Six Months Old

I got to hang out with Hadley Mae a couple weeks ago, for her six month shoot. Because of some rescheduling due to these dang winter illnesses, it was more like her seven month shoot. She is such a sweet little spitfire. I think she would've appreciated not seeing my camera at all, but she did warm up to me once I started shaking her awesome little dumbbell rattle around.

Her pictures were done in her home, the light was perfect- even had some sun poke through briefly. It was also fun to see some of my pictures on their walls (maternity, birth & newborn images). I always love seeing how clients display their photographs!

Welcome to the World, Jax

Even though my kids are young, it's still easy to forget how quick they change & how fast they grow. Jax was just a week old in his pictures; he seems so tiny, like my own could never have been that little. But they were; & not very long ago. It amazes me how fast they transform from this beautiful brand new bundle, into an active, curious little creature, ready to take on the world. Jax made his presence known loud & clear, right from the start. Greeted not only by two amazing parents, but also a big brother & big sister, he is one very lucky little dude. So much love for a such a deserving little one. Welcome to the world, Jax!

My Personal Favorites of 2012

2012 was a good year. There were ups & downs; lots of emotion- joy; sadness; it was a year to remember. The year we lost our Grandma Grace; the year we welcomed our baby girl, EllaGrace. I took pictures along the way. Here are some of my favorites from our year & here's looking to 2013, with smiles on our faces!

Paxton

Two months old already. What a fun age. Bright-eyed & ready to check out the world; smiling at silly expressions- delighting in his mom's sweet kisses. Welcome to the world Paxton, it was great to meet you on your trip home!

Welcome to the World, Cooper

The youngest of three boys. He will certainly be loved, protected & wrestled. & what a sweet, sweet boy~ Welcome to the world, sweet Cooper.

Maeve is One!

Maeve & Fiona's pictures centered around Maeve's first birthday, as well as my breastfeeding photo project. I absolutely loved going into their home, letting the girls show me their toys & watch them play, all the while documenting it with my camera. I've decided this is how indoor sessions should go for me- at the pace of the children, in their own environment, doing what they do. It's a good fit. Happy (belated) birthday Maeve~
