Little Man

My youngest baby, my littlest boy. I took Keegan’s newborn photos a while back and they have been sitting waiting to get edited. It has been so hard to figure out which ones to edit as they are all so meaningful and special to me. I completely feel like it is harder to edit your own family's photos because well you want to edit every single photo, even the silly, goofy, and terrible ones - and then of course show them to everyone. But here they finally are I was able to get one of my best friends to come in to the studio so I could be in some of my family photos, which is even more meaningful in so many ways. Since COVID there were a bunch of things we missed out on during this pregnancy and birth, so being able to be in my family photos in a completely safe environment is beyond important and amazing, With this post being sent out I am also officially starting to slowly take clients into my private studio and slowly come off maternity leave. Expect to see lots of this little dude's photos on here, haha..

‘‘Donut Grow Up”

Mr. Lucas rocked his first birthday donut session!! I cannot believe this little guy turns one, TODAY! This chunky dude has a special place in my heart and he made 2020 not suck so bad. But gosh I wish he grew up a little slower. Thanks Lucas for being you, you made the session super easy and it was great capturing your spunk in your photos! Until next time <3

Williams Maternity

Getting in a few end of season beach sessions put a real smile in my heart. But capturing this awesome couple before they are to welcome their first child into the world was even better. Brittney is one beautiful mama and made this session so easy. Thank you for allowing me to capture this moment for you guys!

Dimmick Family Beach Session

What better way to jump back into sessions after having my own little one then to come back with this cutie. I can't believe it has been a whole year since the last time I saw this awesome family. The weather was great, the family was great and their photos were even better! Can't wait to see you guys next year!!

Keegan Ryan

Phew its been a crazy couple of months, with Covid and being pregnant things were very uncertain. But on August 13th 2020 the littlest love of my life was born. The hospital stay was not the same as my other two children. No visitors were allowed in so that meant I had to take my own hospital pictures. That’s right just hours after my caesarian section I was climbing on chairs and bending down to try and get some good shots of my little love. It was a bummer since I wasn’t able to be in the photos with my husband and baby, nor have my older kids come in to take photos of them with Keegan for the first time in the hospital, but I am just glad I was able to get some photos to capture this special moment

‘‘Winter One-derland”

Little Jimmy rocked his cake smash last week! But we wouldn’t have been able to do it with out his big sister Zoey to help! She is the only one that could get him to smile. The bond and love between them was awesome to see while capturing another great milestone for this family. Can’t believe Zoey’s cake smash was so long ago! Thank you Nielsen’s for allowing me to watch your family grow.

Sweet Family

The Sperduto's are such a sweet family. The girls were amazing during the session and were so loving to their baby brother; it melted my heart. Not only could you see the love they had for him, but you could see in his eyes how much he loved his sisters. It was just a wonderful thing to capture. Thank you so much for allowing me to do so!

Oh Mr. Lucas

This little boy has a very special place in my heart. He is the youngest little in our tribe. His Mama worked very hard for him and we prayed right along with her. Now he's here making us all fall in love with him more and more every day. I already think he has changed so much that we need to have another photo session with him - so don’t be surprised if you see his sweet face up on my news feed again soon, haha. :D

Friends Forever

Not so sure who has followed my little and his buddy over the last few years but here it is that time of year again for us to get these two crazy’s (and more as we grow as families) to get their yearly photo together Same spot, same season, same crate (which I am not sure what we will do once they out grow that stinking thing) , and same amazing kiddos plus a few extras. Next year Mr. Lucas will be joining the crazy crew. This year he was a bit to fragile to throw in the mix ha!

For anyone who is new to the story: This is my handsome dude and his best friend, Tyler. Tyler and Emerson are only weeks apart and have been best buds since they were about 6 months old. Tyler’s mom and I casually took their first fall photos together thinking it would be cute, little did we know here we are 4 years later taking them in the same spot. Watching them grow together has been literally my favorite thing in life, we also added on a little minion that likes to copy and follow them, her name is Quinn. She has hopped in a few photos with them as they are now like a pack and I love every single second of their chaos that they cause together. Melissa and I cannot wait until the boys are 21 and sitting in the very same spot (hopefully on the very same box) taking their yearly photos together. Tyler and Emerson, I hope your bond never breaks Love you boys! Here are some photos from this year and photos from the past for years of them.

MacBain - Fall Mini

These kiddos are’t so little anymore. Our fall photos ended with a little more spunk this year (as per kids request :P ) and I don’t think they will be disappointed! Can’t wait to see you make your communion Carter!
