My college friend, Aimee, sent me a message last night and said she had something that she HAD to show me! I was thinking it was going to be a photo of something really ridiculous that she saw or something, but what she showed me was by far WAY better that that!

Aimee has a little boy named Carson who I have photographed a couple times over the last three years as I was in school with his mom. Last night Aimee said Carson was playing with two wooden blocks and acting like it was his camera, and he was “taking pictures” of his little brother… but this is where is gets good- Carson took his “camera” and showed his mom and said - “Look at my picture of Kaiden mommy. I’m a photo taker and my name is Adam!”

That made my night, and still makes me smile today! Here is a photo of the little guy in action! I’d say his mommy better watch out, he has some pretty high tech equipment and has some good photographer form!

I have been back from California for a couple weeks already. I miss the sun, warm weather, and the ocean, but it is good to be back home too! I finally got around to editing some of the photos I took while I was there. It was fun to shoot just for me and to be able to be a little creative and try some new things. Here are just a few of the photos I took. Enjoy!

And of course, one of Amanda too!

What can I say, this little girl still manages to amuse me with her huge personality and infectious smile! I can’t believe what a big girl she is already and how smart she is for her age! The number one thing I love about this girl is how she says my name! Ever since she started talking, I have been called Elmo. Maybe it’s the strawberry blonde hair of mine that is causing the confusion, but to her I am Elmo, and I hope that I remain Elmo for a very long time! It makes me laugh every time!

I did this little photo session the same night as Evan’s newborn photos. Aydree was being such a good sister that night, and I couldn’t leave without getting a few photos of her too! She has a thing with going through her closet and doing a little fashion show of her clothes. She won’t put them on, but she will hold them up to her and ask, “isn’t this tute?” Yes the clothes are “tute”, Aydree, but so are you!  After picking one of the ‘tuteset” outfits of them all from her closet, Aydree and I went for a little walk around the yard and did a few photos of her! I enjoyed my little session with her! Each time I visit Aydree it seems and though she grows up even more… These photos will hopefully hold time still for awhile and keep her in my mind as the little girl that I seem to think she should be!

I am very excited to be a new uncle, and I finally finished working on little Evan’s newborn photos. This little guy is now a whole month old already, and I can’t believe it! He has grown so much over the last few weeks compared to these photos. I am so glad I photographed him when he was so little. Before I know it he will be running circles around me! Let’s hope that time doesn’t fly by as fast as it did with my other niece and nephew. I know it will, but I can only hope!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from my night with Evan!

Evan John Wegleitner was born Tuesday, August 25th at 12:39 am. He weighed 6lbs 12oz! Below are a few photos that I took of him and his new family at the hospital. I can’t wait for his actual newborn session! Enjoy the photos!

Meet Evan!

Thank you for visiting the AHP blog! You will be seeing more of this little guy as he grows his first year!
