Hallie and Payton

I have found out now that I have been doing this for a little while that children have their own agenda. As a photographer who loves working with children, I have learned very quickly you just adjust to their plans, and the pictures take care of themselves. When Katie told me about this big, beautiful old house her friend was letting us use for pictures, I had all of these fabulous ideas for portraits. I ended up chasing Hallie most of the time, and taking pictures where she wanted, and I think they turned out even better than the ones I had planned. I LOVE when babies start getting a real personality. It is happening with my 15 month old right now, but my girl Hallie is FULL of such a fun personality, and I hope these pictures captured it for you! Enjoy!


Sweet girls, but don't let Hallie fool you...
she isn't tired at all! :)

Sweet Payton finally got her a little nap!
This one cracks me up! Hallie was telling ME to be quiet!
Beautiful babies!
Isn't she just adorable?

This girl LOVED the swing!


This one is hilarious to me! This is the smile Hallie had been perfecting all week. What is funny is how similar it is to Payton's face when she cries. These girls are too fun!


Look at this awesome house we had as our playground. Thanks Katie! I had so much fun with you and your girls!

Kara and Justin

Isn't is always amazing to see two people TOTALLY in love? Well, meet Kara and Justin! They both literally glow around each other they are so happy! I have really been wanting to take some engagement pictures because I thought they would be fun. Kara was the brave girl who allowed me to try my talent out on them, and I had SO MUCH FUN! I really hope to book more engagement sessions in the future. It isn't hard to make two extremely happy people look amazing. These two were up for anything, and their session definitely turned out to be one of my all-time favorites. Enjoy them!


The happy couple!

Aren't they sweet?

Love this one!

So happy together!

Skylar and Colt

I had the opportunity to hang out with Skylar, Colt, their sweet mama Brooke and Brooke's mom early one morning last weekend. The weather kept teasing us. It would be raining one minute and the sun was out the next, but we didn't let that stop us! We just changed plans, changed outfits and waited on the weather to cooperate. I had so much fun with these sweet boys. Skylar was so hilarious and such a good sport when we ran into an incident with some ants, while Colt was a perfect baby and SUPER cute. Brooke said she wanted some "priceless" pictures of her boys, so I hope I was able to capture some for her!
So sweet!
This is one of my all time favorites!
And even baby Colt had his turn on the railroad tracks (don't worry the train doesn't come through on these anymore!).

Love the light in this one!
Sleepy baby! Being cute can wear a little guy out!

CUTENESS!


Gotta love a baby who smiles!

The Hollands

Meet the Abbey and Bryan Holland. These two are VERY special to me. Abbey is my sister and Bryan is her wonderful husband. I could blog for days about all that my sister means to me. She is one of my most favorite people in all the world. She understands me in ways no one else can because she has been with me through every major experience of my life. She puts it best in her own simple way by saying, "She was my first friend," and even now all these years later she is one of my best friends. I am so blessed. Oh yeah- and Bryan he isn't a bad guy either! He makes my sister so happy and is so much fun to be around. He and Cameron bonded at the beach, and I think they will be buddies forever. Enough talking- enjoy the photos.
Love the colors on this one...
They are so cute!


One of my favorites!

So beachy!

Isn't she cute?!?!

Meet the Knapps

I had such a fun morning with this family. I have known Brian for many years. He was a sports writer for the local paper when I was in high school. He covered all of my games, and is a great writer. He picked a great wife in Holly. She is super sweet, they obviously make BEAUTIFUL babies! Check out the blue eyes. They were so easy to photograph. Gehrig has such a cute personality and Gibson was the happiest baby I have seen. Thanks guys! I hope we get to do it again soon!
