The day after throwing my sister-in-law's baby shower, we get a call at home that she had just checked into the hospital with contractions. I started praying that her labor would be quick and easy; God certainly answered those prayers! 1 hour and 15 minutes later, we got a text "It's a boy!" Even before the baby was born, I was dreaming up the different poses to do for his newborn photos. This newborn shoot came with some special VIP treatment - My hubby baked lasagna for all of us while baby Colton took a nap. It was great being able to spend time with them and it was a bonus to get to hold baby Colton. I cannot wait to spoil him as he grows up - too much fun!

So it's been a while since I have posted any photos - I had myself a much-needed break.  I was so busy that I had forgotten why I decided to start doing portraiture photography.  The session I had the other day reminded me exactly why I love to take photos.  This family's little girl was too cute!  She reminded me of a Cabbage Patch doll - big blue eyes and chubby cheeks.  Just cute!  She apparently is already into boys - she couldn't stop flirting with my husband as he helped me out with the photos.  Looks like I have some pretty cute competition. :)

Audrey just recently turned one year old so we took a few photos in her birthday outfit which was handmade by a friend and previous client, Gwen.  She makes tons of cute items for babies and children - check out her site here: Stitches & Seams by Gwen.  
Alright, well onto the photos!  Enjoy!

So, to catch up on the last few months... Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!  There.  Now that's done.  Honestly though, it has been a long time since I updated the blog, but only because I've been beyond busy with sessions for the holidays.  Let's see - Since I've updated last, I did a senior photoshoot, family shoot, a wedding and a newborn session.  Phew!  I can't believe I did all of that mixed in with the holidays and traveling.  So, instead of updating each and every session, I figured I would just post all of my favorite photos in one post... this post.  It's a long one, so sit back, relax and enjoy!

Chris & Hope are the cutest couple I've seen! Usually during my sessions I have to pose the couple and as soon as the photo is taken, they stand and wait for my next instructions. With Chris & Hope I found myself having to keep my camera trained on them because as soon as I told them the shot was good, they'd do something even cuter! Their love for each other just emanated from them - it would have been impossible not to photograph it. You can just see their love for each other in their photos.

Chris & Hope - You guys are great! I wish you the best in your marriage!

We did a photoshoot the other day of an awesome senior!  Ashlee is a very fun, outgoing, and beautiful young lady, inside and out.  I spent a few hours with her for the shoot and it felt like I've known her forever.  If you have a chance to get to know Ashlee, you should - you won't regret it!  She is also into photography as well - go check out her stuff here!
