Category: Grow With Me

It was a pleasure getting to meet Caroline last week! She was so cute, cuddly and tiny! She slept for just about her entire session and did great with her positions! She was ready for her close up! Looking forward to watching this little princess grow and change over the next year! Can’t wait until next 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!

I am so thrilled to have new babies join the “Grow With Me” club! I feel like I’m always talking about this.. but it really makes me happy! To capture the first year of a child’s life is such an honor. I am reminded how blessed I am when I get the chance to meet new people and become their photographer. I can’t wait to watch Greyson grow over the next year. His mom, Laura laughed and said she has no clue how I do this? It’s weird, I have this calmness around kids and babies and my patience takes over. To be completely honest, there are several areas in my life where I have absolutely no patience! I guess everyone was put on this earth for different reasons, I’m thankful that photographing kids is one of the things that brings me joy.

I’m proud of myself for keeping up with my editing over the past couple of weeks, this time of year is REALLY hard to stay focused. I’ve been up since 6:45am making sure I am on track and everything that needs to get done today… gets done! I am looking forward to enjoying the next 3 days OFF with my family. This is such a special time of year! I’m headed out to get my nails done and finish Christmas shopping with my hubby, who took the day off! :) Oh, that’s one thing I really don’t have patience for…. Christmas shopping! I’m over it. We are all so blessed to have everything we could possibly need. One year I’m just going to make a donation to my favorite charity for each person I usually buy a gift for. That just seems to make more sense. On of these years…. I will do that ;)

Here are my favorite photos from Greyson’s newborn session!!! YAY!

Lot’s of yawns from this little fella! :)Newborn fresh baby feet!! love.House divided?? HAHA!!

You may remember Madden’s parent’s Maternity session I just shot – Danny and Ashley are the cutest! I was so happy when they signed up for “Grow With Me” with their new little bundle of joy – MADDEN! He is so handsome! Danny and Ashley had some fun ideas for Madden’s newborn photos, I love some of the big scale images. We took these last Friday, it was a bit cool but we carried around my handy little space heater with us and it kept Madden warm. He’s so precious and I can’t wait to watch this little guy grow up over the upcoming year :)

Here are some that I loved:
