Oh TWO-dles!  Gavin is two, and I can hardly believe it!  He was just a little baby when I did my first session with him, and now he has grown into such a sweet toddler.  He was so well-behaved for his session.  Gavin will be celebrating his birthday at the beginning of April with a joint Minnie/Mickey party with his cousin in NYC!  What a fun way to ring in the magical age of two...TWO much fun!

I love the color palette Emma's mom requested for her 2nd birthday session.  The neutral whites and gold look really pretty and feminine, while still being clean and simple.  This Valentines birthday girl looked so cute in both her casual and dressy outfits. 

Happy Birthday, Sweet Emma!

I love when clients return year after year, and I get to see their little ones grow.  It was so fun to see Easton again (with his 3-week-old little sister)!  He is such a good big brother, as he was super helpful with cleaning up after his photos were done.  What a sweet big boy!  He is so ready to be two! 

Happy 2nd Birthday, Easton!

Simple and pretty with purple petals.  Miss Maggie wanted to celebrate her 1st birthday with a unique, understated style and theme - and I loved it!  Her mommy was even kind enough to let me experiment and put her little sweetie in a milk bath to create a dreamy, opaque white to compliment her purple.  I just think of it as baby's first spa day! 

It was so fun to play and "think spring" with this January birthday girl.

What better theme for a first birthday during this time of year than a Winter One-derland!?  Teagan was such a trooper for her birthday session.  Despite the cold, snowy day, and feeling under the weather, she still gave me some beautiful smiles.  

Happy 1st Birthday, Miss Teagan!

Twins!  Cameron and Natalie were born a few days before Christmas, and were my first ever twin session!  I visited their home to capture them in their element with their parents, big sister Kendall, and dog Jax.  The session was done using all natural light and a "lifestyle"  approach to give a more candid look at their life as newborn twins at home.  It was fun to capture how much they are loved.

I'm always captivated by the stories behind baby names. I always ask the parents about the inspiration behind their mini's monikers, and Louis Wolfe's story is so special.  His first name is after his great-grandfather, who was a strong influence on Louie's daddy, and his middle name is a reflection of his teacher parents love for literature.  Put the two together, and you have this sleepy, smiley sweetheart - Louis Wolfe.

I met this super girl when she was still in her mommy's tummy, and had the pleasure of photographing her newborn days, and now her 1st birthday!  I love being able to watch babies grow throughout their first year.  She is as sweet as the cupcake she smashed all over her face.  

Ana turned 1 on Halloween, and fittingly celebrated with a super hero costume party!  She carried out the same theme in her photos, and I absolutely love the way they turned out. 

Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl!

Baby Charlotte was so smiley and sweet at just 5 days old.  After finally getting comfortable, she snuggled up and napped like an angel.  It was so fun to photograph her beautiful features, and I can't wait to see her again in 6 months for her next session!

It finally feels like Fall with crunchy leaves on the ground and cool breezes in the air, so my requests for Family Portrait sessions are stacking up!  I was so excited to capture this adorable family during their Family Mini Session last week.  I loved the cool colors they chose for their session!  I've known this momma literally since she was her son's age, so it was wonderful to see her again and meet her husband and sweet baby boy.

It's back-to-school time and Fall is in the air (quite literally - the wind was chilly during this session!), and that means time for Senior Portraits.  It was a lot of fun working with Brandon for this session.  Not only is he a talented musician, but he plays hockey for SV, and plans to major in Computer Science.  I wish you all the luck in the world, Brandon!  Enjoy your senior year!

I usually photograph young families; babies and young children really make you work for the shot, and I enjoy the challenge, but every once and while I get the pleasure of photographing older kids or young adults.  As much as I love the little ones, it's refreshing to give direction to older kids who can understand it.  

I've known this mama for many years, and I so enjoyed reconnecting with her to take photos of her beautiful family!  You can tell these kids were raised with a lot of love.

This family is very special to me, they are my cousins and aunt.  For Lauren's First Communion portraits, we took some in the studio with natural light, and a few at North Catholic High School in the prayer garden.  Lauren and Justin were also able to light a candle for their daddy, my sweet, loving Uncle Dave, who recently passed away unexpectedly.  He did get to see his daughter make her first communion this past spring, which was a wonderful opportunity for our family to get together.  Lauren and Justin are now blessed with a very special guardian angel.  I certainly felt his presence as we were taking these photos on such a beautiful day - sunny, blue skies, with a gentle, cool breeze.

Summer evenings offer the most beautiful lighting for outdoor sessions, and this family knew the perfect wooded spot to capture some sweet moments with their little ones.  I met them at their grandma's home to shoot in her beautiful backyard, the very place where mommy and mum tied the knot 6 years ago!  Two beautiful babies later, they're such a sweet, fun, generous family, and it was my pleasure to photograph them!

Big Brother Cameron was so proud of his new baby sister, Lilah!  Upon his arrival, he was sure to ask me if I "liked her."  I told him that of course, I did, but the more important question was whether or not he liked her.  He replied with a resounding, "Yes!"  

Baby Lilah was an angel for her session.  Barely making a peep, and sleeping soundly the entire time.  She was a joy to photograph.  Congratulations to her mommy and daddy on such a beautiful addition to their already sweet family.
