This little guy was a DREAM to photograph!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!

ADORABLE!

Kara – it was GREAT to see you again and meet your family!

I’m nearly six months behind on blogging – I’ll see this guy in a few weeks for his 6 month session!!

Arica’s family holds a dear place in my heart!

I ADORE that last shot!

I LOVE that last shot – the grain – the boots. Through the screen door. LOVE IT!

I met Cindy at MOPS! She’s such an amazing woman with a GIANT heart!

SO very very sweet!

My heart exploded! That chubby chubby baby!

Cindy – I love your big heart! You’re an inspiration!

I just LOVE Stephanie and her family! I’ve been photographing her for over 5 years! That’s unbelievable!

SWEET!

Aren’t they the cutest!?!

Stephanie – you are a shining light! Can’t wait to photograph you again!

My mom’s brother got married this fall!

Spot the Fitzy – he’s never far from his G!

Kelly & Ron – we are SO happy for you both!

So – I’ve known Nicole for over 5 years – which is just crazy to being with!

And in that time – SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED. She’s a fighter. Loyal. Devoted. Supportive.

And I’ve never seen her happier.

Isn’t she BEAUTIFUL!? Nicole AND little *A*!

*A* – you are a loved and lucky little girl! WE LOVE YOU!

Missy is my dearest friend – and I LOVE taking pictures for their family!

Isn’t he SWEET!

Sweet brothers!

SWOON!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

We love you guys! I am so thankful to walk through motherhood and life with you!

I took Kayla & Jeremiah’s wedding photos – 5 YEARS AGO!

She is on my “momma list” – and to be able to move her from wanting to waiting to with – brought such joy to my heart!

ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!

Kayla – thank you SO much for asking me to capture this time for you! Can’t WAIT to see you again! *W* is DARLING!

Vanessa – my cousin – asked me to take pictures for her – with her boyfriend!

I was just taking her to the pumpkin farm yesterday – this CANNOT BE!

It doesn’t seem possible that she’s all grown up!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

Vanessa – I LOVE YOU! Whatever you do – do it well!!

I met Kelly when I was working at Phoenix – TEN YEARS AGO! I had a picture hanging up on the wall in the clinic – an older woman and her dog walking away from the camera – in Central Park. That picture stuck with her – and she emailed me about photographing their journey to parenthood!

She was due July 8th – and on June 24th – I got back in my car after a morning session to see a missed call from her. I called her back and her mom let me know that she was at 10 cm. I wouldn’t make it – but I could still come and do after the birth pictures. As fate would have it – Jared was off that day because he was playing in a golf tournament and then wasn’t need after all. I called Jared to let him know that I’d be going – and hopefully – making the birth!

I got there right before 11 – with no baby yet!

Kelly was SO calm.

I wasn’t able to be right up by her head for THE moment – but I did capture it!

A sweet baby girl!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE those shots!!

Kelly & Wade – thank you SO much for asking me to witness this MIRACULOUS time in your lives!

It was an absolute honor to capture her birth for you! I can’t wait to spend this next year watching her grow with you!
