capturing life one image at a time
Since the day she was born, we have called her Baby Anne. It feels like she’s outgrown that name now that she has celebrated her first birthday! This precious girl has the sweetest demeanor. So we were all a little surprised when tasting her birthday cake sent her into a crying fit. Big sister didn’t seem to mind though, because that just meant more cake for her.
Happy First Birthday to you Anne!
A rainbow mobile meticulously crafted by her mama. A vintage truck carefully restored by her daddy. And a springbok hide from her grandparent’s home country. This session was filled to the brim with thoughtful details and special mementos.
Your house is the place where you feed your family. It’s where you fold laundry and binge-watch The Office. In these last few months, our homes have also become our offices, our schools, and our playgrounds. It feels like every single aspect of our lives is now happening within the walls of our homes. For each of us, our house is the setting for the story of our pandemic experience. What better way to capture a memory of this crazy season than with a family “porchrait” at your home?!
Social distancing and quarantine have nothing on Lucy! This little lady turned 7 and she wasn’t going to let a global pandemic stop her from partying. Her friends showed up in big numbers to parade in front of her house, from the safety of their cars, and show Lucy how much they love her. This will certainly be a birthday to remember.
While so many aspects of our lives have been put on hold during quarantine, there are good things growing in this time too. For me, one of the sweet fruits of quarantine has been more opportunity to see my neighbors. We are all home all the time, lots of us with little kids, and we just need to get outside the walls of our homes. So we go outside and we walk and we play. The kids ride bikes and swing from the trees while the parents stand a safe distance apart and enjoy the chance to talk to another adult.
I’m really thankful for the families who have found their way to the same little neighborhood we ended up in. It’s fun to live life beside these precious people.
Baby Maddie has a big personality. She gets it from her mama. They are two beautiful ladies with smiles to light up a room. It’s been such a joy to get to know this family over the last year and it was a pleasure to have them all in front of my camera.
Sweet baby Benton has got the most squishy cheeks and the most steady gaze. He took our photo session very seriously and didn’t make a peep the whole time. Congratulations to the Kings on the birth of their most precious boy!
I love fall family photo sessions. I mean, what’s not to love about little girls in cowboy boots and leaf fights in the front yard?
The family is God’s greatest masterpiece.
