Baby Mason – he was a surprise newborn – not on my schedule and squeezed in the day after his mommy contacted me (and the day before Thanksgiving!)  I am sooooo glad he ended up my way, though.  Not only is he a bundle of preciousness, but his mom and dad are the absolute sweetest.  It was such a blast spending the afternoon with the family!

Little Mason is the youngest of three boys.  I just love snugly little boys – and sweet baby stretches! )
I thought it was going to rain the entire session (yes – there are ALL done outdoors!) which actually made for perfect weather.  No bright sun meant I could take little man out into the yard for some legit outdoor shots without worrying about him being exposed to too much sun.  I have several shots from this set-up and I absolutely love every single one of them.  (Elf hat courtesy of Kangaroos & Coconuts – love it!)
When little ones are awake and happy, you usually end up with some pretty sweet shots.  The sleeping baby pictures are adorable, but there’s something irresistible about the awake ones too!
I really wish I knew where this hat originally came from.  Mason was the perfect model for it, though.  He looks like such a little man!
Extreme cuteness overload below – consider yourself warned:

Beau and Stacey – thank you so much for inviting me into your home and allowing me to be a part of this sweet moment in your family’s history.  Capturing these images of little Mason for you was so much fun!

It wasn’t too many days before little Rylan’s arrival that we were doing his mommy’s (still un-blogged) maternity session.  And it’s a good thing we did it when we did because he was sure anxious to get out!  He made his surprise appearance on Halloween night and, less than a week later, I got the privilege of cuddling his cuteness under the guise of photography.  Man – what a great job!

Isn’t he absolutely precious?
After the first few pictures, Rylan was ready to eat.  While mommy spent some time snuggling the new little man, I took the opportunity to snap a few pictures of big brother and big sister, Jamin and Kammi.  Aren’t they just adorable?

Baby yawn!

So completely precious – and I just love those little toes!


Jason and Mindy – congratulations on your newly made family of five.  You have been so blessed with your three amazing kiddos.  I look forward to watching them grow!

Family sessions are few and far between for me these days (and getting more-so with my move to maternity through first-year photography), but when Brittany contacted me about doing a session with their family I didn’t hesitate one bit.  From the first contact it was obvious to me that this fun-loving family and I would mesh quite nicely.  They love the outdoors, so heading out to do a natural light session fit their style (and mine!) much better than a traditional studio setting.

We met up on the most PERFECT evening for some outdoor shots in one of their favorite family locations.

We could take a million posed shots from any family session, but show me one with family interaction and it’s always going to be my favorite!
It was a lot of fun being around the two boys, Travis (11) and Colton (6).  With my own little guy only being 4 it was like getting to get a peak into the future of what little boys are like as they grow!


I am so glad that WT and Brittany asked for a few pictures of just themselves as well.  And for the record – Brittany, you are gorgeous!  I just love your smile!


A big thank you to your family for a fun session.  I enjoyed every minute of it!
