Ava :: 1 Year

Leave a reply

Ava has just completed her “Grow With Me” Package! This makes me so happy and so sad all at the same time! I can’t believe they change so fast! However, when Momma’s say they’ll see me again for 18 months and then yearly pics – that puts smile on my face :) I kind of get attached to all these babies. They’ve given me my fair share of baby fever over the past year or so. I can’t get over that I have nearly 20 children who have become members of Grow With Me! Needless to say, they are all so special to me. Of course, their parents are too for trusting me and having me capture the first year in their baby’s life.

Josie :: 9 Months

Josie Girl! I can’t believe how awesome she did this time around! As a “Grow With Me” babe, I can honestly say this was her best yet. I love seeing Josie and her mom, Nicole. Her mom is one of those people you feel like you’ve known your whole life! Always a breathe of fresh air and makes me laugh. Josie does this thing with her tongue where she sticks it out and smiles really big. While editing, all I could hear in my head was “lizzard, lizzzard, lizaard” – which is what Nicole says when she does that! It’s the cutest thing, haha!

These were taken at Audubon Park – I love the outfits! The first lemonade dress was adorable, ruffles like that always photograph so well. Saints dress was a must, too!

Here are my favs – can’t wait until her next shoot, the big ONE~

I couldn’t help but take this photo – look at those precious arm rolls!! I could eat her up! So beautiful! Who Dat, babyyyyy!!!!Lizarddd!!

Stella :: Newborn

I photographed Stella last week and she did great! It’s been nice and warm outside and the little ones love that :) This seems to be what works best for me: photographing the babies outdoors in natural light. Even during the winter I’ve had moms swaddle their babies in blankets and put heating pads in the baskets in order to get these types of shots! I’m starting to realize over the past several month… people are booking me because they want a certain look and style in their photos. It’s funny the more I’m given the opportunity to shoot, the more I’m able to see my photography go in a certain direction. I’m always on the hunt for new props and new blankets in order to continue this direction. I have literally outgrown our shed with the baskets, rockers, chairs, stools, barrels and props I have. I think I need more space!

Thank you to Randy and Lindsey for allowing me to photograph your sweet little STELLA! Love her name! I can’t wait to watch her grow up and I am so happy to have another cutie join the “Grow With Me” club! I had fun with you guys, bearing the heat and all!

Here are some of my favs from the day. I love that fabulous leopard beanie!

I see a little tiny smile :)Look at those LIPS! Too cute!

Tyler :: 9 Months

Tyler is now 9 months and sweeter than ever! He did great last week for his session. We hit up Rivertown Heritage Park this time! He looked so handsome dressed in his polo outfits. That blue shirt really brought out his eyes. Next go round he will be ready for some balloons and a cake- it’ll be his ONE year shoot! Always fun to get to see his mom and dad too!

Well that’s enough work for today, it’s almost 6pm. I am ready to eat some dinner and tackle our guest bedroom. We are so close to finishing, I can almooosttt see it! I can’t believe we’ve been married for over a year and this project has taken us this long, haha!! Living life gets in the way sometimes ;)

I hope to share some photos tomorrow from our Annual friends trip to Florida that we went on this past weekend!

Patrick :: 9 Month

I think Patrick has the most beautiful blue eyes! They just pop against his dark brown hair. We photographed his 9 month session in Rivertown, which is quickly turning into one of my favorite spots for this age! This is when you can really start to notice the backgrounds and scenery. They are able to move around more, stand up while holding on to things and almostttt beginning to walk. Patrick did awesome, even with the heat! What a trooper! I can’t wait to see how much Patrick will have grown for our next shoot – the big ONE!

Also, I want to comment on Patrick’s outfits – those types of colors LOVE the camera, they just POP in all the photos. It’s awesome when I finish up editing a gallery and flip through the photos only to see all the rich, bright tones in the photos. Anyway, just a thought for my upcoming clients who are searching for their session outfits! :)
