Just my kids at a local playground yesterday. I love grabbing shots of them “doing what they do!” Jackson was proud to conquer the zipline…and for Marlie it was the balance beam. Family days are my favorite days…. 🙂 Enjoy!!
Another wonderful family that I got to spend the evening with! They made a bit of a drive to see me, and I am hopeful this blog sneak will ensure that it was worth their while! 🙂
Little sis is 9 months old, and big sis is newly 4 (which she assures I can tell my daughter is “the best age”). It’s funny, at many sessions parents will have seen something on the site or blog that they love, and are hopeful can be recreated at their session with me. Last night, mom loved the picture I took last fall of a big sis and little sis reading on a blanket in their tutus. It’s rare that one of my littlest clients has a request from the website–but Miss H even had one all of her own. She wanted a picture of her daddy tossing her up in the air. I , of course, obliged…but really–being 4– that was a tougher job for Daddy! 😉
Actually…even 9 month old Miss C decided to get in on the requests…I just wanted to put her in this old fruit crate in a beautifully lit spot, and she wouldn’t let go of the parasol—viola! An instant even cuter shot, so thanks girls!
H toted her scooter along for some shots…which I just adore. I LOVE adding something new and different to my portfolio, and I love reflecting who my little clients REALLY are even more.
I had a blast P fam!! Thanks again, so great meeting you all!
…and if you read all this, please leave these sweet people some blog love so they can get their gift print!! 🙂
THANKS!!

I was inspired to use the blog title welcome home because of the sweet, sweet picture below. It’s as if someone dropped him on the front porch, a sweet little package of love and sweetness. He’s even smiling as if to say, “What a rockin’ family I am going to have!” 😉
Little P was sooo wonderful for his session. Slept like a champ….let me “do my thing.” I have photographed the big sis before, and it was fun to be able to coax her out on the porch for a few shots of her own too. Love the tender moment between the new siblings I was even able to steal.
It’s always exciting to be part of such a big transiton for new families…and I have been there for that four times already this month. Whether it’s a couple having their first child, or a family with childen already bringing a sibling into the picture–it’s always new and wonderful.
S fam..he’s a beauty! Enjoy the sneak…..
As always….throw some blog love this family’s way so they can recieve a free desk print! It only takes 15….

This shot is my favorite! It’s a nice marker of just how tiny little P started off….;)go ahead,pin this
This little man was just that….I just love smooshy newborn cheeks and lips!
Check him out–just simply edible, right?
He is welcomed into the world by a very loving family (Dad even gifted Mom this session for her shower!) and a super adorable and sassy (what two year old gal isn’t full of that spunky sass?) big sister.
I have been so thrilled with the warm weather, and being able to get outdoors for some newborn shots. There is just something about nature and sweet little naked newborn that just goes so well together!
Thank you so much S fam. It was fun hanging out in the heat and chatting…and thanks Aunt Fran for helping out! 😉
It was worth the long drive to get these shots of adorable baby C.
Enjoy!! PS–Leave this fam some blog love (comments). If they get 15–they are gifted a free 5×7. THANKS! 🙂

Okay so maybe I shouldnt say that, as we had a HUGE draught these past few weeks, and we SO need the rain!
This is the most adorable family with the nicest kids.
Mom called about an hour before our session tonight and we both “hemmed and hawed” over whether or not to cancel. It was raining and cloudy…and then she disclosed she was in the car already 20 minutes into their 45 minute drive to me! With that, I hopped in my car, windshield wipers pumping, PRAYING for a break in this storm! Just an hour…pretty please?
Well, okay so it didn’t happen RIGHT away, we got there, got out of the cars…got that first shot below (yes, that was just the 2nd shot I took!), and the rain came pourin’ down. We took shelter…took some “undercover” pics……and low and behold–we had sun!
(THANK YOU!!)
But really–great group of kiddos and a fun night.
My favorite shot is the black and white of the four kids. We had SUCH a crazy time getting baby sis to get interested in the shoot–as you can see “Miss Lindsay” was really hamming it up acting like a total crazy person, and everyone ELSE appreciated my dorky humor–except the baby. It’s a great shot– I just love the older kids faces like “is this woman for REAL???” (and yes, I am). 😉
Thanks B fam….so happy it all worked out–and Dad–heal quick (tore his ACL–ouch).
Lovin’ your pics!
PS–Spread the love and comment for this gorgeous family–they need a free 5×7! All it takes is 15! 🙂
Ashley - Your kids are adorable. Your lil guy looks just like you.
