Baby Brooks, Newborn Session

We photographed Taylor and Chad’s wedding a few years ago, and I was so excited for them when Taylor told me they were expecting! Baby Brooks made his appearance last Fall, and was such a cute little guy. He was so focused for his age, and would look straight at the camera when he was awake. But he didn’t stay awake for long, and we got some super sweet sleepy images of him, too! We were wondering what color his hair was going to turn out to be, because we could definitely see some red in it in certain lighting, so I am excited to see him at their next milestone session and find out!

Welcome to the world, baby Brooks!

Baby Evy + Generation Portraits

Our niece, baby Evy, had a few extra familiar faces for her four month session! Her momma asked if we could do a few four generation photos with Evy, her mom, her grandma (LaLa), and her great-grandmother Evy (her namesake!) I loved the idea, so we took advantage of the sunshine outside and took some pictures in Grandma Evy’s backyard. It was a bit chilly that day so we were only outside for a few minutes, but we were able to get some sweet pictures of these sweet ladies all together.

Big brother Esau wanted to see what was going on! Though he was too busy seeing everyone at Grandma’s house to sit still with baby sister, I loved this mischievous expression so I had to include it. :)

Lyla & Family

I worked with this little family for Lyla’s newborn session and another milestone, and it was so great to see them again for this session! Lyla has definitely grown up over the past few years, but she is still as adorable as she was before. Though she may have made us work a bit harder to get those sweet smiles this time, we got them, and that is what counts. ;) I was never one to like being the center of attention when I was young, so when we work with little ones who seem hesitant to be in front of the camera, I take things slow and do my best to make them feel comfortable before we start trying to pose everyone. If we can make them forget about the camera for just a second, that is when we can get those natural, sweet smiles. :)
