Two Families, One Park

I photographed two of my favorite families on the same day last Fall. I typically don’t schedule sessions back-to-back, but with a hectic schedule in the Fall, I make some exceptions so I can accommodate everyone! And since these are dear friends of mine that I’ve been photographing for years, it was such a treat to have them all together! Even though these sessions were in the same park, I wanted them to have a slightly different feel, so I looked for different backdrops to vary things up. Also, the light changed in between sessions and wow, it’s incredible how the same place can look so different in another light. I love them both!

Phoebe - Beautiful, just beautiful! This makes me so excited for fall sessions, loveee the orange. You did an amazing job!

The Lamb Family

Six months ago, Clara was a tiny newborn.  And now look at her!  She has these big, sparkly eyes and a smile that just melts you.  I can’t wait to see what she’s like in another 6 months.

Lucky for me, I have been chosen to document the first year of her life, just like I did for her big sister.  And I couldn’t be more thrilled.  So to get a note like this after Clara’s mom received her order is just icing on the cake:

“You always take the most amazing photos! Words honestly can’t express how happy we are about them and how grateful I am for you. As you might have seen, I uploaded the pictures right away and have received so many compliments. We feel so very fortunate to have such a talented photographer to capture such an important time in Clara (and our) lives. Thanks again for the incredible photos of our family! We love them and will cherish them forever!”

Thank you Lamb family for choosing and trusting me to be your photographer!  Check out their adorable nautical theme outfits!

The Johnson Family

I’ve been photographing the Johnson family from the very beginning, before their oldest son was even born. It has been such a privilege and joy to watch their family grow. Last week, I got a surprise text from Jessica: “Just wanted to let you know that your pictures are the gift that keep on giving. C wanted to see pictures of me pregnant with him and of him as a baby so we looked through his photo books. I wish I could send you a video of his giggles, sweet questions and general amazement. It was a super special moment. Thank you for always preserving such special moments in time for me.”

I absolutely melted when I read that. Thank you Jess, for reminding me why I do what I do and why I continue to make sacrifices to keep my photography business going.

Here’s a peek at our session together last Fall.

The Ballard Family

Oh man, has it really been four months since I last blogged?! Crazy fall season transitioned into winter hibernation and poof! Four months went by just like that.  Needless to say, I have a lot of catching up to do… so many fun sessions to share from last Fall.

I’ll start with the amazing Ballard family.  I might be guilty of overusing the word amazing, but in this case, if you’ve ever met the Ballard family, you’d probably agree, they are pretty spectacular people.  Amy is a crazy talented photographer who not only takes beautiful pictures of her clients, but documents her children and every day life in such a real way.  And she raises four young children, while homeschooling them and being an on-the-move military wife, without breaking a sweat.  The one thing she wanted before moving to Germany was to have photos taken of her family, (and her sweet husband obliged) so I couldn’t have been more thrilled when she asked me.  What a treat to spend the morning with this family.

Valerie Lyon - Love, Love, Love these beautiful moments captured for always! Thank you, Mimi, for sharing your talent with these photos I will forever treasure! They make me smile and cry at the same time. Joy!
Grateful!

Olivia

I loved this newborn session. Pretty color palette, pretty people, pretty baby. I thought Olivia was going to be born towards the beginning of September, but she made a late entrance into the world, making everyone that much more anxious to meet her. Her big sister was so sweet with her, it just melted me to see them together!

By the way, one of my favorite photos from the session is the one about halfway down with mom holding baby in nursery near the crib. Notice the other pictures on the wall? Those are of mom and dad as babies. I love the span of generations in that image.

Kristy - Almost six months later and I am still admiring your images daily in our home. Thank you again for making the time to capture our family before and after Olivia made her debut!
