tips for the host:

MAKE IT FUN!!
this is a great time to go for that themed session you’ve always wanted to try: superheroes, tea party, holiday themed, pirates… whatever the season of the year or season of life you are in, lets plan to remember it in photos!
snacks! your friends don’t have to stay the whole time- they only need to be there for their 20 minute time slot, but lets make their time enjoyable. provide a couple non-messy snacks and refreshments for your friends… or even some special treats for those little ones who give promise to give their brightest smiles
make it a location to remember… go to your local farm, find a field of flowers, or just a cool urban location, got some baseball buddies? lets find a cornfield for some “field of dreams” inspired photos!
props! you can go with a theme, or just get some great colorful balloons, blow some bubbles, throw out a bunch of hula hoops, whatever will add some joy to your child’s face in their images.

This baby boy had me entertained our entire session! From his big laughs to his tough guy look, and sweet little grins to peaceful snuggliness- I love every minute spent with Nicholas! Such a little charmer :)

Happy Birthday!

Today is my sweet friend Bridgett’s birthday so I thought I would post some images to show what awesome year she has had. Bridgett, you are honestly one of the most caring, beautiful and kind people I know… and an AMAZING momma to sweet Faith. I wish you so many blessings this year- love ya girl!

Those sparkly brown eyes and mile-long eyelashes just kill me! It’s amazing to me that just eight months ago she was a baby bump… time goes by way to fast!

Earlier this year I was privileged to take photos of this handsome baby boy and his gorgeous mama. Colton has the most amazing blue eyes and the best smile! Even when he was ready for me to leave and have his mama to himself we got some sweet moments with his pacifier and snuggle-time with his mama… thanks Jamie for spending this time with me.

the Burns family

It has been such an honor to see this little girl grow! This was her one year session and I just finished designing an album for her first year of sessions… I can’t wait to show you the finished product! Emma is such a genuinely happy baby girl, her smile can just light your day. She is just a dream to be around and of course I love that she is ham for the camera! Oh and her parents are awesome too…

So you know I usually have multiple photos of baby feet, those teeny tiny toes and soft pudgy skin get me every time!! Well, this time I kinda had a different obsession- meet Jake. And meet Jake’s brand new just-had-a-bottle-pulled-from-my-mouth lips… doesn’t he have the most precious baby lips ever! it really was hard for me to focus on anything else!!

isn’t he so handsome in green!
you know you wanted a closer look at those perfectly pouty baby lips…

Jake with his beautiful big sis Emma

Sweet snuggly goodness! These two were awesome… thanks so much for sharing this time with me…

Cutie pie sneak peek!

Last week I had the honor of photographing tiny baby girl Natalee and her beautiful mom and sis. Natalee is truly a little miracle… born several weeks before schedule without a hitch. Just two weeks old and a teeny 5 pounds 12 ounces, but you wouldn’t know it by her strength and persistence when she’s hungry! She surprisingly stayed awake until the very end- determined to outlast me, but I didn’t mind getting some shots of these amazing eyes, so new and pure… I get why they say eyes are the windows to the soul…

I have no idea how Natalee could be so beautiful… oh yeah… check out her momma!Fun with the girls!
Big sister Maddie was so sweet, giggling over Natalee’s tiny feet and holding her little hands…
Amanda, thank you for spending this time with me… you have a beautiful family…
