Baby Penelope

Got my last newborn snuggles in for this year with baby Penelope! What a sweetheart! This little peanut was happiest when in mom or dads arms- no surprise there! There's this look dads get when they stare down at their baby girl that just melts my heart. I know Penelope is going to love ruling her new kingdom!

Stephanie and Danny- thank you for inviting me to your home to capture these images of such an exciting time in your lives. Enjoy!

The Ricksgers Family

I'm so excited to share these images from this vibrant fall session. The colors are popping, the kids are laughing, even the dogs are looking sharp... this family nailed it! I love working with these twins cause they always try to act like they don't like each other but we all know they couldn't live without each other! 

Tracie and Matt- it was a pleasure meeting up with you guys on a gorgeous fall day. Thank you for trusting me to capture the spirit of your beautiful family!

Baby Charlie

Y'all, I can't even describe my excitement at sharing this post! It was truly an honor to capture one of my best friends and her brand new baby girl! Sweet Baby Charlie is welcomed with SO MUCH love. Her big bro, Whit (who happens to be one of my favorite 7 year olds ever!!) is just over the moon with his new baby sister, and she's already got Mom and Dad wrapped around those tiny adorable fingers. This girl is going to love her new position as ruler of the Prouty Kingdom! 

Heather and Richie- what a beautiful blessing! Can't wait for lots more Charlie snuggles very soon. Love you guys!

Baby Connor

One of the best parts about this job is witnessing the change that occurs in families as they grow. Parents become more relaxed, an only child becomes a big sister, dad's office becomes the playroom! All good stuff! Baby Connor was welcomed with so much love and it warms my heart to see that natural and immediate bond between siblings. I can already tell these two are going to be inseparable!

Erica and Adam, thank you for having me back to capture this beautiful and exciting new chapter in your lives. He is perfect!

Baby Thomas

The Brennans have been close family friends of our since high school so it is such a treat to be part of this exciting new chapter for them as they welcome their second baby and first little man into their family. Baby Thomas is a lucky boy to be welcomed by such awesome parents and the cutest big sis ever! I can already tell it won't be long before these two are inseparable. 

Kemper and Kevin- thank you for inviting me back to capture all this sweetness! Can't wait to get to know this little guy's personality better as he grows!

The Glynn Family

One of my most fun sessions of the year was with this precious family! I have to give this mom major props for abandoning her cozy Fall wardrobe plan and embracing our 90 degree Fall weather!  These girls were just too much fun... I could have taken pictures of their silly, goofy poses for hours! The final images are some of my favorites from this year- perfect color palette, perfect lighting and perfect smiles :) 

Erin and Jeff- it was such a treat working you you guys and your adorable girls. Enjoy!

Baby Frances

So excited to meet the third precious baby girl of this sweet family. Growing up with sisters all around, I know what a gift they are! My favorite part of this session was when baby Frances snuggled up so sweetly in her big sisters' laps and was completely unfazed by any noise or movement. That's a third child for you! 

Rebecca and John- Baby Frances is the most beautiful blessing and I wish you all the best as a family of five! 

Ryan is ONE!

It's so hard to believe I met this little cutie when he was only a few days old. Even then he was one of the handsomest little babies I have taken pictures of. As he's grown into a little man, he just keeps getting cuter! One year olds are full of wonder and zest for life- you can see that sparkle in his eyes. 

Jill and John, thank you for having me back to your beautiful home to capture these adorable images of Ryan's big milestone birthday. Most Photogenic family ever!

Alexandra 7 Months Old

One of my favorite sessions is the 6-8 Month Milestone because SO MUCH has happened since Mom and Dad brought their sleepy little newborn home. The baby of course has mastered so many new tricks like sitting up, clapping hands or chewing on their scrumptious little toes. The parents have settled in to their new routine and gained so much confidence. And even the home transforms, acquiring new colorful plastic bits of furniture! It's all part of the process. Sweet Alexandra was so proud to show me some of her new tricks, flashing that shy smile in between. She's a lucky girl to have inherited her mom's gorgeous lashes!  Throughout the session, I got the best smiles when she was in mom or dad's arms... can't blame her for that! 

Katie and Robert, thanks for having me back to capture the next big milestone for Alexandra, She is one gorgeous girl and I can't wait for her big Birthday shoot!

Baby James

One of the best parts of this job is getting to reunite with clients as their families grow and change and welcome new life! I especially love getting to watch the only child turn into a big brother or in this case, sister. That pure love siblings have for each other is just magical! Sweet baby James had my heart with that angelic soft skin and rosy cheeks. He already looks right at home with his mom and dad and big sis.

Ellen and Jim, thank you for inviting me to your beautiful home to capture these images of your new family of 4! You make it look easy :)

Baby Sidney

One of the perks of taking pictures of your best friends is being greeted at the door with a hug and a mimosa to get those creative juices flowing! I am SOOO excited to share these images of Sweet Sidney Sue. I love everything about these photos- the sweet colors and textures of the nursery, the genuine smiles on mom and dad's face, those chubby cheeks and soft angelic skin... THAT HAIR!  She's already taking after her momma with those gorgeous flowing locks.

Mandi and Jeff- It was so special to capture this new and exciting time in your lives. I hope these images bring you pure joy for years to come! Love you!

Cooper is ONE!

So excited to share this fun and colorful session of one of my favorite families! This little dude turned ONE and couldn't be prouder! As I wrapped up my editing, I was feeling nostalgic and went back to look at the first session I did with the Glass family. Big Brother Braxton was one of the tiniest, sleepiest newborns I had photographed. Now, you couldn't get either of these two wild and crazy boys to stay put if you tried (believe me, I tried!). I have loved seeing this family evolve over the last few years and seeing the bond between these two brothers is my favorite!

Nancy and Mike- thank you for yet another wonderful milestone session. Call me for 3#!!

Cooper is 8 Months Old!

The Glass family is one of my favorites because I've had the privilege of watching their two adorable boys grow up. It's so fun to see the changes that have taken place each time I see them. Braxton is the best big brother and Cooper could not get any cuter. Those eyes!! These two remind me of my 2 boys so I know Mike and Nancy are going to love seeing the brotherly love that develops. Can't wait to see Cooper as a big 1 year old!

Baby Alexandra

It was wonderful to meet the Block Family, especially their newest addition, sweet baby Alexandra. This little girl was super cuddly and cooperative. She must have liked me cause she gave me one of the biggest smiles I've ever seen! Although we did manage to capture a few with her eyes open, this snuggle bug was more content to cozy up in her mom or dad's arms... can't blame her for that!

Katie and Robert, thank you so much for inviting me to your home to capture this wonderful new beginning. Enjoy!
