My dear darling younger sister had her third precious baby (how does she have three little piglets already??!) this past December 2011. Eliza Lennox is my new baby niece (she is so delicious! :), so we thought we would take a few, cute shots of her when she was about 4 weeks old. Adeline and Ryder (big sis & bro to Eliza) got in on the action towards the end. I thought it would be fun to put a little face paint on all three of the darling babes :) Of course the oldest two loved it, and kept wanting to go “take a look” in the mirror during the little photo session. lol.
Here are a few of my favorites from that day…

Welcome to the world, Eliza Lennox

Miss Piggy…

Big bro, Ryder (one and a half years old)!

Adeline (Three year-old big sis) joined the younger two with the painted faces!

Love my nieces and nephew. xoxo

Precious little boy, Liam, was born on January 4th of this year. For his newborn shoot, his mother suggested we add a few New Year themed photos to the mix as well, what a great idea! Check out some of my favorite images from the shoot below.

Welcome to the world, Liam…(I hear babies are delivered by balloon now…no longer stork :)

Big sister, Ella, came to join in on the fun!

This session was way fun, and extremely cute! My cousin, Holly’s adorable son, Mateo, likes to dress up in his “Clark Kent outfit (as you will see below :), so Holly thought it would be fun to take a few photos! My niece, Adeline, joined in on the fun as well (wearing a “Wonder Woman” t-shirt, of course, to go along with the theme :). The kids loved wearing their fake spectacles too, which was incredibly cute.
Here are a few images from the session…

Such cute cousins…

Little Ryder joined towards the end…precious

Precious little Audrey was born this past Decemember 2011 to my cousin, Kristen, and her husband, Marc. Audrey is their firstborn child, and they are head over heels for her (you can very much see the love they have in the photos below :)
What an exciting time in Marc and Kristen’s lives right now! I was so happy when they asked me to photograph Audrey a few days after she was born..what a little angel.
I posted just a few of the images from the shoot below.

Congratulations Marc and Kristen on your firstborn daughter…may you continue to treasure this time, and all the joy little Audrey will continue to bring your way.

First Time

“When I held you for the first time,
my life began to shine.
I knew then this life wasn’t just mine.

I would do what it takes,
To help you correct your mistakes.
To get by the challenges you may face.

For our freedom many have fought,
Somedays will be good, others will not.
Always thank god for the life you got.

The world isn’t perfect as you will see,
Having you here made it better for me.
When you’re in need, by your side I’ll be.

For you are my daughter for eternity.” -Maria D. Falcon

Daddy’s hands

How exciting it must be to cradle your firstborn….xo

Just a little Easter fun! Hope everyone has a fantastic holiday. So thankful for Easter and all it means to me. Xo

Shaun and Jena wanted to celebrate their two year anniversary, as a couple, by doing a little “love” shoot. If you know Shaun and Jena, then you know that they are super “fun-loving” individuals with loads of personality! This shoot was so much fun, just like they are!! :) :)

I am reminded each time I have the privilege to post another shoot or design project on my little blog…of how thankful I am that people allow me to be a part of their lives, even if just for a few hours to snap some photos…it means so much to me. I love to learn something new with each project.

Shaun and Jena 2012…

It’s just so pretty…
