Miss Brenna is full of spunk and personality, as you can see :)  She has no problem keeping up with her big sister and soaking up everything Addy teaches her!  At the time of her one year session, she wasn’t yet walking but I’m sure she’s running circles around everyone now which will make for an interesting summer!  There was quite a chill in the air when we shot these, so we split out time with a few outdoors then moving inside to play a little dress up!

Such sweet little girls!  Thank you for the enjoyable afternoon…we’ve almost outgrown dress up at our house so it was fun to go back ;)

When I started my Weeds Program last year, I had no idea that there had been a baby boom in the area!  I had a number of gorgeous kids enter my life all within weeks of each other!   I knew this Spring would be bittersweet for a lot of their parents and a lot of our sessions began with, “I cannot believe how fast this year has gone.”  Should I have warned them it only gets faster?!

Little Blake celebrated his first birthday last month and as I predicted at his 9 month session, gave me a run for my money!  I think Blake’s feet were running before he ever hit the ground!  I thought it best to let him run the show and along with his mom and dad, I literally followed where he lead (except of course when he was headed onto the road!).

The image above on the right says it all….he never stops ;)

A quick change before heading to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.  The tears were unexpected…Blake was knee deep in grass and he was mad that he couldn’t run in it ;)

Blakers, I have loved every minute with you!  So sad to see you grow so quickly and yet so glad I’ve been able to watch as you learned to roll, sit, crawl and now run away from me!  Luke and Lauri, he is one special little boy.  Thanks for sharing him with me :)

These two are a dream to photograph.  Their body language screams out how in love they are and I am very  much looking forward to photographing their wedding at the end of the month!

We worked around an incoming thunderstorm for their late afternoon session, finding that the dark sky gave us some unique location possibilities that I don’t always get.  And with their love oozing from every pore, they made every place look so warm.  Here are  few favorites:

Nothing better than genuine laughter caught on camera :)

Kiri is stunning with the prettiest complexion…can’t wait to see her in all her bridal glory!

Kiri and Bryan, this has been a long time coming and I couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of it!  I’ll be seeing you soon!
