Sweet Ava...

Oh my gosh... I think this little girl was meant to be in front of a camera! She photographs so well! Of course I went nuts with her and made myself proof about a million images, but what was I to do... I couldn't get enough of her! One of these days I will learn to control myself... maybe! Ava was one of the first newborns I ever photographed and now she is back for her 1st birthday pictures! I have learned so much in a year and it is so cool to be able to see how much these little ones change and grow! Here are just a few of my favorite shots of sweet Ava... ENJOY!

Here she is 1 year ago...

Here she is now...

Ava was such a good baby that I thought I would experiment on her and do some natural light shots. I am such a fan of natural light and I am hoping to do more of this style in the future, I really LOVE these pictures! Her eyes really are that blue... no Photoshoping, I promise! ;)

I had to post this last picture because for you that know my husband, he really doesn't get into the photography thing AT ALL, but for some reason he liked this picture! yay! I think this is the first picture he has ever commented on so I thought it was worth posting! ;)

Happy 1st Birthday Ava!!! You are soooo stinkin CUTE... a photographers DREAM! ;) Thanks Adam and Chrissy for coming to see me! As always, it was nice visiting with you.

Welcome Madison Jo...

Miss Madison Jo was 17 days old when I photographed her. Usually I like to photograph newborns before they are 10 days old because they are so much easier, but that was not the case with Madison... she was a dream baby! :) It took some time to get her settled down but once we got her to sleep she was AMAZING! Here are just a few of my favorite shots of Madison... ENJOY! ;)

I am such a sucker for chubby cheeks... **(sigh)** I was in LOVE! ;)

Many of you might be wondering who's tiny feet are in this last picture... I will explain. On December 30, 2007 at just 18 days old Madison's big sister Aaliyah Grace passed away from what Doctors believe was SIDS. SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is the number one cause of death in infants ages 1 month to 1 year. Friday, April 24th is SIDS awareness day and I think it would be awesome if all of my blog stalkers would make a donation today in honor of Aaliyah Grace Kind. If you are interested in making a donation, please visit www.springforsids.org... it literally takes 1 minute and $1! It's very simple... I did it so I am pretty sure anyone can figure it out! ;) If anyone has any questions please email me at tandi@tandikeenphotography.com

Thanks Calvin and Lindsey for allowing me to photograph your beautiful Madison! She is such a blessing. Madison is a lucky little girl to have an angel watching over her. :)

Welcome Adysen...

It has been a few weeks since I have photographed a newborn so needless to say I was CRAVING one! I was very excited to get my hands on little Adysen. It took a little bit of time to get all of the shots we wanted but in the end it was worth every minute! Adysen is such pretty baby... perfect head, skin, lips...everything! Here she is at just one week old... ENJOY! :)

How cute is her little smile... **(sigh)** !!!!! ;) I didn't even realize I caught her smiling until I was proofing... I love when that happens! ;)

As you can see this little girl is very lucky to have three siblings that LOVE her! Brett, Peyton, and Alyssa were so good with her... I wish I had that much help around here! ;)

Thanks Jeff and Vicki for allowing me to capture this special time in your lives. You have a gorgeous family and I really enjoyed getting to know all of you! Enjoy your time with little Adysen because as you know she will grow up too fast! ;)

HAPPY EASTER!

Just wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY EASTER!



Have a great weekend! Thanks for looking!

Dylan...

"My" little man Dylan came to see me last week for his 6 month pictures. It still amazes me that he is 6 months old already! It seems like I just shot his newborn photos, but as we all know time flies. I knew I would have a good time photographing Mr. Dylan because I just saw him a few weeks ago for his chick pictures and I fell in love with him. He is sooooooo CUTE and SmiLeY! :) Here are a few of my favorite shots of the little man... ENJOY! :)

I was so excited to be able to do an outside shot again... I am looking so forward to nice weather!

My favorite of the day.... I LOVE THIS PICTURE! Maybe it's because I had to work so hard to get it! ;)

Thanks guys (especially Jay) for putting up with my crazy ideas! I had so much fun photographing your family... I can't wait to see all of you again!
