Little *C* – it’s been so sweet watching your throughout the months!

SO ADORABLE!

I just can’t! THAT LITTEL SMIRK!

Sweet girl – you bring so much joy to that family of yours!

My nephew Jack turned TWO over Christmas! TWO!

We didn’t get outside too much – and he’s a MOVER and a SHAKER but we got a few cute shots!

JACK JACK! You are SO LOVED!

ISN’T HE DARLING!

This is my FAVORITE way to photograph – just a bystander – capturing life EXACTLY as it is!

Those little hands. Shadows. Legos. Childhood.

I cannot tell you how much FUN was had by this girl and that gift!

OH MY HEART!

Do you see his concentration on that ice cream!

Stephanie – spending time with you and your family is always LOVELY!

Thank you so much for asking me to come capture your little-big guy’s party!

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!

My cousin Vanessa and her boyfriend Jake were waiting on their first baby – due around Valentine’s Day!

I LOVE THAT SHOT!

Isn’t she BEAUTIFUL! My little cousin. I was 16 when she was born. My sister and I babysat them ALL THE TIME. When I left for college – she was so tiny and it’s hard to imagine her as anything other than the chubby little toddler with the bouncy curls – asking us to spend over the night.

And NOW – NOW – she is having babies of her own. A baby that is 3 years younger than my baby!

I AM NOT PREPARED FOR HOW FAST TIME IS MOVING!

Stay tuned for their newborn session with their little baby GIRL!

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!!!

Little *S* is ADORABLE!

This little guy turned ONE right after Christmas!

ADORABLE!

LOOK AT THAT SWEET LITTLE FACE!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for having me over to take pictures of your growing family! I LOVE YOU GUYS!

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!

You might remember this GORGEOUS face from the first days of this business!

That was 2009! (just a screenshot from Shutterfly – but you get the idea)

And NOW – Melissa & Spencer are engaged to be married this fall! I was SO excited that she asked me to take their engagement pictures!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

I LOVE BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHS!

And really photogenic people!

And people that just BE! It’s really hard for some people to just – do what they do – while I photograph them!

THAT LIGHT! OH MY WORD!

THAT ONE! ONE OF MY FAVORITES!

SWOON!!! THAT LIGHT! THOSE SMILES!

PERFECT SHOT!

Melissa & Spencer – I had such a GREAT time with you guys!

I CANNOT WAIT FOR YOUR WEDDING!!
