Children are fascinated with the world around them and filled with hope and curiosity. They appreciate the beauty, and sometimes tastiness, of a blade of grass. They have joy in knowing when finding the end of the rainbow; there will be a pot of gold. Accepting without question the moon is made of blue cheese and the stars are looking down on them winking with every twinkle. And embracing the knowledge that an entire world can live on a speck nestled atop a clover …so be careful where you step and be sure to avoid the cracks in the sidewalks!
But as they grow, they change. Until I became a mom, I didn't truly realize how fast they grow. In a flash my baby became a little man. They change every day. My job is to capture that twinkle in the eye, the sly smile, the curious grin, the golden curl and a slice of the day and wrap it into a photo. To create a memory and a moment of who your child is today so you can remember tomorrow.
Hannah is one! I feel like it was just the other day when Colton turned one and Mom and I were talking and found out we were due with baby #2 (Hannah and my Colton) at the same time. It seems like just yesterday and now the babies are here and are 1. Hannah is so sweet and look at the bond between siblings. Love it. Enjoy your sneak!
Nikolaos and Martha showed me all around a childhood park of their Moms. We found old logs, colored with chalk, blew bubbles and looked for bugs….okay, Nikolaos looked for bugs while we did the other things. Martha was super giggly and loved having her pictures taken. Nik was not too excited about pictures but I think we were able to get plenty of smiles. Enjoy your sneak!
I can’t believe all of these once babies are now three. I remember the first time I met Evie….she was about 8-months old and a little shy. But once you meet Evie you will never forget her with her big, beautiful, blue eyes. She is now a bundle of energy and doesn’t even understand the word shy. Sometimes I bring props to people’s homes and the kids will play with them for a few minutes but I think I found a winner with the rocking horse and Miss Evie. She LOVED him. Even named him John and decided his favorite food is pizza. And wanted to know if he could play longer. Too cute. Enjoy your sneak!
8-days old and absolutely adorable. And like play-doh. William would let us mold and sculpt him around without making a peep. He is in the 9 lb plus club which makes for the extra squishy cheeks. Love it. And big sister is so proud. She even wore her party dress for pictures with brother. But Mom and I can’t be friends anymore. She has a perfectly flat stomach and looks stunning 8-days after giving birth. Hope you enjoy your sneak!
Brooks is such a sweet and handsome 5-month old. He was so agreeable to do about anything…and everything was an adventure with lots of smiles. And boy does he love his Mommy. Hope you enjoy your sneak!
Audrey and Emily and their family braved the heat this past weekend for our shoot. And Audrey gets an extra gold star as she received about 25 bug bites in less than an hour. Ouch! But we had lots of smiles and I got a workout. Such pretty girls and I love their distinct personalities. Enjoy your sneak!
I love this family…it is like a reunion every time I walk in the door. And it was such a treat to meet the newest member, Jenson. He was just as cute as he can be. And he did not want to sleep. Which is probably good as he has two very active brothers who are ready to play the moment he can roll over. Enjoy your sneak!
I love photographing the 9-10 month age group. They are so expressive and joyful but are not fast enough to get away from me. And Mia was no exception. Just as adorable as you could imagine but not too fast yet. And look at those eyes ….BEAUTIFUL. Dad…sorry to let you know, you are going to be in trouble in a few years. Mia is gorgeous! Enjoy your sneak!
I can’t believe these two are one. It seems like just the other day they were newborns and I was hugely pregnant with Colton. They did a flip flop on me though this time …usually Harrison is all about the camera but this time it was Cassidy. She was all smiles and Harrison just wanted to run….ah the joys of the new walker. We had fun, despite the heat, last weekend and made some new friends in the park. 
Enjoy your sneak!
Evan was such a sweetheart. He was a little older than most newborns I shoot but slept for us just enough and then wanted to look out at the rain and at Mommy for the rest of the session. Oh and when Mommy held him it would melt your heart ….he would just stare into her eyes. He knew who the love of his life was at 3 1/2 weeks. Enjoy your sneak!
