I’ve been friends with Brekkin’s mom since college, and was so excited when she asked me to take his 1 year photos because I hadn’t seen him since he was a newborn in the hospital. Man, how things change! He was crawling all over the place, checking out the leaves (and the acorns, which were apparently delicious), and exploring all the fun stuff you find when you’re outside – so fun to watch! And how could you look at this face and not smile – isn’t he cute!?!

Just finishing up with the editing on this guys session, and I had to post a few.   I don’t know why, but I always get the babies with the rock-star hair.  Isaiah is no exception.  He may not have had the most hair, but I just love how wild it is!  You can’t tell in these photos, but he has the most beautiful eyes, too.  Might have to post some of those later, but here are a few sleepy ones for now.  And if you’ve followed my blog for very long, you can probably tell by now that I can’t get by without posting a macro shot and at least one black and white shot when it comes to newborns.  Didn’t want to disappoint.  :)

ETA: OK – I didn’t make it very long. Here is one with his eyes open. I just love his little smile here.

I photographed Mia around this same time last year, and this year she had a brand new little sister to bring with! Little sister Lauren is 2 months old, but we were still able to get a few sleepy photos along with some of her beautiful eyes. Just a few photos for now – I’m sure there will be more to come later when I finish up their gallery. Enjoy!

Just a couple more from Bennett’s session now that they are all edited. And I know the Vikes haven’t been doing very well, but I still love this first photo.

I was editing this little guys newborn pics and came across this one.   It was too cute not to share – more to come soon.

Julie + Dave (seen here) = Brynn!  She was born on her due date – the fourth of July, an awesome time to be born (and I’m not just saying that because we almost share a birthday).  She was another tiny newbie for me – my smallest diaper cover was falling off of her tiny little butt – LOL!   She was a dream for our entire session.  When she fell asleep, she was out cold, and we were able to get a lot of sleepy shots and some awake ones, too.  Brynn’s nursery is decorated in the pottery barn Brooke theme, which has some cute owls (my daughter is obsessed with owls, so I thought this was pretty awesome).  When I found out, I just had to get a matching girly knit owl hat for her newborn session.  :)  I have so many cute photos to share, but these are a few of my favorites.  Brynn is one of my first year plan babies, so I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of her soon.  :)

Doesn’t she have the most amazing long eyelashes!?!

Finally getting a chance to get caught up a little here!  Our AC went out during the hottest week this summer (110+ heat index), and we ended up moving out for a week instead of staying in our house, which was like a sauna.  I hate saunas.  Seriously.  Miserable.   The AC guy is here putting in a new unit right now.  I’m doing a little happy dance.  Not that I didn’t love staying at my parents for the week (thanks mom and dad!), but it sure is nice to be back home and get some work done.

The week before we left, I had a session with this cutie for her four month photos.  Stella is seriously one of the cutest babies I have ever seen!  And I’m not sure if it was me or the teething, but she was sticking her little tongue out at me most of the time.  I tried not to take it personally.  :)

I had a great time meeting you guys, and I hope you enjoy your photos!

I’ve been working on editing these photos from last weekend, and just had to post a few.  Is she not one of the most beautiful babies you have ever seen!?!  Little Leela was just 7 days old when we did her newborn photos.  I can’t get over her awesome hair.  I was bald until I was two years old (it’s true – I’ve seen the pics), so it always floors me when babies have this much hair.   Leela is one of my first year babies, so I’m sure you’ll be seeing a lot more of her throughout the year.

A beautiful name to match a beautiful little face.   Arybella is such a pretty baby, and she gave me a lot of serious looks, but a lot of smiles, too.  I absolutely LOVED her dresses, and I had a great time meeting her, her mom, and grandma while taking her 3 month photos.  Arybella is one of my 1st year babies, so I’m sure you’ll be seeing a lot more of her throughout the year.  

I have to start out by saying that this was one of my most favorite sessions ever!  We had so much fun – Julie was a rockstar and up for anything, which meant that I got to try a lot of fun, new things as far as posing and lighting went, and we ended up with a ton of variety.  Only showing a few here, but expect more to pop up on the website in the near future.  :)

A big thanks to Julie’s mom, Sue, for buying Julie and Dave a gift certificate for the maternity session and my first year package.  It’s been so nice talking to Sue, and I’m really glad she introduced me to Julie and Dave – you guys are awesome, and I’m so glad that I’ll get to work with you throughout the year!  Can’t wait to meet your baby girl!  :)
