mama love.

i am always so happy to photograph mama bellies!
it is one of the most beautiful forms, i think.

and i truly enjoy being around this fun family.
so, when melissa asked me to do some maternity/family shots a couple of weeks ago, i was totally on board.

this will be their third babe and it is really fun to see the anticipation and excitement among each of them for the newest member.

a few images that i really enjoy:

beauty in abundance

there are several images from this session that i am just totally in love with. it was hard for me to choose which ones to share on here.

these girls are just amazing. i photographed them last year as well.
the images that we captured this time around really pull me in.
i feel like the setting was perfect for them, for their beautiful bright hair and for capturing little pieces of their unique personalities.

i am also really pleased with how these images look when transformed to black and white.

serious abundant beauty.

a few of my faves:

all things wonderful

this is one of my most favorite sessions yet!
i SO love working with this family.
Christine has been a long time friend of my sisters and a family friend in the process...and i just always enjoy being with her and her beautiful family.
they are all gems.

i love the images from this session.
i love the feel...the vibe...the goodness.

here are a few favorites:

cousin love*

i am going to do my very best to get caught up in this space so that i can actually post some previews for my clients BEFORE they get their disc of images! ;)
photography has been busy, which is so wonderful...but i am finding it hard to keep on top of this part of things.
so, here is me making an effort. i will probably post several sessions today in attempt to get up to where i am with my processing...and hopefully from here on out, i will have some previews available to my incredible clients.


starting with my little photo date with my cousins, their spouses and kids.
super fun!
i always enjoy my time with my cousins and always walk away longing for more quality time with them.

here are a few images from that session that i love looking at:
