I’m super excited to announce a Mommy & Me Mini Session Event! I’ve been getting tons of requests for mini sessions so I figured it would be so fun to do a mommy & me session! Being a mom myself, I know that most of the time we’re the ones behind the camera taking photos of our little ones. Well now it’s your turn to be in front of the camera with your favorite little people! This would be a PERFECT mother’s day gift (hint, hint husbands!) or even grandparents! There are limited spots available and they will fill up quickly, so call email now to reserve your spot!

As most of you know, all 75+ of Chloe’s headbands are ALL from Banner Boutique! They are hands down the best headbands out there! I always include them in my sessions. Lindsay from Banner Boutique was kind enough to send me a box of headbands for this special mommy & me mini session event so that every little girl can not only wear one for the session, but she gets to go home with a brand new headband! And these headbands are not just for the kids! Many of the headbands can be made to fit adults too. Click here to visit Banner Boutique on Etsy!

I love H & R!! It all started off when I shot their wedding back in 2008, then their family portraits in 2009 and now I got to document the B family as a new family of 4! Doesn’t baby Logan have the sweetest face you’ve ever seen? And he was so good! Never once did he cry. He just slept through the entire shoot! That’s 2 newborns in a row! Lucky me!
H & R: Thank you for choosing me to document yet another special time in your lives! Both Luke and Logan are adorable and you are a beautiful family! I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!! xoxo

I was so happy when Tanith’s mommy contacted me to photograph their second baby. I photographed her maternity and newborn portraits of their first baby Tieran. Sweet baby Tanith looks just like her big brother! Tanith was a DREAM to photograph! And she’s a rockstar baby! She never cried once through out the entire 3 hour session and she was the first baby ever to not soil any of the blankets! ha ha!
S & D: I am so happy for you guys! It was such a joy to photograph you and your beautiful family! Congratulations again!! xoxo

I cannot believe that a year has already passed by since my beautiful baby girl came into this world! It makes me very teary eyed, but I’m so excited to watch her grow and see what happens next with her since she’s always keeping me on my toes! She’s truly a sweet baby and I always say that the perfect way to describe Chloe is that she is a little ball of sunshine. She’s always smiling and laughing and now that she’s walking, she’s always trying to keep up with her big brother. I used to think (before she was mobile) that she was going to be just like all of the other little girls who just sit quietly and play with dolls. But now I think she is going to be out chasing her big brother Landon and climbing up on everything, despite her girly style. It’s only a matter of time.
On Saturday, March 5th, we celebrated Chloe’s 1st birthday here at our home with all of our friends and family. My sister and I planned every little detail for weeks and worked very hard and I’m still in shock that we were able to pull it all off! Since Chloe is so sweet, I decided to go with a Sweet Shoppe theme with girly pink and lemonade yellow colors and with a bit of a shabby chic twist. Nicole from Sweet Sensations provided the AMAZING candy station and ruffled streamers for the backdrop of the dessert table. Katelyn from Katelyn’s Cakes provided the awesome glitter cupcakes, lollipop/pinwheel cookies on a stick and the glitter chocolate covered strawberries. I’m still in shock that this girl is still in High School! She’s amazing! Nancy from A to Zebra Celebrations made the adorable “Happy Birthday Chloe” banner and my cousin Amy made the banner on the dessert table that read “Chloe’s Sweet Shoppe”. I purchased Chloe’s Pettiromper and fluffy cupcake shirt from Chic Baby Rose on Etsy. And of course Chloe’s FABULOUS headband was from the amazing Lindsay from Banner Boutique on Etsy. All of Chloe’s headbands are from Banner Boutique! LOVE her! My sister and I made the chocolate covered marshmallows, flower chocolate pops, raspberry lemonade sangria, food labels, flower arrangements and ALL of those flower pom poms!! (which took FOREVER! lol!) Thanks again to my amazing sister Kate for all of your help! I don’t know what I would have done with out you. I love you!

So here was my sweet Chloe Madison when she was just days old:
And now here at 1 year old!






just a quick sneak peek for you Debbie!!! Enjoy!! xoxo

This was my first beach session of 2011. It’s been a while since I’ve shot at the beach and it was a nice change of scenery! It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day. It was about 80 degrees out so the beach was packed. But we had a blast!
V & M: I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek! I think we got some amazing images and I hope you love them! You have such a beautiful family and I had a ball playing with the kids! Enjoy!

The last time I saw sweet little Jolie, she was just days old. And now look at her! Isn’t she just the sweetest little thing ever?? She is such a doll and a breeze to photograph! She had many outfit changes and was happy as a little clam! I absolutely adore this family! M & R: It was a pleasure photographing you all again. I had so much fun with you and I can’t wait to watch Jolie grow! Thank you for allowing me to capture such a big milestone of turning 1 year old! xoxo

Aren’t Kaydence & Logan ADORABLE?? Their mommy, Jules is my amazing hairstylist! She rocks!!

This is my family. I always shoot my parents holiday card photo. LOVED the colors in this shoot! And it was right in my backyard!
