This time of year, I count my blessings more often than usual.  For example, I photographed a sweet senior in late summer, as well as another wonderful senior last fall, and they both referred this next adorable family to me!  It’s no wonder I love my job – my amazing clients refer their amazing friends and family to me, and the amazingness keeps on going!  I truly do have the best clients!  Meet Tanner and Katie, and their beyond adorable daughter, Kathryn, who was just shy of 5 months old for our session!  She was all smiles as we started the session out in her colorful nursery before heading to their family’s lovely wooded land!  As the sun set, it quickly turned quite chilly out so we made things happen so little Kathryn wouldn’t freeze!  It was so fun to witness just how much they adore their daughter!  And once you see her bright eyes and smile, I’m sure you will too!  Thank you, Tanner, Katie, and Kathryn, for sharing your evening with me!  Can’t wait to hang out again!  Friends and family can view their online gallery here.  And now for some favorites from the day!

Kathryn loved dressing up in her teal tutu!

LOVE!  My favorite!

 You two are beautiful!

Isn’t Kathryn the cutest?  I just love her little boots!

Another favorite!

Snuggle time!

So smiley, despite the chilly evening!  

Kathryn was whisked away by a family member to warm up. 
Meanwhile, I had a few minutes with Katie and Tanner.  
I love both of these!

You two are adorable!
Tanner, Katie, and Kathryn!!! It was so nice to meet you – you’re such a sweet and happy family!  
Thank you for making your session so much fun!

We had a beautiful summer evening for family photos!  As I mentioned a while back, we had been trying to get this scheduled for a few months, and especially before I was due!  And they brought their four-legged best friend, Elbog!  Such a sweet dog, and he absolutely adores Mason.  So sit back, relax, and enjoy some of my favorites featuring one of my favorite families!  If you’ve followed this blog for awhile, they’re probably one of your favorites too!  Sean, Kristen, and Mason, thank you for enduring a  hot, buggy evening – you guys rock!  Friends and family can view their entire gallery here.

I love her smile and laugh!
And her serious side is so adorable too.  

Sean, you need to put this one on your desk at work.  ðŸ™‚

Can’t you just hear her giggling?  Mason, you are so much fun!

Best friends.

I’m pretty sure if you were to look up “happy” in the dictionary, you’d find this next image: 

I’ll end this post with another favorite.  Love, love, love this one.  
Thank you, Sean, Kristen, Mason, and sweet Elbog for being so wonderful!  
See you soon! 🙂

One of my last sessions before taking a little time off to prepare for the arrival of our baby was with one of the sweetest families I’ve ever met.  Allison and Greg are proud parents to twins, Harry James and Lucy Magnolia.  And their story is quite an amazing one.  Harry and Lucy were born at 28 weeks.  They stayed in the hospital, getting stronger and stronger each day.  They arrived home happy and healthy the week of their session, and I was so excited to meet them!  They are absolutely beautiful!  And their nursery is incredible!  Perfectly designed for a brother and sister, full of fun and colorful modern details.  Family and friends can view their entire online gallery here.  Let’s get right to some of my favorites from the day!

A favorite!  

Handsome Harry on the left, and lovely Miss Lucy on the right!

Allison, you are a beautiful mom!

Greg plays guitar, so it was only fitting to incorporate his colorful case! 
Harry took a nice little snooze inside!  ðŸ™‚

Lucy was ready to play, while Harry (right) was sound asleep!

Harry, you are too cute!!!

Lucy has the sweetest little lips and nose!

 Harry’s ten little toes

Lucy flexed and wiggled her little feet!

One happy family!
Allison and Greg, thank you so much for allowing me to document this exciting time in your lives! Harry and Lucy are so blessed with fun and loving parents.  And they are both beyond adorable!!! Congratulations to you both!
Can’t wait to see you all again soon!

Oh, how time flies!  It seems like just yesterday that Kristen and Nick were waiting for their little guy to arrive!  And now he’s 2 1/2 years old!  I’ve had the sheer joy of documenting this family since their wedding, and seeing them now, it’s obvious they are so happy and loving every minute of being parents to adorable Colin!  (Take a glance at Colin’s other blog appearances here, here, here, here, and here.) We met up recently to capture this time in their lives and had a perfect summer evening for it!  Friend and family can view the entire online gallery here.  Let’s get right to some of my favorites from their session!

Don’t you just love his grin?  

I just had to include this Sneak Peek from Facebook!  What a cutie!

Seriously adorable. 

Another favorite!  Colin, you are such a handsome little guy!

Nick, Kristen, and Colin, thank you for sharing your evening with me!  It was so fun to watch Colin run, jump, climb, and explore!  And thanks for playing along with the silly games that I made up!  ðŸ˜‰
You guys are the best!

It’s been so fun to have so many cute kiddos featured on the blog recently!  Don’t they just put a huge smile on your face?  Well, I’ve got another one for you to start the weekend!  Eden turned 1 in June!  And I was lucky enough to capture this important milestone with her!  You may remember her adorable newborn session and fall family session.  This past year has flown by, and she just keeps getting sweeter and sweeter!  Oh, and those blue eyes of hers!  Just you wait and see…she will melt your heart!    Eden, thank you for sharing your afternoon with me!  And now for some of my favorites!  Friends and family can view Eden’s entire online gallery here.

Seriously adorable. 

Eden is a girly-girl, just like her Mommy, and so she just loved playing with some feathers!

Oh my goodness, Eden, you are too adorable!  
See those blue eyes?  Soooo pretty!

Loved her giggles as she tickled herself with the feathers!  Favorites!

Then it was time to celebrate with a perfect white chocolate cupcake! 

She was so patient before going for the cupcake!

Yum!

I’ll end with this one because it shows just how happy she is!  
Happy Birthday, Eden!  

Eden, thank you for sharing your afternoon with me!  
You are such a sweetheart, and you’re loved by so many!  See you soon!
