Anddd another ‘Grow With Me’ kiddo turns ONE! (tear) They just get big way too fast! I’ve always loved taking Patrick’s photos, he has the most beautiful blue eyes and the camera loves him! I could have taken him home with me when his Mom, Amelia dressed him in the white button down, jeans and baby tie! How cute is that?! Well it’s been a busy past few weeks around here, trying to get everyone their images back in time, all while taking care of my current portrait sessions. Please be patient with me guys :) I had two more shoots this morning! Looking forward to taking off tomorrow and spending the day with my family. I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Here is little Mr. Patrick! Too cute for words :)

Those eyes and eyelashes….. could eat him up!LOVE!!!!!Cake and Balloon time!!Love that shirt!A few with mom and dad!! :)

Stella is another one of my “Grow With Me” kids! You will be seeing lots of my GWM Members on the blog over the next several weeks – it seems like they all hit their session marks at the same time! ;) I loved all of Stella’s outfits and hats – too cute! We took these in my little green nook in River Ridge. She did awesome for her shoot, 3 months is always a tough age but Stella showed us! Her parents Lindsey and Randy also hopped in for a few!

Here’s some I loved:

Don’t worry…. be crabby ;)

It’s a bittersweet day when one of my “Grow With Me” kiddos wraps up their years worth of sessions! I hope to see Tyler and his parents in the near future, it’s always so fun getting to know their family over the time spent together. I’ve watched Tyler grow from a little peanut until now! He is walking all over and is such a big boy! He is adorable, I love his bright blue eyes!

These were taken at City Park. Greg & Brittany hoped in for a few family shots! Here are some of my favs:

You gotta have at least one crying picture ;)How cute is his Saint’s jersey!! Brittany’s precious homemade birthday smash cake for Tyler!

I’ve photographed Mallory since she was a newborn, it’s been so fun to watch her grow over the past several months. Looking forward to her big girl shoot next time, she will be ONE!! It’s always nice to get some shots of her and older sister Madison together, too! My favorite part about photographing these girls is that Mom, Christi has shrines of my photography in her house :) We took these in their neighborhood, so I went to their home for a few minutes. I couldn’t be prouder – it makes me so happy to see my photos framed on the bookshelves, framed on the walls, coffee table albums made, announcements, etc! Christi takes full advantage of her sessions and photo CD’s and… I love it :) Thanks Christi!!
