Remember the adoption homecoming shoot I did recently? Well, I met up with the new family over the weekend to capture their first family photoshoot. It was so fun! I love being a part of these memories…

Okay, so it’s a big sneak peek. I just couldn’t help it. There were so many fun moments captured that I had a hard time not sharing them. Thank you S family for giving me this opportunity to help you have some beautiful portraits of when your baby boy came into your family. I’ll be in touch soon when the proofs are ready!

It’s amazing how much babies change in just 3 months! The last time we saw Miss C, she was just a brand new baby girl… Now, she’s approaching 3 months old and so alert! She’s quite the sweet, petite and pretty little girl.

Okay, first off, I have to say that baby piggies are just the cutest thing. Don’t you think?

There’s that pretty girl!

Love the eye contact…

Cute little smile!

She’s recently discovered her hands.


Love her little face… “Hmmm, what’s this?”

Yay! A big smile for mommy!


We also grabbed some family stuff, but I’m going to save those for the Christmas card… It’s too close to then to share them! So you’ll just have to wait… Maybe after the holidays I’ll share some of the cards I’ve done this year. They’re all so great!

Saturday I slipped in a quick session with my wonderful C family… Last year’s holiday session was with Mr. B just a bump in mommy’s belly and this year, he’s almost 11 months old! His first Christmas! Which is bitter sweet because he’s almost one and that means the end of his baby plan soon… I can never believe that an entire year has passed when the baby plan is coming to an end! Okay, enough of that! On to the holiday session…

Miss H!


Mr. B!



Wait! Those cookies are for Santa…

YUM!

Well, that’s all folks… We’re saving the even better stuff for the Christmas cards!

No, seriously… All done!

Thank you C family! I always enjoy coming to see you guys… I’ll let you know as soon as I have your gallery ready for you. Lots of good stuff, but I didn’t want to spoil your card!

I met Mr. B a little over a year ago for his newborn session. I was so excited when momma contacted me for a one year session. Cannot believe that it’s already been a year! It was so neat to see how much he’s changed.

Mr. B was an active little guy, but gosh, he’s been walking since he was 10 months old. He’s had lots of practice! We opted for a short outdoor session and then the rest back at the house, which included a cake smash!

Love his little walk! He was walking everywhere.



Check out those lashes!








Oh and I can’t leave without passing the ‘Most Enthusiastic Dad’ award to Mr. B’s dad. I didn’t actually see what he was doing, but it sure sounded like he was being quite the silly daddy. Oh, the things we’ll do for our kids to get them to smile!

I haven’t seen Mr. D since he was 3 months old, so it was exciting to go visit him and see how much he’s grown up the past 6 months. He’s almost 9 months old! He was just Mr. Smiley (despite a couple boo-boos!).

Well, my brother’s family! Saturday morning I met up with my brother and his family to do some pics for them. Mr. B has been on the blog several times, so I’m sure you might recognize him. He has a special request this time… That his cousins (my kids) could be there! So we made this a family event. LOL!

Had fun family! The kids did too…

Yesterday I met a little guy that was a tad bit shy. He was actually getting over an ear infection and had fallen asleep on his way to the shoot. It took a little warming up, but he gave us some smiles. He really loved it when his daddy would throw leaves at him. Such a boy thing!

Thank you T family! I hope the little guy continues to get better and isn’t feeling yucky anymore. I enjoyed meeting you all!

The N Family! Seriously… This family gets the award for the most photogenic family. Their boys are amazingly cooperative and so sweet to each other and everyone around them. I’m sure they can be boys, like all boys can, but I was quite impressed with them. They were especially sweet at baby sister’s newborn session a few months back, but they were just as sweet at this session.

The N Family!




Love this one!



Boys exploring…



Best.brothers.ever!

Precious baby girl… Cannot wait until her next session!

Thank you N family… What a pleasant session!

And his family (and sorry family if I’ve misspelled his name)! I should’ve asked when we were together. Mr. B is 2 years old and is actually a rescue dog. It’s so sad what he went through as a young guy, but after seeing this family, it goes to show you that happy endings do happen. He is happy, healthy and completely adored by his family.






Thank you N family! I enjoyed meeting you and love Mr. Beckett! He is such a great little guy. I hope one day to have a family member like him!

This session was almost deemed a rain-out TWICE… But, when we heard about the possible 2nd rain-out, we got smart and rescheduled before the rain came. Luckily it worked out for everyone’s schedule and we made it happen.

Meet the C family… They have 2 girls and a boy like us, except their children happen to be about a year younger than all of mine.












Thank you C family… Even if the forecast is wrong and it doesn’t rain tomorrow–I’m glad we reschedule because the weather was perfect! It was a beautiful session.
