Deacon & His Sisters | 6 Month

How handsome is this little man? And how sweet are his big sisters and his gorgeous momma?!? I just loved having this family in the studio. Big sisters did an awesome job helping me get some really great smiles out of little brother and they didn't have a problem modeling for me either ;}

It was so funny that just after my last session with sweet Aria for her re-creation of a photo of her mom that Mr. Deacon came with an outfit that was his dads and we did a re-creation of a next generation photo with him too!! Too cool!!

Miss Aria | Generational Photo

Mommy asked me if we could sneak in an extra session after Aria's 9 month session... to try and re-create a photo from the past. The dress and shoes are actually from her Grandma and we were keeping a family tradition to put Miss Aria in the same outfit at the same age {10 months}. So sweet!

The Christianson's | Family

Mr. and Mrs. C and their little girls are just a delightful family to photograph. They all like to have fun and big sister Audrey never disappoints me with her love for the camera! I can't get enough of this family. Little Blair isn't as sure as her big sister, but I am sure big sister will teach her to love it as much as she does. ;}

Thanks guys for the fun little park photo shoot. I can't wait to see you guys again!!

Jeremy & Jennifer | Expecting A Girl!

Seriously these two are SO SWEET! I had so much fun exploring around the park with them and they were troopers for letting me bring them all around.... Especially Mom! 

There is no denying their love and excitement for their sweet girl and Mom is just absolutely glowing!

I was very fortunate to be able to photograph their sweet girl TODAY! You will see photos on here soon, but for now I will leave you will all this prego cuteness. ;}

Little Ellis & Her Sisters | Newborn

HAIR!!! That is the first thing I saw when Mommy brought this sweet baby girl to see me. She is the sweetest babe and so are her adorable big sisters. She was one of the sleepiest babies and so easy to pose!! She did just about anything I wanted to do :}

Big sisters were SO good and did a great job holding their new baby. Sweet Ellis is going to have 3 wonderful sisters to help guide her through life!!

PS Mom, you are one strong and amazing lady!!!

Molly | Spring Mini Session

Oh this girl! It doesn't get much cuter than this at 15 moths old... The cheeks, the smiles, the curly hair and those amazing blue eyes!!!! AH.DOR.AH.BLE!!!!

Her sweet little personality and voice make her even more adorable. Mommy got to give the photos to Daddy for Father's Day and I would say that's a pretty great gift ;}

Ashton, Caitlyn and baby Rylan | Spring Mini Sessions

The last time I saw this family was for baby brother Rylan's newborn session. This little guy has gotten so big and WOW is he happy!!

I can't believe how far Miss Caitlyn has come since I have first started photographing this family too. I just have to laugh thinking back to our first session where we got just a couple of serious photos before a complete breakdown! This girl just did NOT want her photo taken... but now? She will actually let me take her photo which is a HUGE step... she even gave me a happy face! No full on smiles, but we are making progress!! :}

Big brother has always been just a happy awesome model for me. You rock Ashton!

Piper. The girl who loves smashing cakes. | 1 Year Cake Smash

This girl likes her cake and smashing it too!! I honestly couldn't believe how much she got into it!! haha 

She is darn adorable and I love her little grin. She totally made my day. Lots of smiles, some funny looks, and lots of her personality. At times she looked at me like seriously you still have that big black camera thing in front of your face? And by the end she was spent and i'm pretty sure the sugar was hitting her and she folded over in defeat.... 

Girl you ROCK. Come back and see me again!! Pretty please??

Winnie. | Newborn

I just heart you SOOO much little girl! {oh, and I adore your name} 

You were so good {even if you fought the sleep at first} and so squishy for me and you make me want another baby!! BAD. Mom, anytime you need an extra hand to cuddle your babe you have my number!! haha

I have to mention that I think this family is so stinkin' adorable too. I mean really... these family photos are just too much! And Mom you are such a gorgeous lady, but I have to say you are one pretty little prego lady with that adorable baby bump too!!! ;}
