I absolutely adore this little girl! Her pinch-able cheeks, captivating eyes and stunning smile are the perfect trio to draw you in! We headed to the beautiful Maplewood Nature Center today for her 9 month photos and it was a beautiful day for it too.
Here are some of my favorite photos from today, and let me tell you...It was hard to narrow them down!
I got to spend several hours snuggling this little guy yesterday, oh yeah...And I took some photos too. He is such a doll, as you can see from the following photos. It took a little while to get him into a nice slumber, but once he fell asleep he was a dream to work with.
Little Izeyah, while born at 8lbs 13oz, was a full pound smaller than his older brother Elijah was at birth, so he seemed so little in comparison. Here are a few (i.e. a lot) of my favorites from our shoot yesterday.
I've known Courtenay for some time now and was eagerly stalking her new blog in which she talks all about the new adventure that her and her husband Chris are embarking upon...adoption! I've been trying to encourage and cheer them on the best I can and when she approached me about a photo session so that they could have updated photos of themselves for their adoption portfolio, I was both honored and excited!
We headed out to Como Park on a sweltering Sunday afternoon. Como is a special park for them as Courtenay enjoys a good run around the lake while Chris drinks his morning coffee.
I hope that they love these photos like I do and I can't wait to continue to cheer them on during this journey.
Travis is the younger brother of one of my best friends, so it truly was a pleasure to do his engagement photos and I very eagerly said yes when he asked me. Travis is almost like family to me as my friends are very dear to me. He and his fiancee Dolores told me they had a particular spot they liked to go to in the evening to enjoy the sights of the city and walk together. When a couple can choose to have their engagement photos done at a location that has meaning to them, I think it makes the photos that much better. I had a great time with you two and I hope you really like these photos.
I have been photographing this boy since he was 10 days old. For his 18month photos, we explored a bit of Stillwater. Now, I'm ashamed to admit, that I've never really spent time in Stillwater. But, now I'm as smitten with that city as I am with this little boy! How could you not love a boy with cheeks and eyes like he has?! He is definitely 18 months as he kept me on my toes and kept me moving through the whole shoot, but it was worth it. Here's some of my favorite photos from our day together in beautiful Stillwater.
