A special 4 year old...

This is such a special family for me to shoot. I have been taking this guy's pictures since he turned 1! I can not believe this was his 4 year session. We have become good friends over the years and our kids play well together. I never know what adventure they will lead me on during a photo session :) It is always a pleasure to spend time with the four of them. We were lucky this time because Heather's parents and sister were in town for the 4th birthday party. So we actually got a picture of almost the whole family!

It was so much fun taking these pictures. I hope you like them Heather!

I LOVE this one. Even though the boys are not looking at the camera, they are holding hands. It is hard to catch those moments with these two. Usually they are having too much fun running and playing to stop for a moment like this...

Sweet exploration of a new place, not much is more simple and sweet.

He is such a sweet 4 year old full of curiosity and life

A momma and her boys...

Thank you for having me be such a part of these boys lives. It is so wonderful to capture them as they grow. There are plenty more too!

Belly Love...

I adore Maternity photo sessions. There is something so pure and amazing about this time in a life. I had the pleasure of doing this session this past weekend. This is a sister of a friend of mine. She was in town for her nephews birthday and we fit in a session. Unfortunately her husband had to work, so she got all of the attention! It was a beautiful morning with a truly beautiful mother. Thank you Shannon for scheduling this with me. It was such a nice time. There are more pictures, but these are some of my favorites! Enjoy...

We fit in a few sister and family shots while I was doing a session with her sister. It really could not have worked out better.

Pure beauty in a belly....thank you Shannon for allowing me into this time. It was a joy. I can not wait to get you the rest of the pictures!

My girl is growing up

This space is typically where I post projects I am working on or previews of sessions for clients. I could not let these pictures go without a post though. Our little girl is turning 5. I took her out 2 different times to try to get her 5 year pictures done. She is in a stage where she needs to "pose" for her pictures. At first it frustrated me that I was not getting a picture of "her"...then I realized this is her. She is my energetic, fun-loving, caring, loving attention, posing child. I love her for who she is...why not capture THAT spirit in the pictures. So...here is our little girl...growing up!

One of her favorite poses, shoulder up to the ear and slightly turned :)

My princess tomboy....loves to pose, dress up, sing and dance...yet jumps, runs, plays, climbs without abandon.

Not sure which pose she was doing here, and I really don't know if I could do this one myself!

Our amazing girl....glad I captured who you ARE...and I love that person! :)
