I met Zoe’s mommy

thirteen years ago.

we were sophomores at

Penn State

and found ourselves

in the same pledge class

for an amazing sorority.

Zoe’s daddy is also a

Penn Stater

I’ve known

more than a decade.

Zoe,

well she is

perfect

in every way.

just under seven pounds of

full lips,

deep blue eyes,

and the longest fingers.

her mom and dad are

head over heels,

totally smitten,

and counting their

blessings.

life is just about

perfect

at this moment.

her two sweet cousins stopped by for a bit…

I’m still what feels like a million sessions behind on blogging – and I promise to get caught up this weekend, but I couldn’t wait another minute to post some images from this morning’s session.

I meet Kenzie when she wasn’t even two weeks old, and each year I feel so lucky to be able to capture family images for them. This year when mom and I started talking about the session we had something entirely different planned, then she posted a picture of a dress on FB she was buying for an upcoming formal function they are attending, and the wheels started turning. Instantly I went to their gorgeous gown in a field filled with tall grass and pretty light…and well mom was totally on board. I seriously love clients who trust me completely to style a shoot, I promise you won’t be disappointed! Case and point…

I don’t try to play favorites, really I don’t, but when you are able to watch a family grow over nearly two years they start to get under your skin and into your heart. Skye & Brady have been on this blog since birth, and now at 20 months they are cuter than ever!

Yesterday I met a petite little nine day-er. She’s their first child. Surrounded by some amazing grandparents who’ve come all the way from India. There could not have been more love in the house yesterday. And little miss, well she was amazing.

7 months of absolute delight and big blue eyes.

Totally adores her mama.

Looks just like daddy, and is quite the globetrotter already.

My newest babyplanner…get ready to see a lot more of her!

I haven’t posted in almost two weeks!! I’ve been quite busy since returning from maternity leave, and I have a lot to blog, but it’s late so just a quick post for now. There are plenty more posts and images coming soon, not to mention four more sessions this week!

Tonight I had some holiday (yes, that’s right, I said holiday) mini sessions. Some pretty cool families came out to see me. Just wanted to share a few from my early session – it was approximately a million degrees with the humidity, and this sweet family didn’t complain once – note the long sleeves and jeans! I hope your evening at Six Flags was fun, thanks for coming out!

She has just turned two, and he four months.

She was one of my first baby planners, and he’s one of my newest.

There was pretty morning light, and amazingly decorated bedrooms.

It was the perfect welcome back from maternity leave.

(super size sneak peek ahead…)

You’d think after nearly 20 years in Texas I’d be prepared for August. But every year I live in denial as long as possible…until, well until days like Monday. When its 105 before the heat index. With no wind. At 7 PM.

So, we braced the heat, the glistening skin, and red faces in order to get some adorable shots of Abby, a babyplanner who was ready for her sitting session. She’s still as adorable as ever, starting to favor mom in looks, and has to take everything in before she warms up. She’s got two perfect bottom teeth which she was more than happy to show off, as long as mom and dad were dancing and making funny noises behind me.
