closeI had the wonderful privilege of meeting little Lucas the first week of his life! The Wrights were kind enough to let me into their home, photograph this new little guy and let their other 3 kiddos jump on their bed while I snapped some real family moments! Thank you Wrights, your family of six is beautiful!
Again, I am so thankful for wedding couples as I am families that continue to grow. I love seeing the same clients return each year and sometimes even twice in a year. Here are some from 2011 that made me smile throughout the year!
As 2011 has come to a close, it would only be fitting to take a look back at my top 11 favorites from 2011. Thank you to all my wonderful couples! This year was filled with new families and new friends. Thank you all!!
So here are the first of 2012…A busy wedding weekend for me, along with ringing in the new year!
Andrea and Kory
Patti and Steve
This is one of my very favorite sessions from the fall. Everything just seemed to fall into place for the day. A new location, the lighting of the sun, the colors of the outfits, the props that they incorporated and over all, a wonderful beautiful story of a beautiful family becoming five.
You may remember Clint and Amanda’s story from a homecoming post I did back in August (see here to refresh). But their story of adoption is one that brings my heart to sing for joy of the wonders that can be done when God is at work. Throughout many highs and lows, lots of tears, and prayer these two beautiful children entered the McAlpine Family. I am overjoyed to call this family friends. (Check out Amanda’s blog HERE, you may be riveted by her amazing eye for crafty-ness and tasty healthy treats! )
PS.. I think this is the most photos that I have blogged in a looong time!
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
