Penelope- her big sister is so proud of her-

I absolutely love this family- so close, loving and fun- I think this collage of their family pictures says it all-

and she did just as beautifully on her own as she did with her sister and her parents-

one more with her sister- she’s energetic, lively and full of personality. They are going to have so much fun together!

expectation

This little one has an amazing set of parents waiting, and an amazing place to come home to. There’s lots of rolling property, two dogs, and horses- kid heaven! I had so much fun meeting everyone and photographing this beautiful mama-to-be.

We weren’t sure if he was ready for a photo session at first, but as soon as he got toasty warm and settled in, he was happy, cozy and sleepy, and even slept through a few moves. I couldn’t have asked for a better (or cuter!) little model-

I love the variety you achieve in your newborn sessions. The creativity is amazing! Of course Baby is about the cutest little thing ever too! :)

Love the first image. Love the colors and textures. Such a precious baby.

After two older brothers and two boy cousins, there’s finally a girl to join the bunch- and she delicate and tiny and gorgeous. 

Lucky girl- these two boys are going to take good care of her

Love this one in her Dad’s arms- you can really see how tiny she is

Aaaah! LOVE LOVE LOVE! The sibling shot is incredible!

baby brother on the way

Nolan is a cutie with a capital ‘C’, and it’s easy to see where he got his good looks from! I remember his newborn session vividly, because he gave me such a run for my money. Seeing him now, it’s hard to believe that. He adores his mom, and it was such fun to watch him with her. Can’t wait to meet your new brother, Nolan-
