Isn’t she such a little pumpkin!!

SO SWEET!!

You might remember this momma from a recent blog featuring her wedding!

Joy – it’s so exciting watching you with your little dream! You are such a great momma!

WAITING ON BABY

Lauren and Dan have been in front my camera for 5 years! It’s such an honor to stay with families while they grow!

COUSINS!

For their first two children – they decided to wait till the babies were born to find out what they were having!

This time though – they decided to find out ahead of time! They said they prefer the waiting!

Isn’t she just GORGEOUS!

I happen to think that pregnancy is absolutely BEAUTIFUL – but Lauren is exceptionally BEAUTIFUL throughout her pregnancies!

Stay tuned for their newborn session!

Growing up – my sister and I shared a room – and I’m so thankful that we did! Don’t get me wrong – we had our times (when I say we – I mostly mean me) when we didn’t get along. Or when I went after the guy she liked. Or when I just spoke for her – pretty much her whole life. Notice the pattern here …

Thankfully she loves me and is one of my best friends!

And our little guys love each other SO much! I can’t imagine life without her!

I’m so thankful that I can give them wonderful memories!

LOOK AT HIS LITTLE FACE!

OH MY WORD! That black & white shot – THE BEST!

And those – MY FAVORITE!

Samm & X – I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH! AND JACKIE BOY TOO!

Heather and Ben have been getting their yearly pictures with me for about 5 years! I think!

Normally – they come to my house and we do them in my backyard – which works out perfect for everyone!

This year – they suggested a different spot – and it was even MORE perfect!

Dear Fall – I LOVE YOU! That is all!

PERFECT!!!!

Look at her little hand grasping his! THESE moments are why I LOVE lifestyle sessions!

Sometimes I forget that we live in a such a BEAUTIFUL part of the country!

OH MY WORD!

She is SO sweet!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for suggesting such an amazing spot! This is my ABSOLUTE favorite session we’ve ever done together!

Several years ago – my friend Ariel told me about her friend Sierra – they were young mothers together and Sierra was expecting her 3rd baby – a 3rd boy! That little boy was born in August and my little E was born in November. And now Sierra isn’t just the friend of a friend – she’s become one of my dearest friends!

And she has a 4th baby – their first girl!

There’s that 3rd little baby – he’s not so little anymore!

OH MY WORD! Isn’t she PRECIOUS!

You might recognize Sierra from previous sessions! I took a few maternity shots for her and then had the absolute honor of being at this little darling’s birth! And her sweet newborn session!

THAT LOVELY LIGHT!

Oldest and youngest. A special bond!

Sierra – I am so thankful that you are in my life! I often forget that you are so much younger than me! You are certainly wise beyond your years!

I had been talking with Deanne for quite a WHILE about booking a family session – and when we finally got everyone on the same schedule – it started to rain!

WHAT! UGH!

FUNFACT – I rarely pay attention to the weather because it stresses me out – but we decided to keep the session and hope the sprinkles stayed just that – SPRINKLES!

I think we made the right decision!

OH MY HEART! SISTERS!

GRANDPARENTS – NOTHING ELSE ON EARTH LIKE GRANDPARENTS!

That image on the right – as a momma of boys – melts my heart!

These are my FAVORITE shots – the ones that just HAPPEN!

Deanne – thank you so much for asking me to photograph your sweet family! I hope we can get together again!

I’ve been taking pictures of this sweet family for the last four years I think!

I couldn’t WAIT until this session – they are SO fun and photogenic!

OH MY HEART! These first four pictures made me so happy! THIS IS EXACTLY what I have been wanting to capture!

LIFE. IN. MOTION.

Fitzy goes to Kindergarten with that sweet soul!

These girlies are sometimes slow to warm up to me – but these shots – jut letting them BE – made the biggest difference!

ADORABLE!

SO PRECIOUS! She will probably be in class with Enoch!

THOSE LITTLE PIGGIES!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for having me capture your growing family year after year! I look forward to it every year!

CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER!

CELEBRATING ONE YEAR

People often say – OH – I wish I could have you take pictures – but it’s a big expense.

I will agree with you – it is a big expense! And one that you will NOT regret!

ESPECIALLY when it comes to birthday parties! When you have a baby (or in this case – TWO) – most likely – you DREAM about their first birthday party! And chances are – that you are so focused on every little perfect detail and capturing their faces – that you miss out on really truly enjoying the event!

Here’s where I come in – ask me to come capture their birthday party. You can relax. Sit back. Instead of being on the other side (behind the camera) you can actually enjoy WITH THEM. And – AND BE IN THE PICTURES!

I was so excited when Andrea asked me to take pictures of their little guys turning ONE! Almost a year ago NOW!

ADORABLE!

I just LOVE those shots!

OH BOY!

You probably know by now – I LOVE CHUBBY BABIES! LOOK AT HIS CHEEKS!

Andrea & Kyle – thank you SO much for asking me to come capture their birthday! It was great knowing that you could just sit back and relax and enjoy the day and those sweet boys!

I can’t WAIT to see you all again!
