sneak peak - the trinidads!

I had the opportunity to photograph the sweet Trinidad family again this year at the beach.  Sweet baby girl #3 is coming in November so it was a fun opportunity to photograph their family before her arrival.

The girls are becoming more and more beautiful by the second.  I am so serious.  But, not only are they so beautiful, they have some of the sweetest hearts.  I am always so impressed with how well behaved they are (gosh, how old am I?) and I'm also always in awe of the way Gretchen and Alvaro parent.  They are so incredibly intentional with their girls and I am so thankful for that example.  It definitely pushes me to be more intentional in my parenting which is sometimes so hard!

We had a great time at the beach and the girls were thrilled at the end when they got to spend a little time running in the water :)

sneak peek - wells is one!

Y'all may remember Rob, Joy and Wells from previous photo shoots.  I think one of my favorite things is photographing a family over and over again.  I got to take Joy's maternity pictures, Wells' newborn pictures and photographed his first birthday (need to post those sometime!).  And then, I got the opportunity for a one year old photo shoot.  Wells is one of the happiest babes ever.  He loves his mama and daddy, hates the grass and is super smiley!     

sneak peek - the caballero family!

I got to spend some time with the Caballero family a few weeks ago!  It was so fun!  They were one of the first families I photographed a few years back and I've so enjoyed being able to take pictures of them each year since.  

Jana asked us to take a picture like I had taken of them back in 2011.  It's so interesting to compare the two!  The kiddos have grown so much!

Patterson Family Sneak Peek

A couple of weeks ago I got to spend an hour with the sweetest family!  We met at Pullen Park and spent the hour laughing and chasing Miss Victoria.  It was so fun.  She is full of personality and isn't she the cutest?!?

Thank you, Christina and Donald, for the opportunity to capture your family during this sweet season of life!  It was such a fun evening.  Here's a little sneak peek of our session!

boger family - sneak peek!

 I got to spend some time with the Boger family about a week ago.  Miss Lily was five days old and as squishy and cuddly as you can get!  Her sisters, Brooke and Savannah, were quite smitten with their new sister.  

Newborn shoots are quickly becoming one of my favorites.  I love visiting families just home from the hospital.  I get to capture them in their new normal.  The real life stuff.  All that matters in this time is family.  Everything else is pushed to the side and time moves slowly.  It's a precious time and I so enjoy entering into it with people.  Not to mention, newborns smell so sweet.  So that definitely makes it fun!
