Emerson Joy

I just got back from a quick trip to Austin Texas, to visit my new baby niece Emerson Joy. She was born February 3rd, and is still as tiny and precious as ever! I enjoyed a few days of cuddling with her and of course taking tons of pictures! It was wonderful to spend time with Addie and Griffin too - I snuck in as many pictures of them as they would let me ;-) Finn had his first ear infection, so smiles were hard to come by, the poor little guy! I truly wish Texas wasn't so far away - I love you guys!

One Year old Wyatt

I absolutely love photographing this little guy! He has beautiful blue eyes, dimples, and the sweetest smile ever, Not to mention a modern home, which is always fun! I should have known after doing his newborn and 6 month pictures, that the one year pictures would go just as smoothly! Loved chasing him around and photographing this busy boy as he climbed on furniture, ran after toys, and peeked outside at his puppy Marley.

Baby Elliot

Little Elliot is such a sweet baby boy. Almost 4 months old and he was just taking in all the excitement and silliness in our attempts to make him smile! He just needed a little more food in his belly and then he gave us his adorable gummy grin :-) Worth the wait! He was a little trooper, enjoying the quiet snuggles from Mommy and reading with Daddy in between all the activity!

Winter Session

It was so fun to see how much little Hayden has grown since I took her newborn pictures a year ago! She has the most gorgeous big brown eyes, and the sweetest laid back personality! Her big sister Paiten, and brother Landyn had fun running around and being silly while Hayden just tottled around them. Love the bright shots I was able to get despite the gloomy day!

Jack Jack

My family and I made a trip down to Florida for Thanksgiving, and I was so excited to get to stop and see my longtime friend in Tennessee. We go way back to the first day of kindergarten, so its always fun to get together and catch up! I finally got to meet her handsome little 2 year old, Jack. He is ALL boy, full of energy, and just warms your heart with his big blue eyes! Here are a few favorites from the shoot!

Triplets are 1!

Believe it or not this is my 50th post! This shoot went a lot smoother than I thought it was going to! Its usually hard enough to get 1 baby to sit still, but we were working with 3! They wanted to explore everything, and put whatever they can into their mouths! But with a little patience, and a lot of shots, I got some great pictures of this adorable trio! Jackson, Maddie and Josiah are the cutest triplets I have ever known, and its been so fun to see them grow up over the past year! Happy 1st Birthday Babies!!!

Riverwalk Shoot

We had a nice cool morning in downtown Naperville, the colors of fall are just starting to pop, so the photos have this beautiful warmth to them! I have done pictures for this family before, and if there is one thing that stands out about them all, its their eyes! They couldn't have been cuter! Little Alyson had some spunk to her, Nathan is just a smiley goofball, and the twins Jacob and Owen were so adorable and curious, as most 1 year olds are!

Sweet Riley

This is my third time taking pictures of Riley, and every time she has been her silly spunky self! She did not disappoint this time around - she was having lots of fun running around, watching the fountain, and making Mom and Dad chase her! Its definitely hard to get a 16 month old to sit still, but I think we captured her curious little stage perfectly!
