I’ve had the pleasure of photographing Greg & Elizabeth’s Engagements, Wedding and now MATERNITY! I get so much joy from watching my couple’s start a family. I can’t wait to see how cute their little girl will be once she gets here! I’ve always enjoyed photographing these two because they are so sweet and kind! Always making me laugh, too! :) Thank you, Elizabeth and Greg for a wonderful shoot, you guys are adorable!!

I’ve photographed for this family a few times now and the kids just get cuter every session! :) Cesily and Robert are so sweet! We took these at City Park last week, we kept cool by shooting in the morning. If it’s not the heat… it’s the rain this time of year! Here are some I loved:

Robert :: Newborn

I photographed sweet little Robert for his newborn session and he did great! This little one loved being outside :) His Dad is a soccer fan so we had some fun with the soccer ball and jersey. Loved the tie and also his parents Wedding bands. I always enjoy capturing the fun ideas my clients have for their sessions!
