Beautiful Miss M

My, oh, my.  It has been a LONG time since I have blogged!  I will be working on this for the next couple weeks, and hopefully, I'll be all caught up by Christmas.  Ha!

To kick of the summer, I was fortunate enough to be asked to photograph the sweet Miss M again.  Her and her family live down the street from me, and I love photographing them!

We once again worked in their backyard, which is nothing short of magical.  The light and the river and nature make it a photographer's dream!

Enjoy!

Mr. B - 1 Year Old Session | Sara Bonacci Photographer - Children

Who doesn't love cake?  This cutie came to visit me to celebrate his first birthday with a cake smash.  His big brother came along, too, so I was able to get a few of him as well!  I absolutely love photographing kids - especially on their birthdays.

Sweet Miss E is 2!

Miss E was my VERY FIRST photo session!  I did her newborn photos, for free, and was a nervous wreck.  I proudly posted them on Facebook and whispered to myself, "I'm a photographer!"  I look at those now and think, "Whoa, I was a beginner!"  My photography style has grown, just like Miss E, who celebrated her second birthday recently.  I have loved watching her grow up into the spunky little girl she is becoming.  And those eyes!  As you know, I'm a sucker for blue eyes!

 

Mom wanted to me to grab some of Miss E's siblings (who I also adore - Mr. C is my godson!)

 

The S Family

I've known the S family for four years.  They are a very care-free family who have a profound love for one another.  I'm so excited for them as they start a new grand adventure together - moving to China!  In fact, they are on a plane to China to house hunt as I type this!  I'm sure that they will love their new life, although they will be greatly missed here in mid-Michigan!

 

Good luck in your next chapter, S family!

Mr J | Two Year Old Session

I have been so fortunate enough to photograph this cutie pie and his family a few times.  There is something about that adorable little smile and big eyes.  Watch out, Mom and Dad - he's going to be a heartbreaker!

Mr J is very into trains right now, and it was important to his mom that I capture that.  I love photographing kids playing with their toys.  :)

Happy 2nd birthday, Mr J!  I can't wait to photograph you again!

Mr. D | One Year Old

I have been lucky enough to photograph this little man every month of his first year.  It has been amazing watching him grow through my camera.  :)  I'm going to miss seeing him every month, so these one year photos were a little bitter sweet for me.

Happy birthday, sweet D man!

March: What to Wear Ideas

I can feel it...SPRING IS COMING!!  I'm sure those of you in Michigan are ready for the snow to finally be gone and the flowers to bloom.  I get a little lost in January through March because it seems that my business slows down.  I should enjoy it, but instead I plan for the rest of the year because I know once spring here, business goes crazy!  I love it!

But back to the purpose of today's blog.  Here are a few samples of what to wear for those spring sessions.  Florals for women and girls are very popular, along with a pair of cute boots!  If there is a little chill in the air, add a denim shirt.  So adorable!

 
You can also do solids and add a pop of color and pattern in the kids clothes (and notice mom's shoes match the boy's shirt).  Little details like that tie in the outfits together.  I love this as well.  :)

Have fun styling and dressing your family as you plan your spring photo sessions!  

Hugs!
