Estelle {9 days.}

Sweet little Estelle was just perfect to work with, so sleepy and snuggly... just an ideal newborn, and what a beautiful name! I first met this cute family back when big sister was turning one, and now she is just about two. I love watching families grow, it's just the sweetest thing. Congrats, she is beyond gorgeous.
It has been a very busy week full of newborn and maternity sessions, it's no secret newborn sessions are my favorite... so I am in a bit of heaven.

Rilynne {7days}

This family has been anxiously waiting for this baby girl to enter into their lives, and they are most deserving of her love. Words don't express the love that you can feel in their home as they interact with their sweet daughter. I was honored to capture these priceless moments of our good friends, as they welcomed the newest member of their family!

Merritt {18months}

Oh, this little guy is just the cutest! He was full of smiles and giggles despite the nasty coooold weather, what a sport! After a trip to warm up in his car, he was again back to his insanely sweet smiles! He even had a crew to come make him laugh, including both Grandmas... what a lucky guy! How can you not just love that little grin?

jolie {5 days new}

I first met this sweet family when big sister was the same age as tiny Jolie, just a few days old. It has been so much fun watching them grow along the way! Congrats guys, she is just as gorgeous as her big sis.

baby mason {8 weeks}

I love the name Mason, I have two newphews with the same name, they both just steal your heart away. Little Mason was beyond perfect, he was alert as ever... and gave me perfect eye contact, couldn't ask for much more! Even better? Daddy is a fireman, so we got to use some fun props. What a beautiful baby boy!

We tried so hard to fit him into the helmet... maybe if we tried 7 weeks earlier, we would have been a little more successful, nonetheless.. I fell in love with this shot. Future fireman?

{ode to karlie... and her big brother}

there is just no possible way you were ever able to forget my sweet baby neice, karlie. she graced this blog so well back in april 09...

remember now? simply gorgeous, and nothing changed... eight months later:





now to the smartest little 2 year old I know, who also happens to be one of my super cute nephews, here's "studly" mason, "sweatheart" karlie's big brother:






karlie and her beautiful momma:

one of the whole family

I had to share this image: my sweet boy asked if he could come along to help mason and karlie giggle at the camera, here he is "babysitting" karlie while I photograph just mom and dad. Cute, ah? In his words, "Mom, I think I should come every time you take pictures, I'm really good at it!"


Thanks for looking!
