These last few weeks have been crazy busy. I will be getting full blog posts up soon, but in the meantime, I thought I’d post some from the last week or so. More to come!

Warning: large over-sharing of pictures ahead. Claire just finished up her 1 year session. She’s one of my first year baby planners, so I’m sure you’ve seen lots of her over this past year, but incase you missed any, see the recap below. She is SUCH a happy baby. Even in her newborn photos I was getting some grins. I love her crazy hair (although it has tamed down a ton) and her big, happy smiles. It’s been so much fun to watch her grow up over this past year!

A collage of her newborn, 3 month, 6 month, and 9 month photos:

And from her one year session:

Grant was in for his 3/4 month session a few weeks back, and I wanted to try out some natural light shots. Perfect time to bust out a down blanket and some pillows that I had been wanting to use for a session. I love how they turned out! Grant’s newborn photos can be seen here – I couldn’t believe how much he had changed since the last time I saw him! We even caught him on camera rolling over for the first time – so sweet! Can’t wait to see what he’s up to at his next session.

Just had to post one quick one from Eero’s one year session. I love seeing how much babies change from their newborn photos to their one year photos. I totally wanted to talk him home with me – he’s such a little charmer. Just one photo for now, but will be posting more from his one year session soon!

I had the pleasure of taking Taylor’s 3 month photos back at the tail end of December. First thing I said – “look at all that hair!”. OK, maybe not the first thing I said because I really can’t remember what I said a month ago, but I’m pretty sure that came up in conversation at some point. This girl has some awesome hair, and she is so cute! Her nursery is decorated with lambs, so mom and dad brought some stuffed animals with to incorporate into a few of her pictures. I’m so glad they did – I just love the one of her surrounded by all her “friends”. She’s one of my first year baby planners, so I kinda’ want to get this photo with her lambs done at each session to really see how much she’s changed.

Chan and Kellie – I had a great time meeting you guys! I can’t wait to see what she’s up to at her 6 month session.

A couple of weeks ago I photographed a little newbie named Greyson. LOVE that name! I had a great time hanging out with his mom and dad while we took his newborn photos, and I think we set a new record. He slept the entire time – didn’t even wake up to eat! Out of all of the newborns I’ve photographed, that might a first. I have so many favorites from this session that I couldn’t just pick one or two to post. I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of him soon – he’s one of my first year babies, so he’ll be back a few times throughout the year. I think we need to put him in this nest again at 1 year and see how he fits in it then.

Danielle and Sean – I had a great time meeting you guys! I hope you enjoy your photos!

A few weeks ago I met up again with Arybella and her mom for Arybella’s 9 month photos.  She’s becoming a blondie!  You can see her 3 month photos here and her 6 month photos here.  So fun to see how much they change in that first year.  This girl always makes me work for some smiles, but I love her serious looks, too.  She’s pretty much adorable no matter what she does.  :)

Early in December I had the chance to meet up with Ellie and her family again. Last time I saw her was a little over a year ago. Her 1 year photos can be seen here – I still have that photo as a canvas hanging in the studio. She’s got a little more hair this time, and is cute as ever! I just LOVE her big smile, and had to post one to share here with everyone. Enjoy!

I met up with Brynn for her second session (her newborn photos can be seen here) at four months old.   She is still a peanut, but man, this kid is totally adorable!   Poor girl wasn’t feeling very good, but you can see form the photos that we were able to get a couple of smiles in with the more serious looks she was giving me (the get-that-camera-out-of-my-face-and-give-me-my-tylenol-and-blankie looks, as I like to call them).   I think my favorite photos from our entire session were the ones where she was just quietly resting in mom or dads arms.  Nothing seemed to make her happier, and you can tell Julie and Dave are just smitten with her.   Can’t say I blame them.

Grab yourself a drink and some popcorn – this is going to be a long post. I met Angela and Justin in August 2010 when they contacted me about doing maternity photos. I had never done a maternity session before at that point, so I was pretty excited to try something new. Angela was stunning, and these are still some of my favorite maternity photos. Fast forward a month later and Harrison was born – one of the cutest little guys you’ll ever meet! I still remember his newborn session very well – he was happy, but that boy did NOT want to sleep. Justin went out and got us some dinner (since we seemed to be in this for the long haul), and Harrison decided to pass out as we were taking a break. Once he fell asleep he was OUT. I’m not sure if I’ve ever had another baby sleep quite as soundly as he did. He turned into a squishy little ball of sleepy baby and we were able to get some awesome photos!

Next time I saw Harrison he was 6 months. Sitting up and all smiles. You’ve probably seen photos from his 6 month session posted all over my website because he was just so happy and full of great expressions – I had a lot of favorites. Fast forward another 6 months and I was taking Harrison’s 1 year photos already! He was on the move, and checking everything out. Still cute as ever, and his mom has THE best taste in clothes for him – I just love his outfits! Another awesome session, and hopefully there will be more to come in the future. I’ve had a great time working with you guys and watching Harrison grow up throughout the year. He just keeps getting cuter and cuter!

Enough talking – here are some photos! A couple of my favorites from each session. Enjoy!
