1st Birthday

I couldn't resist posting a couple of pictures of my niece who turned 1 today.  The past year has gone so fast! 

What a wonderful blessing you are to our whole family sweetheart.  Your independent nature and happy personality keep us smiling as we wonder what you're going to do next.

Cute Cousins

I got to take pictures of my beautiful niece and her cousins as a Christmas surprise.  Three kids under the age of one are a lot of work, but very fun! 

It's a lot of hard work to be cute!  It's important to get enough rest.

He was as wonderful to snuggle with as he looks.

Aren't these two cute siblings?!?!

I'm pretty sure that she already knows she's adorable!

Melissa, Patrick, and James

It was wonderful to re-connect with a friend a couple of weekends ago.  She has a beautiful family and another little one on the way.  James was a trooper on this windy, chilly morning.   

I don't think there are many things cuter than a little kid wearing bibs.

Doesn't his smile just melt your heart?

Cousin Time

I feel so lucky to be able to get to know amazing families and spend time capturing their personalities.  I am so grateful to all who have allowed me precious insight into their lives!  

My most recent shoot was at the Towne of Burke Park for 4 sisters who got their children together for pictures.  It was so much fun to watch the kids play together clearly enjoying time with their cousins.  Multiple times I caught the younger ones staring with eyes of hero worship towards the older ones. 

 

The Schoenherr Family

I had just the best time this past weekend with the Schoenherr family.  The siblings decided to surprise their mom with pictures for Christmas which I think is such a great idea.  (My weekends are filling up fast, but there is still time to get pictures done for Christmas cards or as gifts.  I would love to work with you!)  We were blessed with absolutely amazing fall weather as we played at Sheehan Park.  I had a hard time selecting the pictures to post here because there were so many adorable ones.

These are the cutest shoes!  I think every little girl should have a pair.

 

Alison, John, Cara, and Collin

I got to enjoy a beautiful, yet slightly chilly fall morning with this cute family. This was my first chance to take picture of twins and I was so excited! The colors this time of the year are so amazing! It's just a blast to be out and about.

Sam, Kyle, and Mason

I spent this past Sunday with my wonderful friend and former co-worker, Sam and her family.  It was fun to wander on their property.  We found lots of great spots for pictures.  It's hard to believe that Mason is a year old already.  He is such a handsome little guy!

Lola is so good with Mason.  I was really impressed!

These guys are such a fun family.  Check out all their different expressions.
