I was so bummed to miss the arrival of the littlest {O}, Miss {C} late this spring. But so glad I got to meet her at the end of June! (Yes, can you believe Mrs. {O} gave birth just six weeks before these pictures were taken? AMAZING.) And it was fun to see how much her big brothers have grown too! They were up to their usual crazy antics, which always make it a fun and laugh-out-loud session for me. I can’t wait to see how little {C} gets in on the fun when she is just a bit older! […]

The last time I saw Miss {E} and her mom she was only 5 weeks old! Such a beautiful little girl she is becoming! I enjoyed the opportunity to catch her sweet smiles and some nice family shots too!

I had the pleasure of capturing a double mini-session with the {V} family where I got to meet their youngest, Miss {M}! And while I love how many smiling faces I get to see with the back-to-back minis, being able to spend a little more time, and not be quite as rushed was really nice too! I first met this family when I was teaching swim lessons at the YMCA, so I have known Miss {B} since she was 6 months old. It’s been a couple of years since I’ve gotten my lens on her, so it was great to […]

It is SO hard to believe that I flew home to capture this baby girl’s newborn session five months ago! Time flies! Miss {B} is already growing into a beautiful little lady…. and doing an AMAZING job of sitting at only five months! 🙂 Her mom and I had so much fun experimenting and pulling this session together. And I love some of the sentimental touches…. like the yellow dress? That used to be her mama’s!  And the quilt?  Bought as a wedding present!  <3 All of the adorable headbands are from Christine’s Bowtique Designs. Raggedy Ann hat from Sweet […]

I’ve been photographing this family since before Miss {S} turned one! Hard to believe she’ll be in school this fall….  I’ve even had the opportunity to photograph them in more than one state! 😉 Such beautiful ladies and handsome young men ~ it was great to see everyone again, and they all get mad props for battling a VERY early and slightly chilly morning shoot!

Grateful for another fun session with the {S} family! They sure are troopers…. racing from a championship baseball game just in time to be the last shoot of the night! So glad it worked out! 🙂 p.s. After all these years, I think I learned where the boys get their goofiness from…. Mr. {S}, you’ve been busted on camera!

Such a pleasure to meet Miss {A} and her little brother Mister {N}! They did an awesome job for their photo shoot. Miss {A} must be one of the most poised little seven-year olds I know…. and I just loved the faces and expressions that came from Mister {N}! 

So many special life milestones have been shared with this family…. our wedding, baby showers, being in the hospital together while delivering our little ones… <3 It has been so much fun to watch these kids grow through the years. We look forward to another fall of logging on to the Press Gazette online each Saturday morning to read of {A}’s accomplishments from the night before! 🙂 (Although I admit I sometimes still like to think of him as four, instead of almost 17! EEK!) Grateful today for the {I} family, for lifelong friendships, and for technology that allows us […]

It was two summers ago when I first got my lens on these kiddos…. remember this session? At the time, a comment was made by a dear friend of mine that she hoped to see these kiddos on the kg page again. I was hopeful too! And then I moved. So I was completely THRILLED that Mrs. {H} was interested in a mini-session during my trip back home last month! These kiddos have grown SO much in the past two years, changing from toddler and little boy, to beautiful little lady and handsome young man. I only wish we would […]

Truly one of the first families I photographed…. so many years ago, before {W} was even born! I can reminisce about all the fun sessions we have had in the past… out in the woods, maternity, newborn, the horse farm, the lifestyle at home, just to name a few! Such a joy to catch up with these kiddos and their momma. So much fun to watch them grow ~ the girls growing into such beauties, and the personality of little man…so FUN! (Although we are really still struggling with the idea that Baby {W} is now FOUR!) Great to see […]

So much fun to meet the entire {D} family and capture their first family picture in years! Love the bright colors they wore to the shoot. And little man {R}? He sure has his work cut out for him with three BEAUTIFUL older sisters to help protect!

LOVE capturing the expressions of little boys! Just so much fun! And while Mister {D} has always had some fun expressions, his personality has really developed in the past year! There are so many more fun personality shots in his full gallery not pictured here, but I didn’t want his mom to think I only capture goofy shots!  😉  And his big sister {A}…. isn’t she beautiful? So so pretty, and so patient with her little brother too!
