Pretty Baby

Kate's mommy wanted to have her six month session at the Arboretum, and what a great decision that was! The weather on Saturday morning was exquisite and Kate was in a sweet mood. Her mommy brought her such darling outfits to wear and I captured lots of pretty pics of this lovely blue-eyed beauty (which made choosing what pics to post very difficult!). Big brother, Jackson, tagged along too and I was thrilled to snap a few quick pics of this handsome boy. Looking forward to photographing the entire family in a couple of months.

First time at Davis Park

Thursdays photosession was special for my friend, Beth and her family...it was her daughter's 2nd birthday- Happy Birthday, sweet Audrey! This was also my first time to shoot at Davis Park and we had a ball (I think this may be my new favorite spot!). The weather was a bit overcast and we even had a few sprinkles, but it didn't do anything to dampen the mood. The kids were angels and cooperated so well! These two little ones will have a new sibling come December...I'm so excited for them. :)

Sneak Peaks

Here are some of my favorites from the sessions I had right before my trip. ENJOY!

First up is my friend Heather, her daughters, sister and niece. These girls were so wonderful to photograph. Cynde, Heather's sister, wasn't feeling well that morning, but you'd never know from the pictures. She was a trooper and we got some really great shots. Heather is planning to use the pics for a Mother's Day gift. I hope she likes them!

Heather's girls are seriously the easiest children I have ever photographed...they will do pretty much whatever you ask and look lovely everytime. They are such dolls!

I originally came out to photograph baby Joseph, but since he was sick with a cold, we focused on big brother instead (why let a session go to waste?). I did, however, get a few shots of the two boys together before the baby was whisked off for a nap. I promise to post more of the little one once we do his re-shoot.

Last but not least is Amanda...my first senior to photograph. Her mom wanted a few shots of Amanda before prom last weekend, so that is what we did! She was a part of a large group, so I was able to get some pics of her with her friends. It was fun seeing all the kids excited about the night ahead but it also made me feel really old. What really freaked me out is the fact that my senior prom was a mere 15 years ago, and Grace is only 13 years away from hers!

Fun with Family Sessions

I was busy Saturday morning with two family photosessions and what a beautiful day it was for pictures! My first session was with Nicholas, a sweet almost one-year old little boy and his parents. This little guy was one of the happiest babies I've ever met...I captured lots of smiles so effortlessly with him.

Next up were my friends, the Halpins. They have two adorable boys and we had a blast exploring the trails around Prairie Creek. Joel Halpin is the pastor of a church called The Springs...it's a great new church with lots of exciting things going on...check it out if you can.

Also, I have just a few more slots left for the May Blooms mini-sessions...call or email if you'd like one!

Sweet Sisters

I met two sweet AND gorgeous little girls yesterday and had such a fun time photographing them at their home. Big sis was incredibly sweet to little sis, and they were both so laid back and calm. Watching their mommy with the two of them took me down memory lane; not so long ago, I had a curious little two year-old and newborn to take care of...I miss those days sometimes!
