Jace {Cake Smash}

This little guy had a lot of fun munching on his cake.  He wasn't too sure about it at first, but once he realized it was a tasty treat, he had a blast.

Jace {One Year Old}

It was so much fun having Jace in the studio for his one year portraits!  I photographed his parents' wedding a few years ago and was thrilled when they contacted me to capture portraits of their adorable little guy.

Jace {Sneak Peek}

A peek at my recent session with this handsome little guy!  Check back soon for more from Jace's session.

Skylar {Cake Smash!}

To celebrate a baby's first birthday, often parents will schedule a cake smash session.  While it is a very messy session, it is so fun to see them smashing and playing with their birthday cake. 

Skylar {One Year Old}

Skylar came into the studio this past weekend to celebrate her first birthday with a portrait session and cake smash session.  It took her a little while to warm up to getting her portrait taken, but once she did we got some great shots of this lovely little lady. 

Kaelyn {One Year Old}

 Hard to believe this little peanut is one already!  It seems like only a short time ago she was sweetly smiling in her sleep during her newborn session.  It is crazy how time flies!

Kaelyn {Nine Months Old}

 Talk about a little cutie pie!  In November, sweet little Kaelyn once again lit up my studio with her adorable smile.  It's hard to believe this little peanut is nine months old already.  Seems like just a few weeks ago I was capturing her newborn portraits. 

Kaelyn {Three Months Old}

It is hard to believe this little peanut is three months old already.  Seriously, time flies!  I was so excited to have her back in front of my camera.  I have to say, she is the most smiley three month old I think I've ever seen.  Look at this sweet girl's gorgeous smile!  She made my job so easy with her happy face.  Honestly, my heart melts a bit each time I look at her  portraits.  Adorable!

Wyatt {One Year Old}

 One evening last week, I met up with Wyatt and his parents at Wellman's North Park.  Wyatt is so adorable and it was a lot of fun capturing his portraits.  I was so happy that he was in a good mood during golden hour, the hour before sunset, because the evening light was simply beautiful.

Maryann, Lilly, Sebastian, & Sterling {Cousins}

Check out this adorable quartet!  I've had the pleasure of photographing Maryann and Lilly since they were babies, and I was excited to have them back in the studio along with their handsome twin cousins, Sebastian and Sterling.  Such a gorgeous group of kiddos!

Blair & Marin {Spring Session}

Our Spring Mini-Sessions once again brought the super adorable duo that is Blair and Marin in front of my camera.  I first met these two sweet little girls during our Autumn Mini-Sessions last year.  My how they have grown since then!  Once again they were such a pleasure to work with.  They were so full of smiles!

Truman {Newborn}

Introducing the adorable Truman!  This sweet little guy came into the studio when he was only ten days old.  He was an absolutely adorable little subject.  He slept through his whole session like a champ.  The wonderful thing of getting newborn portraits done within the first ten days, is during this time baby is generally still very sleepy.  Newborns have a hard time focusing their eyes and are far too young to smile.  Newborn portraits focus on them being so tiny and sleepy, showing off their tiny fingers and toes, and precious little cheeks.

Jayden {One Year Old}

Recently, Little Miss Jayden came into the studio for her birthday session.  So adorable!  She was such a busy and curious little one, fascinated by our cat, Rose, who likes to supervise sessions.  She had fun with the red box in our studio, using it as a drum for a while and spending some time hanging out in it.  It was a lot of fun working with this little cutie.  Happy birthday, Jayden!

Gloria {Cake Smash}

 It's hard to believe that the teeny, tiny little newborn I photographed what seems like such a short time ago is one.  How time flies!  In December, Gloria came in for her cake smash session to celebrate her first birthday.  Cake smash sessions are such a fun way commemorate a first birthday.   Gloria was not super interested in smashing her cake, but she did enjoy munching on it.  She even offered to share, so cute! 

Alexis {Newborn}

Recently, Julie and Brian were in the studio for their maternity session.  I always tell mommies-to-be to be sure to schedule your maternity portraits when you are around 37 weeks, because after that point baby may decide to make their debut at any time.  We were very fortunate to have scheduled Julie's session when we did.  Just a few days later, Alexis decided it was time to make her grand entrance. 

Allie {One Year Old}

A few weeks ago, little Miss Allie once again graced my studio with her adorable-ness.  I last photographed her when she was just a tiny peanut.  Now she's up and moving.  My how she's grown!  I love her big blue eyes and her big smile.  She did such a great job getting her photos taken, quite a little model!  I look forward to the next time she's in the studio, seeing how much she has grown again.

Garrett {9 Months Old}

This past October, Garrett came back into the studio for his nine month session.  Along with him, he brought his big brother, Tanner.  Garrett was a super cutie and he and his big brother rocked some Hawkeye gear during the studio portion of his session.

Ava {One Year Old}

About a year ago, I had this little peanut in the studio for her newborn session.  My how she has grown and changed!  Still rocking those gorgeous blue eyes and adorable as ever, but this time I really got to see her fun personality.

Sophie {One Year Old}

Sweet little Sophie graced my studio this June for her first birthday portrait session. She was an absolute doll. I loved working with her. She was definitely a mover though and didn't stay still for very long. Still, I think we ended up with some adorable images!

Greyden {Newborn}

In May, this sweet little guy and his big brother were in my studio. I love newborn sessions. I don't think there is anything on this earth sweeter than a teeny tiny little newborn. They are truly amazing beings. Greyden wasn't your typical sleepy newborn, in fact he was quite alert through the session. I love the photos of him in the cocoon and with his big teddy bear.
