Erin and Brandon are so sweet and I couldnt be happier for them having a baby. I met up with them a few weeks ago and Erin was 36 weeks. She’s now more pregnant than I was when I had little Jack. They got pregnant only two weeks after I shot their wedding in October! So if you follow the blog a lot you might recognize them. Little Sophia is expected to make her entrance into the world at the beginning of August. Though they think it would be funny if she actually went into labor tomorrow exactly 9 months since they were wed. We met up at The Leaning Tree for their session. Their wedding reception was held there but we did all of the formals at the ceremony site so I thought it may be nice to do some photos there. It was a beautiful but hot day. Erin was a trooper in the heat.. well actually we were all troopers even Jack tagged along on this one ;)

















Yay you two! I cant wait to hear the news of Sophia’s birth!

There’s a new baby girl in town and she is a doll. I had the joy of getting to spend a few hours with her last week and she was an absolute dream to photograph. She is practically perfect in every way.

Im a mom! Its awesome. He is awesome and the greatest little model one could ever hope for. Its been a little hard to keep up with his photos but Im doing my best (along with keeping up with everyone elses’.) Here are a few of my favorites since he was born.

I find it quite funny that his helmet needs to be inspected again on my due date. :) 8May.
and I guess technically he’s the 5th FNG to the squadron but whatevs.. ;)
This is also another shot Ive been wanting to try but it never happens. He was all about not sleeping this morning which is good. Means he’ll sleep tonight right ? ;)
Happy 2 weeks buddy bear!
Jillian | Ten days new!
Monday, December 13th, 2010In preparation for my own little one on the way I am offering a few select complimentary newborn sessions. So if you happen to know anyone expecting from now until the end of February send them my way. :)
Baby Jillian is one of those lucky sessions. She took a while to get to sleep as she just wanted to see what was going on. So until she was ready for her photoshoot I had a little fun with her brother :) He definitely made it ok for me to have a little boy. So stinkin’ cute!
His Mama had kissed him on the cheek :)

Their first family photo being the four or them. Big brother was super stoked to be holding his tiny sister!
Jillian has the sweetest lips ever. I have top lip envy.


Goodnight Moon is a vintage from her dads collection of baby photos. Mr bunny is her brothers. I always love the parents ideas. I would have never thought to use a book as a backdrop.
She looks like a bunny here :)



Thank you both so much for letting me come in and meet your new little one. She is so special!

Laila is ten days old! She’s still just as cute as she was when she popped out though!

While mom was changing I got to spend some time with dad. I’m a big fan of both his tattoos and hers so obviously I wanted to give them a little showcase too.




I wish her eyes had been open here. She also has pretty blue eyes.


She’s a cutie. Thanks for having me over to take her photos!
