CAUTION:  DIVA IN TRAINING  (get a load of that pouty face!!!!)

I always, ALWAYS look forward to my sessions with Lana.  For one, I love catching up with mom and dad.  They make their home in Florida (ahhh…jealous!) and when they return to Indiana for a visit, I feel lucky that they make time in their schedule to see me :)  Heather is a detail girl and always has the cutest outfits and accessories for Lana and the whole family!  And Lana is always so cooperative and content…she reminds me a lot of how my Evie was at that age…about 10 years ago.  WOW.  I can’t believe I just typed that.  Evie has changed a lot in that time ;)

Oh my goodness gracious…SUCH a cutie!!!!!!

I look at this last image and laugh thinking how much Lana changed from this session to the next one we did with her a couple of months ago in Savannah, Georgia.  At four months, we literally worked her so hard she willingly fell asleep in an open field.  Fast forward four more months and Lana was going strong the entire time to the point I was exhausted from chasing after her!  More to come on that soon!

Doesn’t she just look like a little doll?!  It has been so fun to photograph Grace over the past year…she has already turned one and that post will follow but I had to catch you up on her earlier sessions first!   We’ve taken each of Grace’s sessions at her home which has the most beautiful light!  I always like to try and so some shots outside but the timing of Grace’s sessions made it a little more difficult to do so.  It was either too chilly or damp…and then when we got a day that we deemed tolerable we found that Grace HATED being outside!  We tried her everywhere and the unfamiliar yard was just too much for her then ;)

Grace’s mom always chooses the cutest outfits for Grace…very girly but not overwhelming.  And pink is most definitely Grace’s color!

Is there anything cuter on a little girl than ruffles on the tush ;)

At nine months, Grace had become more active  and was crawling everywhere!  I love noticing the changes in their actions each time I see them.  Grace was so much more outgoing and playful.   She was also donning more pink ruffles and this time added some girly pearls to complete her ensemble!

Can’t wait to share her one year session…….and it just so happens we got some of her outside!!!  Stay tuned :)

killian is one!

I think I have THE cutest nephews that ever existed.  They are my middle brother’s two boys and they could not be more different.  While big brother Rogan is a tornado that literally runs from one thing to another, this younger version is anything but.  Killian is quiet.  He is thoughtful.  He’s content and reserved.  But don’t let that fool you…he still has the Curry temper ;)  I love that he’s a snuggler since Rogan was not….from the day he was born, I have made it a goal to get Killian into climbing into my lap and taking a nap with me.  Is there anything better than a kid falling asleep in your arms?!  Killian and I have snuggled many afternoons on the couch while the rest of the family carried on without us :)  It’s been a joke that even with out snuggles, Killian would rather go to anyone else but Aunt Erin!  I’m not sure why but I swear, he picks Tim over me every time!  Now that he’s one, I’m thinking I’ll have to start bribing him for our naps!

Killin celebrated his birthday in January and we waited until February for it to warm up a bit to snag a few images outside.  Who knew if we had waited just a few more weeks, he could have been running around in shorts for his pictures!!!  He was just figuring out how to stand but had no desire yet to walk.  I’m actually wondering how that may change as he learns to keep up with his big brother!  I am in love with his chubby little legs and big blue eyes…and get a load of those incredible lashes!!!!

Much love to our sweet little Killian :)  Can’t wait to see all the new things you will learn and show us in the next year!
