Can you see his little shoes – on the opposite feet!

Sometimes there’s a miscommunication – especially over messenger and text – and sleepless mommas.

So the location wasn’t what I was thinking it would be for this time of day with the bright sun and harsh shadows – but isn’t life about the bright mountains and the dark valleys?

I ADORE THAT SHOT! ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!

That top shot – I knew it was going to be a good one when I snapped it!

And that smile – pure joy! That’s what I love capturing your families!

She is such a FANTASTIC big sister!

And sometimes you crack heads with your brother – but that’s also real-life!

FRECKLES!!

THOSE MOMENTS – those are my favorite! Things you do everyday and never really think about it – tying your son’s shoes. Seemingly unimportant moments.

MY FAVORITE!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

LIFE WITH LITTLES!!

ADORABLE!! ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!

LOOK AT THOSE EYES!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE – especially that black & white!

I actually love the shadows in that one!

Did I mention she’s a GREAT big sister?!

Sometimes it doesn’t work out the way you imagined – but life is EXACTLY like that.

These little moments are the BIG moments! They are my FAVORITE to shoot!

I LOVE THAT LITTLE FACE!!

BLACK & WHITE! CHUBBY CHEEKS! Some of my FAVORITE things!

SQUISHY BABIES and LOTS and LOTS of elephants!

I met my friend Erica through the playgroup at our local YMCA! I invited her to walk with us in the summer – and we grew close!

She happens to make DELICIOUS cakes! Especially delicious dairy-free cakes!!

I highly recommend contacting her if you need a cake for ANY occasion!

We had a tricky February and March – it snowed one day and melted the next. JUST LIKE APRIL!!

We had a random beautiful day and Erica asked if we could squeeze in some pictures!

She’s a shy one – even though I’ve known her for a couple of years!

She did manage to give me a smile – or two – EVEN THREE!!

I LOVE THAT ONE!!

BLACK & WHITE – MY FAVORITE!!

Erica & Ryan – thanks for trekking around your property with me!

Erica – I am so thankful that we are friends!!

DANIELLE & CLIFF – SHE SAID YES

Danielle works cross-country and trying to get together for a first snow – seemed tough – but we managed on the FIRST try!!

SWOON!!!

Danielle & Cliff – I cannot WAIT for your wedding – it’s coming up quick!!

Matching Christmas pajamas – THE BEST!

If you don’t know what to do next year for Christmas photos – DO THIS!

Snuggle up in your jammies – read a book – write a letter to Santa AND eat Christmas cookies! AND LET ME COME PHOTOGRAPH YOU!

Viky – thank you so much! I love seeing your family year after year!!

My sister AND my brother came home for Thanksgiving!

We weren’t ALL able to be together at the same time – Samm’s husband got home when mine had to leave – but I still wanted to take ALL the pictures!

*R* is 3 months older than Fitzy – her birthday was yesterday actually – they have a special bond!

*J* did NOT like the camera on someone else – so he snuck RIGHT IN!

*J* – he’s such a silly guy!

*R* and Sammy have a special bond too!

GOSH – I JUST LOVE BLACK & WHITE!

That sweet face!! Again – FOCUS IS OVERRATED!

As usual – I took WAY TOO MANY PHOTOS – well – is there such a thing?! No. NEVER!

SO – stay tuned for the rest of our Thanksgiving fun!

*C* FAMILY – PART TWO

Filed under: . babies . babies . babies .,babes,expecting,family,just because,kiddos,lifestyle,love,newborns,portraits — admin at 12:09 pm on Wednesday, February 7, 2018

As promised – the rest of their session!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

I ADORE THOSE SHOTS! Such a sweet moment!

Seemingly unimportant moments in time – moments in your day that you do over and over again. You never even think that they’re photo-worthy.

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS! I love when newborns fit perfectly right on your chest – next to your heart!

Rachel & Riley – thank you so much for asking me into your lives! I loved spending the morning with you!

I can’t WAIT to see you again!

*C* FAMILY – PART ONE

My dearest friend Johna surprised her friend Rachel with a gift certificate when her daughter was born!

I’ve been fortunate enough to keep photographing them over the last two years!

Rachel and I had talked a while ago and she had asked if I could pray for them. They wanted another baby – and I have a list of women that I pray for that want babies!

Several months went by and she messaged me – she was PREGNANT! BUT – much to her surprise it was TWINS! Maybe we prayed TOO much!!

This little girl – she is so DARLING!!

THAT LITTLE FACE!

I absolutely ADORE lifestyle sessions!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!

LOOK AT THAT SMILE!

I adore those shots – so real. Life with a toddler and twins – it never stops!

Stay tuned for the rest of the their session!!
