Only a few more weeks to go! Jared and Alyssa await the arrival of their beautiful baby boy, due in May. Aren't they adorable?!? Congratulations you guys, you are going to be wonderful parents! I loved capturing your love for Jared Jr and can not wait to meet him and see him in those itty bitty Jordan's. So stinking cute!!! Wishing you a restful remainder of your pregnancy, smooth delivery, and lots of amazing newborn snuggles and coos. Until then, I'll be on the edge of my seat! <3
One of my favorite lifestyle family shoots to date... Cook family, you are the cutest! <3
The Cook family has a tradition, every Sunday morning they snuggle in bed with coffee and cartoons. Sounds heavenly right!! They also love story time, Gianna will even flip through a book to look at the pages on her own. She recently turned two and is just the most caring, loving, and sweetest little lady. Gianna introduced me to her baby doll "Nora" and then proceeded to change her diaper, feed her, burp her, and love on her. It was so stinking adorable, and to watch her rocking her "baby" made me tear up a little. They grown up so darn fast and are such amazing little people already. Happy second birthday Gianna, you are an absolute delight! <3
Turning one is a big deal and so is this little man, Happy First Birthday Jenson! I hope your first handful of cake was absolutely delicious. This cutie pie loves to knock down blocks, swing at the park, people watch (who doesn't) and listen to "yellow submarine". He had us working hard for a few smiles, but it was well worth it, don't you agree!?! Better yet, when he concentrates, he sticks out his tongue a little and I kinda love it! Jenson, you beautiful sweet boy you, it was a pleasure!
"Clink"... I can think of no better way to spend an afternoon, "tea for two" with this very adorable, funny, and fancy two year old. Hudson loves to blow bubbles, be tickled, play with Penelope (little mouse doll), play peek a boo, and have tea parties with her stuffed animals. She steals my heart every time, you gorgeous sweet girl you! Happiest 2nd Birthday Hudson, it has been a joy watching you grow!
My how time flies, especially the first year of life. So many milestones and adventures to be had. I've had the honor and pleasure of capturing Luca through his first year and he has been a joy to work with (if you can even call it work). We had a blast exploring during his one year session. He loved touching the different textures, crawling up steps, walking towards momma, pointing out butterflies and fish, as well as playing with his shoes and icing painting. Happy First Birthday Luca! Slow down ok, because the big boy haircut and little Levi jeans have me a little teary eyed. Such a sweetie pie, gah! I look forward to watching him grown into the amazing little man he already is. Love ya Luca! <3
This is what it looks like when two amazing people fall in love... congratulations Corey & Allison! In the planning stages, we were hoping for a little bit of snow flurries for their February wedding and mother nature sure didn't disappoint. So wonderfully romantic, don't you think?! I couldn't be happier for these two, a beautiful couple inside and out! Theres nothing anything better than a picture that captures the pure joy and love two people have for one another, I often found myself smiling back at these whilst editing. Corey & Allison, I wish you both all the best on your next journey together! Thank you for allowing me to capture your love story.
One of my favorite things is seeing siblings love on one another, one better, I get to capture them. My heart melted when Logan (big brother) snuck in a few shots to hug and kiss on his little brother, Levi. OMG! <3 These are the moments I love to capture, it is why I do what I do, I want nothing more than to capture moments like these for as long as I am able.
Welcome baby Levi, you are pretty lucky to have such wonderful parents and an awesome big brother. I think they're pretty lucky too! :) So happy for the Staff family, congrats again guys!
Happy Love Day to my Ave23 family, I hope you all get to spend it snuggling with those you love!
Every year I look forward to my Valentine's Day Mini sessions, we always have a blast and this year was no exception! Check out some of my favorite little clients, you will be overwhelmed with cuteness, I promise! We spent the day blowing kisses, twirling, snuggling, giggling, and "making it rain" confetti hearts. Ah, these little ones are the best and make my job feel like anything but work!
Enjoy your day everyone, hugs and kisses! xoxo
Doesn't he just give you all the feels! Gah... nothing beats capturing (I mean snuggling) one of these little guys. Levi, you are such a sweetheart, happy birthday little buddy! I look forward to watching you grow. Lisa and Brian, I couldn't be happier for you two! He is absolutely perfect and you will make wonderful parents! Levi has the cutest long fingers and toes. Check em out! <3
Christmas came two days early for Jared & Tanya, they welcomed little Elias into the world on December 23rd. Talk about the best Christmas present EVER! Congratulations you guys, you have a beautiful family and I know you are enjoying all the snuggles! I loved spending the afternoon with you and learning his little features, noises, and movements. Elias is such a joy, so sweet and calm. Gahh, I love newborn sessions!
Jared and Tanya, you guys are naturals and will be wonderful parents! You will fall deeper in love with him everyday and each new stage will be exciting and amazing! Enjoy your new handsome little man, he is just precious!
I think I have a new favorite session! Recently, I had my last outdoor session of the year and I can't stop staring at this adorable couple and their cute baby bump. So much anticipation, excitement, and love to be shared. Baby M, you are so loved! Jared and Tayna, Congratulations! I am so happy, excited, and honored to be able to capture these special moments for you guys! Baby M is one lucky little man to have you for parents and I absolutely can not wait to meet and snuggle him very soon! Tanya is due next week, doesn't she look amazing!?!
9 months already!?! Santa has the cutest little helper this year! Isn't he a little baby model? Luca, I can't get enough of your eyes, lashes and lips! GAH!!! He loves to crawl, pull himself up, hang out with his fur brother "Sloopy" and babble up a storm. We even convinced Sloppy to play Rudolf for a hot minute. ;) Dominic and Nikki, I know this Christmas is going to be the best one yet! Enjoy making memories with your little man! Wishing you guys a wonderful holiday and I can not wait to see you in the New Year to celebrate this sweet little guy turning one!
Happy Holidays from the Gehring Family! I can't tell if these two are having any fun, can you?! ;) Brody and Kai were as much fun, sweet, and kind as they are handsome. Upon meeting them, I was immediately brought up to speed on their elf "Lala's" activities and from there we had a ball... they showed me all their favorite ornaments, robot moves and even shared their M&M's. I could have hung out with them all day! Dennis and Erin, thank you for letting me step into your family for an afternoon, I had a wonderful time. You guys have a beautiful family inside and out! Wishing you guys a Merry Christmas!
Dear Santa, Hudson has been a pretty amazing girl this year! I've gotten to photography her since she was a newborn and I swear she just keeps getting cuter every time I see her. She could be in a Milk commercial, for real, you'll see what I mean when you scroll down. Don't miss the ones on the end, they are absolutely darling! Hudson, don't worry, I know Santa will spoil you rotten this year and you deserve it! <3
Tis the season to be jolly and jolly we were! I mean just look at them, all cute and cozy together... I love this time of year. It has been awhile since I've offered Holiday Minis and I think that must change. Thank you to the families that came out! Not only did you brave the cold, but you also shared your laughs, little ones, and inside jokes. I had a blast with you all! So much love was shared and I was honored to capture your beautiful families! Wishing you and yours a wonderful Holiday Season and Happy New Year!
I still can't believe Aila just turned two!!! What better way to celebrate than to play and dance in the leaves. Let me tell you, she has some moves! :) Such a sweet and fun little lady. It has been a pleasure to photograph her since she was a newborn. Happy Birthday Aila Lane!
Soaking in all the fall colors and snuggles during day two of my fall mini sessions. I love this time of year... the smells, the scenery, the clothes... and I also love what it represents. This year is coming to an end, but we should celebrate what this year has brought. Thank you to all the families that came out, I am so lucky to get to step into all of your families for a few short minutes and capture these sweet moments. You all warm my heart. Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season and I hope to see all of your beautiful faces again soon!
Aren't these three just the cutest? Plus who knew a little fake coughing would get all these smiles. Oh Willow, you are a doll! I couldn't help but smile while I was editing too, my cheeks are sore. ;) Your smile is contagious baby girl, love you!
These three were such a joy to capture! Little Mara just turned one and is the sweetest! She made me work for a smile, but it was well worth it. I love meeting new clients and future classmates. :) Check her out in her adorable Halloween costume too, "I'll eat you up, I love you so much!" Thanks McKay family for allowing me to capture such an exciting milestone!
Meet the new Mr & Mrs Baumann! I had the honor and privilege of capturing two dear friends tie the knot last month. Congratulations Brendan & Simone, I am overjoyed for you both and the journey you are about to begin! I can't think of two people better together. Love you guys and thank you for allowing me to capture your love story!
