Thomas and Amelia

I was so excited that I could photograph these 2 little cuties from Lincoln!  Thomas and Amelia were in town for a few days, and we had such an amazing session together.  They are 15 months and 5 months old, so I was prepared for quite a challenge.  :)  But they were awesome...

Here is Tommy in an antique chair of his grandfather's.  His family has a picture of his grandfather in the same exact chair at about the same age, just 80 years ago!  How neat!

And little Miss Amelia, who is SUCH a sweetheart.  I love those big blue eyes!

Isn't she adorable??  She had that cute little tongue out all the time, and it was just precious!

Another shot of Tommy - I love his curls!

And the happy girl, Amelia, again! 

Thanks, Katie (and Pat), for bringing the kids to see me while you were in town.  I'm so glad that it all worked out!  Your kids were such a joy to photograph - I really enjoyed our time together.  Can't wait until next time - we'll have to do family pics outside!  :)  Talk to you soon...

Grant

Oh my goodness, this little guy was such a fun time!  Grant is 4 years old, and OH SO CUTE!  I just couldn't get enough of him...

Gotta love the tongue!  :)

We went outside at the end of our session to get a few more shots...  It was pretty chilly, but he was a trooper!

And I love the ones that we got with Grant and his mom...  Aren't they both so photogenic?

Thanks, Jaime, for bringing Grant to see me!  I really enjoyed our session together, and getting to know you both.  You have an adorable (and sweet) little man, and I can't wait until the next time I can get him in front of my camera.  What a joy! 

Lily and Lucy

You've got to check out these little cuties!  It's hard to believe that Lily and Lucy are already 4 1/2 months old...  And they are SO adorable!

They weren't too excited about these outfits, but just look at how sweet they are!

And just look at those smiles!  Love them!

Thanks, Tony and Lindsey, for bringing the girls back to see me.  They are so much fun!  I'm so glad that they are members of my Baby Plan, so I get to see them all the time!  I always enjoy our sessions together.  Can't wait until next time!

Taylor, Audrey & Thomas

I was so excited to get these kids back in front of my camera!!  You might remember my previous assistant, Angela...  Well, these are her kiddos!  We had such a great time downtown - and WOW, they are all three SO photogenic!

Here's little Thomas... It's so hard to believe that he is already 3!  I remember when he was just a baby...

And Miss Audrey - who is the big Kindergartener now! Isn't she a cutie?

And Taylor, who is DRIVING!!  What??!!  Where does the time go?  He's gotten so handsome too...  :)

Thanks, Angela, for bringing your kids back to see me!  I had such a great time during our session together.  Love ya!  xoxo

Camryn is 6 Months!

Baby Camryn, one of my Baby Planners, is already 6 months old!  And isn't she a doll?  She has the most beautiful blue eyes and the sweetest little smile...

And OH.MY.GOODNESS!  Check out these adorable shoes!  Have you ever seen leopard high heels for a baby girl??  Aren't they a riot? 

And here is Camryn with her mom and dad...  They are such a sweet family!

Thanks, Lewis and Debi, for bringing your baby girl back to see me!  She is such a sweetheart - I really enjoyed our session together.  I can't wait to see her back again next time...

Alexis and Olivia

It's hard to believe it's already been a year since Olivia was in the studio for her newborn portraits!  Now she and her big sister Alexis are back, and it's amazing how much kids can change in one year...

Here's Miss Olivia - it's hard to see in this pic, but her shirt says "Miss October".  :)

Another sweet shot...  Little Miss Olivia has been walking since she was 9 months old, so you can imagine just how active she was in the studio for us.  Oh my, she kept us running! 

And here's her big sister, Alexis.  I've ALWAYS enjoyed photographing Alexis (that is such a huge understatement).  She is so fun, and so photogenic!  This is her "with an attitude". 

Another one that I love...

Thanks, Becky, for bringing your girls back to see me!  I had a great time with them (as always).  I'm so sorry that the weather didn't cooperate for outdoor photos, but I LOVE all the shots we got in the studio.  You have such beautiful girls, and they are always such a joy to photograph...

Jaxson & Riley

What cute little guys!!  I photographed little Jaxson a couple years ago, and now he is back with his new baby brother, Riley.  And what a fun session we had!  Jaxson is three years old, and Riley is just three months old.  Aren't they adorable??

Here's little Riley - just look at that sweet smile!

And big brother Jaxson...  He is just as sweet as ever, and such a great help with his new brother! 

Thanks, Shad and Michelle, for bringing your family for photographs!  I had such a great time during our session together.  Jaxson is growing up so fast, and it was wonderful to meet your new little man, Riley!  Congratulations on your new addition, and I can't wait to see them again!

Baby Ellie

What a beautiful baby girl!  Little Ellie Renae came all the way from North Platte for her newborn photos, and you couldn't ask for a sweeter baby. 

Here she is with mom...

And you've just got to check out this cute hat!  Her two big brothers picked this out for her, and of course we had to get a shot with it...  She even has the grouchy "pirate" look to go with it!  :)

One more to share...  Isn't she sweet?

Thanks, Rob and Nicole, for bringing baby Ellie (and Aaron and Jared) to come see me.  I had a great time getting to know you during our session.  Little Ellie is such a beautiful baby girl... and what a sweetie too!  Thanks again for allowing me to photograph her newborn photos.  Can't wait to see y'all again!

Baby Chandler

I just couldn't wait to meet this little newborn!  Chandler is just one week old in these photos, and she came all the way from Stapleton, Nebraska.  And what a little sweetheart she is...

Her mom brought and antique bread bowl for us to use...  Love it!

And here she is in a sweet little dress that her grandmother wore as a baby...

Just look at that precious little face...  What a doll!

Thanks, Shane and Angie, for bringing Chandler to see me!  What a great session - she was such an easy baby to photograph.  I love how all your pictures turned out.  I'm so glad that you are a new member of my Baby Plan - I can't wait to watch her grow over the next year.  Give Chandler a big hug and kiss from me!!

Halloween Mini Sessions

Our Halloween Mini Sessions were a big success again this year!  Thanks to everyone who participated - it was so much fun to see all the kids in their costumes.  Orders are still rolling in, so I don't have a final number on how much we've raised for Operation Smile, but I know we'll be making a nice donation this week.  Thanks again to everyone for making this a great day, and a great fundraiser! 

Here are some photos from the day...

 

 

 

Happy Halloween!!
