I have been so busy over the last year that I rarely have time to shoot images of my sweet babies. They are, after all, why I began doing this. So with a little coaxing to slow things down-  my husband and I took an evening to take our children out for some sweet, sun drenched portraits.  Now my dreams of many scene set ups and clothing changes didn’t happen, but what we did get in our fifteen minute window of beautiful light was perfection. This year I was less worried about making my kids pose and smile- then getting mad when they don’t…yikes- and more about enjoying our time together. So with lollipop stained faces and dirt covered jeans I present to you my perfect works of art………my children!

Let the holidays begin!

mission impossible. Harmony Children’s Photographer

What an amazing family. I am blown away week after week with such beautiful-loving-kind-fun clients. These two little angels were just that-angels! The newest addition was the most smiley two month old I have ever shot! She was giggly and perfect in every way. Then there was big sister…….my helper and playmate. She lovingly introduced her sister- showed me around her beautiful home. i learned that she loves cookies, Dora, playing outside, and jumping on her bed ; – )

Enjoy these sweet girls!

I am amazed week after week at the amazing families I have the opportunity to shoot. I just love watching the curiosity of little boys unravel. Imagination and energy are two things I hope they both hold on too. Soon this family of four will be growing again. They are expecting another little guy in just a few short months and mom couldn’t be more beautiful…she was truly glowing   : – )

Enjoy your sneak peek…………………….

Going into this session I knew I was headed for mission impossible…three kiddos under 5- one being a newborn! I knew in my head what I wanted to give to this family now the task of going about it was upon me ; – )

They were so full of life- I know why kids are just so special. The little girl reminded me so much of one of my favorite literary characters….. Eloise. She was spunky, fun, and soooooo adorable! Then the big brother was so sweet- he lovingly helped us through the session. His soul was quiet and beautiful. The newest addition was just as amazing as the other two.  Very much at ease- he had a peace about him that was so pure. Ohhh, how I love new life!

So, world meet your newest member………………………
