  • Kate :: Newborn

    A couple of weeks ago we welcomed the newest member into our family. My cousin Kelly had her third child… Katherine Amelia! She is cute as a button and we all can’t get over how much she looks like her older brother, Ben. Last week I went to visit and snap some photos of Sweet Kate. She did great! I love the photos of the 3 Kiddo’s together as well. There’s something about taking pictures of siblings at home. I’m always outdoors shooting in natural light, but I like the simplicity and comfy feeling of the kids with their little sister in bed.

    It’s still hard to believe that my cousin and her husband have brought 3 beautiful children into the world. Seems like yesterday that my brothers and all the cousins were running around as children ourselves…. filming magic shows and fake foldger’s coffee commercials! We had so much fun together!

    Here are some I loved from Kate’s session:

     

  • Julia :: Newborn

    Welcome to this big ole world, Julia!! She did wonderful for her newborn session last week. What a little beauty! She gave us some smiles too, which is always fun :) Looking forward to watching this princess grow over the upcoming year. She is cousins with Josie, another cutie that I photograph! Thankful for word of mouth recommendations, I’ve been advertisement free for over a year now. Very grateful for the referrals :)

    Here are some that I loved:

  • Annie :: Newborn

    I am loving these images of newborn Annie. She was so sweet and cuddly on the day of her session. I’ve photographed her older sister, Caroline as well – so I was happy when big sister jumped in for a few. Overall, it was a nice relaxing morning. After the indoor shots, we were able to soak up some sun outdoors and Annie drifted fast asleep again. That’s always the best, then I’m able to move them in fun little positions. While Mom, Elizabeth took breaks to feed Annie  – I read children’s books to Caroline. She is so smart, it made me smile. She just sat next to me and practically read the books to me! This is another perk to my job – being able to form relationships with my clients. Our shoots become so stress free and we are able to get some really great pictures.

    Here are some of my favorites from little Miss Annie:

  • Ryan :: Newborn

    Who remembers the Maternity session that I photographed of Baby Ryan’s parents? It was a big surprise whether it was going to be a boy or a girl! Well little Ryan is here and his parents are happy as can be :) I loved spending time with this little man last week, he is just adorable! Thank you Stephen and Heidi for allowing me to capture this time in your life! You will be seeing lots more of Ryan in the upcoming months, I can’t wait for his 3 month session :)

    Here are my favs:

  • Drew :: Newborn

    Our friends David and Ashley welcomed their 2nd daughter Drew Vivian into the world last month. Drew is about 5-6 weeks in these photos, but she came early so she is still tiny :) You may remember Drew’s sister Sophia? I photographed her last year for her 1 year portraits. Looking forward to watching Sophia and Drew grow up with that special sister bond. It’s always exciting when someone close to me has a baby! Here are a few shots that I loved from our little mini session last week:
