Claire :: 6 Months

Little Claire surely worked her session last week! She was all smiles, despite our heat lately! Loved her outfit choices that Momma picked out for her to wear – just precious! These were taken at Audubon Park. I can’t wait until next time, I love spending time with my ‘Grow With Me’ kids!!! :) Here are some that I loved from this session:

Abel :: 1 Year

I am so thankful to have photographed Abel’s first year. I shot his parents Wedding back in 2010 and was thrilled when I found out Caleb & Katy were expecting. Little Abel came along and I was so happy to spend time with them again this past year. Katy is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. Always has a smile on her face, so thoughtful and sweet. Just a complete joy to be around! When we finished Abel’s final “Grow with Me” session last week, Katy gave me a big hug and a card. I opened the card when I got back in the car and it was filled with a long long handwritten note and a PJ’s gift card. I started to get teary eyed because it really meant so much to me. I am not going to lie, sometimes I feel like I just take pictures for a living and I’m not sure how much of an effect I have on people? Katy went out of her way to make sure I felt appreciated and special. Katy, thank you from the bottom of my heart! Your family is very dear to me! I am going to miss seeing you all every 3 months.

Please enjoy my favorites from Abel’s session :)

 

Madison :: 1 Year

Loved Madison’s outfits for her session, so summery and sweet! I could not get over all the smiles she gave us, what a joy to photograph :) I am soo going to miss this little peanut. I’ve photographed her every 3 months since she was born. It’s a bittersweet day! Thank you Falyn for letting me document your cutie’s first year!! These were taken in City Park!

Here are some I loved:

Audrey :: 18 Months

I photographed Audrey last week and she was a little ball of energy for her 18 Month session! Love that blonde hair, too cute! I always enjoy the rustic overgrown green areas of City Park. Here are some of my favs from her session:

Aidan :: Newborn

Aidan was so great for me this past Tuesday! He is the newest member of the ‘Grow With Me’ club :) Looking forward to watching him change and grow over the upcoming year. He did awesome for his session, lots of smiles and cute faces! Check out my favorites from this handsome little guys newborn shoot:
