Madden {fall mini}

I can't even believe that the 6 month milestone is creeping up on this sweet girl. It seems just like yesterday that I met her mother for her maternity session, then finally meeting this sweet angel for her newborn session. (who now I call my lemon baby). Those who follow my page will know which images I am speaking of. :) Well I am so happy to say that I will get to see this sweet girl yet again very soon and I am so excited for that! 

Marin Family

This little family I have only photographed twice however... I get to know my kiddos pretty quickly during sessions. I have come to the conclusion that miss Ellie loves the spotlight. How do I know this??? Well she only seems to want to smile when she is the ONLY one in the picture! hehe This photographer doesn't mind her hogging all of my time either! I love her sweet little face and never get tired of it, even when she doesn't want to smile she is still so adorable I can't help but click away! :) 

Melinda & Family

Do you ever meet a family that you could see yourself fitting right in? This family is one of those for me. Immediately drawn in with their warm welcoming smiles I was completely comfortable within minutes of being around them. Melinda, the star of this session, was just glowing the whole evening. Her uplifting spirit was contagious and I couldn't help but tell her she was beautiful a million times. :) She shined like a star! 
I say it over and over, and it never gets old, I feel so completely blessed to do what I do and meet amazing families like this one. I feel so honored to be just a very small part of their journey through life and I look forward to capturing lasting memories over and over, year after year. :)
