Baby Conley Jane, Three Month Session

Little Conley Jane did such a good job at her three month session! She wasn’t quite excited about belly time just yet, but she gave us lots of sweet expressions and showed off her new hand and feet coordination skills. :) She fell asleep before I got there so we let her get a little bit of her nap out in the sweet bassinet that had. It’s not everyday I get to photograph a sleeping baby at a three-month-old session! She woke up after a few minutes and stayed awake long enough to see what was going on, before falling back to sleep on her mom and dad for the parent shots. I think she likes cuddling with them a little bit. :) Then she awoke and was up for good, and gave us some sweet baby smiles and giggles! She is just the cutest little thing. It’s crazy how fast she has grown from the newborn session, and we still have a few more milestones to go before her one year photos!

Baby Brooks, One Year Session

I love this family so much! It is hard to believe their second baby is now closer to a toddler than a newborn. Time has truly flown by since little Brooks was born! (And for that matter, big sister Sailor, too!)
For his one year session it was cold and rainy outside so we stayed nice and cozy in their home. After a few parent and sibling shots, Brooks and Sailor had fun picking out their favorite ornaments on the Christmas tree and then taking them off and relocating them elsewhere in the branches. :) Then it was finally time for cake! Brooks wasn’t quite into making a mess of things at first, but eventually he decided the chocolate cake and frosting were pretty good, so he dug in a bit. Sailor was happy when it was over, because she got her piece then! She didn’t mind that it was a bit messier at that point haha.

Happy first year baby Brooks!

Baby Gunnar, Newborn Session

It was such a joy to photograph Lauren and Justin’s wedding just a few years ago, and when she emailed me last Fall to tell me they were pregnant and would need newborn pictures soon, I was so excited for them! These two are so easy-going and cheerful, and I knew they would make fantastic parents.

Though I heard little Gunnar wasn’t sleeping so well at night (hopefully that has changed since he was a newborn!) he was such a champ for his newborn session. He slept deeply until he got hungry, and then after his little belly was full he slept some more. :) He did finally wake up by the end of the session, but he was so calm we were able to keep on going with some sweet photos of him under their Christmas tree. Whether he sleeps through the night yet or not, I know he is such a gift that Lauren and Justin cherish with all their hearts— even when they have to make their coffee extra strong in the morning. :)

Welcome to the world, baby Gunnar!
