Sweet Six Months

I love, love,  love photographing repeat clients! It's like getting to watch them grow up over night! We first met Miss C in her mommy's tummy!  Then we had the best time at her 3 month session, and now she's suddenly Six Months Old! My how they grow fast :)

She was even more fun to photograph this time! Hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

We took a little break and let her play on her jumpy, she loves it!

I love catching spontaneous smiles! 

This one happened as she and mommy had a pillow fight while we were trying to get the ring shots on her toes on the bed.

Who. Is. She?!

All of these were shot in their home, using backdrops consisting of their own walls, furniture, floors and decor. This is why I love Lifestyle photography... the opportunity to photograph a beautiful, loving family in their own home is priceless, making the portraits and memories captured that much more meaningful, special and unique. I am so grateful for my photog mentors and friends who helped me learn this! As a way of "paying it forward", I am about to begin a series discussing what I've learned about shooting Lifestyle Portraits, how the creative process works from start to finish and tips about photography in general sprinkled throughout. I hope you will enjoy this new topic and will let me know if it helps you!!

See you back here real soon!! ;)

6 Month Old Cutie!!

Today I got the privilege to photograph a good friend's baby girl for her 6 month milestone!  I'm so grateful when someone entrusts me with capturing their babies milestone moments on camera.... it's a fleeting moment in time and the pictures are all that's left! And when a friend asks me to do it, I am even more moved because of the history we share and the story I know is behind that very moment. 


This adorable little girl is the daughter of my friend C, who worked with me at Family Christian Stores way back when! LOL! I remember talking about our hopes and dreams for the future during slow days or closing time. And NOW, I got to photograph her dream come true... her baby girl! Oh! It was wonderful!!


And sweet Miss K... was so very cooperative! We had her sitting on hard bricks, laying against old rough trees and almost sliding down a bench. Yet she never complained, sleepy and all! She was so ready for a nap, but still, she posed and cooed and looked all bright eyed as if on cue! Goodness! Don't you just want to pinch those cheeks!?  I had to stop myself.... but it was hard!


So, take a look at her sneak peek.... hope you love them as much as I loved shooting them!

Can't wait for your 1st birthday K!
