Mr. H | A Lifestyle Newborn Session

Where do I start with this one?! Mr. H has a special place in my heart, as he is my little nephew! Mom and Dad reached out to me during mom’s pregnancy to ask me to capture their maternity and newborn sessions…OF COURSE!! (Insert big, giant heart-eyes!!)

You might remember the gorgeous goddess-like mama-to-be from this post . Well, now their little one is with us and I was SO excited to spend some time with them and snuggle that new baby!!

Check out the precious Mr. H!

Mr. V | A Lifestyle Newborn Session

This family recently welcomed their second child and asked me to capture some moments with him. I was so thrilled, not only to do the session, but to meet this sweet little one and spend time with his awesome parents and big brother! They are all so sweet and I just had a great time with them!! Thank you, E family, for inviting me into your home to witness these beautiful moments!

The L Family | A Fall Family Session

I am a really lucky lady. Not only do I have a super cool job, but I get to work with amazing people. You may remember me posted about my cousin, Allison, last year. Well, I had the pleasure of working with her sweet family again this year! They chose a beautiful vineyard as their location, and it could not have been more stunning! They chose beautiful colors and little L was ALL smiles. It was such a great evening!

Mr. E | A Lifestyle Newborn Session

This family lovingly welcomed the sweet bundle of joy back in August and I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful Mr. E when he was just a week old. Mr. E was a dream, and big brother and sister are huge helpers. I am so thankful I was able to witness all this love!

Shelby + O | A Mother Daughter Session

Shelby and I have a unique relationship. We met because she cared for my youngest for nearly four years. It’s not easy to place your trust in someone else to look after your child, but Shelby always made sure to put Gray’s best interests first. For that, I will be forever thankful.

Shelby now has a little one of her own! I had the pleasure of capturing their special connection in honor of Miss O’s second birthday! We had a beautiful day for it, and O was a trooper, despite feeling sleepy near the end. We were able to get some really great shots and I am SO glad we had the chance to do this!

The D Family | A New Family Session

The precious D family came to me shortly after the birth of their new daughter. It was their first session as a family of four! How beautiful is this family?! Big sis was so sweet and eager to help. I had such a great time with these four!

The M Boys

I had a nice fall session scheduled with this mom and two boys. Normally, in October, we deal with some cool temps, maybe even some rain. Well, not this day. On this particular day, it was HOT. Mom had chosen some really cute outfits, complete with button-ups, sweaters, and cords…not knowing it would be a whopping 90 degrees. OOPS! We did grab some shots of the boys in their dressier outfits, but we ALSO let them cool off in their pretty sweet t-shirts, too. Win-win! Of course, I made mom get in a few frames, too. Moms…you will NEVER regret having pics with your kids!!!

Baby N | A Lifestyle Newborn Session

Mr. N made his debut into the world right after mom, Blair, squeezed in her maternity session. Thanks for waiting, N! Once mom, dad, and baby were all settled in at home, I spent some time with them, doing a lifestyle newborn session. His little sleeping self was SO precious. Not to mention…THAT HAIR!!!! I couldn’t even. Check out these images from this sweet session!

The S Family | A Winter Session

The S family is seriously awesome. I have known them for about 13 years and had the pleasure of capturing their family pictures since 2008. Watching them grow is pretty amazing. Each year is as unique and special as their relationship. I LOVE these people right here.

The M Children | A Fall Session

These three kiddos were SO much fun to work with. They each had their own ideas for the session and I loved it! Mom was going to sit this one out, but the kids and I convinced her to get in the frame. Moms…GET IN THE PICTURE!! They’re only little for a short time. You will NEVER regret having those memories. Even if it’s just a shot or two…DO IT!!

The A Family | A Fall Family Session

Fall can provide a gorgeous backdrop for photography, and this family session was no exception. The A’s were so much fun! I loved being able to watch the boys play, and getting to know mom and dad. We had an absolutely perfect day, too! Here is a glimpse into our time together! Thank you, A family, for choosing me to capture you!

Miss G

I have had the opportunity to photograph this brave, adventurous young lady since she was just nine months old. I can't begin to tell you how amazing it is to watch these little ones grow up. The time is so fleeting and they change SO much from year to year...being able to capture these moments is priceless.

The S Family | A Fall Family Session

I am admittedly very behind on my blogging, but since I have an all-new, start-from-scratch blog, maybe it's not a bad thing ;-)

Last fall, I was able to photograph the beautiful S family! Not only are they incredibly good-looking, they're also pretty awesome people. <3
