidding, Dad)!

Pittsburgh Children's Photography

Leeann Marie Photography — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:00:13 +0000

This week I had the priviledge of working with Amelia and her son, Chad. This was one of my first kids photography sessions, besides when I take a zillion pictures of my niece. Honestly, I really wasn’t sure what to expect. I was the youngest in my family of all of the cousins, so there were never little kids around. Once my older cousins had kids, I really never saw them all that often. Needless to say, when it comes to 2-year-olds I felt pretty darn clueless. I was contacted my one of Amelia’s friends regarding the chance to photograph them, and boy, I am so glad I did!!

I think perhaps in the beginning Chad was a little curious who that strange woman in all black was (umm… poor choice in outfit selection by me that day..) After a few minutes, though, he forgot all about me taking his picture because it was time for the playground!! Yay! We hung out around the playground for a while and then headed over to Mt. Washington looking over Pittsburgh, where I was able to get some more fun pictures. Sad times when one of his cars went over the lookout, but he was ready to play after all of 20 seconds. I definitely enjoyed this shoot, and if you or someone you know is interested in some Pittsburgh kids photography, let me know! It was fun!

Thanks to his beautiful mommy, Amelia, for having me along
