beautiful maddy!

oh how i love to work with such lovely families!  i've had the pleasure of working with mike and amy during their maternity session before ms. maddy arrived.  this was the first time i got to meet maddy... and what a precious, sweet doll she is.  she was a bit shy at first but i think she liked me once we got going.  :)  i love her expressions and her beautiful eyes.  oh and her amazing baby rolls - THE.BEST!  thanks again for having me over to photograph sweet baby maddy!

friday's picture dump on sunday

it's been a crazy, busy week...  and i'm posting my friday picture dump on sunday.  :)  it's too hot to think right and trying to keep the kids occupied while we're stuck in the house can get challenging.  i'm officially back to shooting and it feels great.  had a nice break a little before and after the little man blessed us...but now it's time to get behind the camera and work.  this week was busy with booking family sessions for the upcoming fall season, booking some 2013 weddings and random baby/maternity sessions.

today i had a wonderful session with a gorgeous and sweet little 7 month old, little maddy!  pictures will be coming soon!  tomorrow will be working with a brand little baby girl!  it's so exciting and i feel blessed to be working with such amazing people.  i feel like i gain new friends with each new client and to get to watch their babies grow...and photograph them along the way is so special.  i'm honored to capture all of these special moments.  life happens fast and babies grow too fast.  ahhh...i love my job.

i'm currently working on a bridal dress fitting...

and this little beauty...

my life this week...

happy 1st birthday sydney!

i can't believe miss sydney is already a year old!!  looking at these pictures i kept giggling...  sydney is turning into such a funny & spirited little girl.  she makes me smile and loves to have fun.  she is really such a happy baby.  with multiple outfit changes, balloons and a cupcake she handled herself like such a big girl and rarely made a peep about it.  i can't wait to watch sydney grow even more!  happy first birthday sydney!!!!!!

sweet baby brody

it is always a pleasure to get to shoot a newborn session - to see life so new and so precious.  babies grow so fast, so to capture them during those first few weeks is pure heaven!  plus, i'm always excited to work with the noe family!  i've known bryn's family for years and spend christmas eve with his mom and sister every year!  i love these guys!

at just 10 days old, brody was simply perfect.  he rarely cried, if he did at all it was to tell us to make sure to put the pacifier was back in.  brody looks so much like his big sister, mayson!  what a proud big sister too!  mayson was happy to hold brody and help me out anytime i needed her.  we really had fun trying out different poses and capturing the special bond between big sister and little brother.  i'm so happy for all of you!  you have a beautiful family and are truly blessed!  welcome to the world little brody!

happy 1st halloween!

happy first halloween baby lena!!!
