Willa

I don't normally post the names of the children I photograph. However I can't help but tell you that this little girl's name is Willa. I think it is such a neat name. A beautiful name for a beautiful baby. She slept so peacefully.




I had to get a shot of this perfect head.


This is a first-time mommy. She is so good at it already.







An awake newborn who isn't crying! Mom and dad won the baby lottery with this one! :)


Santa must think they've been really good this year!


She cleans up pretty nicely too!

lucky eight

This family of 8 gave me a workout! Here are a few of my favorites.

Blowing me kisses...what a lucky girl I am!


Daddy and his son; they don't look alike do they? :)


Snack break!

diva

This little girl's mommy was starting to get worried that little miss L wasn't cooperating for me. But I knew we were capturing the real her and the spirit of a nearly 2 year old. I can't wait to show her the rest.



Her daddy is a firefighter, so I loved that she was playing with firetrucks...


The cold weather kept us inside for most of it, but we did go out for a short while.


Lose the hat!


My personal favorite...

let's hear it for the boys...

I mentioned when I shot the girls in this family that I'd be shooting the boys soon too (and the whole family). With coats standing by, we got about a half hour of shots in before we wimped out and went back in to get warm by the fire!









And a few from a maternity session...this momma-to-be has the tiniest tummy I've ever seen on a 36 week pregnant woman. I don't know if we could've fit many more hands on here.

session two

I'm overly excited about this session, so I'm posting lots of pics. You may recognize this little one from a few months ago. Our time together this go-around was much shorter, but we had twice as much fun and got a LOT of great pictures. She's just a doll. And she has been carrying this pumpkin around since she got it, so of course it was welcome in our pictures. I'm drooling over these colors--what a perfect perfect fall day!

The First...

...session from my weekend. I really try hard to do just one session each weekend; with two little ones at home (one of which I wish I would've enrolled in preschool this year!), it can get too hectic if I do much more than that. But with fall being crazy and lots of people wanting pictures of this beautiful season, I've double booked some of my weekends. Here is the first from this weekend. We had such a beautiful day for it, and this family traveled 2.5 hours for the occasion. I am getting ready to send them the entire gallery, but are my favorites. Hopefully they'll find it was worth the trip!
