It has been such an honor to photograph this family for the past few years… You might ask, “Why July?”… Well, because that is mom and dad’s anniversary. Now isn’t that so precious! Doing a session every year to celebrate your wedding anniversary. I love it!
It always makes my heart happy to see a couple still so in love after many years of marriage. This is one very special family!
Thanks Chipman family for the morning full of outdoor play! I had a great time!!!

two blonds and two brunettes :: Children's Portraits
I just love and adore this sweet family! It has been such a delight over the past years to watch these kids grow.
Can you imagine the challenge of being a big sister to three little brothers? Anna handles it with such grace, maturity and, most of all, patience!
Here are the three little monkeys… trying to look settled for a moment. You know boys have a million better things to do then pose for a picture.
We left their house and headed for a field where we were able to run a bit and do some berry picking. I think, if you asked them, this was a huge improvement over sitting still for pictures.
Thank you so much for a wonderful morning full of hugs, smiles, bugs, heat, laughs, berries and fun!

outdoor baby :: Children's Portraits
Ahh- my very favorite age to photograph! Big smiles….not mobile…
This little one was a joy from the minute she arrived. Happy, laughing, and so very cute in all her little outfits!
The last time I saw her she was just four-days-old. Adeline is much bigger now but she has the same sweet disposition she had as a newborn!
Look at these precious little hands… grabbing for every last piece of dirt.
I brought this tutu and head “thing” with me for Adeline to wear. The minute we put the headband on… I looked and said, “that is over the top, let’s take it off.” However, I had taken these two images before we pulled it. I was sure I would not choose them as final images to show the parents. However, when they came up on my screen… I fell in love with them. Maybe it is the “over the top” that makes them just so adorable.
Such a fun morning. Thanks so much for inviting me to play.

sweet little alex! :: Newborn Portraits
Want to know something amazing? Baby Alex was born on the same day as baby Ava and their Mommies are best of friends. What an amazing story these moms will one day share with their little ones. It was lots of fun to meet baby Alex and to see his big brother Anthony again!
I know first hand how wonderful it is to have two boys close in age. My boys constantly love on me and are so precious. Last night we, as a family, watched our wedding video from nine years ago. My boys kept saying, “mom, you look so beautiful.” My boys are just tender and sweet like that. I know this mommy will forever be so adored by her boys!
Such a beautiful family and so wonderful to see everyone again. Anthony is now a big two-year-old and ready to be the BEST big brother.

welcome sweet little ava :: Newborn Portraits
Two years ago I had the pleasure of welcoming big sister Olivia and being her first photographer. What a blessing it was to now be a part of Ava’s beginnings.
Clearly Olivia is all excited about welcoming baby Ava. Olivia was one of the most well behaved older siblings I have photographed! It is hard to have your world rocked by a new little one but Olivia is taking it all in stride.
When Olivia was born, we used this same blanket for some of her portraits. It is fun to create a similar looking portrait to hang next to her big sister’s portrait.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and stays cool! My family and I are off to welcome a very special baby. Our niece, Stephanie, has given birth to sweet little Emily. Jeff and I are now a GREAT Aunt and Uncle. How much fun!!!!

three-months-old :: Children's Portraits
Three-months-old is such a sweet age. Finally the baby is becoming aware of the world, he can smile and respond when interacted with and he begins to clearly let you know what he likes (and does not like).
At one point Marshall became very fussy and unhappy. Mom and I were grateful when Marshall finally fell into a deep sleep and we could leave him alone for a bit. When he awoke… we had this….
I think the nap did him a world of good! Even big brother was in a better mood after Marshall’s nap. Luckily, little Marshall is such a precious babe that even when he is not happy… he is still irresistible!
Thanks Marshall and Graham for a fun morning hanging out at your house!
