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! 

Merry Christmas!

I hope you have all been enjoying this fun Christmas season! I love, love, love this time of year :) Here are some fun photos of little Reed (9 months old now!), perfect photos for this time of year...

Merry Christmas!

Scout 9 months

I have to admit, when I took photos for Leslie back in January I couldn't help but think how beautiful their place would be in the fall. This was a session I was definitely looking forward to! It was beautiful with all of the fallen leaves. It's so neat to see how much Scout has grown each time I see her. She is 9 months old now...

We had to work hard for these smiles :) Scout knew what we wanted and she made us work for it!

And of course, here is Scout when she was a newborn, 3 month old and 6 month old... can't wait for 1 year photos!

Brandon, Kim and Gavin

Going on year 4 taking photos of this awesome family. I really look forward to this each fall! Meet Kim, Brandon and Gavin. Kim is a fabulous photographer, be sure to check out her site. She has done so many amazing sessions this year :) Also be sure to check out some of the past sessions I had with these guys... SO fun! 

I am really excited about all the fun expressions Gavin gave me. This is such a fun age, gotta love photographing toddlers...

Tickling this little guy sure got us some cute smiles :)

Absolute favorite right here...

Ok... three more favorites as well...

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!
