Welcoming Aubriella!

Shortly after finding out I was pregnant, Amber contacted me to let me know that she was, too! It has been so fun talking about toddler life, about finally having girls after boys + all the fun photo ideas we will have for her beautiful Aubriella!  Amber has an appreciation for photography + because of that we were able to tell Aubriella’s story before she was even here! From her birth announcement to bump + now to this absolutely gorgeous baby girl. Aubriella is sweet + docile - a little different from her active big brother!  Aubriella’s big brother isn’t a fan of our photo sessions but you wouldn’t even know, would you?!  We let him do everything in his own time + without even asking he gave us a few split seconds of lovin’ on his sis. I know for certain these two will be best friends. Enjoy this sweet girl’s gallery!

Aubriella was born beautifully special! To learn more about what makes her special (+ for such fun stuff to do for/with your kiddos!!) check out her mama's blog here: http://adventuresofasher.weebly.com/home/introducing-aubriella-lynn

Alex + Aimee - Maternity

Happy parents make happy children. I wish I would have known that little tidbit when I became a mother six years ago. To work with Alex + Aimee, I know I don’t need to give them that advice before their little girl arrives. They ooze cute, sunshiney happiness + were too much fun at their session.  Aimee’s laugh + Alex’s jokes had me rolling the whole time. Aimee is also a florist + made the most gorgeous flower crown + had the amazing idea of floating rose petals down the creek.  LOVE LOVE LOVED this session! Can’t wait to meet baby Bender soon!

Shane + Amanda - Maternity

Springtime is officially here + my soul adores it! If I was to capture the Springtime glow with anyone, I’m glad it was with this growing family! Amanda did an amazing job planning out her maternity session for baby boy Jaxson (LOVE the spelling!). From the outfits to the props to the location - she did it ALL. It was a little chilly but we had the most beautiful sunlight. I can’t help but think is the most beautiful family in the world! I’ve been taking McKenna’s (big sister-to-be!) pictures at Mini sessions for a few years now + she is SUCH doll. Then to meet her parents, now I totally get where those gorgeous genes come from. Amanda is a pregnancy goddess! I was so excited to work on these that I spent hours editing their 168+ image gallery yesterday and just couldn’t stop.  I hope you all love this session as much as I do.  What a way to kick off the busy season!  Enjoy some favs!

 

Alexander - Newborn + Maternity

Holy moly, I’m blogging!

This blog post has a little bit of everything amazing. Alexander is the sweetest of the sweet. The hardest part of my job is being able to play with beautiful babies like him - and then having to give him back! He had the best time posing with his mom + dad (although he was a little confused what all the kisses were about!), with his stuffed lamb that made an appearance in his maternity session + in some fun animal gear! Easter is Alexander’s mommy’s fav holiday + rumor has it she was a little teary-eyed while he was sporting his adorable bunny ears ;) And of course, he had to be a deer to put a smile on his hunter dad’s face.

I’m also finally blogging Adrean + Rachel’s maternity session which is a favorite of mine! We had such glowy light, some belly laughs + obviously the cutest parents-to-be.  I loveeee when parents buy packages so I can keep seeing them while their little one grows!  

Enjoy some favorites of these sessions!

Adalynn - Maternity + Newborn

It’s been awhile since I blogged a newborn session but sweet baby Adalynn is too special not to share.  I have been photographing the Deimler Family for several years now and I was so thrilled when they found out they were finally having their baby girl! Baby A is her mama’s twin + already has daddy (+ big brothers) wrapped around her finger. I can’t wait to watch her grow.

Enjoy some favorites from the Deimler Family’s beautiful maternity session at Longwood Gardens + newborn session!

Asher - Newborn

I had JUST shot Adam + Amber’s maternity session a week before when Asher made an early arrival. So early that I never got to blog their maternity session (which was one of my all time favs so obviously I needed to post some today).  Now Asher is here and he has got to be the most handsome guy I’ve ever met. He’s nice and tall with the cutest little hair curl in the front! He slept and smiled through his whole session so he’s pretty much model material in my book.  Enjoy some of my favorites of his session and alsoooo some favorites from Adam + Amber’s maternity session!

Finallyyy posting some of their beautiful nautical themed maternity session!

Kate + Kevin - Maternity

I HAD to do a blog post for Kate and Kevin because their session was Heaven for me. I got to photograph with some of my favorite things: horses, water + a fun couple!  I was even gifted a bottle of wine at the end of our session that Kevin made himself (Side note: if any other customers would like to do this, I wouldn’t be mad ;) ) I had the pleasure of photographing the Osbornes’ beautiful wedding last year and now I am able to do the same for their next walk of life: becoming parents! All I’ve got to say is if Addilyn is anything like mom and dad, she is going to be one gorgeous, big hearted little lady!  I’m waiting patiently to meet her!  Enjoy some favorites xoxox

The Bilous Family

These are my kind of people. These three (and a half) are so dang sweet and caring with each other that it doesn't take much to create a perfect session like this. And if that's not enough to impress you, they also came equipped with super hero gear! At the end of our session it began to rain so what did we do? We hopped in the creek and got the most gorgeous Mama/daughter portraits. I think the world of this family and can't wait to meet the new little miss soon!

Danny & Kara - Expecting!

Danny & Kara are such a great time! Their little beauty is in for a fun and exciting life with these two.  I just loved snapping shots of Kara laughing -- what a beautiful smile this mama has! This was sadly one of the first sessions when I realized summer was coming to an end and the sun was setting much sooner :( The up side to this is we got some pretty sunset light. Can we also talk about how we got a swan sweetly floating in the background of some of these pictures?!  It was the perfect setting for pictures of the perfect little girl that is on her way.  I cannot wait to meet baby girl Wentz -- after talking to her parents I have so, so many ideas for this "autumn" baby!  Enjoy some favorites of mine.
