A highlight of each year are the little ones that I am blessed to be able to photograph during the BABE’S FIRST YEAR plan that I have! It’s a joy to watch parents welcome a child to their lives and see them all grow into a beautiful family! This little guy, Lincoln, is very sweet and a gentle little boy who not only is lucky enough to have some incredibly loving parents, but as he was turning one, a new little one was about to join their family! Violet was welcomed into this family shortly after Lincoln turned ONE…so we combined the session for Lincoln’s first birthday with Violet’s newborn photos…and this adorable little girl was just 4 days old…and what a doll! Dad and mom, Phillip and Shawna…are relaxed, loving and incredibly thankful parents..loving their beautiful children more than you can imagine and thankful for their good health!! I’ve said this before, but I love meeting new people, capturing some special photos and memories for them and most of all, making new friends through the process…how lucky am I!! Without further ado…here is Lincoln, Violet and their parents!!























My heart is warmed by seeing this family grow and what a joy to see how sweet and loving Lincoln is with Violet…I am sure they will be wonderful friends and I have no doubt that Violet will hold her own with her big brother as time goes on! I can’t wait to watch them over this next year and see these little ones as they begin to see just how amazing it is to have a sibling…that loves you unconditionally! Phillip and Shawna, you have such beautiful children – they are so lucky to have you two for parents! Thank you for trusting me with capturing such special memories in your lives!!











What a delightful family…and the exciting part is that in July, they will be adding to their family! I’m so excited for them and CAN’T wait to meet the newest family member…I know that Brylee with be a great big sister!!


Have you ever met a family and felt like they were meant to be…that it just seemed like their life was destiny? This past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful baby, Indy (love that name!!) and her parents, Katie and Jason and that is just how I felt about this family! What a treat it was to spend some time with them and to be able to capture some special memories for them! Baby Indy is three months old and it didn’t take very long to become charmed by this cutie and know that I would enjoy my time with her. Along with her parents, she has two “sisters” who are the four-legged kind…and what great dogs they are…both very gentle and calm and so good with Indy…it was fun to watch how they were with her…every once in a while, they would try to steal a kiss, but mostly they were just happy to be close to her! At the end of the session, they both curled up on the (soft and fuzzy) blanket that Indy had been lying on…I don’t blame them…I wouldn’t mind curling up on it myself for a nap…and of course, we couldn’t resist putting Indy back down on it, in the middle of her big sisters…it was so cute!!
I must admit that I had two great assistants this morning…my hubby and my daughter, who works with Katie…and boy, did I enjoy their help…what a treat…I’m wondering what it would take to get both of them for all of my sessions…thank you Rick and Jess!! So here’s a peek at the session on this cold Sunday morning…
Isn’t this a great looking family…and the two dogs, Lily and Roxy, are perfect bookends for this picture…they were so good…to have two dogs and a baby…all looking the same direction…very rare!
