Filed under: . babies . babies . babies .,babes,family,just because,kiddos,love,portraits — admin at 12:19 pm on Tuesday, April 16, 2013

I can’t believe that little *G* is one month old already – I SHOULD believe it – it’s the way it always goes!

Hello sweet boy!

SO HANDSOME!

That might be the BEST smile that *E* has ever given me!

Nicole – I can’t wait to see you next month and see how much your little man has grown!

*S* – 6 MONTHS

Seriously – LOOK AT THAT FACE!

I cannot believe that little *S* is SIX MONTHS OLD ALREADY!

TOO MUCH!

I could not have asked for a more PERFECT model!

OH MY HEART!

Taylor – thanks for having me capture your little guy’s first year of life! Oh – and for the extra snuggles!

See you for his YEAR session!

FITZY – 22 MONTHS

He loves to talk and tell stories. He loves to go for walks. He ADORES his grandparents. He can say pineapple – cucumber – kiwi – caterpillar – bouillon – pepper. We pray at every meal and thank Jesus for lots of things. Mommy – daddy – fitzy – plates – spoons – bowls – chairs – healing. He loves to pray for people. He loves to have the Bible read to him. He LOVES to dance and listen to worship music. His favorite movie is BRAVE. He loves little blonde girls.

He is amazing. And almost TWO years old.

OH LITTLE BABY – you are my dearest!

CHEESE!

We spend a lot of time in our jammies!

Fitzy – we love you SO much! I pray that you would experience kindness and joy every single day of your life. I pray that you will love Jesus and follow His example.

I pray for you to love. To live. To the fullest.

SWEET BABY *A*

Mindi is my cousin – we used to spend summers together when we were little! Field and dirt and hay and cows – those were the days!

Mindi is now a momma to two little sweeties!

SHE IS SO SWEET!

Mindi – it was GREAT to see you! I’ll let you know when we are home over the summer and we’ll get all the babies together!

*G* – NEWBORN

Filed under: babes,expecting,family,just because,kiddos,love,portraits — admin at 11:52 am on Wednesday, April 3, 2013

I’ve been taking photos for Nicole & Dustin for almost THREE years!

Dustin is overseas defending our freedoms – so capturing the birth of this little guy was VERY VERY important. And I got sick. Sick enough that I couldn’t risk exposing a new momma and baby to the germs. I was SO SO SO upset. I knew that if I couldn’t be there with these dear friends (I love clients that turn into GOOD friends) that someone would have to be. Who better than the girl who photographed Fitzy’s birth?

Bridget Reed did a beautiful job with his birth! THANK YOU SO MUCH for stepping in for me!

Thankfully – I got over my nasty cold just in time to photograph him while I was in town!

I’ve been disappointed with my newborn results lately. I am trying to be someone I’m not – as far as the style goes. With *G* I just put aside all the expectations in my own head and photographed him. I LOVE they way they turned out. It’s exactly the style I want to represent. I can’t wait to try out some more ideas next time!

LOVE!

You’ll be getting lots of little looks at *G* this year! While his daddy is fighting for us – I’ll take pictures of him every month!

 

SHE SAID YES – TAYLOR & TOM

Taylor is one of my favorite people to photograph! I love being able to capture each step in her life – especially with Tom and little *S*.

SERIOUSLY – GORGEOUS!

Don’t worry – little *S* had his socks RIGHT back on after this shot!

I love when ideas in my head come out PERFECTLY!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

This little guy gets his 6 month session next week – but I HAD to get a recreation of his newborn photo!

Thank you for asking me to capture this moment for you!

 

 

FITZY – 21 MONTHS

I bought this cute little outfit for Fitzy when he was just a month old!

It’s a 3T set – and I can’t believe that he fits in it already – well – almost! I plan on using it for his 2 year pictures at the end of April! But I had to get some cute snow pictures!

Oh Fitzy – you hold my heart!

Fitzy – we love you SO MUCH!

*J* – 6 MONTHS

Filed under: . babies . babies . babies .,babes,just because,kiddos,portraits — admin at 1:06 pm on Thursday, March 21, 2013

I took *J*’s newborn pictures in July – you know – when it was warm and lovely out!

Since his 6 months fell in the winter – we used the library at MU for his session – and it worked out GREAT!

Well – hello Mr. President!

SERIOUSLY!

Ashley – thanks so much for having me capture your little man! See you in April!

 

CHRIS & JESSICA – 9.14.2013

Jessica emailed me about setting up an engagement session – in the snow!

Jessica came to the ARNOT MALL BRIDAL EXPO to book her September wedding – so I got to meet her then! I knew we would have a GREAT time!

It was FREEZING – but they were awesome!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that shot on the right!

SO BEAUTIFUL!

OH! THAT TREE!

I LOVE THOSE SHOTS!

Jessica & Chris – I CANNOT WAIT for your wedding!

 

*H* – 6 MONTHS

I met Mary on FACEBOOK. She asked me to put her name on my ever-growing list of “wanting to be mommas” – they wanted another sweet one!

I was SO excited when she told me they were expecting! They live in NJ but she really wanted a session with me. Luckily – my sister lives not far from them!

LOOK AT HER!

Baby *H* – you are a sweet girl! I can’t wait to see you again soon!

Mary – I am SO glad we met! Thanks for opening up your home to us!
