A year has passed, and little Owen was just as cute as he was last year!  Click HERE to see his 1-year old shoot with us.  This year, he had a toothy grin (minus that one front tooth), and looked sharp in his adorable outfit.  I love how he burst into giggles every time he saw a photo of himself.  “That’s me!” he cried…I thought it was the cutest.  Self-awareness…what a glorious thing  🙂  Owen gave me the happiest smiles, and it made all of us smile right back at him.  Love the “2” prop, Mom and Dad!  What an amazing milestone.

Thank you, Mom and Dad, for a fun time at the park!  Congratulations on having a 2-year old (and an amazing little one at that!).  Hope Owen had a wonderful birthday  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

Can you believe the last time I saw Lindsay and Evan was back in 2010?!  Click HERE to see their 2010 photo shoot.  I can’t believe how much they’ve grown since then (well, I guess it has been over 6 years…).  I just saw Camryn for her Senior Portrait photo shoot (click HERE to see her shoot), and she was just as gorgeous as she was last year!

It turned out to be a beautiful afternoon at the beach.  The kids were just as easy to work with as they were back in 2010…I guess some things never change.  I loved that Camryn and Lindsay had that sister bond thing going on. Evan was a great sport, and held his own against the girls!  Mom, I can’t believe it’s been so long…we really need to catch up  🙂  Thanks for driving all the way out here to see us, Mom and Dad.  At least it wasn’t raining this time around  😉  Here’s your sneak peek:

Mom and I were texting each other as we got to the park.  We parked on opposite sides of the park, but as soon as I saw the big “1” birthday balloon, I knew that was Mason’s family  🙂  Oh little Mason, I just loved your cheeks!  I especially liked when you smiled (even the cute little smirk that you gave me a couple of times!).  He was happiest playing with sticks and pushing our wagon (what child doesn’t love sticks?!).  He was adorable with his jeans and polo shirt.  The sun was exceptionally strong that day, but he powered through his shoot like a champ!  Thank you for driving out to see us, Mom and Dad!  We had a lot of fun with Mason.  Congratulations on celebrating his first birthday too!  Here’s your sneak peek:

He had the cutest smile, complete with the most pinch-able cheeks and brightest eyes!  Graeson arrived ready for his shoot.  I was a little worried, because he was smiling so much before we started his photo shoot. Save those smiles, Graeson!  Luckily, he still had a few smiles to share (and so did his big brother, Jamison!).  He also had a thoughtful, curious look that I loved (just look at those eyes).  I also thought it was adorable that he kept on pulling on his shirt…love the shot with his little belly button showing. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for sharing your little charmer with us.  It was great meeting you all!  Here’s your sneak peek:

Remember little Evan?  Click HERE for his newborn shoot, and HERE for his 4-month shoot.  Our first shoot for him in 2017 was his 10-month old shoot, and this handsome guy was on the move!  He was incredibly curious, and wanted to explore our studio. He was accompanied by his “big sister” Yuri. I had to post a couple of “blooper” shots at the end of this post, because Yuri was hilarious!  I think she wanted her photo taken more than Evan did  😉  She even peered around him so I could take her photo (and yes, dogs definitely smile!)

We decided to do a “big boy” boat photo of Evan, to show how much he’s grown in less than a year (just look at that boat photo in Evan’s newborn post)!  He was equally adorable, just in a larger size  🙂  I loved Evan’s soft wavy hair and his intelligent, inquisitive eyes. Next time we see you, Evan, you’ll be running!  Can’t wait for our next shoot. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for sharing your little guy with us.  It’s always great seeing him and his cute outfits!  Here’s your sneak peek (including the photos of Yuri trying to be the star of the show!):

It’s been a little over 2 years since we saw Cameron.  Click HERE to see his newborn shoot.  A lot changed since we last saw him.  He’s talking up a storm, showing off a full set of beautiful teeth…and he’s a big brother!  Meet baby Chloe.  She was just perfect.  Chloe had the cutest lips and nose, and I just wanted to pinch her little cheeks. Once she fell asleep, she was OUT.  She was happy and content…such a sleepy angel.  It was great seeing all of you again, Mom, Dad, Tayler and Cameron!  Congratulations on your newest family member  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s Senior Portrait season, and we’ve been blessed with some simply amazing high school seniors this year!  Andrew was no exception. He was easy-going, friendly and happened to be a great conversationalist. Seniors frequently need a “warm up” period before they feel at ease during their shoots. I remember my senior portrait shoot (a VERY long time ago) being quite uncomfortable…and it was worse because my mom was standing there, watching me struggle to look “natural” (I love you, Mom!).  Andrew seamlessly transitioned from location to location…no awkwardness at all! He gave me his friendly, easy smile, and we moved on our way. He was such an easy person to talk to, which always makes our shoots easier (and makes their shots appear more natural). Thank you, Andrew, for being so wonderful to work with!  I hope you were able to get all of that sand out of your shoes  😉  Here’s your sneak peek:

It’s been a year since we last photographed Eli, and just look at how much he’s grown! Click HERE to see Eli’s newborn shoot.  Little Eli was “cautiously curious”.  I loved how his eyes surveyed the area around him…the grass, the people, the toys…so much to take in.  I thought it was adorable how he bit his lower lip as he looked at us! Eli was happiest with Dad and Mom, he obviously knows how much they love him.  What a glorious smile  🙂  It was great seeing you, Eli!  Soon, you’ll be running around…exploring on your own. You are going to have a blast!  Here’s your sneak peek:

Happy 2017, everyone!  We took a little internet break for the past month or so (but we’ve been busy doing shoots…so I have a lot to post).  I wanted to start this year with a great family  🙂  I’ve known Mom since 6th grade…and we’ve shared many great memories over the years.  Years later, we both have families!  Wow, time really flies by. Tevin and Lindsey were so easy to work with (mellow, just like Mom and Dad).  They quietly took directions, but had a sense of humor at the same time  😉  Love the silly faces, shakas, and dabbing (thanks Lindsey!).  Thanks for making my job so incredibly easy!!!  It was a beautiful afternoon at the beach, and I loved seeing all of you again  🙂  Hope you enjoyed your vacation!  Here’s to more wonderful memories…in the next generation!  Here’s your sneak peek:

What glorious names for two beautiful little angels…Hope and Valor.  They were joined by their equally sweet big sister, Aurora (love that name too!)  Valor and Hope arrived to our shoot nestled in their car seats.  They looked so peaceful, I hoped they would stay that way for their shoot. They did  🙂    Aurora couldn’t wait to put on her “Princess Dress” for us.  She was so bright and inquisitive, and so patient with her new brother and sister. It’s not often that a two year old will cradle two newborns in their arms and pose for us. Great job, Aurora!  Hope and Valor were equally patient with each other. One slept peacefully while we did individual shots of the other. They were quite snuggly, and naturally fell asleep when we did our “together” shots.  I loved it all…tiny fingers and toes, adorable noses and lips. Precious!  Congratulations, Mom, Dad and Aurora!  Welcome to the world, little Valor and Hope  🙂  Here’s your sneak peek:
