sessions family 2017

I had such a blast with this family back in May! The green woods, the perfect summer evening light, and two of the CUTEST little boys around! This is the exact kind of session that I love the most because the kids were so comfortable and easy going that their cute little personalities just burst out of the photos. Thanks for an awesome evening, Sessions family! We love you guys and we miss you TONS!

Little heartbreaker already!

That grin is going to melt hearts!

Little boys are SO much fun!! Prime example, right here!

Brothers are best friends born into the same family.

 

Yeah!

I always, always get Mom & Dad photos. They’re where it all began! The start of a family – they should be documented, just the two of them. And when they’re so gorgeous together, how could you not photograph them?!

Onward, Dad!!!

This handsome kiddo had the awesome opportunity to get baptized this year! He was so easy going and just fun during his session. I loved hanging out with this guy! Congratulations on your choice to be baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Derek. Such an amazing, joyful, special decision.

luck birth–part one 2017

This was a first for me. I’ve never done a birth session so I was really excited, quite nervous, and a little anxious about it. I’m truly grateful that our good friends David & Jamie asked me (and trusted me) to shoot their birth story even though I had no experience. It was such an amazing experience for me – I had never witnessed a birth, even though I’ve had four babies myself, this was a completely new perspective for me. Giving birth is such a beautiful, amazing, breathtaking, and glorious event. The human body is so amazing and what women’s bodies go through during pregnancy and labor/delivery just leaves  you completely awestruck.

So thank you, David & Jamie, for having me be apart of this awesome day in your lives. I feel truly blessed to have been there with you. <3

David & Jamie’s birth story begins in the hospital, the night before. Jamie is a labor & delivery nurse at this hospital so it was really quite fun to see her with her coworkers during *her* labor & delivery. : ) The staff decorated her room and even had a cute sign on her door to welcome their sweet little boy into the world.

Jamie got unpacked and settled in for the night for a very big day that would start in the morning!

oliver 2017

Say hello to sweet Oliver. He is baby #4 to one of the sweetest, fun loving, amazing families ever! This session was just fun and relaxing. Oliver kept giving me his sweet little smile the entire time and I just wanted to gobble him up. He is the perfect little addition to his wonderful family. We love you Hortons! Congrats on sweet little Oliver, the cutest little chunk around. <3
