Can’t believe how FAST time is going by this year! Seems like just yesterday I was photographing this lil guy in the hospital! His personality is really coming through now, I love his different expressions! Such a sweetheart. Can’t wait for our next session! 
See his cake smash and birthday party invitations here!
He’s here! Tricia and Rian’s first born arrived last month, what a cutie! I was so surprised to see so much dark hair when I arrived at their house for his session. Just adorable
I also designed his birth announcements that I included at the bottom. I’m thinking about including them in each of my newborn packages, what does everyone think? I just love making them! Comment below if you think birth announcements would be a good addition to my newborn packages! I might even pick a random comment to get a fun prize!
Congrats Tricia and Rian! Can’t wait to photograph your beautiful family again!
This shoot was so much fun! I don’t often get inquiries to photograph a birthday party, so when this one came in I was really looking forward to it! Children’s museum, a party with a bunch of adorable babies and kids? Yes please! Definitely didn’t hurt that Sophia is an absolute DOLL! Seriously, so cute. Her mom is so creative and crafty, too! I absolutely LOVED the owl theme and everything she did…I couldn’t stop taking pictures of all the cute stuff! (Even though the yellow walls and no windows made it a little tricky…) The party went off without a hitch and Sophia had a great time. Enjoy!
When Jakob’s mom contacted me about a one year session I had to check my calendar. Not because I wanted to see if I had an open day for them, but because I can’t believe it’s been a whole YEAR since he was this tiny! Time is flyin this year!!
We tried first to photograph Jakob at the park with play equipment and nice grassy areas but he was just not having it! I barely got one smile out of him! It was a pretty poppy day too so we decided to try it again a few weeks later when the weather cleared up. This time we went down by the water and he was in a much better mood! He loved playing in the sand and putting on his shades! Such a cutie!
Happy birthday Jakob! I absolutely love photographing you as you grow! See you soon
Just one for now! More coming soon! (See his mommy’s maternity session here)
I can’t believe how fast time flew by this year! It seems like just a couple months ago I was at the hospital when my good friend Tara had her first little one, then again when we did his 6 month session. Orren’s turning one in just a few weeks! So crazy. We had a fun cake smash session for his birthday party invitations a week or so ago. How expressive is he!! Hahaha so cute!!
Happy birthday Orren!
Another teeny tiny! It’s baby boom 2011
This little one is a long-awaited arrival! Her mom and dad had been waiting to adopt a baby for 2 years and their dream finally came through in December. She was about a month old when these pictures were taken.
Welcome little Allyson!
A week after his hospital session, I came over to Courtney and Eric’s for Henry’s newborn session. His big brother Jake couldn’t let Henry get all the attention…so cute!
I included their beautiful 20×30 print at the bottom. I can’t wait to see it up in their house!
I am the worst.blogger.ever. I can’t believe I’m just now getting these posted…sorry Court! Mr Henry was born back in September. He was supposed to be my very first experience photographing a birth but I was literally 10 mins too late! He came so fast Courtney couldn’t even get an epidural (her worst nightmare!). Our friend Jenn and I were right outside the door when he was born and heard his first screams! These pictures were taken 3-5 mins after his arrival. So close!
Posting his newborn session now, too! Stay tuned!
