This little guy had a stressful entrance to the world – the power of prayer is the only explanation for his recovery!

I was SO excited to hear from his mom that they were ready for a newborn session!

THAT ELBOW DIMPLE!!

OH MY GOODNESS!! That is one of my favorite shots!

BUT THAT ONE IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE!!

SO MUCH LOVE!!

I love how he’s looking at that big sister. How love how his big sister is smiling at him. I love how the littlest sister is closing her eyes! I love everything about it!

THOSE FACES!!

THE SQUISH!!

That contented face!

Felicia! Thank you SO MUCH for spending the afternoon with me!

Allie got her aunt’s family a GIFT CERTIFICATE – JUST BECAUSE.

Just because she wanted them to have pictures TODAY of this moment in time.

That is the BEST reason to schedule photos!!

Luckily – we were able to use the TROY SALE BARN for their photos because it was a CHILLY November day!

The little guy was NOT a fan of me!! Which seemed to be a recurring theme this fall!!

So – we let him take a break and took some photos of the girls!

He had a moment – which is the perfect moment to photograph!!

THE GUYS!!

Grandma & Grandpa will ALL their grandbabies!!

OOOOH!!! THE SQUISH!!

Nikki – I am SO happy that it worked out to grab pictures of your family!!

Allie – THANK YOU for such a thoughtful gift!!!

I met Jackie when I took their maternity photos – 2 years ago!!

We got together on a GORGEOUS November afternoon – BUT – her little girl wanted NOTHING to do with me.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!

I usually say – I WILL WIN – and I usually win!! But this girl – she was a tough one to crack!

I will STILL get the photos and they will STILL be beautiful and they will definitely capture the emotions!

REALLY REALLY not happy about this girl with the camera!!

I LOVE THOSE!!!

We thought maybe a trip to the playground would lift her spirits – make it a little better!?

She still wanted me FAR away – but I LOVE THIS SHOT SO MUCH!!

AHHH!!! THOSE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITES!!

I was a stealthy ninja – and got a couple of smiles!?

MAYBE going to Gramma’s house will help!?

I didn’t get the smiles. BUT – she did let down her guard enough that she forgot I was there!

She spilled the bird feed and picked it up.

I love the crack in the sidewalk – how she’s squatting – her little bandaged finger – the concentration!

EVERYTHING!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!!

AND MAYBE EVEN BETTER IN BLACK & WHITE!?

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHING THE MOST!!!

Everyday moments that seem insignificant – but they are what our days are made of.

Jackie & Dane – thank you SO MUCH for trying ALL the things to make your little one happy for photos!!

I hope the photos we got speak to you – even though they aren’t what you may have envisioned!!

Hopefully it goes better next time!!!

This sweet little face!!

AND THAT SWEET LITTLE FACE!!

Watching this family grow has been SUCH A JOY!!

I ADORE that series of photos! They collect those nuts with her and her grandparents and I’m SO happy we were able to capture some of those cherished moments!

The wind. The smiles. The hugs. The love. The eyelashes. FAVORITE!!!

And you KNOW I love a good silhouette!!

PERFECTION!!

They were married at this EXACT spot!!

And now they’re here with their sweet girls they prayed so hard for!

FAVORITE!!!

Jessica & Chris – I LOVED spending the evening with you guys!

I can’t WAIT to see you next year!!

I met Amber last fall! She used some of those photos to announce her pregnancy with this little guy!!

HELLO BABY GUY!!

OH MY GOODNESS!!

I ADORE THAT SHOT!!

THE SWEETEST!!

We are READY for the playground!!

THESE are my favorite photos to take of you and your family!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

PERFECTION!!

Those two shots are my FAVORITE from our session!! They’re all in the frame – but no one is looking at me.

They’re just enjoying LIFE together. It’s EXACTLY what I hope to capture and give you!!

AMBER!! I loved spending the morning with you! I can’t WAIT to see you next year!!
