"s" family

on sunday i had a great session with the "s" family. they were quite patient with me, since when i arrived i realized my two year old had been in my camera bag and turned the camera on, leaving me with a dead battery. luckily my spare was in the bag but it too was almost dead. needless to say, i truly appreciated them being so understanding! the session was a great time at a beautiful location! here are their adorable children...

babies!

this has been baby week. i was lucky enough to photograph two newborns this week! "muffin man", as his momma called him was the sweetest little thing today. he was a bit stubborn but still a happy camper throughout the session.

nj mini session 3

a great way to end my nj mini sessions was with an old high school friend. it had been a REALLY long time since i had seen her. i had never even met her two little ones before!

nj- mini session

the best part about these mini sessions was that it was like a little reunion for me. i have known the parents of these beautiful girls for some time. it was great to see them and their gorgeous smiles!

nj-mini

i've known this family for some time. unfortunately, it had been way too long since i have seen them. their kids are so grown up now!

well worth it

last week i drove a bit further than usual for a session and it was well worth it! this family was just too cute. the colors are just amazing this time of year and i love all the family photos i have been able to do to take advantage of the colors.

mr. finn

this was my 4th time now shooting finn. i love it! it's been great watching him grow up. he's such a cutie and is so lucky to still have those great chunky cheeks. i think he's even used to me being in his face with the camera now.

more mini sessions

they were the first family of the day to brave the cold. who knew winter would come so fast or that just the day before it would be snowing?!? this cute family of three is waiting for their fourth!

sitas family

despite the weather trying to hold us off, i was able to take pictures of this gorgeous family. i met jen soon after having my own son and since then she has added one more to her brood! fall is quickly trying to leave us up here, but we were definitely able to take advantage of some of the colors. thank you for having me over for pictures, it was great to see all of you!

holiday mini session: the daileys

it was a nice change to photograph a family with older children. as much as i love little kids, things move a lot smoother with older kids. sometimes they are a little shy, but i think we did great!

holiday mini session: garrett & olivia

today was my first time meeting both garrett & olivia. how cute are they?? olivia cracked me up and kept trying to run away, but was having a tough time in her tights and boots. garrett was a champ with letting me take his picture.

holiday mini session: maddy

this is my second time getting to photograph maddy. this time she was not in the mood to play with me though. luckily, both mom and dad worked hard with me to help get happy maddy to play!

holiday mini session: david & family

i was a little nervous when they pulled up and found out david had fell asleep on the ride over. however, he woke up and pepped right up for me. they pictures turned out great, even though he was a sleepy boy.

holiday mini session: garrett & levi

these two little men were ready to work. they were perfect! great listeners and excellent smiles!

holiday mini session: cash

cash was my first session of the day. he definitely set my day in the right direction! he was cooperative and full of smiles!

rainy days

in the midst of all the rain we have been getting up here, i was able to get a session it with the cutest family! dad was actually thrilled to be doing pictures and their daughter was adorable. unfortunately, half way through our session the rain came back. in our short amount of time though we got some great shots!

family of three

i was so relieved to finally get to meet with this family of three. it almost seemed as if the weather and my "pregancy brain" were against us doing a photo session! it was a bit chilly but we made due and they had a great piece of property to take advantage of. it took awhile but i finally got the little man to look at me and even smile a couple of times!

k & j engagement

last week i had a session with k & j for their engagement pictures. i have known both of them for awhile and really enjoyed being able to do this session for them! i hope they love them!

soon to be three

this weekend i was able to meet up with some familiar people for a great maternity session. unfortunately we were faced with rough conditions, harsh sun and awful bugs! despite the conditions we were able to get some great pictures to capture their baby bump!
