Coming Soon: Easter Mini Session Sign Ups

I promise, I will start scheduling mini sessions soon! I'm hoping to get some cooperative weather in the next few days so that I can take my sample pics with my boys!

I will send out emails and post to the blog as soon as I open appointments. If you are not on my mailing list and would like to be, please send me an email with your name and subject: mailing list. (If you've ever had a session or are scheduled to have a session, you are automatically on my mailing list.)

Cannon

This little man was so cute and so cold. He loved trains and knocking on doors. If it wasn't for all of the doors we found, I don't think we would have gotten any pictures!

The Still Family: 6 month session

Ok, another boy! I feel like I've been photographing girls a ton lately, and I'm not complaining! But I've definitely gotten my dosage of boys lately. I have been so excited to meet back up with this family. You might remember this little guy from his first session a few months back. We lucked out for their session. After weeks of freezing or snowing weather, we had a fabulous day of warmth and sun!

The Hopping Brothers

I think I have a special connection with this mommy. We have a ton in common. We are/were both teachers, both have 2 boys, both boys are almost the same age, and both "thought" our second one would be a girl. She was so nice to let both, yes both, of my boys tag along for a photo session/playdate. I can't thank her enough! Luckily all of the boys cooperated. Well, for the most part, we had a little bit of a difficult time getting both brothers in a picture together, but I've learned from daily experience that it's very typical!

Harrison: 6 Month Session

I went to high school with Harrison's mommy and daddy. Little did I know that I'd be taking their little one's pictures years down the road! I was really excited to meet this little guy, but little is NOT the word to describe him. It's hard to believe that he's only 6 months old. I had to keep reminding myself that we were doing 6 month pictures, not one year old pictures!

I love this one!

Hannah's Senior Session

I met Hannah and her friends and family downtown for my first senior session. I was so relieved that she brought some friends to cheer her on, because they kept us laughing! Isn't she beautiful?

We got rained out towards the end of the session, so we decided to have a little fun with it.

Spring Sessions

It's hard to believe, but my weekend sessions for February and March are now booked. I still have a few weekday sessions available. If you were wanting a session in March but have not booked one, I will be holding Easter Mini Sessions Friday, March 19 and Saturday, March 20. I am not taking appointments yet, but I will post more details soon. They will be very similar to my Valentine's Day Mini Sessions.

As many of you know, I am a teacher, and I started my photography business while on maternity leave with my little man, Lawson. I've been debating about going back to teaching, but we have made the decision for me to return to work in April. I will be scheduling limited weekend sessions when I return to work for April and May, while I try to balance being a mommy, teacher, and photographer. I only have a few openings left for April. I appreciate your patience and understanding as I make this adjustment.


Can you see why I've had such a hard time wanting to go back to teaching???

Hudson 1 Year Old Session

This little guy is turning 1 and has a birthday party coming up tomorrow. His parents wanted to get some pictures of him along with his cake smashing pictures. Poor Hudson just was not in the mood to have his picture taken. However, from these pictures, I really don't think you can tell. I just love his smash cake, and I think he did too!

Since I couldn't decide on just one birthday cake pic, here's a few...
