This session was my last session and also possibly my very favorite session of the year.  I’m not going to write much as it’s nearing midnight and I’m drained in the final stretch of the holiday rush… I’ll let the images speak for themselves.

Kathi and Sean, you and your gorgeous family are simply beautiful and really reel me back in and remind me why I got into this business in the first place.  Thank you.

I just loved this session!  Pretty red holiday dresses, pretty red hair, and just a bunch of sweet little girl smiles.  What a joy this family was to photograph.  I might have to ask their daughters to give my daughters some lessons. ;)

Enjoy your sneak peek!  I’m headed back to my cave like a busy little elf trying to get everyone’s holiday photos out on time!  Joy to the world!

A few weeks ago “Taylor’s Mom” contacted me about a Holiday Session for her family.  Taylor is my daughter’s BFF.  Sweetest thing ever = Taylor showed up wearing the “Best Friend” bracelet that Claire gave her earlier in the year.  When I showed Claire the photos and pointed out that Taylor was wearing the bracelet she tilted her head to the side and said “Awwwwwwww, I just *love* her.”  Haha!

Here you go, Talyor’s Mom and Dad.  Enjoy your sneak peek. :)

I met up with this *gorgeous* family last weekend for a Holiday Family Session.  These children are amongst the most beautiful children I’ve ever photographed.  I had such a blast and I hope they did too.  :)

We lucked out with some beautiful weather on a sunny fall day.  Literally as I was driving home the dark clouds were rolling in!

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!  Can’t wait to show you the rest.

Here’s my Molly!  She’s a whopping 16lbs at 11 weeks old and she is just full of joy.  Her daddy, her big sis, and myself just can’t get enough of her sweet face.  Had a free morning today so I decided to snap a few photos of her modeling a few things her Grandma Rose made for her.

P.s. I’m thinking about selling Molly snuggles…  five bucks a squeeze! ;)

First, lets start with a comparison…  9lbs vs. 16lbs

She reminds me of little bo peep in this bonnet.  I love it.

Day dreamin’…

She’s such a ham, she was giggling at me saying “you love MAMA!”

Not a fan of this headband.  Not to worry, Grandma Rose, *I* like it!

Sweet love.

Baby Jeggings.  The only thing sweeter than this is kittens in a bucket of syrup.

We headed out to a gorgeous new location tonight for a Mini Session with sweet Victoria.  I pretty much wanted to take her home with me!  She was such a ham.  Can’t wait to see you again V! :)

I met up with Kris and Mac and their two darling children last night.  They are in California on vacation and wanted to capture some photos of their adorable family hanging at he beach.  This was my first session back to work after my c-section and I was a little nervous.  Luckily their children were AMAZINGLY well behaved and I didn’t have to run around chasing them down like I do my own child.

Michael was a sweet boy, and just so joyful.  This was his first time at the beach and he just couldn’t stop playing with the sand.  I love that something as simple as sand can be so mesmerizing to a child.  Madeline was basically a photographer’s dream.  She loved to pose, but at the same time she was so *real*.  You can tell she’ll grow up to be a very genuine and passionate person, you can see it in her eyes.  Kris and Mac were super fun and so happy. It’s too bad they live half way across the country or I might make them be my friends. ;)

Thank you so much Kris and family for choosing me to photograph your beach trip!  I truly had a blast, you made my transition back into the working world so pleasant.  Enjoy your sneak peek…

i miss this sweet warm sun, sand between toes, beach hair, and… beach bums. ;)

After literally months of trying to find the perfect date, the perfect weather and the perfect location – we finally managed to complete the first Yellow Flower session of the year.  And it couldn’t have been with a better family!  These three sweeties were just a dream come true.  I was nervous about how I’d do physically, chasing three kids around now that I’m wildly pregnant and experiencing some pretty painful hips, ligaments, and all the other wonders of being in my third trimester.  But an amazing thing happened, there was no chasing involved!  There were smiles, flower picking, rock collecting, laughter, and just a jolly good time.

Thank you Tiffany and Alex for showing up with such darling children. Enjoy your sneak peek.  :)
