I was so excited to re-connect with these boy's mom, I went to high school with her and haven't seen her since! It was great to visit for a bit, and meet her adorable family... their two boys are just the cutest. They have the most gorgeous blue eyes, and sweetest little personalities! Having two toddlers is no easy task, I have been there, but these guys were pros at keeping it all together!

my little lady.

As you can imagine, my own kids are in front of my lens, probably too often. But I rarely get the chance to sit down and spend time going through and editing them. I had to just peak at a few I took today of my sweet baby girl, Avery. She will be three in June, so technically she really isn't a baby anymore, and she is proving this to me, constantly. Like today, while eating lunch, she leaned over, "Momma I want to tell you something in your ear." I leaned in, and she whispered so soft, "I loooove you." She just melts my heart, simple as that.

A lot has happened since I last saw Miss Kendall , she has grown just a bit and is almost mobile! She has the most gorgeous blue eyes and will be sure to break a heart or two in the next few years... if she hasn't already?

hapy valentines day

a few of my cute litte valentines, oh, how i love them.
hope you spend the day with those you love.

here comes the sun...

{doo ta doo doo}
I looooove this weather! It has been so nice to sneak outside on sessions and actually work with the sun! It's been a while! We definitely got lucky with this session, it was probably the warmest it has been since October... at least. It was oh, so lovely. I got even more excited when I met these super cute parents to be, they are so excited to meet their new little one in the next few weeks. They are having the gender be a surprise, which I think is so fun! I'm just not sure I could ever do it! So here's my guess, I think they will have a {drum roll, please} a boy.. keep in mind I was wrong with the guesses of my two babes! We will just have to find out in the next few weeks!

what a fun idea, right? all credit goes to this momma to be... she came all prepared with balloon in hand!





Thanks for looking!

a few in color.

I just finished sweet baby Estelle's gallery tonight and thought I'd share just a few more... I typically use this brighter green backdrop specifically for black and white images (it leaves an awesome contrast) and stick to the softer, calmer colors with newborns but I had to throw these out there! I kinda like this pop of color.

i love this cute little face, my babies used to make it all the time, an we just loved it!

Collin. {14 days}

This guy was just itty bitty, a whopping 5 and a half pounds! He came a bit early but is healthy and just the sweetest thing. He was so sleepy and just fun to work with, such a good little model and made the cutest sounds as we moved him around! He is welcomed by a very loving family, including a big sister who adores her little brother already. Meet Collin...


Collin's dad served our country in Afghanistan, he is already proud of his daddy.. as is the rest of our country!

I believe this is the 5th time I have photographed little Miss Heidi, I first met her back when she was just 5 days old... and now she has already celebrated her first birthday! What a cute girl she is too.. as soon as she saw that camera in her face the super sweet grins came out and she rocked the entire session. In fact, I couldn't believe my eyes when I glanced at the clock as the session ended... 3 outfit changes, indoors/outdoors.. all in 35 minutes! She was just the happiest baby, and we just bounced from idea to idea with no interruptions! Happy birthday (a little belated) little girl, it has been sooo much fun following you along your first year of life!

behind.

I really try and get galleries done within 2-3 weeks of the session, however, for whatever reason... I got behind... so I am posting preview number two for this family who has waited longer than three weeks to see their gallery! Besides, they are just completly adorable.. and I need an excuse. Your gallery will be up tonight, and hopefully I'm back on schedule. Thanks for your patience.

It's such a sweet thing walking into a home where a newborn has just entered into a families life. I love the feeling. Especially when I am able to photograph the family, when they are expecting.. I get to see their anticipation, and then to see them when they finally get to cuddle that sweet newborn. Ah, life is a sweet, sweet thing. Nothing else quite like it! Little Colby, such a snuggler, and had the most plump little newborn lips... he's going to be a charmer, for sure.

I love doing sessions for other photographers! When I showed up at this session I had a list waiting for me with plenty of ideas. Had a great time! Wow, I'm tellin ya.. babies babies everywhere! I'm so not complaining!
