Easter Mini Sessions 2012 | Family Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

I am so excited to share one of this year's many new additions to Bella Vita Photography!!

One of my Bella Vita Photography goals for 2012 was to continue to create sessions that meet the needs and desires of my clients!  After all, who wouldn't listen to such awesome clients as the ones I have!?!  One of the requests I repeated received last year was to do seasonal/holiday mini sessions.

Sometimes, mini sessions are just PERFECT!  You want to have great images of the holiday- cute outfits, sweet smiles and expressions-  document the important holidays in your family's life- however, a full family session is not always necessary!

Pssst!!  (This the the part where you jump for joy) Bella Vita Photography is now doing mini sessions for major holidays!!  :)  yay!

Lorditch Maternity | Maternity Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

I just looooove Maternity Sessions!  It is such a great time to get to know soon-to-be parents!!  Kari and Kyle were no exception, even though I did know them beforehand!

Please join me in congratulating Kari and Kyle on their soon-to-be new addition: Evan James!

Enjoy.

Check out this b-e-a-utiful momma-to-be!  :)  She is stunning!

Evan James it shall be!  I love his name- very regal!  This happens to be one of my all-time favorite images!

Kari and Kyle love to be outdoors, so what better place to have their session, then at one of our local parks they regularly take hikes in?!  :)

 Oh my goodness!  I just love this next image of Kari!  She is SO beautiful, as a first-time mom-to-be!!  :)

 I just love this next sequence of images!  Kari and Kyle are so laid back, fun and in love!  I can't wait to meet sweet little baby Lorditch! :)

Oh, field grass, how I love being able to do a session with all of this beautiful grass!!!  Dreamy, dreamy, dreamy, I tell ya! 

 I love silhouette images.  love.  love.  love them.  So much so, I try to always bring a fresh look to them!  :)

 

Kari and Kyle,  Thank you so much for allowing me to document such a beautiful time in your lives!  Kari, you are a beautiful mom-to-be!  I cannot wait to meet little Evan James when he arrives. :)

Be Blessed.

Ella {1 Year Old} Cake Smash | Children Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

Cake smashes.  Oh, where to start??  These are SOOOOO much fun!  I have decided that a cake smash, MIGHT be one of my favorite sessions- EVER!   With a cake smash, you get the best of both worlds: 1. sweet little images of your baby at an awesome age- 12 month, O-N-E YEAR Old and 2. images of your sweet baby having a BLAST in his/her very own cake!!  :)  Oh, yeah, it is THAT great, what is NOT to love about it?!

Meet Ella!  Ella turned the big O-N-E a couple weeks before her session, and I had a blast traveling to her home, setting up shop and hanging out with this sweet little girl!

Here are some images from Ella's big girl session and make sure you stick around to the end- for the cake!  :)

This little chair has such a sweet story!!  Ella's grandparents bought her this for her first birthday.  Apparently, they buy one for each of their grandchildren on their 1st birthdays.  How stinkin' cute is that?!  What a great memory to have, and how special that we were able to document this during Ella's session!

P.S. love this next little image of Ella and the Pug!  :)  She loved that little Pug stuffed animal, and she knows the direct way to her photographer's heart!  I have two Pugs of my own, and I just adore anyone that loves them as much as I do!  Ella was no exception- she and the Pug were inseparable!

Ella also played in a basket for a while!

 Everyone needs a little basket fiber in their diet, right?  ;)  I thought this was a funny little image, but, upon closer inspection, you can see how STUNNING Ella's eyelashes are!  :)  Lookout Mom and Dad, she is going to be a b-e-a-utiful little lady!

Ella's second set of grandparents make fabulous wood creations, so we incorporated the number one, and letters that spelled out "O-N-E" for Ella's session.

Every cake smash session ends with, you guessed it, a CAKE SMASH!  I am so glad you hung around to see the end of this fabulous session! :)

Here is the first touch!!!  :)  Not quite sure if she wants to or not...

 I do believe this cake tastes pretty darn good!!  :)

 Really starting to get into the cake!!

 I looooove this little laughing face!

 The aftermath:  sweet, cake covered baby girl Ella!

 I hope you have enjoyed Miss Ella's cake smash!!

Jillian {Month 3} Baby's First Year | Infant Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

I cannot believe this little darling is already 3 months old!!  It seems like just yesterday I was shooting her newborn session!

Now that Jillian is 3 months old, she has decided that it was time to spunk up!  :)  Lots of smiles, cheers, and coos going all around in this session!

One of her new talents is holding herself up really well, while on her tummy!  Here are some images of her new talent!

This next little set of images is so much fun!  I love being able to incorporate a family's love for a sports team!  Jillian's dad is a hockey player and both he and his lovely wife LOVE the Penguins.  I am pretty sure that Jillian will gladly be following in their footsteps.

Of course, a January session isn't complete without a little Valentine's Day fun, so here an image from Jillian's Valentine's Day outfit! :)

Kolton {Month 5} Baby's First Year | Infant Photographer Harrisburg, Pa

 I cannot get over how much Kolton has grown in his first 5 months of life!!  The past two months we have been blessed with BEAUTIFUL weather on Kolton's session day, so we have been able to go outside for part of his session!  For those of you that are used to the Pennsylvania winters, you know this is a huge blessing, as many of the days in December and January are just WAY too cold for a little baby to go outside!

This session is the start of introducing Kolton's new monthly talents.  He has reached the age where he is growing leaps and bounds as well as introducing new talents.  So, this month's new talent was eating rice cereal!  He does a GREAT job at it, and of course (my favorite) makes great faces in the process! :)

I hope you enjoy his first of many talents that I am blessed to capture!  :)

 And now for the best part:  Dinner!!
