Back in July,  I returned from our family vacation to 6 newborn sessions in 8 days.  Now all of those newborns are ready for their mid year sessions.  It is so fun to see how each has changed and grown.  Smiles, chubby bellies, drool, and a tiny peek at a developing personality  all make me smile and love my job.

This week I get to catch up with 3 little kiddos!  Sweet bright eyed Callie is one of them.

Today I spent the morning with Callie and her mom.   It is always nice to spend time with her family!  They were one of the first to trust me when I first ventured outside of

my family and friends to take photos.  One of the best parts of my job is meeting families who become friends!

This smiling girl is one of the first I photographed when I first started my photography business. Now her baby sister is growing quickly and smiling for the camera. One of the best parts of my job is watching families grow.

You are so beautiful, to me
You are so beautiful, to me
Can’t you see, you’re everything I hoped for
Everything that I need
You are so beautiful, to me

I spent the evening at the park with my son’s teacher and her beautiful family. I usually take pictures of newborns and little ones toddling around. It was a fun change of pace to photograph school aged kiddos. There were lots of stories to listen to about trains and boats, a few jokes shared, and even some posing for the camera.

One year old does so big with big smiles

 

I spent Saturday morning with Henry and his parents at a park near their home.  He shared his favorite talent of doing “so big” many times.  You may recognize Henry from my website.  He is the adorable little newborn inside the bucket on my splash page….and now he’s 1!

newborn-outside-in-green-hat-and-wrapOn the night you were born,
The moon smiled with such wonder
That the stars peeked in to see you
And the night wind whispered,
“Life will never be the same.”
Because there had never been anyone like you… ever in the world.

Not once had there been such eyes,
Such a nose,
Such silly, wiggly, wonderful toes.

For never before in story or rhyme
(not even once upon a time)
Has the world ever known a you, my friend,
And it never will, not ever again.

It has been a busy summer of newborns. Taking photos of all of these loved babies is a wonderful way to spend a summer!

Thank you all for sharing your new ones with me in their first days of life!

wide eyed newborn in purple wrapI had the joy of meeting 9 day old Callie this morning.  I have enjoyed photographing her family since my first days as a photographer and was happily surprised when I received the e-mail about a new addition to the family a few months ago.  It was great to see everyone again today, I look forward to watching Callie and her big brother and sister grow this year!

This morning I had the joy of photographing 11 day old twin boys.   I can only dream of all the fun this family of 3 boys will have growing up together! Brian and Michelle, thank you for sharing your beautiful family with me.

Child looking out the windows at the guthrie theater enjoying his reflection

I spent a morning with Jason and his family at the Guthrie Theater a few weeks ago.  I love the rich colors, reflections, and cityscape backgrounds the Guthrie has to offer.   This was my 3rd session with Jason.   It’s been so fun watching him grow and getting to know his family better!   Take a peek at his 1 year and 9 month sessions!

a variety of pictures from jacobs 6 month photo shootI just finished Jacob’s storyboard and realized I hadn’t posted here about his session!  I first met Jacob at the end of last August and  now at 7 months, he is crawling, trying to stand, and showing off his adorable smile! What a cutie!
