Happy friday! I’m excited to be posting pictures of a dear family today, one that I’ve had the sweet privilege of watching grow over the last few years. They are funny, they have a unique family personality, they roll with it, they enjoy each other well. And their newest addition has stolen my heart. Those […]
These two (soon to be three!) are dear friends. You know the kind of people you once-upon-a-time thought would be so great for each other, and as it turns out after a bowl of ice cream and some conversation at your house, they thought so, too? They’re those kinds of people. They are kind, generous […]
One year old! Our girl is one! This is still blowing my mind, three weeks later. We wrapped up our monthly pictures on her birthday, and I need to take a moment to give myself a giant thumbs up for keeping a consistent project going through this crazy year. It is fairly unlike me to […]
As promised, part 2 of Jenna & Erik’s happy day. And it was SO happy! Part 1 is here if you missed it. Congrats, again, Sutterfields! And can I just say, this wedding party was the bomb diggity.
July 26, 2014 was beautiful. I met Jenna through friends at church around the same time she started working at the advertising agency where I work. People kept telling me I would really like her, and they were spot on. She is, as the pastor said during their ceremony: “One laid back chicken.” She and […]
Uh oh… it’s almost birthday time! Which means last year at this time, I was in full belly mode, anxiously awaiting little miss’s arrival. I remember it was HOT, I could hardly remember not being pregnant, we were only 90% decided on her name, and we were dying to know what she would look like. […]
I got to hang out with this sweet little blondie the other night. Her three older sisters were on duty jumping, playing “peek” and making fun faces to get their baby sis to giggle. We recruited them at the end of our session to be official ice cream cone holders. Any excuse for ice cream […]
Some of our very favorite people came through town and I snagged an evening of pictures with them before they whisked their sweet baby Emma back to Oklahoma. “Emma-pants”, as her daddy affectionately calls her, is incredibly soft, dainty and sweet. Her little grin gives her away though – she’s got a world of mischief […]
She is ten months old! We’re having so much fun with her. My favorite thing lately is watching her learn things I would not have imagined happening already. She is mimicking us, and you can see her little wheels turning. I’ve added brushing her hair and brushing her teeth to the bedtime routine we try […]
How many times can I say “I love the Smiths”? Do I say it too much? I don’t know. I just really love the Smiths. They are some of my favorite people. I jump in my car after photos with them, totally exhausted, with worm slime and watermelon juice on my hands and the giddy […]
A few weeks back, my little lady turned 9 months old! That little milestone had me thinking so much about her independence. For 9 months, she was inside me, depending on me in the most natural, basic ways, and I was constantly and involuntarily meeting those little needs with every breath. I loved having her […]
My nephew is one year old. So crazy! I am so proud of him and so lucky to know him, much less be his aunt and get to spend special time seeing him become who he was created to be. He is thoughtful, funny and adventurous, and the cutest redhead ever. I think he likes […]
This session has me so excited. I get to shoot Erik & Jenna’s wedding in July! And since these two are so much fun, I’d say it’s going to be a pretty good time. They are so relaxed, clearly in love with one another, and up for anything. Erik is in the process of being […]
These photos are becoming increasingly difficult to take. Mainly due to the fact that Claire’s resting state involves bouncing and that chair cushion is the perfect surface for that. She also likes to explore beyond the edge of the chair, so Dad has to “spot” her lying on the floor, which is incredibly distracting for […]
Seven months old. Woah! I just could not love this girl any more. The collage of monthly pictures always makes me giddy with anticipation of what the next month and the next photo will reveal. It’s like unlocking little pieces of who she is as she grows. Lately, we are bursting with pent-up-all-winter-long energy. Spring […]
Yeah, yeah, I’m a month behind. I know. I will probably always be at least a month behind. 🙂 She grew again. Six months is so much fun. She is so funny – loves attention, passionately plays to the point of frustration, and concentrates so very hard all day long. Her energy level far surpasses […]
I had the honor of taking these photos of my brother and soon-to-be new sister-in-law just days after they got engaged. My thoughts as I edited them drifted from how very lucky I’ve been in the sister-in-law lottery (praise God! for real!), to how I adore the beautiful combination of goofy delight and serious respect […]
