Scout is One!

 I am a mom of three kids, I have watched them all grow up so quickly.  But I am still so amazed that this tiny little baby...

can grow into such a beautiful big girl in just one year!

Scout is the first little one that I photographed for a whole year through. We had many fun photo sessions since she's been born (and even a maternity session before she was born :)). Here are all of her photos... Maternity, Newborn, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and today I am posting her one year photos :) Leslie and Kyle did an awesome job with the props and cake, everything turned out great!

And some tears...

We had planned these fun photos inside and they turned out great... but we were also excited that it was a *warm* January day (in the 50's!) so we headed outside to snap these photos with mom and dad. I am so glad it was a nice day!! (And Scout wasn't afraid to give me some adorable smiles...)

Leslie and Kyle, thank you!! This has been a fun year watching Scout grow! 

Ricky, Melissa, Dylan, Lauren and Ethan

This was such a beautiful day! The last warm day that we had this fall... I am so glad we took advantage of it and got out there and did this shoot. Such perfect timing! These cute kiddos were rock stars and they loved being in front of the camera. This made my job sooo easy and fun! I had a great time and really enjoyed editing these photos. 

I've known this family for four years now and they are good friends of my family. It's been two years since I've done their photos... and the kids have sure grown up since then! 

Melissa and Ricky both went to Purdue so we decided they needed some photos on campus. This is a favorite location of mine. This time we found some new spots for pictures and I loved how they turned out...

Dylan's smile... love it :)

This is a new favorite spot of mine. And these boys... love the photos we got of them together!

Jason, Carrie, Maxon, Evelyn and Jude

I have had some FUN fall sessions this past month! Such wonderful families. Carrie, Jason and their kiddos were on the blog last year as well. As always, it's so great to see how the kids grow and change. Jude has changed the most since then... he was just a little baby! These cute kids were so fun and they gave me some great smiles. Love it. I also adore the colors Carrie picked out for this session. So bright and colorful...

Oh this photo is a favorite! Just look at Jude... So. Sweet. I love how Jason is looking at Carrie :) I love the silly faces that Maxon and Evelyn are pulling... this is my idea of a perfect family photo.

Alex, Heidi, Charlotte and Olivia

Heidi and her sweet family are back on the blog this year. Last year Charlotte was a little baby and this year she is the big sister :) These girls are 18 months apart, just like my oldest two children. I loved, loved, loved watching them together. It reminded me of my kids when they were both so little.

It was a windy and cold September day... these guys were troopers out in the cold! We had a good time...
