Archive for Kids

My good friend Kylie called me to see if I was available to do a family session while she was in Astoria vacationing with her family. Of course I jumped at the opportunity since I rarely see her (she lives about 9 hours away). Since Mondays are my day “off” I grabbed a good friend, my kiddos, and packed up the van for the beach!

After the session I took the kiddos out to the beach for some fun and then hit up an ice cream store on our way out. I’ve always wanted pictures of my kiddos eating ice cream cones, so it was quite fun to capture.

THIS is what summer is about!

is this not the cutest shop??!!!

icsb2D totally downed his entire cone and sat there after the other kids were finished. He was completely covered with ice cream by the time he was finished!

and many thanks to my good friend Lindsay for helping me with the kids! I couldn’t have done it without you, girl!

My baby girl is turning seven on Friday.

I can’t even believe that much time has passed since she came into this world and changed my life forever. She so much like me in so many ways, yet so much like so many other people in our family. She has her daddy’s wits, her grandpa’s brown eyes, her nana’s looks, her mama’s crazy personality, her grandma’s creativity, and her papa’s sense of humor.

She’s the reason I got started in photography and she is still my favorite subject. Although nowadays her ideas are always better than mine. For this session I just let her do her own thing.

She is an amazing little girl.

Happy Birthday Miss K.

I hope you get everything that’s on your list!!!

(and yes, she does read my blog. She’s cute like that)

I’ve been photographing little “E” since he was in his mama’s tummy. He’s such a delight to photograph and it’s always fun getting to see him and his mom every time we have a session. His mom is pregnant again and I’m so excited because she’s asked me to photograph the birth!! I’ve never done birth photography before so it will be a great experience. Since she’s not due for a few more months, my excitement will have to wait.

Here’s a few of “E” and his biker outfit. He’s such a tough little man!!

I had the pleasure of photographing this little guy in his first few days of life (can be seen here), now three months later his blonde hair and blue eyes are mirror images of his sisters. These cuties were sweetly happy and a lot of fun play with.  These sessions with little ones always moves me as I see the true beauty of God at work.  Thanks for choosing me to catch these precious moments.
I’m extremely grateful to be able to do what I love so much.
I hope you enjoy your preview!

You might remember this handsome young man from his newborn session here or from his six month session. I can’t believe he’s grown up so fast. His mama and I are great friends and we often take our boys to the park to play together. My littlest guy is just a few months older than “B.” I had so much fun doing his pictures!

Thanks Bri for being such a great friend and a great mama to this wonderful little guy. And thanks Mr. B for letting me steal your wife to hang out!

okay seriously can’t resist this little face. How cute is he?!!!
