You see, smiles don't always come easy working with children. Sometimes you've got to do the silliest things to get some good smiles or sometimes you've just got to carry on a conversation about something they like. This sweet family had the most precious little lady who would give me the sweetest smiles and then- when she was done, she was done! During this session we were able to get capture some family shots and celebrate her second birthday! Check out some shots from thei

These two tackled the short hiking trip during their session like champions. They braved the bad weather and woke up to meet me early just to capture this session. Patiently waiting for their sweet new baby and planning out their newborn session, we rolled through this session so easily! Here are some shots from their maternity session!

In June, I met Ashley, Coty, & Jenna. You might have seen them or read my blog about them when we did a family session to officially announce they are hoping to adopt. But that wasn't when I met them. It was a sunny day in June when I walked into a hospital room on the labor and delivery floor of the hospital. There was a sign on the door that said "Please see the nurses station before entering the room". Earlier that week Ashley had twins. Unfortunately, when I got there, it

This handsome thing showed up nice and sleepy, and then- he demanded the milk! Shortly after his belly was full he decided sleeping was so bad after all and gave a few yawns! Check out some shots from his newborn session!

This dude is BUSY! A majority of this session was spent wrangling Luke and attempting to keep him in one spot. They said once he learned to walk he was gone- which spoke true for this session. Check out this big boy at his one year session!

When his mommy told me the theme of his first birthday photos I almost died! Chic-Fil-A! How cute is this? Of course I was super excited to do something different and couldn't wait to get to get the session done! Mr. Cameron Slade was TOO cute during his session and as if there was any doubt, he LOVED his Chic-Fil-A nuggets and fries (Okay, lets be honest- who doesn't love those things?) Without any further ado, some shots from his first birthday session!

The day I met up with this family, their day was going about like mine. The tiny details that should be so easy were going wrong and the things that should be complicated were doing such. Despite the deflated balloons and forgetting a shirt or two, they did great! We were able to pull the whole family together for some shots and then celebrate Gionni turning TWO! What you don't see if the M&M's behind everyone back, the moment Gionni decided he didn't like his Mommy because h

This family was a breeze! They didn't mind the walks to get to certain spots, they baby chased, and they were so easy going! Incase anyone was wondering- John Palmer is a master at peek-a-boo and that really helped us get all the smiles in this session! Check out some shots from their family session!

I've been working with sawyer his entire life (which makes me feel old now that I think about it!). He has really grown to be such a smart, fun, and sweet little boy. This year his birthday theme was dinosaurs so of course we brought out all of his favorite ones to incorporate in his session. Check out some shots of Sawyer and his awesome parents from their session!

Emily and Peter were some of my very first clients years ago. They may not know it but I was a nervous wreck during our first session. Luckily there was such a breeze to work with. Back then they were just dating, but not long after they asked me to shoot their wedding! I turned it down because I didn't think I was ready and I thought for sure I had lost a client by turning them down. When they had their first baby, Aiden, they didn't live local so I didn't get to capture tho
