Here’s another couple peeks of the cutie pie, Brady. He is sooooo yummy cute!

I am in the middle of hard-core packing up goods to take down to the LOT Music Festival. But, also backing up photos from this afternoon’s session with Brady. 9 Months old as of yesterday! He’s growing before my eyes, every time I see him. While making backups, I saw this one – actually, I saw it on the back of my camera during the shoot and couldn’t stop oogling over it.

IS HE JUST THE CUTEST? I swear, he’s one of the best kids I have ever photographed. He’s always happy and attentive to me. I think I might get to see him in Atlanta when I head down in November for One Light. This kid has to be in showbiz!

Last week, I arrived at Max’s house to see this adorable, bundle of joy! The hair, the hair! It got me. And, those eyes and smile…tugged at me. Seriously, there is nothing better than arriving to meet someone for the first time to take their photos than when you meet a little one like Max. This kid made photographing so easy.

Max turned one on Friday and it was my job to document him through my lifestyle photography. We did a few posed photos with the whole family before the real fun began. I adore taking photos of kids moving, playing, the family watching in the background. Those are the moments in life we want to remember.

So, here are a few sneaks from Max’s session that I fell in love with…can see there were a lot?

I’ll tell ya…that Canon 5D Mark II sure is awesome in low light situations! We had a lot of those and it did fantastic! And, Max…HAPPY BIRTHDAY CUTIE!

Oh, remember this cutie pie?

Brady is 6 months old now. Danielle was back in town with Brady and this time we had fun at his grandpa and grandma’s house! Brady is one of the happiest babies that I have ever met. Most people know, that for me, photographing kids is really hit or miss. They either love me or hate me. It’s a weird connection that I don’t always have. I admit it. There, you know my secret! But, with Brady, this kid, well, he just emotes adorable. Like, couldn’t you just eat him up?

That’s just a taste of his sugary sweet smile!

Well, here’s the slideshow for the 6-month photos I did last week. I’m really trying to stay on top of my game because of my travel and busy schedule this summer. This speed is soooo not normal for me! ENJOY!

So, are you done Christmas shopping? I’m not. I am doing my best to make everything, except for the things for the men because well, I just don’t do much in the way of craftiness for the fellas. I should work on that for next year.

I’ve been super busy with finalizing some ETSY orders and getting those out. ETSY isn’t get anything new till after the first of the year and you can see that I don’t have much left in there. Can’t gaurantee any shipping for Christmas either now, unless you are local and want to come by and pick something up. Just let me know. My ETSY: hollymccaig.etsy.com.

Started to go through some of the photos from this past weekend in Ohio and the first set was with a beautiful, and photogenic family. I admit, I was there for the dogs, but I can’t resist a cute kid or two – heck, even a newborn!
