Boyle Family Session

Long time no see everyone! Just popping in to share a recent family session that was full of energy and cuteness!

Big thank you to the Boyle family and all of the kiddos for choosing me to capture you all on that hot summer day, you guys did great and I found every giggle, tear, and ornery smile so perfectly charming!

Mason & Madilynn at the Pumpkin Patch

Making another appearance on the blog is Miss Madi with big brother Mason!

This was another session that I had at the local pumpkin patch this autumn. Miss Madi showed up to the session fast asleep and much to our surprise woke right up ready to flash that cute little grin right away. :D

Anyone else in love with the colors I got from this bright mid-day session?

Madilynn | 4 Months

 Be still my heart. I can't handle the cuteness of Miss Madilynn! She's got the most perfect girly baby chub goin' on and I was so happy to be taking her 4 Month photos! You may recognize her from her newborn shoot that I posted a few months back and she did a fabulous job at this quick shoot we did together on Fathers Day evening.

This was my first shoot experimenting with the dreamy nightfall composite and I'm so happy with the way it turned out. It's a perfect fairy tale like image for her nursery. Thank you Megan for asking me to take your little cuties photo's again. :) Enjoy this little look into our session.

Goodbye May Hello June!

Well, I have been a terrible blogger lately. :(

In my defense, last week was my birthday week! Woohoo! In case you were wondering I am now 23.

Any-who, my most recent round of images that I have been working on have all been 100% for me and I love it. However, it makes for a hard decision as to which I should blog about and when, hmmm. So I will just start posting as much as you can handle for now, how does that sound?

Hopefully it sounds good...because I'm doing it anyway. Muahaha...

Oh my Ry baby! This is what happens when Ry and mommy eat supper alone. We make silly faces at each other from across the table...and mommy ends up making a dash to the camera to capture it. I love my little blondie!

No editing out Cheetoh faces here! I love my little ladies oh so much. Thanks to my husband Andrew for taking this photo on Mother's Day! I rarely get a good pic with these fast moving targets!

Don't fight my love Diem! I promise I wasn't torturing her. These edits were processed with Morgan Burks Photography's Radioactive Collection. It's so nice to play with something fun and different with these colorful images.

Aww my blue eyed girl was tired. Daddy makes for a good pillow at the end of a long day.

Meet my pretty stinkin' adorable family. Photo taken by my sister!

Look who's hubby can take a decent flower shot! I looked over between taking pictures and caught him standing all up in this bloomin' bushes business. ;)

Andrew strikes again! The horticultural paparazzi. Seriously though, I love it when he gets curious and starts taking actual photos with my camera. :)

We'll see how long it will be until the next time I get in front of my own camera! It's not an easy task, I will give my subjects some credit there. In case you missed it, all of the family images including the first flower image by Andrew, were processed with Morgan Burks Photography: Radioactive freebies. I can't wait to try them out in my upcoming engagement shoot! Until then, keep your eye out for another make-up post within the next day or so!

-Baby Madilynn-

As you all know after graduating from college last December I decided to go on a break from booking sessions so I could focus on family and getting a grip on what direction I wanted to take my work.

I couldn't help but say yes, however, to my Zumba instructor Megan when she asked if I could take her ADORABLE new baby girl's photos in March. What can I say...I have a huge weakness for brand new baby girly-ness. It's just too good to pass up. ;)

We decided to meet at in their home and do a relaxed lifestyle shoot, focusing on baby Madilynn and her loving family around her. I've come to the conclusion, that the best and most real moments come from lifestyle shoots with the subject in their natural home environment. Real moments happen at home, not in a studio. A mothers touch, a brothers grin, the family gathered on mommy and daddy's bed, and bare feet. It just seems right!

Here is a little peek at our session together.

Megan decorated Miss Madilynn's room in a perfectly cute mixture of pink, teal, polka dots, paisley, and chevron. Big Brother Mason even wrote a letter to baby sister letting her know just how much he loves her. *Awwww!*




Those little fingers and cheeks! I die.

Thank you Megan, Jamie, Mason, and Madilynn for welcoming me into your home to take photos of your newly expanded family. I hope you enjoy your images!
