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!!

 

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!

Isn’t he ADORABLE!

OH MY WORD! Look at that little smile!

Brothers – such a special bond!

Michaelia & Travis – I LOVE photographing your family every year! Thank you SO much!

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!

I was walking in downtown Mansfield one day – about 3 years ago – and a dress caught my eye. I went in and bought it – and then life happened. And I kind of forgot about it. Until one day – I was going through our storage room and saw it hanging there. I knew EXACTLY who to call for a photo session!

McKenzie! She is one of my FAVORITE people to photograph – along with her sister Taylor!

GORGEOUS! Perfect fit! Perfect light!

OH MY WORD!

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE BLACK & WHITE!

McKenzie – thank you SO MUCH for hanging out with me! This shoot is EXACTLY what I had in mind for this dress when I bought it!

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.

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

At this point – we were working hard to beat the rain!

I ADORE BLACK & WHITE!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

OH WAIT – and those!

AND THOSE!

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE senior sessions!

It’s WAY TOO HARD to pick out my favorites from this session – which is why it’s such a HUGE preview!

Lexi – thank you so much for hanging out with me! I hope you LOVED your pictures!

Whatever you decide to do – DO IT WELL!
