Joyner Family

It was such a treat for me to meet up with my close friends the Joyners and their delicious little boy, Wesley. I did Katie and Greg's engagement pictures what seems like forever ago and while they are still the same crazy kids, they now have one of their own! Wesley is full of spunk and loves life- every day is a new adventure! I had so much fun playing with him and capturing that sly little smile and those big blue eyes. Katie and Greg, thanks for such a fun afternoon -enjoy the pics!

The Allman Family 2103

I love documenting big changes in a family's history. Especially a family I love so much! Sweet little Liza graced the world with her presence in March and I'm honestly not sure who is more happy to have her– mommy and daddy or big sister Lanier. I've never seen an older sibling be so tender and affectionate with a new baby as she is. I didn't even have to ask her to kiss the baby because it was all she wanted to do! Lauren and Daniel- I'm truly honored every time you invite me to document your beautiful growing family. You both have transitioned so naturally to a party of 4 and I'm glad I could preserve some of these first fleeting moments for you.

Hundley Family

I love capturing families during exciting new shifts in their lives. Life as they know it now, before another sweet baby boy enters their world. Before Weis becomes a protective big brother and gains a new BFF. You can practically see the excitement and anticipation in their eyes as they come closer to the next big change in their family history. It was a great day and although Wes was a busy little boy, we managed to capture some awesome shots of him being his fun and inquisitive self. And of course, Masheed looking like she stuffed a basketball under her tank top! I love the last set of images where she is looking so glamorous. She certainly wears pregnant well! 

Masheed and Scott, thank you for the opportunity to capture some of these fleeting moments of your family. Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy and welcoming Christian into your life!

Baby Elizabeth

As always with newborns, it was such a joy to capture this precious little sweetheart. Though newborn shoots are often the most challenging, their rewards are great! I loved capturing the way Lizzie curled up so tight and nestled into whatever blankets and props we put her into. I can tell she gets her cool and calm demeanor from her parents who were both so natural and relaxed throughout the shoot. One of my favorite shots is the one of the whole family on the bed, and baby E's legs levitating in the air. Stretch it out girl! Claire and Mark, it was an honor to be part of such an exciting new time in your lives. Can't wait to hear all about Lizzie's adventures as she grows and changes so quickly. Enjoy!

Baby Hudson

Baby Hudson is one of the cutest and cuddliest newborns I have shot yet! After working with this family for 3 hours, I can tell baby H gets his patience from his father. As soon as he got all comfy cozy, there I went poking and pulling his arms out to get him just the way I wanted him. After one or two tiny protests, Hudson would curl up real tight again and drift back off to dreamland. Such a sweetie! And mom and dad were glowing watching him- it is easy to see how positively in love they are with their little prince. Kate and Steve- it was my pleasure working with you guys and capturing these great images of your little boy. Enjoy!
 

Junker Family 2012

It was so great to meet the newest member of the Junker family- sweet Alexis! Last time I saw them, mommy was only a few weeks away from delivery. It is obvious how naturally they have all transitioned, especially Julian, who loves his baby sister so much. Alexis is a busy little ladybug, trying to keep up with him. Claudette, your family is so full of love and laughter. Thank you for allowing me to capture some precious memories for you guys!

Brezina Family

Another awesome Christmas shoot with one of my favorite families! Over the last five years, I have had the pleasure of watching the Brezina Family change and grow. The very first session I did with them was of their first born son, who was six months old at the time. Now, Gregory is practically a man! It is so sweet to see the way he looks up to his Dad and is so protective over his little sister. Patty, it is truly an honor to meet back up with you all every year. I love seeing you and capturing these sweet little moments of your adorable family!
