Weston is one, part 1

As soon as I laid eyes on little Weston when we met at our location I knew that this session was going to be amazing.  He is just the sweetest, most beautiful boy!  He was so happy during our shoot (and if he wasn't it was nothing a little snack or a hug couldn't fix) and was so relaxed in front of the camera.  His parents were amazing and came with the perfect little rocking chair to use for some of the images.  We started at the park where we set up in a few different spots with pretty lighting and then headed across the street to the lake to let Weston pick flowers.  It was sort of a challenge because it was such a beautiful Saturday that the park was super crowded but with some strategic angles I think we were able to make it seem like Weston was the only one enjoying the spring evening.  I hope you love these as much as I do and watch for the second part of Weston's 1 year old session coming soon! :)

life inspired

This is my first month participating in the "Life Inspired" photo project with Beyond the Wanderlust!  I love documenting our daily life and I did a lot of it this month since we did quite a bit of traveling to see all of the grandparents.  I don't have a lot of rules for myself about when to take pictures of my family but I pretty much go by the rule that if I think to myself "I should get my camera." I do.  I always try to capture firsts of any kind and in this month's worth of images there are a couple--my daughter's first ice cream sundae and eating marshmallows out of a mug of hot chocolate for the first time.  I also try to take pictures of anything that is especially "her" at this age.  The crazy outfits she picks out, the giant block towers she spends for ever working on, and the way she devours a breakfast sandwich at Subway--all examples of things I don't want to forget about my daughter at 2.5 years old.  I hope you enjoy these and make sure you head over to all of the April posts to check out some amazing photographers and how they document their family's life!

Baby Elise Part 2

If you saw part 1 you already know that Elise is absolutely adorable.  The first post was just scrumptious baby pictures.  This post is a collection of my favorite images of baby with her family.  Even though big sister wasn't too into having her photo taken we still got a few cute shots.  I think I love the ones of mom and baby best.  I had so much fun working with this family and it was really an honor to be allowed into their home to capture these memories for them.  I hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them!
