I am always so interested in how much or how little siblings look like their parents. Often I will see a child and immediately know which parents that child belongs to. In some families, genetics are so strong that you can see a batch of siblings who all look so much alike. That is certainly the case with this favorite family:

I believe it might be hard to look at these children’s images from the same time in their lives and know which one is which.

Claiborne has a habit of sticking her tongue out of her mouth. This habit is super adorable and might be the one clue to knowing which baby is which in certain pictures in the years to come!

I fell in love with this sweet family the first time I met them. This momma has such a kind, sweet heart and she is always so gracious and lovely. She is also pretty hilarious and I always leave our conversations giggling over some of the things we talk about! The Daddy is so super with his girls. He is patient and kind with them and, in turn, these girls ADORE their Daddy! Families like this give me such hope as I think about my kids future and the children my kids will be growing up with.

I leave you with this last image of Adeline. Her hair is AMAZING (all girls out there are so jealous!) and she is such a bunch of fun to be around! I can’t wait to see this family again in just a few months for Claiborne’s one-year-session!

strong genes

three years later

Where is time going? It was only yesterday we were taking three-month-old pictures of sweet Lydie and now she is completely past the baby stage and into being a big girl. Someone said the other day, “the weeks are long but the years are short.” Can I just get an Amen to that?! I certainly notice that in my own family but I especially notice it with clients families. It has been a year since I have seen this family. Surely some of you remember this:

Hudson was none to pleased to be out of his momma’s arms for even a minute. We would have mom run and hide to see if Dad, Lydie and I could calm him down but it was to no avail. This little fella is just like my little guys… he adores his momma!  Luckily, this year he had reached a new stage where was  happy to be a little more independent (while still more than pleased to be with mom!). So, we had lots of happy times together for this session!

Lydie is such a great big sister and she is such a joy to be around! She is the kind of kid I just want to hang out with for an afternoon. In the image below you can see how she is shepherding and guiding little Hudson and he begins his journey through life.

Hudson is precious, adventurous, and full of all things boyish. He is certainly adorable and such a delight to be around!

Mom reminded me that this is session number eight we have shared together! I have to admit, I am so humbled and happy to have been able to connect with this family and all of us “do life together” over the past years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It has certainly been a blessing in my life!

life goes on…

It was time again for me to photograph this sweet, blessed, family as they welcomed another precious little boy in to the world. These parents are definitely boy-makers, this is their 3rd little guy in 3 years!

Mommy is as laid-back as can be and knows how much she needs to cherish this time before she blinks and he’s all grown up.

Daddy is proud of his newest little man as well. Boys definitely rule in this house but that just means TONS of lovin’ for Mama.

Here’s the rest of the bunch- the older two boys are as cute as they can be. Last time I worked with this family I was doing the middle child’s newborn session! That wasn’t so long ago, my how time flies.

I leave you with one last sweet image of the little one. He is such a mellow baby, definitely a great quality in a 3rd child. Congrats to this much deserving family!

It seems like lately many of my sweet babies are not sitting until eight or nine months. Why you ask… Well, the one thing all these babies have in common is-

baby on pink ruga big sister! A big sister to watch over them, bring them what they need, spoil them rotten and fulfill all their teeny tiny desires. These smart babies think, “Why sit? It’s to much work when I already have all that I need.”

Big sister Ellery has learned an important lesson in her short five years of life… smile and be happy when Miss Elizabeth comes to play. Ellery was a wee newborn when our relationship began. Together we have ridden the roller coaster of photography, me behind the camera and she in front. Some of our sessions were a little bit of a challenge. However, with this session, I think we have hit a major turning point in our lifelong relationship! Ellery was joyful, talkative and hilarious at moments. It was the most fun session we have shared yet! However, as any of us with multiple children know, one child tends to shine bright when the other struggles. Poor Lindley started off with a little bit of a struggle. She was hungry and, we guess, tired. Bummer.

However, a little applesauce later and we were back to happy!

I adore both these girls and I can’t wait to watch their little relationship continue to grow!

eight months

This sweet little princess came to us a few months ago, with her lovely family, for their first session. We had such fun that we decided to commemorate her life at 8 months with her very own session! Isn’t she just TOO cute?!

This family makes some super cute babies. We couldn’t get enough of their big, shiny, blue eyes and sweet personalities. What a joy!

I love this image! It shows her excitement and pride at her recently acquired standing skills. Walking is up next!

Big brother is quite a handsome little guy- and super smart too! He has great vocabulary skills and was telling us about how he had gone to the Hawk’s game with his Dad! Precious!

What a beautiful family! We had a great time and look forward to seeing you again in the future!

We hope your holiday season is going well as we approach Christmas this Sunday! Little Nico would like to remind you that even though the holidays can be stressful, it’s always important to remember to be jolly. If that face doesn’t melt your heart- I don’t know what will.

These first time parents sure did hit the jackpot with this guy. He’s just TOO cute!

Playtime with Mama! He would get so excited that he would practically be vibrating. Too funny!

Even though you can’t tell from this particular image, we think he gets that big grin from Daddy.

Happy Holidays to this precious family! We hope all of our clients experience this kind of love and joy this holiday season. xoxo
