Addi is another one of my ‘Grow With Me’ kids who gets more adorable at every session! We took these in Rivertown which is one of my favorite places to photograph this age, there are lots of cute backgrounds. Her mom, Tiffany made her some really cute bows for her shoot! Loved them!

It’s a busy weekend ahead with a rehearsal dinner to photograph tonight for my couple and then their Wedding to shoot tomorrow night. I have a crazy packed few weeks to get through until we are off to the beach again for double weekends in August. Although I mentioned taking August off – I know myself all too well and that didn’t happen! I’ll take a month off when I reallllllly needa take off. Until then… I just like what I do too much :) However, I will be blocking off some days around my brother’s Wedding festivities. (Late Aug/Early Sept) If you are interested in any type of shoot, please remember to book in advance. As ‘Grow With Me’ gets more popular, my weekdays are filling up fast. Thanks guys for all the support ;)

Here are some favs of little Addi girl!

Baby blues!!Hey Mom!!Yay!! Go Addi!Pouty Lips!

I can’t thank Cooper’s Mom, Kalee enough! She was the first person to call me and say, “Jen- I really think you should start some kind of “Grow With Me” Package.’ She called me once and I said, I’d get back to her. I wasn’t sure where to begin with this? I put it on the back burner. She called again a few weeks later to see what I had come up with! It was then I knew I needed to get this package started. I brainstormed a bit and I am SO HAPPY to now offer this. With 10 kids now members of this “club”, it’s made me realize how important this is! You child grows and changes so much within that first year, it’s just amazing. I wish I would do these sessions for free- that’s how much I love doing them. I get to truly know the child, I form a great relationship with the parents, the kids get used to the camera – it’s a win win for everyone. At the end of the year – you have all the photo CD’s! Each 3 months we have a shoot! It’s a fun experience :)

So enough of my rambling, here is COOPER!! He did so great for his one year session! His Mom started him at the 3 month mark, so here is what we’ve done so far!

Cooper – 3 Months

Cooper – 6 Months

Cooper – 9 Months

and now…… COOPER @ 1 YEAR!!

(Mama’s got another bun in the oven too – YYYYAYYY!! )

Love all that blonde hair!!LOVE this one! This age seems to really enjoy that white bench! :)So handsome!

It’s hard to believe that my first “Grow With Me” Package is complete. Faith was one of the first to jump on board over a year ago! I wrapped up the session and told Holly that I would miss taking Faith’s photos every 3 months! I watched her grow up before my very eyes, I can remember each session like it was yesterday.

After I got home from Faith’s session, I received an email from Holly….

Hey Jen,
Thank you so much for taking Faith’s pictures throughout this year. I got home today and went into her room and looked at all her past pictures hanging up on her bulletin board.  I was so happy to have such wonderful pictures of her, but I also had a sad feeling because I can’t believe her first year is over. I was admiring all her pictures and I am so grateful to you for taking such great pictures of her. I just wanted to say thank you and let you know that you are great at what you do. I am so fortunate to have so many beautiful pictures along with all the memories of her first year. We will always cherish the pictures that you have taken.
Thank You, Holly
