oh my cuteness...this little boy is just pure joy!! we met up a couple of days before his first birthday, and I had that absolute pleasure of documenting who he is as a sweet little one year old! sometimes kids come to their session needing a little time to warm up, to get to know me, to just be them selves. but not jack! this boy was ready to go right away! from the second we met up, he greeted me with big smiles and giggles! Capturing who jack is...well, he made it pretty

I'm not kidding you! If I could go back in time... I would DEFINITELY be best friends with this sweet little girl! From the tutu dress to the long blonde braids...I cannot help but reminisce! And that magical moment when you ask her to spin... WOW! This family was so much fun! We walked around exploring all the little paths of the park, chasing that amazing fall light! Blessed with the absolutely PERFECT fall day (and the last week of nice weather!). Sunny skies, perfect tre

....and a solid name at that! No ones gonna mess with a little dude with a name like THAT! (or a mohawk like his, nonetheless!!) The Blacks are an amazing family! Their sweet kiddos, Elle Jay and Steiner are such loving big siblings to this little dude! His parents are the absolute best. The kind of people who are above and beyond kind and their love for Jesus is just explosive! Hanging out in their home was such a gift! Not only did I get to watch them interacting as a bran

the shuster family are loyal supporters of JSAW, the ministry my husband, Jake. works for! we have gotten to know them and their children over the years and their son, Zach, is regular at the skate park! It was so fun to get to know his twin sister and older sister, too! always such a gift to capture families I know and see them all together :) by the way...this little white fur ball is basically the baby of the family! A very loved and spoiled little pup!! #dogfamily #family

okay, I have to be honest, I am pretty obsessed with this little baby girl. She is gorgeous and already seems to have a heart of absolute gold. Following her mom on social media literally gives me my baby fill every day watching sweet Nolin's smiles and little baby voice! Maya and I went to high school. Its so crazy that now, 7 years later, she is married with TWO beautiful kiddos! Speaking of- her son, Knox is hilarious!! He popped in and out during the session, showing u

As you may recall, my dear friend Brittany was the cutest pregnant lady in the whole wide world. But wanna know something cuter than a pregnant lady? A newborn baby joining his beautiful family after 9 months of great anticipation! Little Holden finally made his big appearance and life just isn't the same for his family! Not only did Jonny and Brittany become parents to two under two, but Oakley became a big brother! This little boy is in good hands and going to be a VERY lov

it's times like these you realize how fast time flies. cliche, but seriously....the youngest daughter in this family wasn't even a year old the last time I saw her! and now she's in middle school! as I said....time flies! I met the daniels family at the church I grew up in. it was a tight knit community and, well, I was the 'baby girl'. I was always holding someones baby! and Carly just happened to be one of those littles in my arms! I showed up to this shoot thinking there w

it's quite comical writing this post right now because...well...brittany is no longer pregnant and has THE cutest little baby! but...we will save THAT for another post combined with sweet little newborn wrinkles! but let me tell you about this maternity shoot! first off, brittany is one of my best friends. she is full of joy, she is a natural encourager, and one of those friends who is constant and consistent. she's a gem, thats for sure! not only that, but she has just the s

For those of you who don't know me....I am baby crazy! And I don't mean it in a "oh cute, look at that baby!" kind of way. Its much more serious. I can't see a cute baby and not feel a dire NEED to hold it and snuggle it. Mind you, I work full time as a nanny...aka over 40 hours a week of baby snuggles. Plus, I'm never one to say no to babysitting after work or accepting a shoot where I just might get some extra baby love. That being said: meet Henry! 6 months ripe and just a

meet Linus! just a tad over a year old he he's just learned to walk. and YES, it's as cute as you imagine! a little more like a waddle than a walk, arms always at the ready to catch himself if he starts going down, and sometimes a little tongue action to show his serious concentration! to say the least: adorable! but not just him...his parents too! they never failed to be giggling with their little man! if we ever needed to get a little extra smile out of this little man, he
