Welcome Baby {A}!

This unbelievable cute baby is just 3 weeks old- and already stealing my heart. He was so sweet and easy going our whole shoot. I just love the peaceful faces of a sleeping newborn. Is there anymore more relaxing to stare at? He has a terrific big sister who was so gentle with him and did a great job taking some photos herself. Thanks {G} Family for letting me share the afternoon with you and your new addition!

{M} Family Portrait Party

These two sisters decided it would be fun to do a shoot with their families together and bring along "grandma and grandpa" in hopes to get one large family picture. Portrait Parties are a great way to do that- each family gets a discount and has fun being together at the same time. The two little boys you see are cousins and they were a total riot together. How fun to have a best friend for a cousin! I think this might have been my coldest shoot yet- so kudos to both families to bearing through the freezing temps! Here is your sneak peek...

Freezing temps + 3 small children who don't want to sit= :)

The {M} Family

This family braved a chilly day outside, but we were all just happy to see some sunshine! I was thrilled to meet these two girls- they were as sweet as they are beautiful. Enjoy your sneak peek {M} Family! The rest are coming soon!

The {P} Family- Silent Auction Winners!

This beautiful family bid on a basket I donated this past summer and won! What a great time of year to schedule their session- the fall leaves made a perfect backdrop for some of these shots.

Sneak Peek at Fall Mini- Shoots!

Well, I'm happy to announce I survived my first annual "Fall Mini-Shoot"! Ten families in less than 10 hours sure made the day fly by. Yes, in true fall fashion... it was freezing and yes, I thought my fingers would freeze and fall off. But thanks to some friendly faces along the day, a very sweet friend who brought me hot chocolate, and an amazing friend who worked alongside of me most of the day keeping the kids happy and entertained, I made it!! I'm so glad I did- so many beautiful pictures to capture. Here is a little sneak peek behind my day....

OK- so not everybody was so excited and happy to have fall photos taken...
And here is the sign we are done... the full back arch! :)My next mini-shoot is on October 24th- here's to hoping for some warmer temps!
