This next sweet session was full of gorgeous sunshine, smiles, and searching for butterflies in a colorful secret garden!  And the family was even sweeter, with the two most adorable sisters, Ava and Audrey.  I had the honor of photographing Audrey when she was just 5 days new!  They are excited about the arrival of their newest family member in just a few short weeks!  We spent the warm summer morning getting some portraits that I can’t wait to share!  So excited for your family, Jason and Jessica!  Ava and Audrey will be the best big sisters!!!  And now for some of my many favorites!

Earlier this Spring, we learned that we’d be expecting a new addition to our family!  We let Remington in on the news right away, because we know that with a new baby comes some big changes and periods of adjustment.  Santa Claus will be pretty busy this season… Our due date is 12/25/15!  We had a perfect summer night to capture this exciting time!  On Monday, we found out if we’ll be decorating the nursery with pink or blue!  Keep reading! 😉

Six years ago, they danced for the first time as husband and wife in historic Fountain Square as family and friends watched them, listening to a song that quickly became a favorite of mine too.  Lucky.  And that’s how I felt having this sweet couple and their beautiful daughter, Megan, in front of my camera again.

Matt’s “instant crush” on Liliana turned into something so special and so very beautiful.  Their connection is palpable, fun-loving, and oh so sweet to witness!  You’ll see for yourselves in just a minute!

When Liliana contacted me about photographing their anniversary, I was beyond thrilled! Liliana planned every detail of their bohemian styled anniversary, including making their adorable teepee herself!  (And she later gifted it to me as we said our goodbyes!) We started at their home with some family photos and some photos to remember their home.  The home they shared as newlyweds.  The home they brought their sweet daughter to when she was born and grew into the adorable little lady she is now.  It was a  bittersweet shoot… After all, this couple’s wedding was my very first on my own, and I still remember the feeling I that day and long after arriving home, both exhausted and exhilarated in the best possible way, at having the honor of capturing their special day.  A few days after our session, this warm and genuine family moved to sunny Arizona.  I’ve always wanted to see the desert, so maybe we’ll have to plan another anniversary session soon!  Before I get any more sappy, I am excited and honored to share some of my many, many favorites from our fun evening!  Happy Anniversary, Liliana and Matt!!!

Photographing this blue-eyed, curly-haired sweetheart is always such a treat!  Diana is 5 years old, full of wonder and personality, and the proud owner of some new furry friends that I had the honor to meet!     Diana was so excited for this portrait session!  I always have so many favorites because she is just so much fun to have in front of my camera!  And in blogging these, I realized I have yet to blog her holiday portraits after sharing some on Facebook after her session!  So we’re in for a double dose of this little beauty!  Happy Monday!

Oh what a magical session this was!  Despite the chilly December weather, we worked quickly to get many gorgeous images of Diana in a princess dress!  Here are a few favorites of mine!

We had a lovely early summer evening for a portrait session of these two handsome brothers!  Please give a warm welcome to Eli (4 years old) and Riley (2 years old)!  They are completely adorable, which you’ll see for yourselves in just a moment!  I love their bright, sparkly eyes and their sweet personalities!  Eli enjoyed posing and hamming it up for the camera, while his younger brother was a little more shy and serious.  I was instantly smitten with both of them, and it is obvious that they are the best of friends!  It was a joy to meet them and their sweet parents, Brooke and Mike.  A huge thank you to a dear client of mine, Jenny, for sending another amazing family to me!  I’m so blessed and thankful to meet new and wonderful clients and friends through this job of mine!  And now for some favorites from our session!

And with this, my heart melted into a zillion pieces!  Another favorite!

Brooke, Mike, Eli, and Riley, it was so wonderful to meet you all!  Thank you so much for sharing your evening with me!  What an honor it was to photograph your adorable little guys!!!  Can’t wait to see you all again!
