This week’s theme – Playtime.
One of his favorite things to do is to “read” Toy Story on the IPad. He is constantly asking for Woody and Buzz. This week, while on vacation, he was listening to his favorite story so I had to grab the camera for a quick picture.

My hope is that your newborn portraits are a sweet memory. That is one thing that I love about having sessions on location – that you will look back in twenty years and remember your house, your backyard – where you lived during this season of your life. I love when the lighting is beautiful for portraits in the nursery because it will be redecorated in a year or so but you have the portraits to remember this sweet time. Remember these two? They love their baby sister so much and just loved hugging and kissing her during the session.
Little Ava Katherine is such a beauty and what a blessing to her family. She was so calm and content during her newborn session, and we were able to capture some beautiful pictures of this little one. We took the pictures in her grandparents’ beautiful yard. The flowers and plants were a perfect backdrop!

This week’s theme – Still Life
Taking a still life with a toddler and little puppy around is almost impossible. I love this picture because Charlie, our little maltese is in the background and the puppy toy is being pulled by Owen. The pots are still but the background is definitely not. The pots are our Mother’s Day gift for Owen’s grandmothers and great grandmothers.
I didn’t get too many pictures of this project. Painting with a toddler is pretty funny. He was covered in paint in about two seconds and so was I! I just kept laughing and then he would laugh and he just kept on painting. The pots turned out really cute, and I’m super excited to give them to the grandmothers.

This sweet family is waiting to find out if they are having a boy or a girl! Only a few more weeks left and Noah will find out if he is going to have a little brother or sister. This session was at Pullen Park, and the light was just beautiful. Noah just loved the boats and the carousel. It is such fun place, and we ended our session with a locopop from Pullen Place.

One of my goals for April was to make some fun food for Owen. He loved this ice cream grilled cheese, and I thought it was just too cute.(Find out how to make it here. See more examples of food we made here and here.)
I am really excited about May – it’s a month of celebrations. In only a week, it will be my birthday and then at the end of the month is the first anniversary of the business. I started Rebecca Keller Photography in May of 2011. It has been such a great year – I have learned so much and I have met so many great new friends. Still trying to think of a great way to celebrate the first year. I’m also working on two big projects this month – so one of my goals is to finish those projects.
Goals for May:
* Take Owen to the Museum of Life and Science
* Finish the two new projects I’m working on
* Continue to work on framing/hanging pictures in my house.
* Finish planning something for Owen’s 2nd birthday. (yes, he will be two in June)

This little one was just so sweet and precious. He was so happy and slept most of the session. What a beautiful baby and such a precious gift he is! He is surrounded by so much love and such a sweet family. Here are a few favorites from the session.
I have watched as other children snuggle and love their stuffed animals, blankets, etc. I have always thought it was so super cute and sweet. Every time I loaded up the crib with stuffed animals, Owen threw each and everyone overboard. Blankets? They were thrown overboard, too. When I went to go get him from his nap, there was always a scattered mess of blankets and stuffed animals. Before he could sleep, he needed to throw everything out.
Until last week.
One day last week, he emerged from the playroom. victorious, with bear in arm, running and screaming and giggling BEAR! Look what treasure he had found! I am sure he has walked by that bear 300 times and never thought twice about it. But for some reason, that day, this bear was going to be his best friend. From then on, he has needed to know where bear is, has snuggled bear every nap time and every night, and has not thrown bear overboard once.
Here are a few snapshots of Owen and Bear on the playground. (Yes, Bear had to go with him.)
One of his favorite books has been Find the Puppy where he has to search and find the puppy on each page. He has just loved that book so much and is usually screaming, “Oh puppy!” whenever he finds him. So this week, I had to get him Find the Teddy, too. We headed out with our new book and Bear on a little teddy bear picnic with some friends at E Carroll Joyner Park in Wake Forest.
One of my April goals is to make some fun food for Owen. These frozen yogurt dots were delicious! They took about two minutes to make and then 30 minutes to freeze! See more pictures here.
Another fun treat this week? A Locopop! We tried out Joe Van Loco on Creedmoor which is an espresso bar + locopops = awesome! The picture on the right is one of my first instagrams on my new phone!
Yesterday we got to celebrate our friend Ben‘s 2nd birthday at Pullen Park! Of course, Owen was super excited about the Choo Choo the moment we got there! He also really loves the boats!
He was still a little uncertain of the carousel but stayed on a little bit longer this time. Okay, one last shot of my little gardening buddy.

Little Claire is just beautiful and so loved. I know her big brothers are going to take such good care of her. They love her so much and wanted to kiss and hug her and show her off while I was there. Little Claire was just so content and happy during the session. Such a beautiful baby!
There are so many that I love from this session but this one is definitely a favorite.
