Annie :: 3 Months

I photographed this sweet girl on Tuesday of this week, it feels wonderful to be this CAUGHT UP with work! :) She did so great for only being 3 months old! Looking forward to her next session, she just gets prettier every time I see her!

Here are some of my favorites from Annie’s session:

A few in her Christening gown! :)

Hudson :: Newborn

Last week I had the pleasure of photographing this family for the first time :) Meet Hudson and his big sister Kenadee! They were cute as can be and I am in love with the shots of them two together. Something you just can’t turn back time and capture – what a memory! Big sis with her new brother. Hudson did great for us. It was nice because while Mom was feeding – I went outdoors and photographed Kenadee for a little bit!

Here are some I enjoyed from their session:

 

Stella :: 1 Year

We headed to City Park’s Storyland to shoot Stella’s 1 year session, she did great and was full of smiles! Another ‘Grow with Me’ child turns ONE! What a beautiful journey it’s been to capture this sweet pea over the past year! Thank you Randy and Lindsey for allowing me to photograph Stella, she is too cute! Looking forward to our next session together! :)

Camille & Josie :: Newborn Twins

It’s such a treat when I get to photograph newborn twins, double the cuteness :) These two beauty’s did wonderful for their session. It was nice having big sister and big brother hop in for a few, too!

Here are some that I loved:

 

The Giarrusso’s :: Family

I’ve been photographing for Amy and her beautiful family for a while now, you may recognize their faces in some of the photos :) Amy contacted me because she wanted to do a large family session with her parents, her siblings and all the grandchildren. This may have been the largest group I’ve photographed during a portrait session. It was so sweet to see everyone together! Their outfits and color schemes where perfect. That really helps to make the session come together. We photographed these at City Park and I am so happy the rain held out for us. Just as I was driving home, it began to sprinkle. The entire family headed to brunch afterwards at Ralph’s on the Park! I love getting the opportunity to photograph sessions like this…. so much LIFE in these pictures. Love seeing the generations :) The one with the grandparents and the grandkids all together reminds me of a photograph we all took when I was younger with my Grandmother – still one of my favorite pics!

Here are some favorites from their session:

This is Amy and her beautiful family. Her husband Trey is also my dentist!
