the A family

 One of the things I love about taking photos of families is getting to see them grow over the years.  This was my second fall shoot with the A family.  They're a fun, adventurous, loving and spunky family - my favorite kind!  I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Thanks for a fun fall morning, A family!!

nolan {newborn}

 Meet Nolan - a serious heart breaker.

 Nolan is the little guy of my best friend from the first day of Kindergarten.  We've literally lived a lifetime of fun memories together - starting with kindergarten through high school, weddings, and babies.

 Nolan is one lucky dude to have awesome parents.  They're naturals.  He's a very loved little man.

 Welcome to the world, Nolan!

the C family

 The C family has been dear dear friends of ours for years and years.  We've loved this family as they've grown from a family of 2 to 3 to 4 to 5 and now 6!

 Wesley is 3 months old - a sweet and perfect addition to the C family.

 She's a wonderful big sis, which blows my mind...because she's supposed to still be a baby.  She's growing into a beautiful little lady!

 Then there's the big bro - who again, managed to grow up into a little boy...how does this keep happening?!  I'm not getting older, so how are they??

 and the little-big sister.  She's a spunkster, this one!  Lots of personality packed into one little blondie.

Nolan {1}

Nolan is ONE!!

I just love this family - there is so much love between them, they're so much fun to be around, and seriously, they look like they could be in a magazine.  They make my job easy.

We took Nolan's 1 year photos at the Capitol in the middle of a heat wave.  At first, Nolan thought we were crazy for attempting this, but he came around and flashed us his charming smiles!

I think he looks like Baby George Clooney here!

Happy Birthday, little man!!

Jill {maternity}

 This is my beautiful friend Jill and her beautiful daughter and her soon to be handsome son!

 Jill's an amazing mama, friend, and everything in between!  This baby boy (due in August) is lucky to be born into a wonderful family.

Can't wait to meet you, little guy!

Kensley {newborn}

 Kensley is the beautiful daughter of two great college friends.  She's completely adorable and perfect.  It was so much fun to see Kensley's mom and dad too!  It feels like we just graduated from college (even though it wasn't...) and now we're adults with these delicious babies and husbands and mortgages.

 Kensley's mom and dad are naturals - they've got this parenting thing in the bag.

 such a sweet and perfect family of 3

 Thanks for letting me capture these memories!

the A family

 I had the pleasure of taking family and home pictures for the lovely A family.

 They're moving into a new home, so we had a great time capturing their old home before they were officially moved.

such a sweet family, so much love - I'll let the rest of the photos speak for themselves!

 Thanks for a great afternoon - I know you'll have many beautiful memories to come in your new home!
