On Vacation

The F. family and I met up a couple of weeks ago while they were on vacation.  They showed up after a few days at Disney, so happy and care-free, popping jelly beans in their mouths while we walked to the beach.  I loved them right away, and had so much fun photographing them. :)

F. fam, it was a blast, thank you for inviting me to spend the evening with your family!

Welcoming Jackson

So excited to share these image from both the F. fam’s maternity and newborn sessions!  I had so much fun with them, and knew 15 minutes into their maternity session that I was just going to love them. :)

Loved the spring blooms that arrived just in time for Jen’s maternity session!

And then it was baby time!

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Or get over the adorableness of the fur-baby who was not yet ready to give up his position as center of attention. He and his sister assisted me throughout the session.  Baby Jackson didn’t seem to mind sharing the spotlight. ;)

F. fam, it was so awesome to work with all … five … of you! ;)  Give that boy a squeeze from me! xoxo

Dylan

I adored every minute with this family.  From cuddling and capturing their sweet new boy, giggling at his feisty cries, chatting with mom and dad (mostly begging mom to give me design tips hahaha!), talking books with Grandma, and just being in the presence of a family celebrating their precious new addition … I love that this is my job, and the families I get to meet through it.

D. family, it was such a pleasure, and Dylan could not be more perfect.  Thank you for allowing me to capture this time for you all!

I especially love these photos below; I was lucky enough to be there when Grandpa showed up to meet his new grandbaby for the first time.  I may or may not have shed a happy tear when I saw them again on upload. ;)

Abbey

Ethan is still, to this day, one of my most mentioned clients … “You did this one photo, with a baby boy who is holding his hand up like he is wondering what the heck is happening …?”  Followed by *giggle giggle* and then my giggle too … His one year old session is one of my favs of all time as well.

But Ethan has grown a bit since then, and I couldn’t wait to meet up with him and hear about his awesome news. :)

His baby sister Abbey was born this past January.  I was honored to head back over there and capture this awesome family’s newest arrival.  She was just as adorable and chunky and sweet as her baby brother, who I loved catching up and playing super heroes with during feeding breaks.

Abbbey was a super model for me, I could not get enough of those cheeks (!!!) and all that hair.  Y. fam, it was a blast as usual, thank you for allowing me this opportunity!

Henry

LOTS to catch up with on the blog, I’m looking forward to sharing lots of favorites from recent sessions!

One of the very best parts of my job is getting to meet families for maternity sessions, followed a few weeks later by getting to capture their new arrivals.  I love seeing the anxious excitement of soon-to-be-parents, then the loving adoration of their sweet baby.  I am so blessed to get to see families like this one grow. :)
