Grant :: 9 Months

Saturday, September 15, 2012 Posted in Children, Grow With Me

I usually don’t work or blog on Saturdays, but I have been completely swamped since Issac. That week off really threw my schedule for a loop! I have 7 sessions this upcoming week before we head to the beach. I’m trying to get as caught up as possible before we leave :) Thanks to all my clients for being patient while I edit edit edit!

I photographed this cutie on Monday morning… don’t you just love his little teeth? Seems like yesterday I was photographing his newborn session and now we are already planning for his 1 year session. Time flies! It’s been great getting to know his family over the past year – they are so sweet! We took these at Rivertown Heritage Park off Williams… love that little area. Sister Addison also jumped in for a couple too!

Here are some shots I loved from Grant’s session:

Riley :: 2 Years

Friday, September 14, 2012 Posted in Children

What a pleasure it’s been to photograph this sweet pea since she was just a newborn! Her Mom brought along her newborn photo to her 2 year session and I couldn’t believe how fast the time had flown by! Riley is just beautiful and we had a great time doing her pictures this time around. She is so full of sass and has the best little personality! She was shaking her little butt in the purple ruffled outfit! So girly and sweet!
