I have spent so much time in the past year with this family who has become so special to me and I’ve loved each moment of it!
From their maternity session on what seemed like the hottest day of the year last summer, to her newborn session and multiple growing up sessions…
There is almost nothing that makes my heart swell more than a family who cherishes photography, who knows the real “value” in it.
This family epitomizes those things!

Aly was a little timid at first and was happy to hang on to her Momma….

AAAAhhhh!!! I love this shot =)

How cute is she? 
She LOVED these petals =)

This shot was for her Daddy and I think it’s probably one of my favorite of her from all our sessions!
Shows off her sweetness and spunk all at once!

I was lucky enough to be in the delivery room when Camden was born and I remain totally enamored with him=)

From the time he was still in utero,
Anna and I were busily planning away for the sessions we would have for him… maternity, newborn, growing up…
I loved his {arrived!} session and now love this {growing up!} session just as much=)

Anna’s mother had saved these shoes that Anna’s brother wore as a baby… I fell in love with them instantly.

Cam’s Daddy is an avid golfer and we found some adorable items for his session!
you know, to keep the golf theme fresh and current =)

This banner was made by 62Cards and it worked out perfectly for his “FORE!” theme =)

Not overly thrilled about his drive landing in the sand trap but
of course he looks absolutely charming in his custom onesie!

Now that’s better – a straight shot to the pin from the fairway makes him a happy camper!
And seriously – could the argyle baby legs and plaid hat being any cuter and any more perfect for his day on the links?

 

Stay tuned to continue watching Camden grow up! 
We have some more great Golf plans in store!

Sessions with the G Family are always fun, no stress and I often leave with what end up being some of my top favorite images -
This session was no different!

Parker is a quick mover these days, but I think he is already proving he is going to be a great big brother!

Brittany & Pat are naturals in front of the camera – making my “work”, no work at all =)

Dumpsters make the most colorful and beautiful backdrops =)

Brittany looks amazing!

I mean seriously?  How adorable is he?

Thanks again G Family! 
I am so excited to find out if baby G is a boy or a girl and to meet them!

but to spend the afternoon with both his Grandmothers too =)
Garrett was the sweetest boy for his session =)
He was such a snuggle bug (which of course is always a plus for me!!)

He has the sweetest blonde eyelashes =)

Daddy’s a big fan of Star Wars, so they brought this ADORABLE yoda hat along…

I adore this photo!  It captures everything that matters and the emotion that goes a long with it. 
Love. Family. Connection. Affection. Contentment.

 

To the S Family -
Thank you for spending such precious family time with me! 
I hope you’ll always love these images!

Braxton is the happiest kiddo and totally on the move!
With kiddo’s like that, it’s all about the quick moments – a snuggle, a smile or a laugh. 
I love finding these mere second and capturing them for a lifetime!

He also happens to have the sweetest parents who were naturals in front of the camera!

and this family is right up there at the top of my list! 
Spending time with them is hardly work and brings me so much joy!
I mean really?  How could this face not make you happy?

and the “faux-hawk”… I could die of sweetness =)

This picture was not set up, in fact while shooting the family, both the dogs came over with their toys and positioned themselves this way. 
Looking back, I could not be happier that this happened as since our session sweet Jersey (on the right) has crossed over Rainbow’s Bridge. 

 

M Family -
Thank you so much for allowing me in your family and into your memories. 
I cherish our time together!

and this is certainly the case with the N Family =) 
Earlier this year I photographed Palmer’s {arrived!} session and was thrilled to be back for this 4 month {growing up!} session!

I adore the time I spend with this family and am so blessed to have them as clients friends!

Palmer is just as absolutely sweet as can be and even though the session was mostly about him,
 I love capturing at least a few with the whole family!! 
Watching him as he begins to change over his first year has been a blessing for me

 

Cannot wait to see you again in November =)

You may remember her from her first {growing up!} session and today she was back for her 8 month session
and brought along her whole family to join in on the fun!

Is this a gorgeous family or what? 

Alessandra taking a quick nibble of her sweet honorary auntie…

This set up was her sister’s idea and I think it’s beautiful!!

Speaking of big sisters… I adore this shot!!!

Our last few shots of the morning were these and I could barely choose a favorite from the lot of them! 
This pink on her was just perfect!!

I had a blast this morning with you all! 
I can’t believe next time we will be celebrating her first birthday!!!

This August weather has been a bear to schedule around – it’s been either too too hot or raining a lot this month!

Today was our third chance and it was a CHARM!
At just over 4mo’s William is already sitting which is just amazing to me!

LOVE LOVE LOVE how much babies love their toes =)

And of course, I am a total mush when it comes to Mama’s and the love they have for their babies…

Cutest little elfin…

The overcase skies opened to allow the most gorgeous light in this morning!

I had a blast seeing you this morning!
I am so looking forward to capturing William’s First Year with you =)

She has great genes. 
Her Momma is one of my sweetest friends and is one of the most beautiful women I know – both inside + out.
Beth has a heart that is so big and a smile to match it.
The love that pours out of her is just all encompassing and I am so blessed to be a recipient of it!

Beth and her beautiful family are no stranger to my camera.
We’ve done a maternity Session, a newborn Session + growing up sessions with Warren.
Personal images from an amazing vacation with her and two other girlfriends grace my hard drive waiting to be worked on
 and  this is currently my desktop image too!
 In fact, they are even front + center on my website’s splash page.

  
So after all of that…. I knew I shouldn’t be surprised to fall in love with Libby within mere moments of meeting her.
She was so sweet for me for her session. 
She slept and slept and slept and slept some more. 

She is delicate and perfect and as beautiful as her Mom already!
I can’t wait to watch her grow up to be just a lovely a person!

To the Rives family – I hope you love your sneak peek!
