Miller Kate is on the way!

August 29, 2012

Fall is on the way! Know how I know this? Because yesterday I did a maternity session for someone whose little one is due late October…and if the maternity session is happening, then Fall is right around the corner! I had such fun with this sweet family. Ashley, Stafford, and big sister Graycen are all so excited about the new little girl that’s about to join their family soon! Little Miller is going to be a part of our Little Gifts Newborn Club so look to see her sweet face gracing this blog several times over the next year. I am so excited for you guys! Can’t wait for her to get here soon. I hope you love your sneak peek! 🙂

Natalie and her family!

August 27, 2012

It’s been about 8 months since I have seen this beautiful girl…last time I saw her she was only days old! Now she is sitting, smiling, laughing and crawling everywhere! And, she is still absolutely gorgeous! We woke up on Saturday morning to an unanticipated rain shower, and so became the big question of my life as a photographer: cancel, reschedule or move ahead as planned?! It’s always so very hard to know what to do. Luckily, Natalie’s mom is super cool and flexible and was willing to move ahead since Natalie was bringing along her siblings who have busy lives of their own as a college sophomore, high school senior and an 8th grader! I’m so very glad we decided to work in the rain. Thank goodness for old cotton gins! You’d never know it from looking at these photos, but it was pouring down rain almost the entire time we were shooting! But, I love our results and this fun family for rolling with what we were dealt that day! So beautiful and such a fun time! 🙂

Love the colors and the love in these photos with Natalie’s family!

Brooks is One!

August 16, 2012

What a difference a year can make for two fun brothers! Here’s Brooks and Cohen 14 months ago:

And here they are today!

Love, love, love these two cute little guys! We had fun last night chasing them around and seeing their cute interactions with each other. And, their big eyes and sweet grins just melt my heart! I’m sad that yet another baby plan has come to an end for this fabulous little family. Thanks so much, Clark and Ashlee, for sharing your boys with me all these years! 🙂

Ty and Lizzie…

June 29, 2012

What a great way to end my “Spring” season with Ty and Lizzie! I take off the month of July and into the first part of August to be with my children and take some vacation time, so these two were my swan song for a couple of months! Great ending to a great season! I loved my time spent with these absolutely gorgeous little children! They have such sweet features and beautiful, expressive eyes! I loved Mr.Ty’s full out energy level! He kept me laughing and on my toes! 🙂 And, precious little Lizzie has the calmest spirit and adorable smile. Just loved it! Thank you, Jen, for sharing your children with me. Enjoy! 🙂

I just love these grins!! They were excited about some candy they were about to get for doing such a good job. hehe!

Lily is Sitting and Smiling!

June 29, 2012

I cannot believe how big Miss Lily is getting! Last time I saw her in March, she could barely hold herself up as a little 3 month old. And, now…this sweet girl is going after it! Lily will be 8 months old next week and is already crawling and standing on her own! What a big girl! She brought along big sister, Brianna, again. What a joy to photograph these sweet girls and capture who they are at this moment in their lives. I love watching them grow! Thanks for sharing these sweet girls with me! 🙂

Ellie Grace, Jackson and Charlie!

June 25, 2012

This precious family has grown by one little person since the last time I photographed them! Meet Ellie Grace, Jackson and newest little man Charlie! I just love this family! They are full of joy and laughter and excitement! They had nothing but smiles all night long for me and we had such fun! You never know what you might get with three children this young, but these three did SO good! And, I truly think it was because they truly love one another so very much. Thanks for coming to see me again, guys! I hope you love what you see here…more to come! 🙂

Love this grin!!

Lucas and John Richard…

June 25, 2012

Brothers are so much FUN!! I’ve had a sweet run with sisters recently, so it was a great change of pace to get to photograph a fun and charming set of brothers! Boys are such fun to photograph because they want to climb…on everything! They want to punch and wrestle…which I love because it makes for such fun photos! They also don’t care one bit about touching each other or coming anywhere near acting like they like one another! So funny! So, as the photographer, you embrace those moments and capture them as they are…fun, silly, and absolutely adorable! So enjoyed photographing these two boys and their parents. They are such a beautiful family! Enjoy your sneak peek…more to come soon! 🙂

Janet and Caitlin…

June 20, 2012

I love this idea! Janet is about to celebrate an important birthday milestone…a big one…but I’m not about to say which one! I bet you’d never guess it though, because Janet is looking FABULOUS!! As a birthday gift to herself, she decided to have some professional photographs taken of herself. She just completed an intense workout program and made significant accomplishments!! What better way to celebrate yourself! 🙂 And, to add to the fun, she brought along her daughter, Caitlin, and we spent the evening celebrating the special bond between mother and daughter. It doesn’t take long in their presence to see the love and devotion these two have toward one another. Thank you, Janet, for allowing me to spend time with you two! I hope you love your sneak peek!

Gorgeous Sisters, Benton and Brooke!

June 15, 2012

Meet Benton, age 7, and Brooke, age 3! I had the absolutely best time photographing these two beauties the other night. Seriously, they could not take a bad photo! We had such fun laughing, and giggling, and being silly together. I love that about my job…just being with the kids and having a ball doing what I do and coming up with portraits that I know the parents will love. They brought a change of clothes to the session, and it was almost as if we started over again with fresh spirits and smiles…as if the first 30 minutes in their white dresses didn’t produce enough goodness, right? I just adore everything about this session. Thank you, Meg, for sharing your girls with me. They are precious and beautiful, both inside and out! 🙂
