I had a busy summer photographing some fun families!
Because it was such a cold summer, none of the photoshoots were in 100 degree weather!
(I am happy to say that all of these pictures are safe & backed up on not one, but two external hard drives!)
Here are some of my favorite pictures from my summer photo shoots!
************************
How cute are these siblings?
The girls were working the camera for me!
They loved getting their picture taken.
************************
Sweet Baby Girl Emerson turned 9 months old, so we did another photo shoot
(I also did her newborn pictures)
She is such a good baby & has amazing blue eyes!
************************
I took some sisters pictures in honor of these 2 girls turning 3 years old and 6 months old.
Baby Evie loved the camera & was so cooperative!
************************
One of my friends from church, Kim had me take pictures of their family!
Their daughter is full pf personality & is such a fun little girl!
And, how cute is their little boy?
He is one of the happiest babies ever!
Those eyes....he is going to be a heart breaker one day!
************************
I also had the privilege of photographing one of my favorite families in the entire world.
Their mom used to babysit my sisters and I.
I have known these kids since they were born & I love them like my own family!
************************
I also got to do a very special photo shoot for my friend Brooke's new son.
A child they have been waiting for and praying about for years.
Here he is at 3 days old:
He is just beautiful & a gift from God!
He can't keep his eyes off his Mama:
Congrats Brooke! I am beyond happy for you!
************************
How cute is the name Ivy? She also had the most gorgeous blue eyes.
Ivy was so happy & smiley for me during our photo shoot.
Even the photo shoot was mostly for Ivy, I was able to snap a few pictures of her brother.
************************
My friend Emily wanted me to do a photo shoot for her 2 kids.
Emily is Emerson's (shown above) aunt.
Here is her energetic son! He is a ball of energy!
And, her sweet daughter (also named Claire!)
Emerson was also there, so I also took some pictures of all 3 kids (cousins!)
And another one of Emerson, she has grown up so much in 2 months!
************************
My final photo shoot of the summer came the night before school started.
Literally, the night before school started. I got home from this special photo shoot at 11 pm!
As soon as my friend Heather told me she was pregnant, she asked if I would take pictures during the delivery.
I have done this once before for my friend Lesly & it was an amazing experience.
There is nothing like witnessing a baby being born. What an honor.
So glad I could be a part of Baby Cole's birth day.
Moments after he was born:
Welcome to the World Baby Cole!
Soaking in the newness of life...
************************
It was a fun & busy summer photographing lots of sweet families!
I am looking forward to some fun Fall photo shoots.
And, you know what Fall means....Holiday & Christmas card photo shoots!
Love this time of year!
