{Miss Leia} Little Pals Photography – Sterling IL Photographer

Today I had the pleasure of babysitting for Miss Leia who is my great niece. And of course since I had her I took advantage and brought her into the studio for a few pics.

She was so good. Not the typical 15 month old at all. She sat still! Not often does that happen. I didn’t push my luck by switching up backgrounds and props. It was purely for fun!

Here are a handful of the shots I took.

While I am taking pics my 3 year old was sitting at my side with her brand new kid tough camera taking pics as well. It is so cute to watch her taking a pic and yelling “gotcha ya” Of course most of her shot are missing heads……lol

Love her pouty lip in this shot!

And one last one of my princess kissing Leia on the head…… of course she is wearing her wings from her new dress up set! lol

{Halloween 2009} Little Pals Photography – Sterling IL Photographer

Yesterday was one crazy day. I think all of Sterling and some of all the other surrounding towns made there way to our neighborhood for trick or treating.

I know last year we counted approx 500 trick or treaters. This year had to be way more. We ran out of candy with more than an hour left of trick or treat time. I think next year I better start buying a bag or 2 of candy each week in September!

My little one had a great time walking to a few of our neighbors houses then we headed back home to relieve big sis from candy duty so she could go to work. Huddled under blankets on our front step we passed out at least 400 pieces of candy before heading indoors for warmth.

Here are a few pics from in the studio prior to trick or treating of my youngest. I know next year I wont get away with picking out her costume for her as she already this year wanted to be something different than she was but wore this costume with the promise that next year she gets to pick! They grow up way to fast.
