It's amazing what eight months will do...

I am always blown away when I see how much babies change in just the first year of their life!  Here's a couple side-by-sides (or a top-to-bottoms, whichever way you look at it) of my cutie nephew Zach...he's getting so big and has such a great personality!  The top was from his newborn shoot and the bottom is from his 8 month shoot.  Can you believe it's the same baby!?

This baby girl has the sweetest little face!  Just last weekend, I had the pleasure of taking some newborn pictures of our friends' baby, little Sophia.  Her name is just as adorable as she is!  We were lucky enough to have some real life sunlight here in Dayton, Ohio which is not all that common so it was a good day.  Sophia's nursery has some awesome jungle animals that her dad hand painted on the walls for her...my favorite was the monkey.  :)  Here's just a sneak peek of some of the photos I took...Thanks Aaron and Meghan!

~Zachary Matthew~

Ahhh...babies!  Gotta love them!  This past summer, I was blessed to become an aunt!  I was lucky enough to still be living in California when Zach was born and was able to take these pictures when he was only 12 days old!  He just melts my heart!  Looking at these six months after the fact is so strange because he's a totally different baby now.  They just grow up too fast!

A little background on the monkey...my Grandma and Grandpa on my Dad's side gave my sister and I each a monkey when we were little.  Rickie's monkey is next to Zach in this pic.  Love it!

Here's a little sneak peak of the shoot...
