I loved Olivia’s outfits for her 6 month session! Bright colors always photograph so well and I highly recommend dressing your kiddos in rich colors for photos. I find they really pop rather then lighter colored fabrics. We headed to the Rivertown area to take these on a bit of a chilly morning! I can’t get over how much Olivia and her older brother Cooper look alike! She is so cute and I could just pinch those little cheeks all day! Here are some of my favs of Olivia’s 6 month session!
I started off photographing little Addison when she was 3 months old! So we extended her ‘Grow With Me’ package to include a 15 month session! It’s amazing how fast she has grown. It seems like yesterday I was photographing her as a little baby and now she is walking and all over the place! We headed to Storyland in City Park to take these. 15 months is an age where they are on the GO! HAHA! I got my workout chasing Addi around the park! Thank you Tiffany for a great year! Here are some of my favs from our session!
Last week I had the pleasure of helping host a baby shower for my cousin Rob’s wife, Allison! The party was held at my parent’s home last Saturday! We were so excited when we first found out that Rob and Allison were expecting twin baby boys! We kind of ran with the theme of cowboys when we found the perfect invites online. My cousin Rob loved to come over to our house when younger and ride our horses. The cowboy themed baby shower only seemed fitting :) We had a blast making the decorations and getting some inspiration from the wonderful pinterest.com! I wish I had more time to be crafty because I LOVE IT so much!! It’s so relaxing and theraputic for me!
The very first time I met Allison several years back, I was instantly struck by her charming personality. So loving, sweet, sincere and funny! She’s one of those people you truly just ENJOY being around. She’s so thankful for everything you do for her, so positive. The list goes on and on. Anyone who knows her, knows exactly what I’m talking about! Having this party for Allison brought us so much happiness! We are thrilled for the arrival of Henry and James! They are going to be such handsome little boys!

Reid finished up his final “Grow With Me” session this past Tuesday! It was kind of a funky day with the cloudy weather but we managed to get in a nice shoot, you couldn’t tell at all it was rainy :) I always have a great time wit his Mom, Sarah – we manage to find something to laugh about! I loved the fire engine outfit she had, the Reid monogrammed birthday shirt and the overalls! Precious! His little firetruck even made in a few photos! Thank you Reid for a wonderful year of photos!! :)
Here are some of my favs from his ONE YEAR session!
And the award goes to…. Newborn CLAIRE! hahaha! I’ve never had a newborn smile like Claire did. Yes, I may get one or two, but she seemed to smile throughout the entire session! She was warm and comfortable and totally hammed it up! Last week we had a really nice day so we had some fun and photographed her outdoors. She seemed most calm outside enjoying the nice weather. All I had to do was tickle her little cheeks and nose and she gave us a smile. It was the funniest thing – loved it! She is the newest member of the “Grow with Me”! I was sad a couple weeks ago because alot of my “GWM” kiddos were turning ONE and wrapping up their last sessions with me. Just as past clients “graduate” from the program, I seem to get new ones come in, which is so awesome! I am so thankful ;) I already have some moms signing up for 18 month and 2 year sessions now that their “GWM” time is over. Makes me feel good inside!
I can’t wait to watch Claire grow up. You may remember her big brother Noah? I photographed him back in September and he is the cutest!! Great to be able to continue to capture memories for this family :)
Here’s some of my favs!
