...and baby makes 3! {Kelly & Pablo}

Awww...these two are just so precious! Kelly and Pablo are some dear friends of mine who live in Spain, and they're expecting their 1st baby in November. I was so honored and excited to be able to take some maternity shots of Kelly while they were here visiting!

I can't wait to meet  your sweet little daughter! She is already so loved. Thanks for letting me capture this special moment in your lives. Safe travels, and we'll see you guys soon! xoxo

Sweet Rosemary {One Year Old}

What a gorgeous photo shoot with a gorgeous family! We had our session in the evening, and the warm sunlight was just wonderful and inspiring. I had taken little Rosemary's photos when she was 8 months old, so it was very fun to see how she has grown! She is just on the verge of walking, and it was so adorable to watch her stand there so proud of herself. What a doll...

Thanks you guys! It was a pleasure as usual! xoxo

Crabby Baby Shower

This weekend I got to shoot my first baby shower, and I'm hooked! To make it even sweeter, it was for a dear friend of mine that I've had since middle school and has since moved to Spain. She and her hubby are expecting their first baby this fall and are visiting for a few weeks before their sweet daughter arrives. The shower was on an island here in the gorgeous Pacific NW at her family's beach cabin, so the "crabby"/nautical theme was so perfect and adorable! Stay tuned for super sweet maternity pics to come!

If you'd like me to document all the sweetness of YOUR baby shower, please let me know! I'd love to help out!!  



Vincent is ONE!

This photo session was so energetic and fun! Vince is just such a handsome little guy, and better yet, he LOVED my camera! He is on the verge of walking, and the look on his face was unforgettable when he decided to show off a little for mommy and stand all by himself for quite a long time. Vince's sweet, adorable cousins Addy and Kenzie joined the fun as well, and the three of them together were so entertaining! You can just feel the love pouring from these three precious kiddos...

Thanks for the opportunity you guys, it was great fun!

Lisa & Eric {Sweetheart Session}

This sweet couple is so full of life, and we had such a fun time taking their photos! And I especially love them because Lisa is my cousin who I grew up with and I have such great memories of our childhood together! Eric & Lisa had the awesome idea of bringing along their dirt bikes since they're such a large part of their lives, and I love that we were able to include something so important to them. This was supposed to be a mini session (20 minutes long), but I just couldn't stop taking photos since they were so cute together. :)

Thanks you guys! It was so much fun! 

Eric's daughter and her friend popped in for a few fun pics :) They were awfully cute as well!

Madeline, Alan, and Baby Jack

I had the great honor of photographing this adorable couple on the verge of welcoming their 1st child into the world. They were the cutest pair of lovebirds, and mama-to-be Madeline was just so gorgeous! I love shooting maternity photos as it is, but this time I had this dreamy idea of a romantic field, the sun setting behind them, & an old rocking chair thrown in the mix. Madeline was all for it and I think she was more excited to try it than I was, which got me even MORE pumped up! I knew of the perfect spot, and they were both such troopers following me out into the middle of nowhere and braving the itchy grass in the name of capturing some amazing moments. Their love is so evident in these photos...Baby Jack is one blessed little guy already!  

I can't wait to meet your new bundle of joy and am so excited for you guys! Thank you for the opportunity! It was truly a great experience.

I Heart Faces Photo Challenge {Enjoying Life}

This month's photo challenge over at I Heart Faces is called, "Enjoying Life". I love it! This concept is what I hope to capture every single day with my camera, and what's better than a pig pile on mommy with giggles and hugs? You can just FEEL the joy pouring from this image...it warms my heart.
