First Annual Great American Garage Sale ~ Highlights

I was honored to be a vendor at Auburn's first inaugural Great American Garage Sale last Saturday. We had such a great time!! Getting settled up here in Fort Wayne has been quite the ordeal, but we are so glad to be here and meeting such fine folks. :) I had my very own booth to promote my photography, as well as introduce all the new high-end boutique products! {I had a little too much fun making all these samples and anticipating packages arriving at my door almost every day for the last two weeks!}

Wynne's First Birthday Session

Oh my goodness, one year goes soooo fast... I've truly enjoyed documenting all twelve months of the first year of her life. It's so fun to go back and see what little changes she's made along the way. We had a sweet birthday session for her photos this time, using her party decor, special birthday outfits and a cupcake for bribing! ;) Enjoy the pics!

Akasha & Wynne: Christmas Session

a.k.a ~ Wynne's 11 Month Session

Merry {almost} Christmas! We are starting to feel a little festive around the Kroemer household and so decided to take some Christmas pics of the girls for our cards! And since it's the middle of the month already - don't flip out just because Christmas is only 12 days away - it worked out nicely to double up on this shoot as Wynne's 11 month pictures. You can just tell how much she and Akasha adore each other! Honestly, what better time to break out in a little Christmas tune...

"Sisters... sisters... Never were there such devoted sisters..." :D

Ok, I admit, Vera Ellen was my inspiration for Wynne's little furry headband.

Wynne's 10 Month {Retro} Session

This 10 month shoot almost snuck by me since my mind was on turkey. Wynne is just the right size to wear one of my dresses from when I was a baby, so I thought my mom might get a kick out of seeing it in her photos this time! Turns out, vintage is "in" and we got tons of compliments - who knew?! Plus it kind of worked out to have her in red since we are getting close to the holidays. ;) I thought her little red hairclips were a nice touch too, until I later discovered we were missing one after the fourth picture, haha! She was happy to show off her new skills of standing and waving "hi", and of course showing off all four of her teeth! Such a proud mama :)

Wynne's 9 Month Session

I'm not sure what happened - but I went overboard this month. Waaaaaaayyyyy too many pictures! Wynne is sitting up so well that I can plop her anywhere and take a picture now, which would be great if she would stay still long enough! And I just can't get enough of that crooked grin, complete with two bottom teeth! Love it!!! I set up the trusty ol' tripod again so I could have a few shots with her myself, which turned out to be quite tricky when you have a baby that fusses at that annoying beeping sound. Oh, and please note my favorite - the huge cowlick on the side of her head that she dawned after her nap! It was too adorable to fix. :) She's getting so many expressions and perfecting the technique of baby babble that I edited nearly every picture I snapped that day. I need to get a grip. Who armed me with a camera?
