This is Olivia, and she has had these adorably squishy cheeks from the moment she was born. She is the picture of the chubby, happy baby that everyone loves. Olivia’s big sister was a baby plan baby and now it’s Olivia’s turn. We tried to do a little bit of copying from some of big sister’s three month shots and we spent some time outside (wow, is it hot today!). Look here to see how much Olivia has grown in just a few short months! I can’t wait to see her next for six month pictures :)

Olivia in “her chair”.. we’re using this for scale each session.. and seriously, if you don’t love those baby rolls..

Big sister at 3 months (two years ago already!)..

Olivia’s version of the same shot.. she wasn’t as interested in this as we had hoped ;)

Big sister..

Happy Birthday to my baby.. how does the time fly by so quickly!?

I love these kids. It works out well because their mom is great about setting up regular sessions, so I get to see them frequently :) This session was a special session with special guests. Their grandparents are in town visiting, so I was able to take a few images of them with their adorable grandchildren. I even stopped on the way to my car to take a few shots of something other than the usual.. and wow, plants are so easy to photograph.. no running, hiding, or crying from that pretty thing ;)

Little monkey :)

I love that she is holding her little baby- such a sweet (gorgeous!) girl.

I had the pleasure of meeting these two beautiful girls this morning for a newborn session. Big sister is just adorable and little sister is a tiny five day old peanut. Big sister helped me go through my things while little sister ate, ate, and ate some more ;) She was a hungry girl with no time for photos! We did well though- our patience paid off. Aren’t they just perfect?

I love this one.. how sweet of her at the age of two.. to try to comfort her brand new sister.

I snapped this one of big sister while Mom was in the other room feeding the baby.. we were playing with her balloon..

I love her tiny, peely, newborn hands.

This is one of my favorite families.. and they’re moving :( This was our third session and just when I thought their little guy couldn’t possibly be any cuter- he is! Look at those curls and big, gorgeous eyes! We enjoyed a fun morning at the park yesterday. A family- I’m sad to see you all leave Nashville, but I’m looking forward to seeing you again for more pictures this fall in DC (with your two year old!).

I’ve been waiting a few months to meet these adorable sisters, and I finally got to meet them this afternoon. They happen to live in my neighborhood, which worked out nicely :) We were able to shoot a bit at their house and then we headed to the neighborhood clubhouse for some outdoor shots. Big sister was amazingly patient for a three year old and little sister.. completely fearless! Aren’t they beautiful?!

I had a session with this gorgeous family a few weeks ago. The little ones just weren’t feeling 100%, so we decided to have a “part two” of their session. We ended up with a lot of cute individual shots last time, but we didn’t have too much luck with a family picture and that was what we needed for a canvas order. I’m so happy to say that today was a big success in that regard- we have family shots with everyone looking and smiling.. and with a two year old and a baby- that’s huge!

Lucy’s nursery is absolutely beautiful.

I love the trains and lovey that made their way into most of the pictures.. that is so wonderfully age appropriate :)

Happy First Birthday Baby A!! I just love this baby, and I can’t believe she’s already one! She had us laughing nearly the entire time I was at her house today. This was my fifth session with her (I’ll say it again, I can not believe she’s already one!), and her baby plan is now complete. It is amazing how fast that first year goes by. She was just as happy and laid back as she’s always been and we got lots of great shots! I had no idea how to pick for the blog– they are all just adorable.. so here are a few in a set of many. :) Enjoy!

Can you find the baby? I love how she still looks so tiny in her room.. even if she is a big one year old now..

Search back to find her “chair pictures” from her previous sessions.. she wasn’t as willing to sit still for this round ;) We got some of her sweet face, but I love this one of her hiding from us.

Happy Mother’s Day! This year, my little boys gave me a wonderful gift. They gave me a few minutes of time in a park at sunset while I had my camera! I love the sweet shot of them walking together through the field, it’s truly ‘picture perfect’.. but really, my favorite shot is the one of my littlest guy dangling around his brother’s neck while he tries so hard to give him ‘just one more kiss’ because that’s what Mommy asked him to do. Big brother was finished with the kisses.. it’s perfect- it is a picture that tells the story, shows their personalities, and it will look great on a canvas on my wall :) Thanks boys!

Looking out the window, it’s hard to believe I took these pictures just last night. It sure is wet out there today! We went outside to play before dinner yesterday, and I took a few pictures of the boys playing together. There is a big age difference between my boys and while they get along wonderfully, it is sometimes hard to find things they both enjoy. This is one of them.. big brother loves to run as fast as he can pushing (in the car that was his when he was just a little guy!). Baby brother loves the ride. It’s a true win win :)
