Jennifer and I had the honor of meeting in previous life as an architect.  And you could say we hit it off and struck up a friendship that continues today.  I was sooo excited when she told me almost a year ago that they were expecting their first child.  Jennifer is a totally natural at the mom thing, and Loren is doing pretty good for a new dad too.  Needless to say I was so happy to do a photo shoot for them.  Such a cute little family.  I can only hope that when we finally get around to having children, they’ll be as wonderful as Evan.  Love you guys!

The Denney Family

June 3, 2010

How can you not love that cute little face!?  Will you are the cuties little boy, can I take you home with me?  The Denney’s are just a sweet family that come to me never having done a photo session.  It’s kinda fun getting clients like that, they’re fresh and totally up for anything.  And Will, well he just wanted to swing.  But with a cute face like that, I’ll let him do whatever he wants.

Life as it happens, tears and all

And a personal favorite.  Perfectly content in the swing.

Me: Stacy what’s your due date?

Stacy:  Well that depends.  Maybe May 10th or maybe May 22nd.  She’s measuring closer to the May 22nd date.

So, we scheduled the session for May 15th.  Don’t ask me why we choice to push it that close, fault of not ever having a child myself yet maybe?  On May 14th, Stacy started having contractions.  But lucky they stopped and she was ready to do the session the next day.   Stacy is so comfortable being pregnant, she just radiates beauty.   And our setting was absolutely gorgeous.  Her parents have a beautiful home outside of Lyons that we took full advantage of.  Stacy and Matt were one of my first clients when they were married back in 2008.  Now they’re having a baby girl named Quinn.  I just love it when things come full circle.  It’s going to be such a special opportunity to watch this family grow.  I love my job.

I meet with the Yahaya family a few weeks ago to do a family portrait session since their daughter was turning one.  I love kids at this age.  Their personalities are really starting to surface and they are so curious of everything.  Sefra was very quiet when I first arrived, not really sure what I was all about.  But after a little while she decided that maybe I was alright.

LOVE Sefra’s Dad’s expression!

Probably not the picture you would hang on your wall, but I think it’s pretty cute.

You only turn 2 once

So why not do it in style!  Bouncing gym, pinata, cake, balloons and more sugar then a cotton candy stand!  And how can you forget you best pals!?  And Max was dressed to impress too!  LOVE the cute little sweater and jeans.  A little heart breaker he is!
