The Button’s :: Family

Thursday, December 13, 2012 Posted in Family

I always enjoy photographing The Button’s and their growing family!! We took these last week at City Park. Beau, Rebecca, Beau and Ellie have welcomed a new sister Charlotte. You may remember her newborn photos on the blog. She is getting so big… at around 4 months now! I was thankful to get some smiles in there, but also really love the simple, candid shots. Those are sometimes my favorite. Just capturing a family being fun, loving and goofy with each other :)

Here are some I loved from their session:

Aidan :: 6 Months

Wednesday, December 12, 2012 Posted in Children, Grow With Me

I photographed cute little Aidan last week at Audubon Park! My sessions last week were right before the weather turned cold. I am so glad I was able to photograph a lot of my little ones before the weather dipped into the 40’s! Here are some favs from Aidan’s 6 month session! He was the sweetest little smile :)

It was so nice to see Randy, Lindsey & Stella again! You may remember sweet little Stella’s face… she was part of my Grow With Me club so she appeared many times on the blog. Her parents are getting married this upcoming year and I was thrilled when they asked me to take some Engagement photos of them! Stella hopped in for a few too! Love the colors and the backgrounds! Here are some favs from their session:
