YES...he really is that cute!!

You all might remember Karsten from his newborn session I posted back in July! You also might remember that I didn't post one very adorable yet very special picture because I didn't want to ruin the surprise for those who were receiving his birth announcement in the mail. Well, I wanted to start this post by posting that all too adorable picture and reminding you of just how cute Karsten was when he was only a few days old!

Well, a lot has changed for both Karsten and his parents over the past three months as they learn all about the joys of parenthood, but one thing is for sure...Karsten is still THAT CUTE!! Actually, I don't think he could be any cuter! Last weekend I had the honor of taking Karsten's three month pictures, and we had so much fun! It was a chilly day, but the lighting was perfect because there was a nice light overcast across the whole sky! We were excited to head to the park for some family and individual shots, but the wind picked up and it was just too chilly for a little guy, plus he was getting pretty sleepy! We did manage to get a few cute shots before we left the park, and these are two of them:

As we walked back to the car Karsten fell asleep on his daddy and he continued to sleep after we got back to the house. Lisa's Mom had brought over some "props" for us to get some cute fall pictures of Karsten, and they worked out perfectly to use while he was sleeping!


OMG...look at this smile while he was sleeping...so precious!

A close up of his beautiful eyelashes!
After a quick rest and a bottle, Karsten was bright eyed and ready to go!! Check out his baby blues! They are amazing!
I have a hard time turning any of his pictures black and white because of his beautiful blue eyes, but they are still beautiful even in black and white! That smile and dimple aren't too bad either!

Grandma came over to help get Karsten to smile in the family pictures, but I couldn't resist getting a cute picture of the two of them together! I think these two will be making quite a few special memories together in the future because they already have a very special bond!
Then we headed back outside for some family pictures and it went much better the second time around!



We got some fun Mommy/Son, Daddy/Son shots too!


Then back in to warm up and get some truly Karsten shots!! Grandma got this smile out of him right before she left! So cute!
And this is one of my favs...both in color and black and white!
Now, Karsten has more quits that have been handmade for him than any baby I know, so we had to get his picture on a few of them! This is the quilt that matches his room...and boy does it look good with his blue eyes!
And this is his Christmas quilt!
We couldn't resist an awake shot with the adorable hat his 'Aunt' Jenn got him!
These last few I actually took the next day because Karsten was getting tired and we wanted him to be fresh and 'strong' for his tummy time shots! It takes a lot out of you to push up at three months old, but he couldn't be any cuter!

Finally, we wanted to get some very special shots of Karsten with Lisa's Mustang! My thought was for him to push up on the hood, but he was too distracted by the shiny red paint, so we moved him inside the car and this one turned out pretty cute! I am sure we will be doing more Mustang shots as he gets older!
Lisa's Gaga gave her this Mustang years ago, so Lisa wanted some special pictures of her and her boy in the 'Stang to give to Gaga! Gaga even put the ladybug sticker under the window because Lisa loves ladybugs! I can't decide which picture I like better!

Lisa and Scott, thank you so much for asking me to take Karsten's three month pictures! I feel truly honored to be not only your friend but also your photographer!

Until next time,
XOXO
