Meet Olivia and Liam... two of the sweetest little people that have ever been in front of my camera :)
I took Liam's newborn portraits just 19 months ago... it was so crazy to see how big he's gotten! That's one of my favorite things about my job :)
We wanted to capture some candid photos of Liam doing what he does best: playing! He loves his trucks, making art, bubbles, and helping mom cook every night.
Chubby fingers!
After chasing Liam around for a while it was Olivia's turn :) I love all the little baby pieces!
She was a great sleeper!
Cute story: The whole time I was taking Olivia's photos Liam was hanging around watching, chatting me up, and loving on his little sister. He didn't quite understand what I was doing, but it was all very interesting to him.
After a little while he decided that since I had a bunch of 'tools' that he wasn't allowed to touch and I was paying a lot of attention to the baby, I must be a doctor. From then on he would say things like, "Thank you, Doctor!" and when I left he yelled, "See ya, Doctor!"
SO CUTE!
Olivia decided to wake up for a bit to see what was going on...
Olivia's headband is pretty ridiculously cute, huh? Her mom made it! I told her I wanted an adult one and that she should sell them on Etsy :)
I think this is my favorite of the day :)
Mom jumped in for a few too! I love that :)
Thanks for looking! Have a great day :)
(I'd love to hear from you)

Hello! Happy weekend :)
Today I have a couple ridiculously cute little guys to show off! Meet Ben and Noah...
They were so content to cuddle with each other :)
I'm soooooo glad they slept! I've never done a newborn shoot with twins... to be honest I was nervous about getting them both on the same page.
Loooove little baby details :)
This is my all time favorite of the day... twins are so much fun to photograph!
Of course, I had to get some photos of the first child too :)
Mom and Dad got to be in a few photos too...
It was so interesting to watch them take care of the boys. I was super impressed by their teamwork... having twins is no easy feat!
Thanks for looking! Have a great weekend!

Baby Anthem is almost here and his parents couldn't be any happier! There's just something so amazing about photographing two people right before they meet their first child... I'm always so happy to capture all the excitement and anticipation with my camera.
Here are a few of my favorites from Christine and Jeramy's photo shoot... as always, thanks for looking!
There's the little guy!
After taking photos at their house we high tailed it to a nearby park to catch the beautiful light... these are all my favorites of the day :)
They're so damn cute together! 
The light... ahhh! I love it! 
They laugh a lot... I like that :)
One of my favorites... 
Christine... seriously... you're one pretty lady.
Another favorite... I love how they can have fun and laugh together and then have sweet moments like this...
And that's all for now! Keep an eye out for Anthem's photos next month :)

Hans and Christina had a small, intimate wedding at one of the prettiest venues I've worked at... their home. All their best friends and family came out to celebrate with the happy couple as they finally tied the knot with a perfect heartfelt ceremony and a super fun reception.
Here are a few of my favorites of the day... thanks for looking!
I love all the teamwork that goes into getting the bride dressed :)
One of my favorites of the day... I love the contrast and beautiful texture on Christina's dress!
All the lovely ladies at the hotel before heading over to Christina's house...
The ceremony was just perfect... short and sweet, but full of emotion.
Afterwards we got away from the hustle and bustle of the house and found this amazing little spot behind their neighbor's place. I love the light and the textures!
Christina... you sure are pretty!
Another favorite!
The shiny stuff:
And last, but not least... their first dance :)

Amanda! You are just SO crazy talented. When I see your beautiful photos, it's like seeing the inside of my heart. You capture the little moments I see as a Mother and turn them into visual memories I can cherish for a lifetime! These pictures could not be any sweeter. We all enjoyed our time with "Dr. Amanda!"
