Harper = Nine Months

My sweet niece Harper is nine months old.  Already.  It seems like I just posted Karen's maternity session (see it here ) and now this sweet little baby girl is moving around like no one's business and can capture your heart in split second with her friendly personality, adorable cheeks and incredible smile.  I just love this baby girl and very much enjoy watching her grow at each stage.  

For Harper's nine month photos and Evan's two-year photos, we headed out to the City Museum in downtown St. Louis.  We were looking for something different than from what we had done before; something modern and urban.  And this place delivered.  A tad challenging when it came to natural light; but offered a ton of fresh perspectives in terms of backgrounds, textures and color.   I hadn't been to the City Museum in quite awhile and this place is super-cool.  

You know that you have arrived someplace cool when there is a school bus tipping off the top of the roof and a fire escape slide that connects to an actual firetruck on the roof!  

Sweet baby Harper is such a good model!  

I adore the photo below.  Potential for an all-time favorite.  I tried to get Evan to do the exact same pose, but he wouldn't go for it.  Ugh - boys!    

I love that she loves her reflection.  The City Museum offered many opportunities for the kids to learn about mirrors.  

I entitled this photo (below) - "Nobody puts baby in a corner."  Clever, eh?

Harper Belle - Thanks for being such a good model.  I love these photos - you are so cute to capture!  Karen and TJ - I hope that you enjoy the video!
