Sweet baby Graham was born on February 2nd. He is an adorable little bundle of personality and cuteness. The last three years I have had the privilege of getting to know his amazing parents, and beautiful two siblings, Ella and Dean during our family shoots. Repeat clients are my favorite because I get to watch them grow and change over time. I cannot wait to capture this little guy’s development over the coming years.

That’s Mama love!

This was my first time doing Winter Mini sessions.  Actually, this was my first time doing any sort of mini shoot. Every time I do something different in photography there are things that I learn and am surprised by. Without a doubt the thing that surprised me the most was how many amazing pictures these kids took in such a SHORT amount of time. I could have easily, posted another twenty images of my favorites from our time.  Each of these children were photogenic and warmed up to me so quickly.  Adults take time to let down their guard in front of the lens. Kids, don’t have guards or inhibitions, they are freely themselves all the time and I love that.

I met Natalie at a Pinterest Party. Have you ever been to a Pinterest Party?? If not, do it. Throw one, attend one–whatever, just go! Invite your friends to come and bring a dish from their recipe board, wear an outfit from their fashion board and then you can sit in a circle and talk about your favorite pins.

Natalie and I started talking at the food table (duh)….I immediately liked her. She was witty, stylish, pregnant and an artist. Natalie is a fabulous graphic design artist. Need one? Call her. Whenever another artist trusts me with their pictures I take that as a huge compliment and responsibility.

I had so much fun shooting her and her husband, Ryan, in this urban setting. Enjoy these images of this Mom and Dad to be!!

Stunning.

Cracking me up. 

Love.

One of my favs.

I love newborn shoots. They are by far the most intimate shoots that I do. Usually done in the comfort of the Mommy and Daddy’s home, the images make so much sense;  a newborn in their crib, a Mommy and Daddy cuddling them on their bed. This is as real life as it gets. Yet, real life is enough–in fact its more than enough to create gorgeous pictures. Okay, yes I do have a few props that I bring. No, babies don’t sleep outside in baskets (but, man oh man, do they look adorable!). I am sucker for natural light so I do usually pop outside if the weather is favorable. But that is not the majority. Most are full of snuggles, kisses and nursing little ones in their natural habitat. That describes this session perfectly. Lots of breaks for a hungry, sweet newborn. Lots of snuggles from a new Mommy and Daddy. Perfection.

Mama Love.

There are no words for how much I adore this family. They are fun, loving, serious, thoughtful, kind and real. I get to not just shoot them, but to know them and call them friends. Stephanie and I realized early on that we have a ridiculous amount of shared interests, ranging from good food, pictures and TV. Just feed us, flatter us, and entertain us and we are happy girls.

This family blew my mind with how fun, comfortable and unbelievably photogenic they are. Take a look…..

Umm…adorable. 

That friends, is what we call photogenic. 

Stop it.

Love.

One of my favs.

Oh my……sisters.
