I LOVE being asked to take extended family photos!!

SO sweet!

Great-grandma & his grandson – AND – a squishy newborn baby!!

A few more shots of this SWEET girl in her little basket from way back when!

This little girl is SO loved!!

I’ve got LOTS more to show you!!

Sweet baby girl – you are SO VERY LOVED!!

Oh goodness – I LOVE THAT ONE!!

SO SWEET!!

That photo on the left – I love it. The angle. Her stare into the camera. The perspective of how tiny she really is. Everything.

Diane & Dan – thank you SO MUCH for asking me to share this AMAZING time with you!! I can’t wait to see you all again!

This was the FIRST thing I saw when I walked in their house to photograph this AMAZING time in their lives!

This baby girl has been in their hopes and dreams for so long – and she’s finally HERE!!

That might be my favorite shot from their session. There’s something so gentle and sweet about every single thing.

OH WAIT!!! I LOVE THAT ONE TOO!!

That little smooshy face – it’s the best!!

You will forget that she was this small. You will forget how tiny those feet were. You will forget these moments.

With photos – you can’t forget.

I’ve got more to show you – because she is SO sweet and squishy!

LOVE!!

Isn’t she gorgeous & glowing in that dress!?

BEAUTIFUL!!

PERFECTION!!

Courtney & Dave – THANK YOU so much for spending the evening with me! I cannot WAIT to see you with that beautiful baby in your arms!!!

I have been WAITING & WAITING for Dave & Courtney’s maternity session!!

Last year we took their yearly photos at a new place – a GORGEOUS creek bed!

Turns out – they were pregnant then and didn’t know it!

I suggested that we go back to that same place to document the “end” of THIS journey since we were there at the “beginning”!

SWOON!!! I LOVE moody black & white baby bellies!!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!!

Stay tuned – because Courtney got IN the water in mid-April!!

AHHHHH!!! BEAUTIFUL!!

I ADORE those shots!!

Diane & Dan – I am SO honored that you asked me to share this miraculous moment with you both!

I can’t WAIT to see you when there are THREE of you!!

I met Diane through FACEBOOK! I photograph lots of her friends and she just KNEW she wanted me to capture this long journey for them!!

LOOK AT THAT FIRST SHOT! It’s BEAUTIFUL!!

The light was PERFECTION!!

Stay tuned – because I could have photographed these two all night!!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!!

PRECIOUS!

I LOVE THAT ONE!

Kate & Willie – thank you SO MUCH for getting together with me! I can’t WAIT to see you guys this fall!!

You might recognize Kate & Willie – I photographed their wedding a while back!

Kate was a momma on THE LIST – praying & hoping for a baby!!

In early December – their little guy was born! He had a stay in the NICU but is now home with his momma & daddy!

I was SO excited to meet him and get them in front of my camera!!

They assured me that he is typically ALL smiles – but in true fashion – I bring out the serious faces in babies!!

BEAUTIFUL!!

THERE’S A SMILE!!

We even got their puppies in the pictures – check in tomorrow to see those shots!

Dave’s mom had labeled all the little things that she wrapped up for them! Many of the things were from Dave’s childhood!

#DADLIFE!!!

She really loved all the elephants!!

This wasn’t everybody – but I wanted to grab a quick group shot so Courtney could look back on this moment!!

Courtney & Dave – I am so thankful that our paths crossed & I could pray for you on this journey!!

My heart cannot contain the excitement I have for you all!!
