Baby Maddie!

Today I had the opportunity to hang out with Baby Maddie and her gorgeous mom, Meredith, at Meredith's parent's beautiful home. Meredith (who works with the amazing Tamara at Sophies) and I worked a wedding together this past weekend, and we finally managed to get our schedules to coordinate for a session! I am so excited that we did!

Baby Maddie is almost 9 months old, and has an absolutely amazing little face.


I loved watching her expressions...









This is the age where they just can't keep their little hands off my camera... Moms always freak out, but I love it :)



I really enjoy seeing mom's and babies interact. It's such a special relationship...





We did a quick bathtime before I left.



I had a blast with you guys! Let's get the next one on the schedule very soon. We need to let Dad join in on the next one, Meredith! Tell him we missed him!

Baby Bolton, Round Two!

I love hanging out with the Born's. I feel like part of the family. I started taking pictures of Barrett almost two years ago now, and it's just been so amazing seeing him grow up! When I showed up at his house this morning, and saw how big he had gotten, I was just amazed.

Here's Barrett from one of our first sessions...



And here's how big he is now!





I haven't seen Bolton since a few days after he was born... and he's grown like mad, as well!

Last time...



Today...



Just love his little face!



A few fun family pictures...













I love this series... Barrett was eating a sucker, and he decided to give Bolton a little taste. At 4 months old, it was probably his first candy :) He was very excited about it!



Brandon and Cam, thanks so much for having me over! Can't wait to see you in December.

Baby Reese- Session 9!

I think every time I see Baby Reese I love her more! She's just the cutest child ever!

Look at this amazingly sweet face!





I was so excited to show up at the house and find Roger and Libby there! Libby is such an awesome big sister, and really, Reese didn't want to be with anyone but her!

Tea parties...





Hanging out in the hammock...



Spending some time with the whole family.



Reese is going to be a cute kitty for Halloween. I adore her little black tutu! This is her "meow" face... She came out the door and started meowing immediately! So cute!



I'm out of time for now, so you'll have to check out the slideshow for the rest!

Missy, I adore you. I love Reese and Roger and Libby, too. You guys are wonderful, and I cherish every session with you guys! Can't wait til the next one!

(Reese wanted to hang out with me a lot, so we took a couple of self portraits. I love the last one, because you can see Missy in it!)

Baby Sadie, just turned one!

First thing this morning, I headed up the mountain to spend a few moments hanging out with Baby Sadie and Kerri. Baby Sadie just turned one, and Kerri wanted a few images to commemorate this new year!

Baby Sadie has grown up so much in the last few months, but she is certainly still absolutely adorable.










I love these images of Baby Sadie and her mom so much. I just love capturing relationships.







Sadie has just started walking, but seems to still prefer this humorous version of the crab walk. Check out the speed at which she's moving!



We did a quick costume change, and went back outside for a few more shots. This is my favorite tutu I have ever seen, and Sadie wore it well :)





At the end of the session, Sadie kept reaching for me. I put my hands out to her in return, and she wrapped me in a big hug. That's my favorite part of the job!





Thanks so much Kerri for having me back! Let's do it again soon!

Baby Ellie... all grown up!

This morning, I had the opportunity to go back to visit Baby Ellie for a follow-up portrait session! I hadn't seen her in over a year, so it was amazing to see how much she had grown!

We had so much fun, and even braved the scorching heat for a few images out in the backyard...







Then we moved inside to do a few of my favorite kind of portraits. I am always amazed by how many fun images we can squeeze out of 5 minutes of quiet time! Ellie wasn't very interested in relaxing on the couch, but Allison pulled out her proof book from the last session, and suddenly Ellie was very excited!





She's certainly a busy baby, but we managed to catch her in between moments as well as her busy ones!





Look at that smile! (And I think Allison is beautiful!)



Last time I shot with Ellie, we hung out with her pony, Romeo... today we rode toy horses instead! Ellie is a natural!



Spent a little time coloring...



And even a bit of snuggling!



Pops came over to hang out for a couple of images. It was wonderful to meet him!



Howard and Allison, thanks for inviting me back... Let's not let another year go by before we do this again!
