Addy and her mommy, so cute:)

Look at those little teeth! I die:)

Mike came about half way through the shoot when he got off of work - no one gets more smiles than her daddy, here is Addy seeing Mike drive up:)

So precious.

How great of a family photo is this?? And how cute are little baby sweater dresses:)

One of my favorites:)

Wouldn't every girl love to have a picture of her and her dad like this? Mike is such a great daddy:)

Photo on the left? I LOVE AUNT TINA'S LIPGLOSS!

Photo on the right? I'm pissed at Aunt Tina, she took my lipgloss away.

Ahh! Favorite number 2! Such a little nug:)

Family snuggles:)

She's juuuust about to walk on her own:)

Favorite #3!

Next we plopped her on the curb (hilarious, she just sat there babbling away to herself) while I got some shots of Jess and Mike:)

Sidenote: she was not sitting on the edge of a street, this was in a parking lot with approximately 5 cars parked - I feel like this could look dangerous if you didn't know where we were:)

Still can't believe Addy is 1 year old already!

Even though I was just heading down to visit Mary and the baby, I couldn't resist throwing my camera in my purse. And a swaddle wrap. And a cute hat. You know, just in case:) We had an impromptu QUICK session before I left, here are some of my favorites:)

Look at that dark hair! Mary said that's what surprised her the most:

Can anyone resist a little bear hat? I can not!

The beautiful momma:)

Eee! Look at those tiny fingers:)

His hair is wild, and I love it:)

Lee jumped in for a few:

If this one doesn't just make your heart full, I don't know what does:)

Mary, you're such a beautiful person, inside and out. I'm so glad I get to call you one of my friend, and it's been so fun watching you and your family grow.....here's to many, many more sessions!

PS - I love that Lee now associates me with taking his picture - as soon as I walked in the door he said "do you want to take my picture??"  Haha why YES Lee, yes I do:)

So precious.

The glowing parents:)

Photos of daddies with their little baby girls are some of my favorites:)

Karen is a natural:)

Look at those lips! So cute:)

I die. Is that hat not the best?? It's a recent purchase of mine on Etsy, I was so glad I got to use it:)

I got a little smile out of her!

Then we had some fun with a Santa hat, and a duck outfit....why not, right?

Thank you guys, for inviting me back to shoot Morgan's newborn photos! She's the cutest:)

My good friend April just had her first baby girl, Charlotte, back on December 19th, and I was finally able to visit her for the first time this week. She is SO itty bitty, I think she's only 6 pounds at this point:) How cute is she? (that's Amanda there on the left, her and I went to April's together....love her!)

Little baby yawns are the cutest:)

Those rabbit ears were killing me:)

Charlotte opened her eyes for about 3 seconds during our visit:

Then it was back to this:

Love these girls! PS how amazing does April look 3 weeks after giving birth?! I hope I'm that lucky one day:)

The day was exhausting.

"Please, no more pictures."

Ah! So mini and squishy.....so cute:)

April, it's so fun seeing you as a new momma!

Can't wait to visit Charlotte again soon!!

Can't wait for more in 2012!

So excited he couldn't contain himself:)

Those two little teeth on the bottom are SO CUTE!

One of my favorites:)

Melissa jumped in for a few:) Ian (dad) is down south for a few months training for a new job.....we'll have to work him into the shoot next time:)

Such a happy little guy!

Look at his monkey hat! Too cute:)

There's something about his expression in this one that just makes me laugh:)

Thanks Melissa! I had a blast hanging out with you guys for the morning, Grayson was such a trooper in the cold:)

Mary is pregnant with their second baby, and they're also waiting to find out whether it's a boy or girl until they give birth - I can't wait to meet this little baby! Doesn't Mary look amazing??

I loved the sonogram pictures she had hanging on the clothesline in the background - such a cute touch.

Next we headed to the park with their cutie pie son, Lee:)

See, isn't this the cutest little family? Love them:)

Love!

My favorite! Every family should have a picture of themselves like this:)

If I could look half as good as Mary does when I'm pregnant one day, I'll consider myself lucky:)

Love this one of the two of them:)

Gah! Another adorable family photo:)

So glad I was able to capture this time of your lives for you both, I can't WAIT to meet the baby in about a month!

We started their shoot on their porch....that wraps all the way around their house. I'm so jealous, I've always wanted a porch like that!

Byron surprised Karen by having all of the landscaping done before the baby arrived....isn't that sweet? Had to include that in the photos:)

Next we headed out into the fields:

Love this one showing off her bump:

So cute:)

Next we headed into the barns, is it weird that I love shooting on hay bales?

The lighting was perfection:

This is my favorite from the session:)

We ended with a few shots in the nursery:)

Thanks guys, I can't WAIT to hear whether it's a boy or girl!

This shoot totally made me want to dig my dress out of the back of my closet, throw it on, and have one of my friends take pictures of me all over again....so fun! Here are some of my favorites from Emily's session:

LOVED that she wore cowboy boots for this session:)

Gorgeous:)

Love the feel of this one:)

The light was absolutely perfect last week:

Thanks Em, I had SO much fun doing this shoot with you!

Such a cute little family:)

Love these two!!

Eek! Those little cheeks:)

I got a little smile! Sure, it's only gas, but I'll take it:)

I'm seeing this on a Christmas card this year....

I DIED over all the hats to buy on Etsy - how cute is this??

One thing we did learn about Reagan, is she does NOT enjoy hats....I had this cute one for her to wear, but she would only scream when we put it on:) Poor Reagan! She was a good sport:)

Thanks guys, hope you enjoyed your first holiday as parents!
