capturing life one image at a time
One year ago, he came into the world
One year ago, she became his mama
One year ago, I got to hold his tiny swaddled newborn body
I can hardly believe how fast a year has gone by!
His first two teeth have made their debut.
And pretty soon he will be walking all by himself.
I love this sweet family of three
Bringing him home was the best impromptu decision we’ve ever made.
He is playful. He is particular. And today he turns one.
Happy Birthday to my favorite feline!
Summer was coming to a close when the ‘for sale’ sign came down across the street. A moving van arrived, a young couple moved in, and suddenly we weren’t the newest kids on the block anymore. When our first introduction turned into an hour long conversation in their bare living room, I knew we had hit the neighbor jackpot.
Adlai is the newest member of this family of 3.
Katherine seems to have slipped seamlessly into her role as a mama. I love to see how much she loves her son.
These days, Adlai is awfully particular about giving out smiles. Thankfully, we were able to sneak this one out of him.
I’m so grateful to call these guys my neighbors and my friends.
Mirabel was made to wear the color pink.
Everything about this little miracle is dainty and girly and sweet.
Hudson’s sitting up all by himself. He’s working really hard to stand on his own two legs. Don’t worry buddy… you’ll get there soon enough.
At the age of three, Sicily has more spunk and attitude than I’ve been able to muster my entire life. She made me chase her all over the playground and around the park to get her photo. But it was so worth it. She’s a doll. And her mama is crazy about her.
In August, I became an aunt. Four weeks later, I got to meet my niece. This is the first time I laid eyes upon sweet Talia.
It wasn’t long before we got to see those pretty blue eyes.
I just want to nibble on these tiny baby toes.
This is one proud daddy
I am certainly no professional, so I was grateful for subjects who seemed like pros in front of the camera. Heather and Darren make parenthood look so easy. It was a blast shooting this sweet family. What a gift they gave to me letting me practice with their precious kiddos.
She is such a good mama.
It was a warm day so Helen took an opportunity to cool off in the sprinklers!
She’s the kind of friend everyone dreams of having. Thoughtful. Creative. Funny. Spunky. She doesn’t notice if I’m not wearing any make-up; she laughs so hard that she snorts; she welcomes me into her home even when she hasn’t had time to straighten up; she pushes me to chase after a dream when I’m too chicken to pursue it on my own. I love this girl.
This is Lulu
And this is Elvis
I am not a dog person, but these two could convince me otherwise. 🙂
They broke the mold after they made this little guy. He’s just about the sweetest thing I’ve ever gotten my hands on. I was eager to test out a new lens and he was the perfect photo subject.
