The S Family, 07.29.12

It's always nice to spend time with this adorable family.... this time for some updated family portraits and baby S's 7 month photos... she is such a darling little angel!

Lovely ladies!

Handsome boys!

Love this... and love that we've used the same angel wings in each of sweet baby S's first year of sessions!

She is such a little angel!

Special moments with Mommy!

Edison {1 year}, 07.30.12



It was so much fun to be able to meet up with this old high school classmate and her adorable little guy, Edison!  He is such a sweet, delightful, handsome little 1-year-old!  It was great to have the chance to hang out with him and catch up with his parents!

Edison, one day shy of his first birthday!

Such a happy guy!

Love those big brown eyes!

Aren't they an adorable little family!?

Cracks me up!

The Elkins Family, 07.15.12

I love the families that I get to watch grow over time!  The last time I saw Miss Valerie she was one, a little unsteady on her feet, and with very little sign of the adorable curls that have enveloped her head!  Now in a little over a month, she'll officially become a big sister!  Congrats on the baby-on-the-way Elkins family!  It was great to see you all again!

Sweet Valerie, 2 years old!

Beautiful momma-to-be

Love!

Big sister!

Love that curly profile!

Anxiously awaiting the new guy!

Such a great looking family!

Preston {1 year}, 06.03.12

Happy first (almost - tomorrow!) birthday to this sweet little man!  Preston I can't believe you have been part of our lives for a whole YEAR now!  I hope you have a very special day!  We love you!

Preston, age 1 - fun cake smash collage!

At first, he was not that excited to have his pictures taken.  Or maybe he just doesn't like my truck stool!

That's more like it!

So handsome!

Not sure about this cake business.

So happy!

Mimicking me! :)

Still just not sure about the cake!

Chompers!

Done!

The Mayr-Swietek Family, 05.20.12

My old friend Stephanie from high school, and her little family, moved to Chicago!  Before they headed east, they asked me to take some family pictures of them together with her parents.  I know they are all going to miss each other so much! (PS - not sure why the photos are so fuzzy on the blog - I will have to figure that out!)

The Mayr side

Silly Oliver!  Can't believe he's going on 3!

The kiddos Oliver and Annika with Omi and Opi (I'm sure I've spelled that wrong!)

Love this spot with the tall grass!
