It isn’t often that I get to include Grandma and Grandpa in a family shoot, but this sweet Mama really wanted to get some generational photos of the 4 most important men in her life.
I can’t help but feel incredibly sentimental when I look at these. I have quite a few cell phone shots of my kids interacting with their grandparents, but these photos made me pause. I think I may need to make time to document the generations for my own family. We currently live close to grandparents, and great grandparents so other than needing to “make time” for it, I really have no other excuse.
Lets be honest, getting ready for photos isn’t something that ANYONE looks forward to. (myself included) I mean, I personally have to find 7 different outfits that coordinate together, do 2 girls hair, make sure everyone is wearing matching socks (yes, that is a thing in my house) and get myself put together. (which is a whole other thing since I typically don’t “do” my hair) lol.
But these… documenting your visual history… it’s so worth it. <3

These moments, although uncomfortable, are so precious. When you are still 2 and not quite 3 yet. They tell you to “enjoy it” and “sleep because you won’t get much when He arrives” but how in the world do you not be anxious to meet this precious new soul you carry inside? AND how in the world do you “sleep” with so much aching and discomfort?
These encouragements typically come from women who have been in the trenches of motherhood, and know from personal experience. They know how tiring it is to raise a human, but even more than that, they also know how quickly every single moment goes by.
We all know that days of monotony seem to stretch on forever, but weekends and vacations tend to pass in a blink! For all of the tiredness, and discomfort, and pain, and crazy, there is so much joy, and love, and peace, and protectiveness. The moment my first son was born, I felt like life hit the fast forward button, and with every child we have added to our family, it has sped up just a little bit more. Some will say it’s because I am just busier, but I think it is more than that.
Those moments we want to savor, they feel so fast. This life, while my children are little, I want to deeply savor all of the little moments. Every single giggle, smile, twirl, splash, hug and sweet whispers of “I love you mom”.
They say to savor and sleep, because they know what is coming. They know the intense love. They know the exhaustion. They know the passion that carries you through it all as well. Parenting is SO MESSY and SO HARD, but it is so freaking WORTH IT. <3

They drove here from Michigan! When his sweet mom messaged me asking if I had any openings, I was a little flattered and quite surprised! Bottom line. If you are willing to drive across multiple states to have me take your sons senior photos, I will MAKE time! lol
So then they arrived, and I meet this handsome young man. Since when did high school seniors start looking so put together and SHARP! He was laid back and chill with an easy smile and a fantastic sense of humor. We had a gorgeous evening and I got to shoot at a location that I am starting to think is just a little magical.
I get so sentimental when I do senior photos. My oldest is 9 and I know I am going to blink and it is all of the sudden going to be time for his own senior year. It’s going by way too fast. I wish there was a pause button or even better, rewind, because these “young years” are disappearing so quickly. I may be perpetually tired, (I haven’t slept all the way through the night in over 9 years), and I have a LOT on my to do list that never ends, but our life is so wonderfully simple right now. Nothing that can’t be fixed with sleep or food exists in our world, and there is so much beauty in that.
The thought of my kids leaving scares the crap out of me! lol. I am just reminded that my job is to prepare and equip, so that when they leave, they don’t just fly, they soar. Fortunately, I have a few more years to get used to the idea. In the mean time, I have no doubt that Seth will excel at just about anything he decides to pursue.

I have 5 children of my own and I can’t even tell you how much I cherish those brand new moments after bringing a new little one home. Everything is fresh and new. There is so much to learn, so much to absorb, and it’s all through sleep deprived eyes and emotional hearts…
It goes by so quickly!
As beautiful as it is, it’s also one of the most challenging things I have ever done. New life is complicated, and every little soul is unique, and has different needs. Being asked in to peoples homes to document these precious first moments, is such a special thing to me. <3

These two girls! Goodness <3
This was the little ones mini session but I couldn’t resist getting some sister shots. I got to know big sister when her Mama contacted me for her first birthday photo-shoot. We had a blast and she was just adorable! I was super excited to hear from them again when her baby sister was born for newborn photos. I personally take it as a huge compliment when my clients choose me over and over again. <3
She wasn’t sure about my big camera but for a mini session, we got so many super sweet shots and I can’t wait to show them all to their proud parents!

This little one slept like an angel! I absolutely love what I do and lifestyle family photography is probably my favorite but then there’s newborns. <3 They take more time (normally around 3 hours) and their gallery’s take longer to edit because of all their little details but oh how I love them! There is nothing better than being reminded of how precious “fresh” tiny people are, and then to watch how their parents have completely fallen in love with them… It is a gorgeous thing and I hope I never take it for granted.
This little one is the first baby in this beautiful family. I can honestly say that she couldn’t be more loved. It was evident in every touch, every look and every word. <3

Is there anything more precious than a fresh new baby?
Their smell, the little noises, the way their cheeks squish and how they yawn and stretch with their whole body. I love it all!
I get so excited when parents choose one of my Grow With Me packages (for totally selfish reasons) because I get to see them change. I love looking over the different milestones and seeing the little (and big) differences. His Mama’s maternity session turned out beautifully as well.

How is it possible that six whole months have passed since he was born! With every child I have it seems like it goes even faster… I wish I could bottle up his littleness and keep it forever!!!
I am LOVING his red hair :-) Someone pointed out this past weekend that with a blonde, brown and now red I have a batch of Neapolitan going on in our gene pool! I hope it stays this color as He gets older :-)
This month was kind of hard. He has been teething and unfortunately he spent almost a week with a fever and He was obviously uncomfortable for much longer than that. In the midst of all of his fussiness I finally was able to catch a happy morning and grab these images. He is proudly showing off his FIRST tooth that he worked so hard to cut.

I know I am a bit late this month but we had family visiting from Alaska. When you only get to see your family 1-2 times a year our world tends to stop spinning while they are around :-). This was the first time that my in-laws got to see Noah. My mom came down right after he was born so all that is left is my dad. He is planning on making the trip sometime next month!
Since last month Noah has learned to sit up by himself and he discovered his feet! I also can see some teeth outlines on his bottom gums. I think this month might be the last time I get to capture his gummy smile :-). He is growing up… Sometimes it makes me sad, but it is so much fun watching him discover and learn new things. The lighting wasn’t perfect, but life isn’t perfect and I love that I have this moment in print. I want to always remember how sweet this time in his life was <3

Kate was just a few days shy of 2 months old the day we did the photo shoot. I have seen her since then and it seems like she has already changed! It reminds me of how quickly time goes by when they are little. I knew I would like baby photography, but I underestimated how much I would LOVE it!!! Baby Kate was so sweet, and simply perfect <3 I can’t wait to watch her grow!!!
I worked with an Etsy vendor, Sara Grace Accessories and she provided all of the headbands for Kate. She has some gorgeous accessories on her site!
