My Crazy Kid!!

Mark & I absolutely LOVE the 1 year old stage so far. Mia just cracks us up constantly...she has so much personality! Here is a little video we captured of her with her auntie Brit just before bathtime...LOVING herself some Mia in the mirror.

Married Session ~ Casey & Carly

Another FAVORITE couple of Mark's and mine.... and a super fun fashion forward type of married shoot. I saw on another photographer's blog some fun married poses done at a laundry mat, and was so happy when Casey & Carly agreed to let me try them out on them! I LOVE how they turned out.... one of my very favorite shoots to date. Here are some of my favorites from their session!

the Verhoevens

Being some of Mark's & my VERY best friends, it's needless to say that I was very excited for the opportunity to take some family shots of Landon Brooke & Zeke. They are such a beautiful family - on so many levels. I'm sure I speak on behalf of our entire group of friends (and many others) when I say that Landon & Brooke are both such solid Christian leaders in our lives, and we look up to them. They are even more in love today than they were 5+ years ago when they said their "I do's." And I could not possibly love little Zman more! He is so incredibly easy going!! I'm so excited that he & Mia will get to grow up together . Here are a few favorites from their photo session at El Dorado park!!

Samantha & Elizabeth

Another adorable little family I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to shoot. Sam did GREAT ~ she's a little ham! Reminded me very much of my niece, Kaylie in that I think she may be one of those born to be in front of a camera!! And Elizabeth is at one of my VERY favorite ages to shoot. She just sat very easily & content & stared right into the lense! Here are a few of my favorites from their session at El Dorado Park!

Annika~Grant~Gavin

What an ADORABLE family! One of my quickest sessions yet - because the kids just cooperated SO well & were so easy to shoot! I earned auntie points with a different nephew, Austin, this time around because I took pics of his school friend, Annika =) Enjoy a few of my favorites from their session at El Dorado Park:

Hendrick

This little 2 year old reminded me SO much of my nephew, Lucas. SO much excitement & energy contained in such a little guy!! He was so much fun to shoot - and it helped a ton that he found his dad to be hilarious! =) Daddy was in charge of getting the giggles out of him so I could capture some of those adorable moments. He is going to be a fantastic big brother & keep his little sis/bro on his or her toes!! My nephew, Colin, found it especially cool that I took pictures of his teacher's son. (I think I earned some "auntie points" for this one!) =) Enjoy a few of my favorites from our session:
