Brian at 3 months

Look at this little sweetheart! He spent a little time in the NICU after he was born and is just getting around to his “newborn” photoshoot. A little miracle baby. I am so blessed to have such great families to work with. It is truly an honor to spend time getting to know them. As promised, a preview for this family.

 

Will 1st year

I cannot believe this sweet baby boy already celebrated his first birthday! He was in the best of moods and surprisingly cooperative with all of our ideas for pictures. Yay!

Everett – 11 days old

I’ve been awaiting the arrival of this little guy for some time.  Meet Everett…just 11 days old yesterday for his first CopyKat Photoshoot. Such a sweet and cooperative baby!

The Block Family in 2012

What a fun family of all girls! The Block Family is celebrating the arrival of 2-week-old Madelyn and asked me to take some updated family photographs for them. Here’s a little preview of their session from yesterday. Welcome to the world, sweet baby!

What to Wear

Many clients ask the question, “What should we wear?” Here’s a little wardrobe inspiration for you!

Simple clothing that coordinates well without being too matchy-matchy is your best bet! Texture, layers and colors that compliment each other creates the visual interest we’re looking for in a great family portrait.

The Spielman Family

A preview for the Spielman Family who came and braved the crazy February weather yesterday for an outdoor family photoshoot. The temperature wasn’t bad but the wind nearly blew us away. So happy to see this family again and look forward to more pictures with the upcoming birth of their newest baby boy.

Newborn Opal

First session of 2012….meet Opal! Just a fresh 2 weeks old and precious as she could be. She is welcomed by her big sister, Olive. I photographed Olive when she was a newborn 18 months ago. Sweet little sisters I hope to see again in the future. Thanks Ryan family, for having me back to photograph your family <3 Here’s a preview of the images we got yesterday.

 

 

 

The Niemann Family

Met up with the Niemann Family yesterday for the final fall family session I have scheduled this year. It was an unheard of 62 degrees outside. We got lucky with the weather! This is a family of all boys. Rowdy and rambunctious and right up my alley.  How fun it must be to grow up with all these brothers to play with! I enjoyed spending a bit of time getting to know them! Thanks Niemann Family!

 

Brynn & Grant

Another one of my favorite families here! There’s always a special fondness I have for my regular clients who’ve been with me since the start of their family. I love seeing them grow and change from photoshoot to photoshoot. It’s a neat feeling to be a part of their lives through photography. I also enjoy meeting their extended family on occasion and getting to know them too

Six months ago, the Hornbuckles welcomed baby Grant into their family. I was invited to photograph him again to mark this milestone of 6 months! Look at him sitting now! And he is such a happy and smiley guy! This was the age I first met his sister who is now a beautiful 3-yr-old preschooler!

The Tolley Family 2011

Love, Love, Love the Tolleys!

They came for this year’s family pictures last evening & brought the dog. Jos just turned 1 year! She is seriously the sweetest and best baby ever born. Goes without saying how cute she is but her temperament is so good-natured and easy-going. Sorta like her Ma
