Sweet Baby "C"

So I met the most adorable little baby today. He was very pleasant, too, despite the fact he was tired. He loves to play with his toes and he was blabbering away telling me all sorts of stories. If only I knew what he was saying. Here is baby "C" with his parents. What a CUTE family!! I love seeing a new family together. It's days like this that reminds me why I love my job so much!! To capture these moments for this family to treasure forever. Melts my heart.

The "J" Family

There are times in your life when you meet someone and you know it was fate. Today was one of those days. Jennifer and her beautiful family came to me for updated family portraits. I don't think I've ever had so much fun on a shoot! She has the most handsome boys with the most adorable smiles. I fell in love. Her husband had me in tears from laughing. I could just see and feel the love this family had for one another. It's not every day you see a family so close. It's very refreshing. Jennifer and I talk almost daily now. I can honestly call her a true friend. I'd like you to meet the family that stole my heart.....

Country Sweethearts

Today's adventure was with Maddy and Ty at my Uncles farm. It was really a lot of fun. My Uncle brought out his tractor as a prop and the kids LOVED getting to sit on it and play around for a bit. And I had some old fashioned fishing poles made up with a stick and some twine. Little Ty really took it seriously thinking he was really going to catch a fish. Too cute.
Might I say that while Mr. Ty was more interested in playing in the dirt and with his puppy (although I did get some cute shots of him) his sister Maddy was a great little model. Her piercing blue eyes had me mesmerized. I asked her if she ever got tired of people telling her how beautiful her eyes are, "sometimes" she replied with a grin.
I had taken some gummy fruit snacks and juice boxes with me for after the kids were done with their pictures, and good thing I did because poor Mr. Ty wasn't having any pictures until he got fed, hahahaha. Which brought the parents and I into a conversation about how much kids eat. Once he ate we were good to go again with more pictures. It was so hard to pick my favorites, but here are a few. Enjoy!!

Curiosity

One of the things I love most about being a Mother AND a Photographer is being able to not only watch my children grow, explore and discover the world around them, but to be able to capture it as a keepsake. For myself. For them. For our future generations. It's the little things. The little details, as I've talked about before. Those things that can be so easily overlooked and forgotten. Yesterday was my oldest son, Samuel's, first encounter with a grass hopper. For us, as adults, it's not a big deal. For a child it's a very big deal. They say there is nothing new under the sun, but for a child EVERYTHING is new. Exciting. An adventure. I love how full my boys are of curiosity about the world around them. Never fails to amaze me.

Ballet Beauty

Miss Madison recently had a ballet recital and we thought it would be fun to do her dance portraits outdoors for a little something different. What a blast!! :)

Baby Cruz....3 Weeks New

How can you not fall in love with this little cutie?? This was my first newborn session and I was so excited, yet so nervous. I think he must have sensed my nervousness and fed off of it. I thought most babies slept 99% of the time at this age, but not this little guy. It took a few hours and a lot of feeding breaks to get him to finally calm down for 40 minutes so we could finally snap a few sleepy baby shots. Meet Mr. Cruz.

The Rodgers Family

Yet another beautiful family. I just never tire of capturing such special memories. And what a fun photo shoot, as well. Little Mr. Gage wasn't having anything to do with having his picture taken, but once Mama gave him is crayons, he didn't seem to care so much. And Ms. Morgan was a FANTASTIC model to say the least. Love, Love, Love this family!
