{ Mommy Playdate Calling Cards }

If you have not see these yet, they are sooo GREAT! What could be better than pictures of your kids, on a calling card that you can give to new mommies you meet at the park or playgroups?

These cards are also great for parents of school age kids. You can give a card to the parents of all your children's friends! These cards are the size of a business card and fit perfectly in your purse or diaper bag.

Both practical and fun, what a chic new way to show off your kids and stay in touch. Below are two of the six designs I offer. Cards are customized with your favorite pictures, information, and choice of colors. Prices for the Mommy Cards are $45 for a set of 50 cards.

{ Introducing...Baby "B" }

Baby "B" was first featured on this blog when he was still in mommy's tummy. You can find that post under the heading {The Awaiting}. He was such a fun little baby, and with big brother jumping around everywhere, he always had something to look at. Daddy found this great blanket, and he looked so warm and cozy all curled up in it.

{ One of My First Clients }

Mr. "B" and Little Miss "K" were one of my very first photo sessions, and look at them now! I feel very lucky to have watched them grow up each year, and have really become great friends with their parents.

Mom had scheduled this photo session last fall, and boy did she pick the right day! We met at the Capital mid-morning, the sun was shining and the warm weather felt so good. The kids were so happy to be outside. They were great models, and we had a lot of fun.

{ Baby "C" }

Baby "C" is now 3 months old. I had the pleasure of taking her newborn pictures, and I am so excited that I will get to watch her grow up this first year! Its amazing how much they change from birth to their first birthday. Baby "C" was a little shy for this photo session, but we managed to get a few little smirks here and there, and a lot of bubbles :)

{ Happy Easter }

From Crocodile Smiles Photography and my family to yours...I would like to wish all you a wonderful Easter, Spring, and here's to warmer weather!

For those of you who have not yet met me or my family...these are my two babies with the Easter Bunny, Jameson is almost 3 now, and Olive is 5 months. Where does the time go?

{ Introducing...Baby "H" }

Baby "H" was so cute! He was the perfect baby...he ate, and slept. Sleeping pictures are the best. And the little lamb he was laying on was too precious, as Baby "H" and the lamb had the same eyes. Congrats Mom, Dad & Big Brother "H", enjoy your little bundle!

{ Portrait Parties }

Portrait Parties are an exciting opportunity for you and your friends to have professional portraits made in a fun and affordable way. Portrait Parties can take place just about anywhere, from your home with photos taken outdoors, to a local park, the Zoo, etc. The host invites between 8 and 12 families to the party and for the hosts hard work enjoys credits toward portraits for hosting. It is a low stress, fun opportunity, to have beautiful portraits made of yourself or your children in a low pressure, relaxed atmosphere.

*SPECIAL*
Themed Portrait Parties are also becoming very popular. From "Princess Parties" for little girls, to Tea Parties with Mommy/Playgroups, the possibilites are endless. This summer I am offering Portrait Parties during the week! This is perfect for Stay-At-Home moms, or teacher moms who have the summers off.

To learn more about Portrait Parties, check out the website or give me a call. I only schedule 2-3 Parties a month, so schedule early to get your perfect spot. Currently, May & June are full, but spots still remain for July, August & September.

{The Awaiting...}

Awaiting pictures are up there as one of my favorite images to shoot! I love the expression of the mother as she touches her belly and the baby suddenly kicks, or her expression when I ask if she minds sitting on the floor, and she laughs and says it's not the sitting on the floor, but the getting back up again. And I absolutley LOVE the way an older sibling reacts to the belly. Some have not interest in their mothers belly whatsover, and some can't get enough of it.

Big Brother "C" was more interested in running around and playing than he was in his mother's belly, but he soon warmed up and all the silliness you would expect from a toddler shown through. I can't wait to meet the little one and capture big brother and baby!

{Sneak Peak of Baby "H"}

Here is a sneak peak of Baby "H", who I spent some time with this past weekend. She was wide awake in the beginning, but after a bottle and some rocking with Daddy, she soon fell asleep and we were able to move her around into cute little poses. Enjoy these pictures 'Mom & Dad'. I can't wait for you to see the rest!
