Jared grew up with this sweet family! Zach and his wife Layne live in Florida and surprised Mindy with a family photo session while they were visiting!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!

That little guy – he and Fitzy are two months apart in age! He was such a SMILER!

I loved spending the afternoon with your guys! I hope you LOVED your pictures!

It was so great to see you Zach & Layne!

You’ve seen Missy & Cody on the blog before – she’s one of my BEST friends – and I love taking their pictures!

Missy brought her mom and dad along for their early morning session this year!

That’s her first-born. By the time I blog this – he will be SEVENTEEN! WHAT!!!

So – let me tell you – I know this little guy. I know him well. But he did NOT want that sweater on. And it threw him. HARD. You’ll see his smile at the end of the session – but I assure you – we worked for it!

And those little hugs – made for GREAT pictures! He turned five a few weeks after our session – and the times of holding him like this are almost gone!

A WORM!

Scroll back up – look at that GORGEOUS best friend of mine!

The men in Missy’s life!

Her boys!

Isn’t he such a handsome little guy!

THAT is the little guy I know and love!

OH MY WORD! This next series of pictures! MY FAVORITE!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

MISSY – I know it doesn’t NEED to be said – but I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

Paul & Jennifer were patiently – well not really SO patiently – waiting for their sweet little baby to make his appearance right after the New Year!

Stay tuned for their newborn session!!

Heather & Melvin typically come see me during mini-session season – but she suggested to have a full session – and maybe her kids would warm-up to me a little better!

ADORABLE!

It didn’t take too long for them to warm-up to me this time! We met on a pretty chilly morning – but they were troopers!

Isn’t she such a sweet thing!

Thank you so much for spending the morning with me! I can’t wait to see you THIS year – with a new baby in your arms!

I met Brittany when she was a bridesmaid in her friend’s wedding – the day after I found out I was pregnant with Fitzy in 2010! ALMOST 7 YEARS AGO! It doesn’t even seem possible! She’s since been married and has the CUTEST little girl!

They added another little sweetie to their family in October – and she asked me to come take newborn pictures!

Her husband was a year ahead of me in high school and I was in his brother Ryan’s class. My sister was in his sister Megan’s class! In fact – almost every time I contact Brittany I always type Megan first! And let me tell you – the *M* genes are STRONG!

Brittany is a mom-blogger – check out her website – Backroads and Binkies!

She’s also a LuLaRoe consultant!

DARLING!

OH MY HEART!

OH MY GOODNESS! Look at how her tiny little head fits right in her momma’s hands!

STRETCH!!

Those two might be my FAVORITES!

LOOK AT THAT SWEET FACE!

THOSE SHOTS! OH MY WORD!

I love lifestyle photography – SO MUCH!

SISTERS!

SO SWEET!

And then – just like that – she drifted off to sleep!

Those last shots – moments you forget about all too quickly when they’re grown – so special!

Brittany – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to give you memories of this tired and beautiful time in your life!

I can’t wait to see you NEXT MONTH already!

Every year I take pictures for Viky and her family!

Viky – thank you for having me in your home again this year – and we say it EVERY TIME – but we need to get together outside of these yearly photo sessions!

Lately my newborns have become family sessions – WONDERFUL!

Amanda saw the photographs I’ve taken for her friends over the years and scheduled a session for her family of four!

I LOVE those two shots!

OH MY WORD!

Isn’t he SO SWEET!

OH MY WORD! SHE IS SO DARLING!

Mothers and daughters. MELT MY HEART!

You know what I LOVE about newborn sessions. Sitting in a nursery – while a momma feeds her baby. And talking about the really really hard moments. And the really really lovely moments. And all the things in between.

And all too soon – because this sweet baby is close to 9 months old now – you forget how tiny they were. How they fit right in the crook under your neck.

Amanda – thank you so much for opening up your home and your heart to me!

Little *J* is now OVER 6 months old – but the GOOD thing about being behind on blogs – reminiscing!

And JUST wait until you see his SIX MONTH SESSION!

I’m so excited to watch your family grow!

I’ve taken photos for the Fitzsimmons family for quite a while! Chrissy messaged me and said that they wanted – NEEDED – an extended family session sooner rather than later.

GORGEOUS GIRLS!

HE IS SO ADORABLE!

All the grandchildren!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

COUSINS!

Not long after the session – Chrissy’s dad passed away. They knew it was coming – but that doesn’t make it any easier.

I’m truly honored to have taken these photos. Thank you so much for asking me.
