Holiday { Mini } Sessions

December 1st wrapped up the last of my mini sessions for the year.  Three indoor, three outdoor.  A perfect little mix of cozy and festive inside, paired with that freedom of photographing outdoors that just never gets old. 

I could not have ask for a better day with some of my favorite big + little people. ;)

Just a few favorite frames to share (two of my final outdoor sessions are being kept surprises the holidays)! 

enjoy.

Laine Christine { 18 months } + Mini Family

She's back!  Sweet little Laine, one of my most loyal clients ;).  Newborn, 3-months, 6-months, 12-months and now 18.  WHERE does the time go?  This blue-eyed beauty just keeps getting more and more fun to photograph (not to mention faster and faster)! ;) 

I was fortunate enough to meet with these great family friends at their beautiful new home on an equally gorgeous fall evening (love that perfect glowing light from a setting sun).  This time around we had the whole crew join in for a mini-family session after Laine's photos - handsome big brother Sam, and even sweet Finley (their furry 1st child) made a very patient and well-behaved appearance ;).  

I just love this family and have had the best time capturing their growing girl...

enjoy.

Stella Anastasia { 1 year }

Seriously, prepare yourself for this little beauty. Stella (and her mama) were the recipients of a gift card and recently came in to capture this sweet girl at ONE!  How lucky for me, since Stella was a picture perfect model - tons of great eye contact, giggles and just overall adorableness ;).

We had so much fun playing dress-up with Stella - she can seriously pull off all the ruffles, bows and jewels one can imagine.  In fact, she arrived with a gorgeous set of vintage pearls from a family friend, and Stella knew just what to do with them when the time came.  Such a classic beauty - and such a joy to work with!

enjoy.

Paige Elaine { 1 year }

I am so excited to welcome back little Miss Paige Elaine - she was among the first few newborns I photographed after starting my business almost 18 months ago.  Paige turned one back in September and I'm so glad we were able to sneak her in for a few photos along with a mini family session.  Her parents are just smitten with their girl, and so great to work with (her mama just happens to be my hairstylist too)!

It won't take long to realize what an awesome little girl Paige is from the photos below.  This one is NOT short on personality.  I seriously giggled the majority of her session. A few favorite moments:  

Paige's AMAZING stink eye (we caught a few examples below)...her silly / goofy side, she clearly loves to make others laugh...that perfect wobbly one-year old strut...and of course her loving side, I got some seriously good cuddles when she would wear out from photos. LOVE.

enjoy.
