Kyree + Jakhai

I have been so lucky to book up this fall. The weather has been amazing, which makes me even more excited to get out for my sessions.

Yesterday was another gorgeous fall day and I got to spend part of the afternoon with these two little guys.  Adorable!!

Kyree is turning 4 soon.. so he was the star of the show. 
Absolutely hilarious. He was awesome for me.


You can't help but smile at Jakhi's dimples. Go ahead and try... you just can't do it. :)


Casual Family Portrait.
Just try not to smile at them...
Another fun family portrait.
As you can imagine.. two boys can be a handful.. but they were so great for me. Thanks guys!

Meet Toby

Quiet and Pensive.. but a little bit of a show off... :) That would be this little guy. Toby was adopted from Guatemala this spring, and this is his very first professional debut. When dad first introduced us, Toby was a bit shy... but we became buds quite fast. He followed me around the house, gave me hugs, and even kept wanting to sit on my lap. Such a sweetheart! Mom & Dad showed me all of the fun things he is learning from them... and Toby got quite the kick out of showing off as we clapped in excitement. At just 18 months, he is really a smart little man!

I love this sweet little face... 

I love subtle things that parents do.. things you can't prompt them to do.. but you must pay attention and catch. 




I loved all these little detail shots.. he has such cute chub :)

Thank you Tracy & Greg for inviting me to come and photograph your new family. It was a joy hearing all about it.

The Perfect Baby Bump

I have been having a lot of pregnant bellies lately...I am loving it.  This session had the perfect baby bump, a very entertaining couple, gorgeous weather and yummy light. I couldn't as for anything else... oh yes.. one more thing... they brought their own chase lounge to cart around in the field!!! Ahhh how I love my clients!

Dani & Alex + extreme love & adoration+ perfect sun flare = a rockin' shot!!!!!!

A little twist on the regular kiss... how sweet.
Alex looks beautiful... If you walk behind her you can't even tell she is pregnant... she is in great shape!
Dani is so funny.. he likes to hold his tummy too :)
This shot grasps the essence of them. A completely natural shot.. and I think their joy shows through with ease.
The baby (they don't know the sex yet) moved a lot during the session. And when it doesn't... Dani gives the belly a little poke to get "him" (I think it's a boy) moving.
I forgot to mention that Alex and Dani are a past client of mine. I photographed their wedding! It is so fun to watch my clients grow in their relationship.
This shows the comedic side of Dani. He thought it would be funny to put a soccer ball in his shirt ... It was hysterical. He stood with his hand on his back, rubbed his tummy, and looked down at it with adoration. I love it when clients have ideas.. they end up having a great time with it. Good job Dani!
Ummm... this fabulous field was at our second location and I am absolutely in love with every single image that came from it. 
I told you... Perfect Baby Bump!!!
There is Dani trying to get baby to kick.. and a little smile from Alex as she thinks it is so sweet.
Alex & Dani... I can not thank you enough for letting me share this new journey with you. I am so excited about this session I am going to burst. You rocked it and I can't wait for you to see the rest... so many, many more! :)

Isabelle & Nathan

Meet Isabelle and Nathan. Very Sweet, curious, and full of life. As their car pulled up next to mine, they both waved  at me, full of smiles and excitement. 

  

Isabelle is such a sweet heart. She had her shy moments, but we warmed her right back up and got her giggling again.

Nathan is quite the ham for the camera. There is not an ounce of shyness to him. I joked around with him the whole time and he made the session a piece of cake. He looks so cute with a little gel in his hair :)
Their friend, Zoe, came along for the ride as well.
I just adore watching the body language on kids as they laugh. The way they twist and turn, play with their hands and feet... all makes the image very natural.
These both were so dang cute, I just couldn't decide.

So sweet
Oh man!... Look at those faces!

Nathan loves the water... so of course he is the leader.

They are having their birthday party this weekend together... so here's Nathan... It's my party!! :)

"We're off to see the wizard.. the wonderful wizard of Oz"....

Mom-to-be Continued

This is the belly from Friday's sunset pregnancy post. This mom-to-be is so dang cute. She is the tiniest little thing with this tiny little belly, and she only has about 6 weeks left! She was such a great model, very relaxed, and laughed at herself when she couldn't figure out what I was asking her to do.... those ended being the most natural portraits of her. 

FYI... if you would like to see the images larger, click on them.

Yes, she still completely fits in her normal jeans. Do you hate her ;)

The little man was moving around during the session. It made for a fun sequence. Doesn't Crystal look awesome?!


This child is going to have the most beautiful eyes. Mom & dad both have the most striking eyes. 

Beautiful Mom-to-be

Yesterday evening, I had the pleasure to photograph a friend of mine. She is the cutest little pregnant mom-to-be. Her body is 100% in tact, skin is perfect, and she is radiating. Here is a sneak peek.... 

More to come. Happy Friday!

Happy Belated B-day to my cuz!

I have been wanting to share this session for about a month... but had to keep it under wraps as it was a surprise for my cousin. These are his two favorite "sweet sweets" girls.  His girlfriend wanted to do something different for him this year, and I was all for it.

I love this shot.. this was after 30 minutes of disobedience..ha! She listens quite well to her dad.. but not so much for us girls. She's a daddy's girl. BUT, she has this thing with her leash that as soon as you put it on her she stops moving. Soo.. that worked out well to our advantage for the majority of the session! :)

Hmm... love this one too.
Pup pup has gotten so big! I love her stance here.
This looks like she went to puppy heaven as the wind blew in her face :)
Rockin' it! She looks like Steph's guard dog!
Sorry for the late birthday wish, cuz! Hope you had a good one and enjoyed the pics of your girls :)
