How dashing does Louis look! He was gracious enough to allow his little sister in on a couple of pics too.

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.

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!

How great was it to see baby Birch again – though I guess he isn’t really a baby any more. . .  now he is 6 months old! I love being welcomed back into a home after doing the newborn shoot. They are so small when they are newborns, it is hard to imagine them any bigger. Now I don’t have to imagine!

The second of three “Baby Plan” shoots, we get to watch as this little one grow up. BTW – his mom made him the adorable onesies he is wearing. Such talent!

For those who are interested, this is an in-home shoot using natural or available light.

This shoot was lots of fun including balloons, an antique mirror, outfit changes and of course, CAKE! Happy Birthday to this sweetie!

You won the mini shoot! How exciting would it be to get that note in your inbox? Well that is exactly what this mama got. I met her at the St. Francis Baby Fair were she signed up to win the mini session I was giving away at the fair.

We were hoping for a fun “snowy” session, however November lacked snow, so instead we got fall leaves.

I think someone is pretty excited about having a baby brother soon. Congratulations to this lovely family and best wishes on your new addition!

After having to reschedule Easton’s 9-month shoot due to rain, I was so happy yesterday evening was such perfect weather for pictures. Looking at these now I am struck. . . I remember when big sister was in her mama’s belly. Where does the time go?

This cute little guy was welcomed home by big sister and two of the cutest little poodles. . . and, of course, mom and dad too! Here is a sneak peek of our morning together.

It has been so fun to watch this family grow. My first session with the mom was when she was pregnant with her daughter. Now here they are with two kids!

Special thanks to this awesome family who were gracious and flexible about rescheduling due to Baby Simpson’s birth.

Had a lovely session this morning with four great kiddos. One had super powers, the other was an amazing jumper, yet another was so cooperative and finally the little guy – well I think he had had better days but we still got some adorable pictures! Here’s a sneak peek . . .
