It was a pleasure meeting Baby Ryan and his family for his at-home session. It’s clear that the whole family is in love with their newest member, and I think the feeling is mutual seeing how Ryan lovingly stared at his family - especially Mama! By the end of our session, he was sleepy and settled, so we were able to do a “froggy” pose to match the framed newborn photo of big sis Mary.
Welcome to the world, Ryan!
Aiden was perfect for his at-home newborn session. I loved the beautiful neutral palette of his family home as a backdrop. After snuggling with Mommy and Daddy for some candid lifestyle shots, Aiden got snug as a bug for his styled portraits. He gave me several smiles as he drifted off to dreamland.
Baby Aiden is the missing piece to his family. He slept sweetly for his in-home session, which featured a mix of styled and posed images, and some with his two big sisters. He is such a blessed little guy to have two little bonus mommies to love and care for him - (three if you count “fur sissy” Ruth, who I can tell is equally as proud). I could not get enough of this little man and his smiles - complete with a dimple!
It was so fun to capture Nico and his sweet parents in his beautiful nursery. His parents did not know if they were having a boy or a girl, so they opted for a gorgeous green and neutral room, that they could easily enhance with little touches for their little one. The only gender-specific thing they purchased ahead of time was a Little Dude shirt (a nod to mama’s maiden name), and their intuition was correct! Their little boy arrived on April 3rd.
Nico was active, but pleasant, throughout his session. Giving me so many smiles, direct eye contact, and hand movements. And his handsome head of hair was so very precious. I can’t wait to work with him again throughout his first year!
You, Me, and The Boys…
That’s the sign that hangs in the B Family’s home.
When they were expecting Baby #4, they decided to let the gender be a surprise. Although they’d be just as happy with a baby girl, Mama felt just a tinge of sadness thinking that the sign might come down. Sure enough, they got their 4th sweet baby boy to complete their family. Thus, the sign at the center of their home will stay, as if it were always meant to be.
I also loved Baby Kane’s onesies in memory of the special angels that watch over him from heaven.
This is ONE cool dude. I was so excited to meet Eli and his family for this gnarly session at North Park. From the straight brim hat to the micro Vans, this guy was decked out in skater style, ending his session in the cutest checkered suspenders for his cake smash. He was so squishy and adorable!
Happy 1st Birthday, Eli!
I had so much fun capturing these sweet brothers! I just love their cool and casual style. Both sweethearts had fallen asleep in the car on the way to their session, so it took some dinosaurs and music to warm them up, but once they did, they had the sweetest smiles as the setting sun glowed through their ginger hair. Simply adorable!
This boy has stolen my heart!
Sawyer and his big sisters hung out with me on the hottest day of the year for his First Birthday Session, but it was his sweet giggles that truly had me melting . These little mommies were so very attentive to their baby brother, and helped me to get his attention and make him laugh.
Between the laughter, love, and smiles, Sawyer blew lots of raspberries, and played with his tootsies. It has been an honor to capture him for this exciting milestone. Happy Birthday, Sweet Boy! God bless you!
Walker is almost ONE!
This darling boy is my first outdoor session of 2023! It feels so good to be outside again, and the night of Walker’s session brought spring-like temps and warm, golden sunlight. The winter was long and slow for me this year, but sessions are finally booking up as the days grow longer. Photographing Walker and his mama was a great way to kick things off. For this session, they opted for all neutral colors, and rustic overalls, as his first birthday party is a farm themed “Holy Cow! Walker’s One!”. So fun!
I hope you have the best birthday party, Sweetheart! It was a pleasure meeting you!
Baby Nixon was the perfect bundle of joy to start off my year of newborns! Weighing in at nearly 10 lbs, and sporting such a perfect head of hair, he was an absolute sweetheart. After a few family shots, Nixon got cozy and warm, and slept for the remainder of his session like an angel. It was my pleasure to capture another sweet baby boy for the K Family!
I’ve had the pleasure of photographing William over the past year, as his family purchased the First Year Special package, which includes 3 sessions (newborn, baby, and first birthday) for the price of 2! Being that he’s a winter birthday, we captured his session in the comfort and warmth of his own home. We also included some family pictures, as my sessions are always customizable to whatever the client would like!
Thank you for allowing me to share in your first year, sweet William! Happy Birthday!
After two months in the NICU, sweet baby Sawyer is home where he belongs. There is no doubt he’ll be receiving a lot of loving from his family, including his two proud big sisters! For his session, we started in the family room, and then moved to his nursery, which features a gorgeous accent wall built by his daddy. The love in this family is positively overflowing, and I am so happy for them that they are now complete!
The Force is strong with this ONE.
I adore a good theme, and bonus points if Mommy and Daddy bring props! Atticus’ parents are big fans of Star Wars, as are their little guys, so bringing along some of their favorite toys was an easy way to enhance the photos, as well as keep Atticus engaged. In addition to this, his SUPER TALENTED mom made these costumes especially for the session. The most amazing part? They’re no-sew! She fashioned these masterpieces using only hot glue. Amazing!
Happy 1st Birthday, Atticus!
This Christmas Baby is halfway to ONE! William was so sweet for his at-home session. It was a sweltering July day, and he was happiest in his diaper! This man’s cute little tootsies definitely stole the show, as he enjoyed laying on his back in the perfect “happy baby” position. What an absolute joy he is!
Oh Franco! I just loved meeting you! This lil man was so sweet for his 1st birthday pictures. I’m a big fan of baby boys wearing classic looks, and Franco looked precious in his seersucker and knee socks! I wish him all the kisses, hugs, and happiness as he turns one - it’ll be an exciting year for this big-brother-to-be!
It feels so good to be shooting outside again! We had a beautiful evening for Omar’s First Birthday Session featuring some family pictures, as well. Omar could not have been any cuter, and his big brother too! I love a set of adorable brothers. They absolutely nailed their session, and were a great start to the spring photography season!
I’ve been lucky to photograph this sweet lil’ leprechaun over the past year. Enzo always brings the smiles at his sessions, and his First Birthday session was no exception. He was so cute and happy, and truly enjoyed his smash cake at the end - smashing it with both his hands and tootsies! Even big brother got in on the fun!
Look at those cute little chompers! I can’t believe this little man is one! I’ve enjoyed photographing him over the past year. For Holden’s First Birthday Session, we focused on some simple baby boy favorites; like his train, balloons, and his sweet backwards hat. Tiny details that are true to his personality, and perfectly commemorate this time in his childhood. You don’t necessarily need a lot of decorations and props to have adorable birthday pictures.
Christmas may be over, but the sweetest gift is still under the tree. Precious William was born on December 27th to his parents and big sister Charlotte. After celebrating Christmas Day, his parents went to the hospital on the 26th, and welcomed their sweet boy a day later. William’s birth follows the loss of another baby boy, so his parents wanted to honor his big brother by including this special wooden sign in his session; handpicked for Earth by my brother in heaven. William is his family’s “rainbow baby,” a term used to describe a baby born after the parents have suffered a loss. The term is derived from the notion that after the storm, the skies will clear, the sun will come out, and there will be a rainbow. I have no doubts that William’s big brother will always be with him throughout life.
My sweet, new nephew Leo joined us earth side on November 29th. He was quite alert for his session, but did give us a few sleepy moments, and even a smile. He is so loved, and I’m thrilled to be his aunt and personal photographer. Welcome to the world, Leo!
