Emily - Lifestyle Newborn

What a year its been so far! WOW!
I can’t believe im just now getting to blog some sessions/weddings from the first half of the year.

I wanted to start with one of my first newborn sessions of the year!

Emily was a peach for her newborn session. She didn’t make a peep. Except when she tried to bite me mid session. She was over my shenanigans. But I mean she was SO adorable I couldn’t stopppp. Her cheeks were just SO squishy.
Her mom and dad are completely and utterly in love with her. <3

Horst Family - Lifestyle Newborn

I absolutely love this sweet family - I was so excited to capture them going from a family of three to four.
Its been an absolute pleasure to work with Katy & Nick since Amelia was a newborn!
I had a blast exploring their new home and utilizing the AMAZING natural light that it had. Since Katy is a photographer herself I figured natural light would be easy to come by.
I cant wait to capture more memories for these guys and to grow my friendship with them!

I love the Amelia picked up her camera and wanted to participate in the photo taking fun! One of my most favorite families and sessions! <3

Roland - Lifestyle Newborn

OH goodness. Look at this sweet little man!
I know covid ruined fresh 48’s but lifestyle newborn sessions are still a thing thankfully! <3 <3

Ill stop yapping. Heres those sweet pictures!

Turner Family - Lifestyle Newborn

Covid ruined fresh 48’s but it couldnt ruin lifestyle newborn sessions!
This sweet family was one of my favorites <3

Little Tyson is just adorable! <3 I hope to see these guys again soon!

Gavin - Lifestyle Newborn Session

This was my second lifestyle newborn session after quarantine, and it was just a breath of fresh air…
It was great to catch up with Sean and meet Katie & Gavin for the first time!
Sweet little Gavin was not having it for the first half of the session but after some food and rocking he was asleep and good to go for the last half!
I truly love lifestyle newborn sessions. Its just so nice to be in a clients home and be where they feel most comfortable.

Cooper - Lifestyle Newborn

Mr. Cooper… oh Cooper.
This was one of my favorite lifestyle newborn sessions… Little baby Cooper is this sweet fam’s rainbow baby. He is SO loved by his brothers and sister already. I am counting down the minutes until I can get this family in front of my camera again! <3

Baby Rory - Lifestyle Newborn

My longest ever friend had a baby a few months back, and im just now getting around to blogging about it!
This was the first lifestyle session I have done without natural light, and im digging the contrast and lighting!
Im sure this little nugget is getting bigger and bigger every day! <3

Gianna - Lifestyle Newborn

Gianna made her way into this world while I was in California helping my sister move back home. Her parents Jenna & Andy started off as clients, but quickly become great friends. Jenna is my hair stylist and even did my hair for my wedding. I was so excited that they had me do these pictures for them.
Gianna is SO photogenic and that head of hair is to die for. Her parents are just so in love with her. I absolutely loved all of their images that I had NO chill when posting sneaks. I just knew I had to blog their session. <3

Vivien - Fresh 48 & Lifestyle Newborn

Not long after Ryan & Liliya’s maternity session, baby Vivien popped into this world. It was such a cold day. SO cold. She was also born on my grandmas birthday ;) She was so stubborn when it came to her photo session. Every time we would start to take pictures, she would want mom and some food. We went for as long as we could before we just called it. I mean look at these facial expressions….. <3

About a week after that, I went to Ryan & Liliya’s house for a sweet lifestyle session. We timed it perfectly before sunset so we could get that beautiful golden sunlight..
I am so excited to see them again soon!

Nina - Lifestyle Newborn Session

Oh baby Nina. You were the happiest baby I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Look at the smileeeees she gave me!!
These proud parents knocked it out of the park with their adorable lifestyle newborn session. Every time I turned around Nina was throwing a smile our way. Id say these new parents are super smitten..

Max - Fresh 48 & Lifestyle Newborn

I met Cortney and Dave in December for my Christmas mini sessions. Cortney then reached out for a fresh 48 AND lifestyle session. I was beyond thrilled. Seeing as I don’t get a lot of Fresh 48 sessions I was so excited. A week later, I was welcomed into their home for their lifestyle newborn session. I hope to see this beautiful family of 3 soon!

Horst Family - Lifestyle Newborn

Its not a secret I don’t get a lot of newborn sessions, so you can understand my excitement when Katy contacted me. I am just IN LOVE with their little family. Sam the puppy really got in on it too. He’s very protective over his little sister. <3 <3 I need more of these. My heart cant handle the cuteness.

Baby Blasie Arrival

I love this family. Love is an understatement. This would be my fourth session with this amazing family. We finally go these pictures in, and I could not be happier with them. I know Mila and Emerson love their new baby brother. And while baby brother was taking a nap, we played on mommy and daddy's bed!! I swear, Mila is going to be America's Next Top Model. For Real. Just look at this little girl! I can't wait to see this beautiful family again soon!

Tami & Joe

Oh Tami & Joe. I met these two beautiful people last year at their wedding, which I photographed! :) They are super special, and I love that they have stuck with me. Which is *why* I love being a wedding photographer. I form those special bonds with my bride and grooms. Its amazing.

I was so excited when Tami contacted me to tell me they were expecting! They drove all the way from Chicago for a maternity session. Upon arriving Tami tells me Joe forgot his shoes!! (Insert laughing, crying faces) He had on those slip on shoes!! Oh goodness. I laughed so hard. It was a very chill October day, for sure one of the colder days we had in October. It was very gloomy, but still so beautiful!
I cant wait to meet their little girl here soon!!

Ainsley - Fresh 48

Oh. My. Goodness. This session was full of adorable baby yawns and cute big brother smiles. This has to be one of my favorite Fresh 48 sessions to date! I absolutely adore when big brother is all about his new little sister. He couldn't get enough of Ainsley! And those smiles!! I just cant.
