We met up on a beautiful sunny morning to capture some holiday photos of sweet Miss Diana, who you may remember from her adorable spring session.  Diana’s father, Dave, found the cutest green and red polka dot dress and just knew it was be perfect for a holiday themed portrait session!  Add in Diana’s strawberry blonde ringlets and sparkling eyes and bit of glitter, and it made for such a fun time! It was quite chilly, so we worked quickly, wrapped her up in a toasty blanket every few minutes and got some beautiful images of their precious girl in record time!  Friends and family can view Diana’s entire online gallery here.  Now grab a cup of hot cocoa, a candy cane, and enjoy some favorites!

                                                  Such a pretty holiday dress, Diana!  



Those eyes…and those curls! 

Another favorite!

Love this!

My absolute favorite!  And one of my favorite children’s portraits I’ve ever taken!  

Dave, Steph, and Diana, thank you for braving the chilly morning for this session!  I’d say it was totally worth it!  Diana, thank you for being such a sweetheart!  Can’t wait to see you all again!
Happy Holidays!

It has been a while since I blogged photos of my sweet baby boy, Remington!  He is now a walking, almost running 15 month old toddler, who loves chasing Lucy and Lola around the house!  Reggie and I never realized just how much joy he would bring to our lives!  Remington is a sweetheart, he loves to cuddle and play and knows just how to flash those sparkling blue eyes of his to make me melt!  Here are some favorites from the quickest of sessions right around Halloween and during the peek of fall at 13 months old.  I was determined to get one – just one! – family photo!  Luckily, the stars aligned and we got a few on a beautiful November afternoon!  That meant I could check Family Holiday Cards off my to-do list!  Hooray!

Remington’s Great Aunt Sally sent him an adorable baseball outfit for his birthday…so that was his Halloween costume! 🙂
He was a little less than thrilled at having Halloween portraits…he would have rather played with my light stand that was across the room!  There is something about this one that seems like an old time baseball portrait.  


However, he did give me some seriously adorable expressions!

Our son loves to be barefoot!  

He found a beautiful big yellow leaf and was so proud of it!

A few days later, despite all the rain we got over Halloween, there were still 
some lovely leaves left on the trees!  
My two handsome guys!!!  Reggie took some amazing photos of me and my little pumpkin!

 Remington loves to “fly” and go upside down!

Again, my hubby is so good with a camera!  I absolutely love this photo!  
It is going to be framed on my desk! 
Lucy joined us too!  Perhaps next time we’ll get Lola the cat to cooperate! 😉 
A girl can dream, right?!

Reggie, Remington, and Lucy, thank you for being the best family I could ever hope for!  And thank you for being such good sports for our family photos!  Love you all to pieces!

I was so excited to see this family again after such a fun session 2 years ago!  We had a beautiful autumn evening, and despite the chilly temps and wind, we had a blast!  I couldn’t believe how much Rowan and Marin had grown!  They had fun exploring and checking out a nearby park.  Rowan has perfected a great duck call – I think we had about 5 or 6 mallard ducks swimming around us at one point!  I loved seeing this family just enjoy some time together…being outdoors is one of their favorite things to do!  Let’s check out some of my favorites from their session!  Friends and family can view their entire online gallery here.

Favorite!  This was their sneak peek on Facebook.  
I love this one too… it is so great to see this brother and sister get along so well.  They are so sweet!
Lyndsay and Ben, you two are adorable.  Seriously. 

 Rowan recently got braces and didn’t mind showing them off!

Marin, you are so pretty.  So pretty!
I wish I could say that I tell the most hilarious jokes…however, that wouldn’t be quite accurate.  I don’t recall what was so funny, but I love the happiness and smiles when my clients laugh!  

I caught them watching their kiddos in the distance…love their smiles!

These next two are both favorites!

 I’ll end with this photo because I love the silly and sweet faces of those two adorable kiddos! 
Ben, Lyndsay, Rowan, and Marin, thank you for sharing your afternoon with me… and for being such troopers despite the windy, chilly day!  And I can’t to hang out with you again!  Until then, I’m going to practice my duck call!  ðŸ˜‰

The past 7 days has been a bit crazy!  I’ve been without a computer…which is bad because I’m wrapping up my busiest season with lots of editing and blogging to accomplish!  However, it was nice to have a bit of a break and to spend some quality snuggling time with my baby boy! I’m happy to say that my computer is back to normal, and I’m ready to play catch up!  I’m so excited to share this next family session!  You may remember the sweet little face, Harrison, who recently celebrated his 1st birthday!  Happy (belated!) 1st Birthday, Harrison!!!  I had the awesome opportunity to photograph Harrison’s family – his proud grandparents, Mike, Carol, Alan, and Judy – as well as his Aunt Sarah, Uncle Robb, and darling cousin Emma!  Sarah is expecting twin boys, so the holidays will be even more fun once they arrive!  Although it was a bit chilly, we had a beautiful fall afternoon to capture their family portraits!  Let’s get right to some of my favorites!  Friends and family can view their entire gallery here (COMING SOON!).

Look at that smile, Harrison!

Harrison loved walking through the crunchy leaves!

I just had to include the image I used as their Facebook sneak peek!  
Harrison, you are just adorable!

Such a strong little guy! 😉

Sooo cute!

Another favorite!  Valerie and Scott, I’m so glad we got a few images of just the two of you!

Valerie’s parents, Mike and Carol, just adore their little grandson!

Valerie’s sister, Sarah, her husband, Robb, and their sweet little Emma!
Emma, you are going to be a great big sister to your two baby brothers!

Emma was determined not to get any leaves on her pretty pink dress…she had an exciting evening ahead of her because her parents were taking her to see Princess Sophia!

Harrison brought along one of his favorite toys!  He cruised right through the leaves!

Scott’s parents, Judy and Alan, are all smiles around Harrison.  Harrison, you have such a sweet family!

Sarah and Robb found the perfect little path with amazing light and fall color!  

Emma, you are so pretty!

I just loved hearing her giggle!

Cousins!

Hi there, Harrison!

Another favorite!  

And our last few frames of their session ended up being some of my absolute favorites!

See what I mean?!  Looove!

Scott and Valerie, it was such a pleasure to meet your family on such a perfect day!  Harrison continues to get cuter and cuter, if that’s even possible, and I just love seeing the three of you as a family!  I adore you all!

This family has had one busy summer and fall!  They recently moved into a new home (congratulations!), had their maternity session, and then shortly thereafter welcomed baby Graham to their family!  Graham is just adorable!  He has a super cool big brother, Colin, who will show him the ropes and how to build space rover!  (You should have seen the Halloween costume that he and his dad made!  Seriously cool and creative, Colin!)  I had the honor of documenting them just a few days after returning home from the hospital.  Baby Graham slept for a few minutes of his session…he was just too curious as to what was going on around him!  He is a sweetheart!  Please enjoy some favorites from our morning!

So sweet!

Love these!
We used a few of the same vintage suitcases for Colin’s newborn session.  

Hello there, Graham!

Snuggling with Mommy!

Brothers and best friends!

Just look at those sweet little baby toes!!!

Colin has one of the coolest beds!
Yes, that is a slide from the top bunk down to the floor!  So fun!

Nick, Kristen, Colin, and Graham, thank you for sharing your morning with me!  What a sweet family you have!  Graham is one lucky little guy!  Congratulations to you!
