This is my sweet nephew Jack! Look at those beautiful lips. I mean wouldn't you just love to have great lips like that?
It is so wonderful to see my brother-in-law and sister-in-law as parents. The overflow of love they have for this little boy brings an instant smile to my face. What a blessing!
Enjoy seeing a few snapshots of their precious little guy :)
Meet baby Jack! How sweet is this little guy? He was long awaited and is dearly loved by his parents and his very proud big brother. I'm so happy for this beautiful family :)
My dear friend Abby and her husband Luke just had the most adorable baby boy. His name is Tyler and he also has a very proud and helpful big sister named Ella. I absolutely love this family! I used to teach with Abby and though we don't get to see each other very often anymore, we remain great friends.
Photographing the children and families of my friends is one of my greatest joys and honors. Life goes by so fast and being able to capture such precious memories for those I care about feels like a gift to me as well as to them.
I got to spend several hours with these great friends and snuggle their handsome and cooperative little man. I still smile remembering how much Ella wanted to help and couldn't wait for her turn to take pictures with her brother.
Congratulations to Luke, Abby and Ella on this blessed addition to your already wonderful family! Thank you for trusting me with these precious moments :)
Baby Anderson must have wanted his family to have something extra special to be thankful for this Thanksgiving because he decided to come a couple weeks early.
His session ended up being on a cold, dark, rainy day, but he was content as long as he was warm and had a full belly. He smiled for me several times which is always a lot of fun to capture.
He is one lucky baby, coming into a loving family with a big brother who couldn't wait to "introduce" him to me. Gotta love that!
Our family has been eagerly awaiting this precious little girl. What a blessing and a joy it is to welcome a new life into a family and Karina is certainly both.
I'm a little partial, but I think she is absolutely gorgeous. She is such a good baby and is letting her parents get at least some sleep. Her little brother likes her most of the time and is going to be such a good sibling.
The day I was going to take these pictures of her was one of those days where nothing was going right for me. I prayed on my way over that she would sleep soundly and I would be able to get some great images of her. Oh my did God answer my prayer! Not only did she sleep through every single part of her session, she smiled at some point in nearly every pose I put her in. LOVE it!!!
So, needless to say, I had a hard time even figuring out what to put in this preview, but here are some of the many faces of sweet Karina.
