Category: Baby's First Year
I can't believe how quickly time has flown by. Kapri is already 9 months old!! It seems like just yesterday that I was just meeting Brad & Lauren for their maternity photos!! I get so excited when I get to see this family again. They are so much fun, Kapri is just adorable, and sweet, and I love catching up with Lauren and Brad! Brad we missed you this time, but I hope you guys got LOTS of deer and didn't freeze too much on your hunt! :) Enjoy your teaser; the rest of the photos will be ready shortly!
This little bear is SO cute! Lauren told me that it was a gift for Brad this Christmas; it was made from his grandmothers mink coat that she wore often. I was so excited to take some photos of Kapri with it for Brad!
Kapri can now hold on to furniture and stand. She was SO PROUD of herself showing off her new tricks to me!!
We take a few photos each time we get together to show how much she's grown. This one is always one of my favorites to take!
Look at Kapri go with the Crawling!
Lauren, you look fabulous rockin' the dark hair, I LOVE it!!
After all that playing, Kapri was done, and ready for a nap.

Chris and I have been working and planning for an exciting workshop!! It's a workshop for YOU! This is not for professional photographers, but for moms & dads and those that love to capture life as it happens. Those that want to know how to control their cameras so that their photos look like what they had envisioned in their head, when they clicked the shutter! Over the last several months we have had more and more people calling, emailing, facebooking, and twittering us with questions about their new cameras. These questions have come from Moms & Dads who bought a Digital SLR, in the hopes of recording those spontaneous moments in their lives beautifully. (An SLR is one of those big fancy cameras, that you can change the lenses on; for those that don't know what that term means). We can't be at your home 24/7, photographing you and your family, and many of those special moments happen without warning, first steps, dad falling asleep with the kids reading bedtime stories, etc. We will still be here to photograph your family photos, and edit them and print them professionally. Because let's face it, you still need photos with all of you together. The kids need photos with you in FRONT of the camera instead of behind it! ;) This workshop is for those moments between photo sessions, those moments that are unplanned, but just as special! As many of you know, I began my journey down the road to becoming a Sacramento portrait photographer as nothing more than a mom with a camera, wanting to make my day to day photos of my kids look as beautiful and awesome as I could. I wanted those special moments to be recorded as they happen, in the spontaneous moments of life, just as beautifully as I remembered them. I taught myself through reading every book/manual/online forum I could get my hands on. It was a constant process of trial and error. I would look at magazines and books and try and figure out how those photos were achieved. I would try out what I thought would give my photo that look, use a whole roll of film and wait for it to come back from being developed and see if what I tried was successful. (remember the old days of waiting!?!?!) My passion in professional photography has always been to provide other's that same gift. Photos that convey that passion, moment, spontaneous laugh or tear as they happen. Photos that serve as a visual memory of our lives. And that is why we are going to be offering this workshop! We want to help all of our friends, and clients who want to capture life through photos, between their photo sessions. We are planning for the first workshop to be on a Saturday in January. If you are interested in more information about the workshop,please send us an email at the address below. We will have more information on the workshop rolling out in the next few weeks and want those of you interested, to be the firtst to know!! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. You can email us at workshops@jenstewartphotography.com

I just love going and visiting Kapri and her family! She is growing so quickly, and every time I see her, I just want to snuggle her the whole time! This visit was no different. I was amazed to see how much she is cooing and "chattering" in her own little baby language. And how full of personality she is. She is such a happy baby, it was a true joy to spend a few hours with her and her family watching them hang out together, and recording all of it for them to look back on for years to come! Brad & Lauren, I hope you enjoyedy your trip, enjoy your photos! One of my favorite things to do with my "Watch Me Grow" collections, is to take a photo each time I visit showing the growth during the first year!
I LOVE this stage where they are cooing and talking up a storm. Kapri was talking to me most of the time. And her little tongue was cracking me up, she was sticking it out constantly! :)
Daddy has been working with her on getting ready for crawling, I love how involved her parents are and how much fun her whole family has together!
Sometimes it takes a team effort to get a baby dressed! :)
LOOOOOOOVE Kapri's Halloween costume!!
Kapri's little hair is just too cute!

I can't say enough how much I LOVE my "Watch Me Grow", Baby's 1st year collections!!! I just love getting to come back several time through the year and seeing the same family I love and watching the baby's I grow so attached to grow up!! So that being said, I have been anxiously awaiting this next session with Kapri and her parents! I can't believe how much she's grown since her newborn session just a few months ago!!! Brad & Lauren, thank you again for welcoming me into your home. I so look forward to seeing you guys, and enjoyed visiting with you as Kapri went down for her nap! The love that surrounds your family makes me smile, and warms my heart, every time I look at your photos and am with you! Can't wait to see you guys again in a few months!! And now on to sharing the photos!! :) From the moment I walked in the door I was greeted with smiles and babbling from Kapri...... well that's not entirely true, Kapri only has eyes for her Daddy! :)
Remember this photo from last session??
I TOLD you she's grown!! :)
OH YEA, BATH TIME, nothing beats it!!
Well..... maybe chubby baby belly buttons! ;-)
But I know for a fact that snuggling a freshly bathed baby is the best feeling in the world!
Love that Daddy gave her a 'hawk!
Oh yeah, tummy time, that love hate relationship that all baby's have with it until they are able to crawl! haha
I love how Daddy's play completely differently with their babies than Mommy's do!
Nap time.... who can resist this sleeping angel???? I know one thing for sure, I sure can't!!! :)
