This little sweetie was such an angel during her 3-6 month shoot! She was full of smiles and was in such a good mood. I just bet she is like that pretty much all of the time!

The hardest part is knowing it’s been five months since I did her newborn photos! You can see a few of those here and here if you want to walk down memory lane with me!

The entire family is just pure sweetness and I had a blast with them! Thank you guys so much for allowing me to photograph baby ‘A’ during her first year! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

I’m so sad that I won’t be seeing this family again - they are moving to Canada. But, I was thrilled when they called to have me photograph their baby ‘P’ just before she turned 6 months old! I was able to do her newborn portraits so I was excited to see how much she had grown!

She is as sweet on the inside as she is on the outside! The parents wanted to do our session at their ranch since it would only be their home for a short while longer and held so many memories!

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!!

I can’t believe how much ‘S’ has changed since I started photographing her at 4 months old! She has beautiful, auburn curls and such a sweet personality. Big brother, ‘D’, wanted to get in to the action as well so we got a few shots of him, but I must say he needs a session all his own. He was way too busy for my camera!

Here is a sneak peek! Thank you so much, Juli, for bringing your kiddos out and allowing me to have fun photographing them!

This sweet little guy was only 14 days old and was such a little peanut! He made me work for these but he was so sweet I could have held him all night!

I’m so glad I was able to capture sweet baby ‘G’ and his gorgeous family! I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!

Little ‘B’ is so big now! It’s just so hard to believe this is the same newborn I photographed just 9 short months ago!

Check out this adorable little hat and leggings set mom brought for her session!!! Too stinkin’ cute! I think ‘B’ knows how cute she is in this, too…

And this little mischievious look - heehee….

And this little outfit was made by a dear friend who owns a custom boutique online store called Josiekat’s Trunk. I just had to have some of these little vintage inspired items to have on hand for the babies! ‘B’ was the perfect model for this darling set! Doesn’t she look adorable?

Thank you, ‘S’ family, for allowing me to be your photographer. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek!

I have so enjoyed my time with this family! Another baby planner graduates with this session. It’s so sad but fun at the same time - I’ve been photographing this little guy since he was 3 months old! You can see his first session here. He’s now walking and busy as can be! It’s been so much fun watching him grow up to be so independent - he wanted to help me do everything during our session! He brought props to me (usually after I placed them on the backdrop but that’s another story) and helped me set up the backdrop (well you know, as much as a 1 yr old could). He’s so cute!

Thank you, ‘C’ family, for allowing me to share these precious moments with your family!! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Baby ‘O’ has gotten so big! It’s hard to believe this is the same little guy I photographed with his family here. He wasn’t in quite as good a mood - some teething, a little separation anxiety and a short nap made for a little bit of a challenge, but we captured some adorable moments!

Isn’t he sweet? He still smiles with his tongue out! I love it!

We kept trying to get a shot with his big bro but this is pretty much what we kept getting:

It’s all good, tho! We got plenty of adorableness!

And we can’t forget big brother, ‘J’, who had fun taking our picture!

Thank you, ‘E’, for sharing your boys with me yesterday!! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Ok, so maybe 6 weeker by now but still squishy and adorable! And in a much better mood! I had wanted some lifestyle/environmental shots and just had to go back for them (parents willing, of course, and they were!)

I wanted some shots of baby E in the nursery and the living room - with the yummy brown fringey throw, the gorgeous trunk they use for a coffee table, some shots of dad with baby and his beloved Taylor guitar (which he plays magnificently, by the way) and the special crocheted blanket by mom’s grandmother…

I did manage to get them all and I’m so excited to share a few!!

We tried to place baby ON the curve of the guitar while daddy played, but alas he was a little too big. And, well, he peed, so we decided it was endangering the guitar to try again! I love how this shot turned out!

And this is the beloved crocheted blanket done by baby E’s late great grandmother. I teared up when I heard the story about this blanket! ‘M’ once had a collection of beloved blankets made by her grandmother. They were destroyed by circumstances beyond her control and she was just devistated. She begged her grandmother to make her just one more so she would have something of hers to cherish forever. One day out of the blue, a package arrives at her work - from her grandmother. It still had her grandmother’s scent on it, which brought back so many wonderful memories. Upon her return home that very day, she found a message on her answering machine that her beloved grandmother has passed away. Yet, she managed to give her granddaughter the one thing she wanted the most - a hand made blanket to cherish forever.

I was so pleased to be able to incorporate this special blanket in this session! This is my favorite image from those series of shots…

Thank you, ‘B’ family, for allowing me to be a part of this special time in your lives! I hope you enjoy your 2nd sneak peek!

This sweet little thing was only 5 days old but was over 9 lbs at birth! I can relate because both of my boys were a week late and over 9 lbs. I remember being in the hospital with my first born and nurses would stop in their tracks as they walked by my room and say WOW that is a BIG baby! Um yeah.

This little one was so precious and just slept the entire time! Mom and dad made sure their home was nice and HOT and baby had a full belly, which made photographing her a total dream! That and having the lovely and talented Sarah Mansur photographing with me helped a lot, too! Having two sets of hands made a huge difference!!

Here is your sneak peek, ‘B’ family! Little baby ‘T’ was so squishy and sweet - I just love the little rolls in the hammock shot!! Thank you for allowing us to photograph your beautiful family!

We’ll likely have to have a part 2 to this session. This little guy was so sweet and cuddly - he wanted to be held the entire time and would wake up after getting him to sleep when he realized he wasn’t being held! I did get about 30 minutes of deep sleep with him, though! I was the one who woke him up, actually, when I plopped my vinyl beanbag onto the wood floor! I wasn’t prepared for the loud ‘SLAP’ it made! oops.

His parents were such troopers and though exhausted because of sleep deprivation, they put up with me all afternoon! Thank you guys so much for allowing me into your home to meet you and your sweetie! Here is your sneak peek…
