Noah

Noah was so happy during our photo shoot the other day. I'm sure it had more to do with his full tummy than my presence but I could just eat him up.His mommy just happens to be one of my dearest friends and I always enjoy the time spent with them. This was his 3 month session and I'm so excited that I get to follow him through his first year. These are just a small handful of what we got that day.

Abigail

I got to spend my saturday morning with one very cute little lady and her very sweet parents. This was Miss. Abigail's 3 month shoot and I'm already excited about her 6 month. I love being able to watch these babies grow. Here is just a sneak peak at the cuteness we got that day.

she just keeps getting cuter.

Once again I had the pleasure of photographing Miss. Elise. And once again she was a doll. She holds a special place in my heart and I love that I have been able to watch her grow. In just a few short months I will be back with her again for her 1 year shoot! But for now here is a sneak peak at her 9 month session.

Oh Owen

I actually had two session with Mr. Owen. (no complaints here, I love the newbies). I really wanted to get some good sleepy shots but on my first visit he was not in to that at all. So I came back for another try later in the week. Our persistence paid off and we finally got the pics we wanted. Asleep or awake, this is one cute baby. Enjoy this sneak peak.

Liam smiles!

This was my second shoot with Mr. Liam. He was much more excited to see me this time! He gave me the cutest grins from the moment I walked in until I waved goodbye. I could have photographed him all day. Cuteness does not even begin to explain it! here's a sneak peak.

my whole heart

There is an empty house in my neighborhood that is in need of some overdue TLC. We drive by it all the time and remark on how tall the grass has gotten or how it's just looking rough. On this particular day as I was driving home I noticed the sun hitting the grass in a way that just made me gasp. All I could think of was putting a child in that tall grass to take some photographs. Well, it had been raining that day and I knew it was going to be muddy. I also knew that my son loves to wear his rain boots and go on "rainy day adventures". So as soon as I walked in the door I informed my husband that we were going to take some pictures. Bless him for being so supportive. He didn't even question me. We all three threw on some boots and headed over to the house. I have always said that my child is the hardest I have ever had to photograph but on this day he did AMAZING and I could not be happier with the outcome. He is my heart and I sure do love him. Here are just a few from our rainy day mini shoot.

old friends and new beginnings

I love when I get to photograph friends that I haven't seen in a while. Nathan and I went to school together our whole lives. I even still have our 1'st grade school picture. Who would have thought I would one day be photographing his family. I loved getting to know his wife and ADORABLE baby girl (that looks just like him). Here is just a sneak peak of what we got that day.

down on the farm

I don't think I can say enough wonderful things about this family. They really were some of the nicest people I have met in a long time. I truly enjoyed the day spent with them. Their family farm at sunset was absolutely beautiful and the perfect place for their shoot. These two little girls were full of personality and could very easily wrap me around their fingers. I had such a hard time choosing my favorites to post in this blog because I really love them all. I hope everyone else who sees them finds the joy in them as well.

Giggles and Tears

This family is always a pleasure and I love spending time with them. On this particular day we had a little "baby drama" going on. Lots of tears were flowing. We made the best of it though and I think we got some great shots.

Family photos

I am so behind on my blog. Sorry friends. I've been so busy with taking and editing photos that I have not had time to write about any of it. This session was a few weeks back. I had a lot of fun that day driving this family around on the golf cart. Here are just a few of what we got.
