It was only a couple of months since her newborn shoot (click HERE to see E’s newborn shoot), and she was already sitting up.  Not many babies are able to prop themselves into a sitting position, much less hold themselves up at this age.  Mom said she was practicing for her shoot, and we think that the practicing really worked!  We also met E’s furry little brother.  Pet/child photo shoots are notoriously difficult.  Trying to get dogs to sit still next to their new younger sibling and look at us is often times quite difficult…but these two handled it extremely well!  It was great seeing you again, Mom.  Can’t believe how much little E has grown in just a couple of months!  Such a cutie  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

We had an incredible downpour the evening before our original scheduled shoot date.  We had crazy weather last month!  Hot, humid, rainy…every single day.  Fortunately, the weather on our reschedule date was much better, thank goodness!  Loved the energy that Joshua, Luke and Kensie brought to our session.  Everyone participated, and did a great job with their individual, sibling and family shots…loved the patience!  Thanks for a great photo shoot, Mom and Dad!  It was a pleasure meeting you and your amazing family  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

It was a shoot full of smiles and fun  🙂  We’ve had the pleasure of seeing Claire a couple of times this year for solo shoots (click HERE to see her most recent shoot with us), but this was the first this year that we saw all of the cousins together!  Click HERE to see their previous shoot with us.  They have all grown so much since the last time we saw them.  Grandma and Grandpa were also there for a “Grandparent-Grandchild” photo…these are always fun to look at over the years.  Kids go from being carried by their grandparents, to sitting in their laps, to standing next to/behind them in future shoots.  Loved seeing the groupings:  individual families, cousins, siblings, grandparent-grandchildren.  The kids were troopers throughout the entire shoot (it can be hard for younger children to sustain attention during a larger family shoot with multiple family units).  Lots of smiles, and a spectacular view at the end of the shoot.

It was great seeing you all again this year!  Thanks for coordinating and meeting us for our shoot.  Here’s your sneak peek:

I love photographing kids that like to have their photos taken  🙂  The spontaneity and smiles make our shoots so much fun.  Brendan and April…we loved the eagerness and sweet smiles!  Click HERE to see their 2018 shoot.  We had perfect weather for our shoot.  The lighting started off on the brighter side, but as the shoot progressed, it softened.  Brendan and April were such good sports about the ground being slightly damp.  April, the boots still looked fabulous 😉  I love this age, still innocent and willing to hold hands…hope these memories last a lifetime.  Time flies by too quickly, and the next thing you know, they will be taking their high school senior portrait photos. SIGH.  It was great seeing you all again, Mom and Dad!  Thanks for a wonderful shoot. Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s been a year since we saw little Andi (click HERE to see her 2018 shoot). Andi had the same sweet smile, but this time, she sported the cutest little pigtails!  She brought many of her stuffed friends with her (and they sat very calmly in the sleigh for us). Hugging her favorite stuffie/blanket elicited the cutest expressions from her.  She was living her best life while eating cubes of cheese…I will never forget “cheese in the sleigh”!  Cheese works wonders (I love cheese too!).  I will always think of cheese when I use that sleigh in my future shoots  😉  It was great seeing you all again this year, Mom and Dad!  Looking forward to seeing you for your family shoot in a couple of months.  Hope you all have a great holiday season!  Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s been 10 years since we first met Soph and her family.  She was our very first online photo blog client (prior to that, we did hard copy print samples for our clients to view).  Click HERE to see her 2018 shoot.  I get sentimental when I see Soph and her warm brown eyes…that wistful look gets to me every single time.  Mom and Dad, you look the same as you did 10 years ago.  I need to know your secret!  Maybe, it’s having a sweet daughter like Soph.  I feel like a day with Soph would make everything better  🙂  Thanks for driving out to meet us.  Parking was scarce, and the beach was so crowded…but we made it work.  I was also pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t as windy as I thought it would be.  Beach shoots can be tricky, because the windy often comes off of the ocean.  It was a beautiful afternoon with an amazing family.  We always look forward to seeing you. Hugs to all of you!  Here’s your sneak peek:

I love seeing our newborns through their first year milestones!  Click HERE to see Claire’s first shoot with us.  5 months later, she is sitting up like a champ.  She is smiling, laughing and interacting with us…and best of all, her fabulous hair was back!  Claire was gorgeous, and she did an amazing job smiling it up for us.  She had the cutest outfits!  I particularly loved the last outfit.  That pretty pink dress was mom’s dress when she was around Claire’s age. It was perfect (thanks for keeping it in such great shape, Mom and Grandma!).  I loved that the dress had sentimental value  🙂

We will see Claire again in about a month for a family photo shoot.  Can’t wait to see you and your brothers again!  Until then, here’s your sneak peek:

This shoot brought back memories…I remember scouring for photos for my “Senior Page” in my high school yearbook (ok, we didn’t have digital images in my time, but I remember the process!).  We combined a Family shoot with Kacie’s Senior Portrait shoot, because her family only needed a few family photos.  I think the timing was perfect, because raindrops began hitting our windshield as we left the beach.  Kacie, thank you for being so easy to work with.  You and your family were incredibly natural and open to everything.  I wish you all the best with your Senior Year!  May it be full of excitement and memories that you will look back on and enjoy for years to come.  Here’s your sneak peek:

Baby E was absolutely precious.  She had beautiful skin, and a heart-warming smile (that she flashed for us on a couple of occasions!).  I loved the contrast of her dark hair against her skin, and her pout was the cutest.  I loved the knitted animals that mom brought in for Baby E’s shoot…the colors worked perfectly with our color scheme.  Thank you, Mom!  Congratulations on your little sweetie…she did an amazing job throughout the shoot.  I hope you are all having a wonderful summer.  It was great meeting you and Baby E!  Here’s your sneak peek:

We are currently scheduling for our 2019 Holiday Shoots.  Slots are limited (particularly weekend, outdoor slots), and are scheduled on a first-come, first-serve basis.  Thank you for all for your continued support  🙂

We were destined to meet little Ryden!  Mom contacted me to see if we happened to have any openings for a newborn shoot.  She was referred to us by the best pediatrician, ever!  He also loves photography (and he is an amazing photographer!), so we are always honored and grateful when we receive referrals from him.  Ryden was already two weeks old, so we were working against time…but it was meant to be!  Mom and Dad happened to have the next weekend available, and we had an opening.  Thanks for being so incredibly flexible, Mom and Dad!  We were so fortunate to have the opportunity to meet all three of you!  Ryden was a sleepy little angel…which was great for us.  He stayed curled up long enough for us to take photos, and he gave us a few of his sweetest smiles  🙂  I think he got his patience and calm personality from his parents; all three of you were so incredibly easy to work with. Thanks again for being so easy to schedule with!  Congrats on your newest addition, he is a gem  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:
