The Bridgman Family

Last Saturday I had the extreme privilege to get to spend this morning with a very sweet baby girl. This little one was just so relaxed.... not really ever super sleepy, but certainly relaxed enough to let us play and get some cute shots.
I loved how in love these new parents are with their baby.  I enjoyed chatting with them about how crazy in love we all are with our kids.  Isn't it amazing that these little ones, that are so much work, can bring the most amazing joy into our lives?  I know these very well prepared parents are going to truly enjoy all the fun that little Emily is going to bring into their lives.

The Hacker Family

I loved the fall colors in these pictures!  The Hacker Family and I had fun at a ton of spots on this shoot.  We went on a driving session, scouring the countryside for the best spots to capture some fun moments among these three.  It's easy to see how close these girls are with their mom.  What a truly blessed family they are!

Welcome Baby Gavin!

I spent a perfectly wonderful afternoon with this sweet little bundle.... Gavin Thomas Ross.  What a cutie!  And at just 11 days old these parents had it all together.  What a crazy time it can be with a newborn, yet you'd never know it with this couple.  I had a wonderful time getting to know them and hearing their love story.  What a blessed little boy to have this great family to call his own.  To see this shoot in it's entirety, check out the slideshow:  https://vimeo.com/79976263

Fall Fun

My girls were out in the front yard today raking leaves.  They're still at that age where the main object of raking the leaves is making fun piles to jump in.  Nevermind allergies or leaves in your hair.... they don't care.  They are just out to have a super time.  Here's a quick few shots they allowed me to take before they got back into the mess.

Carson is one!!!

Carson turned one a few weeks ago and what a birthday he had!  Family came from far and wide to celebrate the big occassion.  And boy, this little birthday boy didn't disappoint in the cute department.  He smiled and showed off his personality with all the different ideas his mom and I had for a fun photo shoot.  The take-away from this event was a very sweet comment made by Carson's dad, Derek about his wife, Melissa.  Derek is always so very willing to do whatever it takes to get the photo shoot his wife was dreaming of.  And with the effort of all the family there for the big shoot I think we got some really cute ones!   To see the rest of the photo shoot, take a look at their slideshow:  https://vimeo.com/78724161

 

The Methot Family

I spent such a lovely morning with this adorable family at Freedom Park.  Freedom Park offers such a fun variety of spots to shoot in.  I really loved hanging out with this little one that is just learning to talk.  She sees a world where the prickle balls on the trees represent little toy balls to play with on the ground and the geese in the pond thrill her.  Little ones are just so precious!  To see the rest of their family's time at the park check out the vimeo clip:  https://vimeo.com/77168141

I spent a perfectly lovely day exploring Freedom Park last week with this super sweet family.  Here's a few sneak peek pictures from our session.  More to follow soon...

A giggly girlie

This oh-so-sweet toddler gave me the cutest smiles today.  It doesn't take much to get this little wonder to grin and show off her charms.  Enjoy this adorable beauty!

Oh what a tangled web...

My husband and I set off this morning in search of spider webs.  Here are a few of the cool ones that show the handy-work of the amazing arachnids in our neighborhood...

 

 

On this last one I added a bit of fun color for a Halloween feel : )
