I love my little and nephews! Elizabeth is the newest addition to our family and is the easiest most laid back baby. I just adore her already.

Twice the fun. Double trouble. Twin one, Twin two. Whatever the phrase, I am sure it is said often of twins. And I am sure that Kirstjen and Josh have heard it! I have had the amazing opportunity of photographing Josh and Kirstjen for years. From their wedding in Stillwater, to the birth of their first little guy, to photographing a sisters wedding in NY, to now recording these two sweet bundles delivered at the end of January. I can not say enough about what a good mother Kirstjen is and will be to these little guys, but what is not to love about these sweet faces!
I loved photographing all three boys together, and LOVED the expressions Shane was giving the camera.
Yes! Bribes work well when photographing, toddlers! I couldn’t help but get this last one of the boys together with Shane’s lolly-pop!
I do love birthday’s. I especially love celebrating them when the person being celebrated is turing one! I have had the awesome privledge of photographing Alyssa at her milestone moments. See HERE for 3 months, HERE for 6 months, and HERE for 9 months. When the 12 month mark hits, I feel like I am photographing old friends. This birthday celebration was exactly that way, like being with old friends. Tara put on an amazing celebration!
I just loved this little fur coat and the way Alyssa kept her headband in the entire day… my 6 year old doesn’t even do that!
Look at this great expression… caught her more than once during the time doing this!
Her cousin made this great card for her, I couldn’t help but photograph him with it before he gave it to her!
The cake before…
And after…
Happy first birthday Alyssa! Tara and Mike, thanks for letting me a part of it!
Marisa was the gem baby with such kissable pinch-able cheeks and stunning bright blue eyes that sparkled and shined as we perused the Como Conservatory. I could not wait to get some of these up!
Oh my goodness, those CHEEKS! And those leg rolls! And that hat! And that bow! What a cute baby and fun shoot!
Before I get to the weekend, I had to put up at least one photo from the session I did yesterday. More to come of these two handsome little guys.
This shot could be in a magazine! Love it!!!
This is really sweet, Karen.
From their engagement session, to their wedding, to the birth of their first daughter and now to their second, it’s been a joy and honor to be able to photograph couples like the Wargo’s as their life changes.
It’s what makes my job so meaningful and fulfilling! Congratulations Hannah and Jake, your family is beautiful!
Including siblings in your newborn session… yes or no?
My answer is always yes.
It might feel a little chaotic in the moment, but those are often the images you end up treasuring the most—the real connection, the tiny interactions, the beginning of a new family story.
I’ve loved watching the Luong family grow through all three of their children’s newborn sessions, and those sibling moments are always some of my favorites.
If you’re wondering how it all works (and how we make it easy), I wrote a full blog post about it! Check it out in my stories
