This sweet family stole my heart during their session!  I’m so lucky to meet such wonderful people!  Brad and Rasmy are so kind and so genuine, and they’re the best parents to two adorable kiddos, 3 year old Alex and his sister Lily who’s 1!  Together, they are a happy-go-lucky bunch that love life and making every moment count.  We had a perfect fall evening for their family portraits, around their cozy home and colorful neighborhood.  Enjoy some of my favorites from their session!

Alex, I looooove your smile!

Lily loves being chauffeured around in her big brother’s John Deere truck!  

The faster Alex drives, the more Lily loves it! A favorite!

This family loves the Colts!  

Alex loved running and “tackling” his Dad with hugs!

Gorgeous ladies!

So cute!!!

While Alex took Lily for another drive, I took a few portraits of Rasmy and Brad.  I just loved the green leafy wall in their backyard!  And the way these two make each other smile!

Rasmy, you are beautiful.  Beautiful!

Peek-a-boo, Alex!  I see you! Ha!

Lily, you are so cute!  She loves walking on her own and with her favorite push toy!

Aren’t these two adorable?!

So much gorgeous fall color with the leaf-covered sidewalk and trees in the distance! 

Brad, Rasmy, Alex, and Lily, thank you for such a relaxed and easy-going session!  Thank you for welcoming me into your home and for sharing such a fun-filled evening!  I truly enjoyed spending time with your sweet family!

It seems like it was just the other day when I first met Graham for his newborn session!  He celebrated his first birthday in October, and visited me at the studio for some portraits and a fall themed cake smash!  His mom, Kristen, mentioned that he wasn’t that into his birthday cake, so maybe this time he’d be excited for some icing and cake!  It turns out that he was more interested in the mini pumpkins, bumpy gourds, and colorful leaves than any frosting with sprinkles!  None of that mattered because we got some handsome portraits of this happy and sweet little guy, who had just started walking not long before coming over!  Graham, thank you for sharing your afternoon with me! You are just adorable!!!

Hello, Graham!  A favorite!

Don’t you love those squishy little cheeks? And that little pout?  

He loved being soooo tall! 

OMG!!!  Adorable!!!

Handsome little guy!

Then it was time for cake!

Who needs cake when there are pumpkins to play with?!  Ha!

After cake, it was time for a few more portraits before wrapping up his session.

This pumpkin was just the right size for a little seat!

Graham, you are so cute and such a sweetheart!  
Thank you for celebrating your 1st birthday with me! 
Can’t wait to see you again!!!

I cannot say just how much I adore this family!  I’ve had the honor of photographing them since they arrived home just a few weeks after being born, and watching them grow over the past two years has been such a treat!  Greg and Allison are wonderful parents, and it’s obvious that they cherish their sweet kiddos!  Besides being so adorable, Harry and Lucy are quite good helpers!  They helped me get some photos of their Mommy and Daddy together!  It was so fun!  We had a beautiful fall afternoon, filled with lovely light and golden color, to capture their family portraits, and I’ve been so excited to share some favorites from our day!

Love this!

So sweet!

Beautiful Miss Lucy!  Don’t you love her little boots?  I love this family’s style!

Harry loved waving the biggest leaf around!

Both Harry and Lucy were fascinated by the leaves and water.  

And these two?  Love them both!

Allison and Lucy, you are so beautiful!  A favorite!

Having Remington in our lives has been a blessing in so many ways!  Just two short hours after Remington was born, so was this adorably sweet and handsome guy, Jackson!  His beautiful mom, Lynne, and I met within a few weeks after they were born and learned that not only were they born on the same day, but that they are just two hours apart!  We like to say that they became friends while in the nursery together!  It has been so fun growing our friendship and seeing our boys become friends over the past two years!  A week before his 2nd birthday, we met up on a beautiful evening for some portraits to capture this super-fun, spunky, and sweet toddler!  Friends and family can view his entire online gallery here.  Happy 2nd Birthday, Jackson!!!  

Ohhhh, this sweet little face!!!  A favorite!

And this one…seriously, Jackson, you are beyond adorable!

A is for Apple!  Jackson loves apples!

Jackson thought he saw his pup, Owen, off in the distance…;)

There is just something about this image that I adore…I think it’s his seriously sweet expression.  
Lynne and Eric, you have a little heartbreaker on your hands!

Did I mention that we had wonderfully golden light?  
That I didn’t want to leave this perfect little spot that we had found? 
And that no matter what Jackson did with this tricycle, I loved it?

Love this! 

Lynne, you said how much you love his smile…I couldn’t agree with you more! 

Jackson is always up for adventure!  Climbing and walking on these giant rocks was so fun!

Those blue eyes!!!

He was fascinated with the mechanics of the vintage tricycle.

Jackson, you sure are one handsome kiddo!  
Thank you so much for sharing your evening with me! 
See you soon!

I’ve been so excited to share this adorably sweet session!  I met Heather and Brian for the first time at their maternity session, and it has been such an incredible honor to photograph them since then.  Emily Claire is their gorgeous daughter, and she recently celebrated her 4th birthday!  Just how is that possible!?  Emily’s sparkling blue eyes and curly blonde hair shined even brighter in the glow of the amazing evening light that we had on this sunny late summer day.  Friends and family can view their entire online gallery here.  Enjoy some favorites from our time together!

Doesn’t she have the cutest outfit?  

Love both of these!

Heather, you are so pretty!  And I love that dress of yours!

I adore all of Emily’s faces…especially that sweet expression on the right.
