Liberty {6 months old}

I absolutely loved doing this photo session for a few reasons. First, this little blessing was so long-awaited by this faithful, amazing family, and seeing her grow up healthy and happy in their arms is absolutely heart-warming and so special. Secondly, we have been friends with Liberty's mom and dad since my husband and I started dating many years ago, and have been praying that the Lord would bless them with children from day one. Now they have two adorable, amazing kiddos! Third, even though Liberty was ready for a nap, she was just the happiest little sweetheart during our entire shoot. She made my job very easy! What a little love bug...

Clara {6 months old}

This little cutie has grown so quickly! I took her newborn photos back in November (see them here) when she was just a tiny little peanut, and her 3 month photos in February (see them here). Even then she was a smiley girl, but her 6 months photos were the easiest yet! I don't think she stopped smiling the entire time, and just having her mommy around her did the trick. I didn't even have to make silly noises and faces to get her to crack a grin! All mommy had to do was talk to her, and she was all smiles. What a sweetheart, huh?!

Sweet Annabel {1.5 years old}

This little lady had a rough start to our day together, but who wouldn't be upset when one of your pretty balloons had just popped? She warmed up after a quick snack and some playtime, then we headed outside for some fun with the flowers! Annabel is such a adorable little sweetheart, and I'm so glad we were able to capture this moment in time for her and her awesome family.

It was such a pleasure working with you guys again, and I loved seeing how much Annabel has grown! Thanks for a great session! xoxo, Julie

 

Belle + Luci + Mommy

This photo shoot was so much fun, and we were able to do it during my favorite time of day for photos - the evening! The light is always so golden and soft, and it makes for magical images. Plus, my subjects were adorable and gorgeous, so my job was super easy!

Kooper {one year old}

I have been fortunate enough to watch this little cutie pie grow up over the last year, and he just gets cuter every time I see him! We started when he was only 11 days old (check out his newborn photos here), and he was such a little peanut! Then six quick months passed, and we had another super fun session (see his 6 month photos here). At 9 months we met again (see his 9 month photos here), and then it was already time to take his one year photos! Time sure does fly, and I've enjoyed every minute of the time I've been able to spend with little Kooper and his family. 

Thanks so much for a wonderful year! You guys are amazing and have such a beautiful family! xoxo, Julie

Baby Ian {7 days new} | lifestyle newborn session

Welcome to the world, Ian Douglas!

April 3rd, 2013          6lbs. 15 oz.          19.7 inches

Ian's mommy & daddy chose his name because it is one of their favorites, but is also daddy's brother's name! His middle name, Douglas, is in honor of his paternal grandfather. This little guy's entrance into the world was much anticipated and not lacking excitement. He was born via emergency C-Section after 3 hours of pushing. He spent the first two hours of his sweet life on his mama's chest, then was rushed off to the NICU due to tachypnea and concern for infiltrates & pneumonia. It was quite surreal for mom and dad to be separated from their new bundle of joy for his first few days of life. Happily, after several days of observation in the NICU, he was healthy enough to come home to be with his big sister, Harper, and his adoring mommy and daddy. Now they are settling in as a family of four, and I was fortunate enough to be a part of it and capture some precious moments with Ian and his family.
