Ooh, little miss Hailey is just too sweet. She has the most beautiful, perfect newborn skin. Photographing newborns is always such a treat...it is so quiet, calm, and relaxing. And it was this way for Hailey, too. Her parents are over-the-moon for her. I love capturing the love and awe a first-time parent has for their little one. Introducing Hailey...
This couple could not be sweeter. They got married on the beach in San Diego, just the two of them, one friend, and the pastor. It was so simple and lovely. And they were so lovely, too. I hope so much that I get to photograph them again!
This is Gavin. His mama is a photographer. She has been invaluable in helping me along my journey as one, too. Their family is super sweet and we had fun planning some things to try for Gavin's first birthday session! I think my favorite thing from the session was a quilt we used that Kim and Brandon have had in all of their family photos. It was so fun to add it to another one!
I loved photographing this family and being able to capture moments for them. It is always my goal to catch the moments that I would love to see captured for my own family. It was a blast doing this for Kim.
Happy 1st birthday, Mr. Gavin!
My amazing friend Lindsay is graduating from Purdue with her PhD, and I am so super proud of her! She is moving away to take a job at Michigan State, and I am so sad to see her go. I know that she will make tons of friends there; she has an amazing personality and so very many talents. Her mom wanted to get some graduation portraits done of Lindsay and her faithful pup Sunny (I mean, the dog goes on 10+ mile runs with her, how much more faithful can you get??) before she moved. It was lots of fun, and Sunny did a great job as a first-time model!!! Good luck, Lindsay, in Michigan (um, and Go Boilers)!!!
I made myself schedule in my girls in their Easter dresses. I usually try to be less "matchy" for pictures, but I love the sweetness of sweet little sister-girls in matching clothing. And I probably won't be able to do it for much longer, as my oldest is turning 5 soon (tear). For now, they love to match, so I am holding onto it. I love taking pictures of my girls. They are my biggest inspiration, my greatest accomplishment, and their beauty is astounding to me. I love how they love each other, and how my oldest is starting to help her little sister do new things. This time, she kept trying to teach her how to blow dandelions...I am glad I have these pictures so I don't forget these moments of teaching and bonding between my sweet, sweet girls. These moments are what I cherish most in photography and what I always strive to capture for clients. And now I will share some of them with you.
