I have photographed these families before and they are a joy, you may recognize the girls from the Gainan’s Little Sprouts campaign, of course they sported their adorable duds from that great boutique store.  Cousins are a blast to photograph because their interactions with each other are completely different than siblings.   I love the pic of little miss gazing at her older cousin adoringly, so sweet!!!

to warm your heart on a freezing day!  I know I posted baby Brooks yesterday, but while putting the finishing touches on the gallery I came across this pic and couldn’t leave it out. I just came in from the freezing cold and saw this image and instantly felt warm and gooey inside.  Here one week old baby Brooks is holding his grandpa’s finger and looking at it with wonder.  I think because my dad passed away before I had my babies and knowing that he was never able to see them or hold their tiny hands, this one gets me a little choked up.   What a treasured time!!!!!  Enjoy every moment!

This baby melted my heart, something about him made me swoon, and get those crazy baby urges, I don’t think that has happened since we had Ty. (don’t worry Chris, I know we’re done)  He was soft, cuddly, the most laid back, relaxed baby ever, and mom was breathtaking. This shoot was a dream, mom and baby were perfect, and then we had a brand new grandma in the mix, she was a blast to have around, I have never seen anyone so over the moon in love, she was so excited, gushing, helpful and kind, these grandparents were fabulous.  Baby Brooks is completely adored by all, deservingly so.  Congrats on your precious new arrival.

This family was so fabulous!  I know what a nightmare it can be to get clothes together for a photoshoot, especially for 7 people!, and mom pulled it off, great job!  I lalalalaLOVE  watching families work together and egg each other on during shoots, it is hilarious to watch/listen to siblings try and get their brothers or sisters to laugh.  Thanks guys for braving the crazy wind and making it a fun morning.

These boys were a hoot!  You can tell this family loves to play, laugh and have fun together, the parents were so nice and hilarious as well. Sometimes during shoots I think to myself,  I would love to hang out with these guys, this was one of those times.  Thanks guys for a great afternoon.

This little miss is one of the luckiest babes I know.  She is surrounded by a family that completely adores her right from the get go.  I always thought it would be great to have an older brother to watch my back and she has three!  She had everyone wrapped around her finger at one week old, the boys would be running around yelling, wrestling, acting like boys but as soon as they would get near her they would automatically calm down and turn into the sweetest most gentle beings you have ever seen, it was awesome to watch.  You can tell by the huge smile on her sweet face that she knows she will be well taken care of, protected, amused by big brother antics and loved for her entire life.  Welcome to the world baby Ava!!

I love these little guys, I have been photographing them since they were newbies, their last shoot (see it here) was so fun, we were wondering how to top it.  I have to admit, the older they get the more fun I have running around attempting to keep up.  They keep me on my toes, and are so adorable I have no doubt they will have adoring fans falling all over them later in life.  Thanks guys, remember me when you make it big.

and the river.  This family was so easy and fun to photograph, we had a blast enjoying one of the last gorgeous fall days.  I love when siblings feed off of each other, the two pics below were among my favs.  Thanks for a fun morning!

It is so fun to photograph friends, the kiddos were fabulous and full of energy and smiles.

The crazy senior season is “mostly” over but I did have the chance to photograph this lovely young lady recently so I wanted to be sure and share her with you.  She is in luv with her puppy dog, so we wanted to be sure and include the pup in the session.  Jessica was so sweet, quiet, kind, and take a look at her gorgeous eyes!  (Thanks again Ashley for doing a fabulous job on her makeup!)
