Grace is making her first of many appearances on the blog as she is one of the newest additions to the Weeds Program!  I am delighted to have the opportunity of documenting the first year of her life and am already in love with her dark hair and adorable grin.

Grace’s first session was of course, all about her (no boys allowed).   Here she is at three months old and already sporting a fabulous wardrobe with accessories to match!

It was only a few short weeks later that I returned to the Baker household to photograph the boys!  What a change from Grace’s session!  The boys were all about playing in the yard, exploring and riding their power wheels.  I’m sure a girl would just get in their way ;)

It’s hard not to compare siblings…and I could instantly tell that younger brother Isaac is a bit on the ornery side while Will is more quiet and reserved.  It didn’t take long for Will to open up though and was soon telling me all about their excavation site in the sandbox ;)

Oh my goodness, I could not stop cracking up at these two cruising the yard with their shades on!  They look like the two coolest kids to ever go on safari ;)

And little Grace woke up just in time for a sibling picture.  Those boys sure do love their baby sister…until she starts playing with their toys, right?!  Such a beautiful family, and sweet too.  I got two fist bumps before I could leave making me feel like Will and Isaac might let ME go on the next safari ;)  Can’t wait to see you all again soon for Grace’s six month session!

I was so thrilled to have the opportunity to photograph miss Lana last month during her very first visit to Indiana!  You may remember her mom and dad’s maternity session from earlier this year which you can revisit here.  Heather and Brian make their home in Florida now and shortly after Lana’s arrival, Heather emailed to tell me she just booked a last minute flight back here for a visit and was hoping to get in a session during their stay…um..YES!!!

Miss Lana (pronounced Law-na) had had a busy few days of being introduced to family which means she was a bit off of her regular routine.  And although she wasn’t sure if she was hungry, or tired, or just wanted held, she was still such a happy girl.

I just loved her bright eyes and perfect little mouth :)

Heather, I’m so glad you thought to call me and that I could meet your beautiful little girl.  Hope you’re all doing well and that our paths cross again soon!!

Preston has been the sweetest little boy from the first day I met him.  At every session, his smiles are generous and his giggles are contagious!  He celebrated his first birthday this past Spring and we documented the milestone at his Grandma and Grandpa H’s house on the farm.  He was not yet walking then but I’m sure by now he’s running circles around mom and dad!

Dad was so proud to have Preston up on the tractor with him :)  Preston, you are the sweetest little man and I am so thankful to have shared in the first year of your life!
