Sweaters and cuddles galore, we had a great time at the park capturing this family’s special connection. And such a handsome pup too!

Baby Eden slept like a champ throughout her in studio newborn session. I love getting to take my time capturing many different poses and setups, and it’s not always the case that I can! The pinks and purples are so girly and dreamy, swoooooon.

How cute are these guys?! It was a crisp but sunny fall afternoon together as we caught each of the four kids’ personalities on camera (and their awesome parents). I love the one of the little guy’s bottom lip out, classic 3 year old!

This adorable family was a delight to photograph as they played, laughed, breastfed, and played some more. That evening sunlight through the trees adds some sparkle to the magic, wouldn’t you say?

I think 16 months is my new favorite age! (ok ok, they are ALL my favorite!) Layla was such a little doll posing and playing with her parents, their pup and me. I love the mix of in home and in nature shots from this session.

It’s always special to photograph an expectant mother, but even moreso when the baby represents what it does here: new hope. Aubree called me to document the joy she and her husband felt at the announcement of their rainbow baby. I think they’re pretty excited about it, wouldn’t you agree? 🙂

Holden brought his parents to the studio for some one year old shenanigans. Thank goodness for race cars! And dads who aren’t afraid of a few flips. So. Much. Fun!

There’s nothing like seeing the face of a father as he looks at his child for the first time. In honor of Father’s Day, I pulled together some photos I have of new dads and their babies taken within minutes of birth. Enjoy!

Today marks the last day of BIRTH WEEK. It has been so great to finally share some of these beautiful births I have captured. Hopefully I will continue to post the blog more regularly!

Today also marks the LAST DAY to enter the giveaway for a ticket to the BWF Meet-up in Minneapolis. See how to enter at the bottom of this post.

The birth I am blogging today is another repeat client. I was thrilled to get the call from this family letting me know they were expecting again – this time a baby girl! There to greet her was the doctor who delivered her brother, a midwife, a doula and after the birth, grandma and grandpa stopped by. I love this family and it was such an honor to be there for the birth of their beautiful baby girl Layla.
