One of life's amazing joys...

...is seeing my best friend expecting another miracle! Gretchen is my bestest friend and it is such an honor to do a maternity photo session for her and her family. All babies are miracles, but with her firstborn, Dieter---we realized the power of prayer and just how miraculous a baby is. Gretchen, I am so glad that you are not restricted and put on bedrest this time around, that you haven't had any major scares and that God has blessed you with another pregnancy. I had fun with you and I can't wait to meet your new miracle soon. Gretchen, Scott, Dieter and baby #2,---we love you!

Caleb

Caleb is one of those little guys that I knew was fun but had to take some time to get him to come out of his shell before he started to let his personality shine. His mommy told me he liked Lightning McQueen from the movie "Cars." I have an entire toybox full of those so I was set. I brought a bag of m&ms and I was good to go. After a little while he started to show his handsome smile. The problem of course (as it is with trying to photograph any two year old boy)...is keeping up with him! : )

Boy oh boy, oh boy....oh boy.

I am the mom of two wonderful, but very active little boys. I think my life is pretty busy. Whenever I see this family with four boys, my life suddenly doesn't seem so busy anymore. :) What a great bunch of boys! Well behaved and fun, and Angie it is always so nice to see you. Thank you for having me hang out with your cuties!

Jason and Lauryn

I had such a good time with this family! The kids were so sweet and we explored the town together. Lauryn showed me a few dance moves and was so excited to look at the camera and smile. Jason loved seeing the water and was thrilled to see the big waterfall. This was just another day when I came home and realized how blessed I am to do what I do.

I had some extra time one day...

:)

Boys!!!

I felt right at home with this family. Their boys are about the same ages mine were exactly a year ago. Boys like to run and be active so I was in my element---I chase my kids around all day! I love that they brought their sweet puppy, Josie. If they could only make a carbon copy of that dog, I would bring one home. The boys did great and loved their m&ms. Thank you for having me spend time with your family.

Ride em, cowboy!

Happy birthday, Avary!

Today we managed to fit in a mini-session for Avary's birthday. I have seen this little guy before, but I have never seen him so handsome! I am loving his hair! And that adorable shirt---he was stylin'!!! Although my son was bopping me in the head with his froggy while I did two mini-shoots this morning, it was still productive and we had a good time! : ) Thank you, Erin for bringing him over! Enjoy his big first birthday party!

Lillian 6 months!

I love having baby Lillian in---those cheeks...I just want to pinch so bad. : ) She is so sweet and sat good for us while big brother played happily in the background. It is so fun for me to see her grow---Kristen, thank you for bringing her in!

Kristi--Maternity Session

Kristi and Jeremy were so easy to work with and I had so much fun! She was willing to try new poses and since she is so photogenic, she made my job so easy. I hope you love the photos and look back on them often to remember this amazing time in your life.
