Baby Reid

My friend Holly had her baby! He was 3 weeks old in these photos and now he is almost 1 month old. I was so happy to take his pictures... this little guy is so very cute! His strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes are just adorable. I was so happy when baby Reid's family decided to be in the pictures too...

The light in these pictures was perfect. The picture below with Reid and his dad is my favorite...

The picture below showing all his hair is another favorite... I love that hair (probably because my babies were bald :)

Big sister is so proud of her baby brother... and they look a lot alike too. 

This was such a fun session... thanks Holly! I just love taking photos of newborns.

Elly, Scott, Drew, and Owen

I love it when I get to photograph someone again and again... You may recognize this cute family from when I photographed them here and here. It is especially fun to see how much these two boys have grown! We had a great time wandering Purdue's Campus for this session. Scott is now a  Purdue graduate and they are moving away soon. What a better place for pictures... right?

Owen's blue eyes and smile are just too cute! I could take pictures of him all day...

I was so very happy when we got this series of pictures of the boys! They were so good for me and I just love those smiles...

Thank you Elly and Scott. I will miss having you around and taking your pictures too! Good luck with everything coming up in your lives!

Baby Boy

A good friend of mine had her baby back in March and I have been itching to take his pictures! This little guy is such a wonderful baby! He was so calm and content though our photo session... even when he was awake. It was so fun being able to get some pictures of him awake, he held so still for me and was so happy. He is getting closer to being about 2 months old, so he was very alert. I had a good time! I love being with little babies... ummm, but who doesn't?

I love the different expressions that babies have when they are awake. It was fun getting a variety of pictures.

Then he fell asleep and was absolutely perfect. I love it when I can get a lot of sleeping photos... they are my favorite!

And he slept and slept some more! What a perfect baby :)

Last Week...

...was a whirlwind of photos. I had so much fun doing two baby sessions and one family session. I typically don't do three sessions in a week, but I am so glad that I was able to do all three of these sessions! Here is a preview of the photos that I will be posting later this week...

I am so excited to show you the rest of the photos! It was a very good week.

Kim and Brandon... Maternity

This session was extra fun... not only because I love maternity sessions, but also because I got to hang out with my friends :) This is Kim and her husband Brandon. They are both photographers and awesome at that! I shot with another photographer friend of mine, Kelly Allen... who is amazing! It was so fun to be with them and to do something we all love. Kim and Brandon were awesome and we had a blast!

Quick change in location...

Kim and Brandon were so lucky to have their little guy arrive a few days after this session! I am so very excited for them and I can't wait to meet their baby boy. Congrats!

Updates and a Preview

It has been way to long since I have posted on my blog! I apologize, life gets so crazy busy! I just want to announce that I am booked during May and June, but I am open for two sessions in July. I am not quite sure what is going to happen in August, September, and October of this year.... because I am expecting another little baby on November 4th :) When I decide what I will be doing August-October I will let you all know. If you are wanting to book during those months just let me know and I will talk to you about the possibilities. I will most likely be taking all of October off... which is so very hard for me since fall is a beautiful time for photos. 

With that all said and done.... here is a teaser for my next post. Kim has graced my blog before and her she is again! She is a photographer friend of mine and I was thrilled to take maternity photos for her. She had her baby not too long after this session and is now a mommy! I am so excited for you Kim, Congrats!!

Baby Bump

This is my good friend Holly and her cute family. They are anxious to meet their little baby who should be here very soon. They are still unsure if they are going to be having a little boy or girl, but they are excited to find out! I LOVED this session... we lucked out with one clear day last week. No wind or rain got in our way. We even saw a little sun. I am so glad it's finally time for outdoor photos again! I also loved this location, the tall grass was perfect...

*Favorite*  ... though I have a lot of favorites...
