This little man was SOOOOO stinking cute. His mama dressed him so handsome in his little golfer hat. He’s a part of my “lemondrop club” (three sessions within a year for baby growing up). This was his first session and I can’t wait to watch him grow up!!!
LOVE my job!!!
My middle son is four today. He’s quite the character and has the ability to make people smile. He gives the best hugs and crawls into my lap all the time just to “snuggle.” He’s also the most strong willed child out of our three and takes a bit extra time and care convincing him that he needs to be doing something else rather than what he’s set his mind to. 😉 You parents know what I’m talking about 😉 hehe.
He’s very into baseball and has recently taken to sleeping with his baseball glove and ball. Apparently they will get lost unless you bring them into bed 😉 He’s a collector of things and runs around with pez dispensers, his car collection, and now he’s working on collecting all things baseball related.
Happy birthday little man!!! I love you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much.
this is totally him. As fiesty as they get!! HAHAHA!!
It’s also the one I used on his birthday invitation. 😀
Being goofy in the studio.
CHA CHING!!! A nice, looking, smiling, not weird face photo.
Brilliant.
This little mister was just over a week old and “as cute as a bug’s ear” (that’s what my dad always used to say when something was super cute).
He was a good little sleeper and we were able to get a good variety of photos. It’s funny how I try so hard to get them to go to sleep yet the wide awake shots are sometimes my favorites. To get a newborn baby looking without crossed eyes is a feat in itself.
I can’t get over how many new babies there have been lately!!! How exciting!!
perfect.
LOVE this one!!
his mama was so excited to get this one!!! He’s just precious!

This little three year old girl became a big sister just 18 days prior to this photo session. They are both the most beautiful little girls and their parents are pretty good lookin as well. 😉
I had the absolute pleasure of photographing them OUTSIDE last week. Yes, I said outside. It’s a wonderful feeling, being outdoors again. I finally felt like I was “home” after all these months cooped up in the studio. It was a perfect day and I had a perfect family to photograph.
We finished the newborn portion of the session in the studio, of course, since it was about 50 degrees outdoors and getting baby to sleep outside just wasn’t going to happen on a day like that day. The adventure outdoors wore her out and we got lots of beautiful sleepy shots inside.
Thank you so much for letting me capture your memories. I truly love my job.
I don’t know why I love this one so much, but I do!
This little girl just had me in stitches with her personality!!
“daddy and me”
the family
“love you mama”
(FAVORITE…. would blow this one up huge if it were me and my babies)
precious baby girl with her mommy and daddy
okay seriously this little face just melts my heart…
look at those perfect little lips!!!
perfect little flower
Last week I read a story on one of my photographer friend’s blog that affected me more than I could have imagined. The photographer is Christy Lacy and the story was about a little girl named Layla Grace.
She is a little girl who is dying of cancer. She’s the same age as my youngest son. I can’t even begin to explain how reading her story saddens me.
The blog that her parents have made documenting their lives is here:
I normally don’t read about stories like these. It breaks my heart too much as a mama of young children. But for whatever reason this little girl has affected me tremendously. Layla’s time is very short. She may live a few more hours or a few more days but her body is shutting down and these are the last moments her family has with her.
Please join me in praying for comfort and peace for Layla and her family.
My heart breaks for them…
