Francesco 3 months old

One of the best things I did Theo's first year was to have consistent professional photos taken. Even though I'm a photographer, it took the pressure off of me and allowed me to just be mom and also, BE IN the photos with my little man! Seriously, we as mom's don't do this enough! It is hard sometimes, you're thinking about how you look and feel different and you just love your littles so much, let's just take pictures of them. But let me tell you right now, I cherish photos of my mom and I much, much more than a photo of just myself! SO I always love it when parents jump into these baby journey/highlights sessions.

Francesco is growing and adorable. It is obvious he and his mommy have a special bond <3

Wtulich/Focht Family Maternity Session

For as long as I've known Lindsay her heart's desire has been to have a husband and family. It has been so beautiful to watch God bring her these things in His wonderful timing. Not only was she thrilled to be having her second child, but got to enjoy/share her pregnancy with her sweet sister. I mean how fun?! They are so close and I know this was so special!

I was so happy to capture some cutie shots of their bellies and growing families this Spring! Both girls recently gave birth to healthy babies! Thank you Jesus <3

Alice turns 8 months

GUYSSSS! How adorable is little Alice?! I almost can't handle it! Seriously I could've taken her picture all day long, she was just so sweet! She isn't quite mobile yet, so that worked in my favor as well ;) C'mon Alice and those pearls?! Does it get any cuter?!

Here are my favorites from Alice's 8 month session:

Irons - Fall Mini-Session

You know when you watch your kids and see even the tiniest bit of their personality start to show up? Isn't it fun to think what they'll grow up to be like?! Well, the Irons have 3 kiddos full of personality - all unique and beautiful in their own way. Alexa is definitely smarter than I am. Drew is creative and crazy and fun. Finally, little Brooke is shy and reserved, but so so sweet. It is neat to watch them all grow and become themselves, even just from behind the lens. This is another reason I love capturing families - I get to see the change, the growth and of course, all the love. Here is the great Irons family Fall mini-session:

Defrains - Fall Mini-Session

Can you guys believe I'm still blogging my Fall Mini-Sessions?! Wow! I just can't get over the wonderful response and blessed time I had capturing so many wonderful families - including this one. I have known Tiff and Ryan for quite some time. They are a blessing to be around and now have the sweetest kids. This shoot was to celebrate their coming little one. Well, little Elena Joy has since made her debut and is just as sweet as her brother and sister! Seriously, it truly is such a special thing for me to do what I do - giving family memories.
