Coming out from behind the lens

When you're the photographer, it's hard sometimes to actually BE in photos. Like, ever. I have an obsession with warm evening "golden hour" sunlight, so I brought my amazing hubby to one of my favorite locations about 30 minutes before sunset, set up the tripod and self-timer, and got to capture some beautiful memories of just the two of us as we approach our 5 year anniversary. He was such a good sport, and we actually had a really fun time experimenting together...and some of my all-time favorite photos of the two of us were born.

Miles {One Year Old}

Say hello to Miles! Check out what this sweet little guy loves about life -

Miles loves to dance, climb, and eat. If there is music of any sort he stops in his tracks, throws his arms in the air, & starts to wiggle around! His most used work is "eat" - he will open cupboards and yell, "EAT NOW!" Often he can be found sitting at the table eating his brother's food if he hasn't been quick enough! If there is anything he can climb up on, he will do it and be yelling, "THIS! THIS!" the whole time. He likes to ride his trike and loves to sit with his sister Caroline (or KA as he calls her) and read books. He doesn't like to sleep alone or take baths...unless they are in the kitchen sink!

You have such a beautiful family! Thank you for a great session, it was so much fun! I can't wait to see your little guy grow! xoxo, Julie

Welcome Lauren Louise to the world!

Jer 29:11 - "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

 

Lauren's entrance to the world was one of great joy and anticipation as her parents didn't find out beforehand that they were going to have a little girl, and they are so excited to welcome their third daughter to the family! This family is so full of love, and the addition of baby Lauren is such a blessing. Her mommy and daddy's hopes for Lauren are that she values her family morals, and grows up to be a respectful young lady who is full of love, happiness, & good health.

 

Thank you so much for allowing me into your home to capture this amazing time in your family's life! You guys were so great to work with, and I appreciate the opportunity! xoxo, Julie
