Little Louden

Remember this sweet baby boy??

Well, sweet baby Louden has grown quite a bit since I last photographed him and he will be celebrating his first birthday next month. It's hard to believe that's even possible!  I met Nora, Matt, and little Louden one afternoon a few weeks ago and I couldn't wait to start snapping away. Louden has the whitest hair, bluest eyes, and the best little personality. He was so curious, playful, silly, and serious at times which made for so many fun expressions!  I loved watching these parents with him and seeing all the sweet, little inside things they do to get him going. Nora and Matt....here's just a few before the holiday weekend and I can't wait for you to see them all.

lots of love

I always look forward to seeing the Taylor family and after having my daughter in July, I wasn't quite sure if I would make this session or not.  But after missing Cameron's 6 month milestone, there was no way I was going to miss his 9 month....and it just so happens to be one of my favorite ages to photograph!  Collin is getting ready to turn 3 and is definitely all boy.  He is constantly on the go and ready to play at any moment.  Cameron is the happiest little boy that just smiles the biggest smiles at the drop of a hat.  Seeing the two of them together was priceless.  Collin is at the age where when he gives hugs they sort of turn into love tackles, and Cameron didn't mind one bit.  It is so obvious how much he loves his big brother by the way he just looks at him.  There is also no doubt the love that these parents have for their boys.  They made noises, jumped up and down, acted silly, ran races, played peek-a-boo through the 'window', gave family hugs, and kisses.  Anything you can imagine to keep these boys happy and having fun, they did.  It was so sweet to see.  Russell and Ashley, I just love, love, love your images.  They are some of the most playful, love-filled family images ever!  I can't wait for you to see them all.   







 



 

 

 





 

birthday boys!

 I've been photographing the Pond family since 2010 when Daniel celebrated his first birthday.  Well, Daniel just turned four and is now a big brother to Nicholas who just turned one himself.  With both of these sweet boys having just celebrated a birthday, it was the perfect time to get together to capture some images.  The fall color was in full force and it was so beautiful outside.  I couldn't wait to get started.  Nicholas isn't quite walking yet, but he sure was on the move crawling.  He loved playing with the leaves and still has the cutest gummy grin.  When I first started taking Daniel's picture, he seemed a bit apprehensive.  He looked at me and said, 'You aren't really going to give us shots, are you?'  It was so, so funny!  Mom and Dad had obviously mentioned me getting some shots of them and it didn't quite translate.  I was so happy to relieve any worries he had and just try to have some fun instead.  Brooks and David, thank you so much for trusting me to capture your family's memories.  Enjoy your sneak peek!
