Maddie : Senior

It had been a while since I'd done a senior session, so I was really looking forward to this shoot!  Though Maddie and I hadn't officially met, I felt like we had... we have so many friends in common!  I had met her mom and was really excited to take Maddie's pics.  I was glad I didn't scare them off by being HUGE pregnant for their shoot.  They were patient with me - and even helped me carry equipment!

Maddie, it was a joy taking your pictures and I look forward to taking more in the spring!  Have a wonderful senior year!

A few of my faves from yesterday...

One more of Mason

It was a tad chilly to do bare-bottom pics on our outdoor shoot, so Courtney, Ryan, and Mason came over to take a few.

Just had to share the cuteness... all 5lbs 13oz of it :)

New Arrival: Mason Ford!

Oh my goodness the cuteness...

Courtney and Ryan recently welcomed their first baby, beautiful boy Mason into the world!  I was SO excited when Courtney asked me to take newborn pics for them.  First, I hadn't met Mason yet.  Second, I am in the snap-count of this pregnancy and was craving some itty bitty baby time. :)

Mason is just 9 days old in these pictures we took last night.  He's so tiny!  So cute!  So sweet... I couldn't get enough.

Here are a few of my favorites - congratulations Ryan and Courtney!

Louella : 3 months

I just love little girls.  I know I'm probably partial because I have a daughter... but I tell ya, there's just something about little girls!!

Neely and her husband Kevin had a beautiful baby girl in May - Louella.  Now she's 3 months old and I am honored they chose me to shoot their pictures!  Neely is the sister of a bride who's wedding I shot last year, so thanks for the connection, Laura! :)

Louella came with so many cute outfits, as well as a handmade cradle that was made for her mommy when she was a baby. :) Throughout the shoot she was so calm and happy!  She did amazing!  It was really humid, but she took it like a champ.  Towards the end she got really sleepy (as you'll see), then cashed out... which made for some a-dor-a-ble pics.

It was really hard to pick favorites from this session... but here are a few!  Congrats Neely and Kevin - Louella is beautiful and sweet. :)

Liam : 9 months

I feel like I haven't posted in forever!  With summer travels and craziness (as well as the HEAT), I didn't have a shoot for a while.  I was so ready to jump back in... and with one of my faves - Liam!

Liam has changed SO much in the last three months!  He seems like such a big boy with his crawling and standing and stuff. :)  We did a late evening shoot to try to avoid the heat, and he did great!  He was happy and curious, which made for some fun pics.

Here are a few of my favorites from last night:

Alli & Carson

You might remember Alli from this post last fall.  This time we did a session with just Alli and Carson.  Austin is in the military and is away right now.  Though we wish Austin could have joined us, this was a fun session because we got pictures to send him for Father's Day! :)

In the midst of the humidty, we had a decent evening - and Carson did AWESOME! :) We played around downtown (climbing lots of steps), then went to a playground to finish up. :)

Here are some of my faves from last night!

Liam : 6 months

My how time flies!!  It's hard to believe that Liam is already 6 months old!  You can see his newborn pics here and his 3 month pics here.  He sits up like a pro, can push up on to his hands and knees (might have a crawler on your hands soon, Lindsay!), eats solids, and still has the sweetest smile ever.

We ventured out to the park yesterday - we had to wake Liam from his nap, but he didn't seem to mind!  We braved the heat, humidity, crowds, and fish smell to get these pics - here are a few of my favorites!
