Smith Family

It’s been awhile since I’ve had a minute to sit down and blog about recent sessions. I know, it’s a super lame excuse, but it is what it is.

Anyway, this past weekend I had the pleasure of meeting with Kayla and Ben and adorable little Liam. I walked up to our location and they were playing with bubble guns! I love when parents take a little extra time before our shoot to do fun things with the kids - it helps set them at ease. We chatted for a bit and then got down to business! Liam initially got a bit nervous and wanted to wander around. I’m 100% on board with this because it helps to do two things: 1. it helps them get to know me, and set them at ease. 2. it gets the wiggles out! Little bodies are meant to move, and it can be hard for kids to sit in one place for too long. I like my sessions to be laid back and fun, so everyone enjoys it (including dad! Ha).

They were just the sweetest parents, Liam was obviously cherished and nurtured by both his parents and it showed in how well behaved he was and how loving he was!

I solemnly swear to continue to update my blog more often - especially since it’s about to be baby season for me! (Not mine, other people’s…haha, I don’t need to start any rumors about myself)

Lillyan

There is nothing sweeter than a newborn. But when they are tiny-tiny premies, ouphf! Just gets you right in the heart. Everything is EXTRA tiny, and EXTRA sweet. 

I had the privilege of doing Miss Lillyan first newborn photos. She's an absolute doll. I arrived and she was wide-eyed and ready for action! This cutie was moving the entire time, mom and grandma worked hard to keep her content and happy while I took the photos. We only managed a few sleeping photos, and they were worth it!

This little girl is going to grow up in a family of love and MUSIC. My favorite thing to do as a parent is to dream for my kids when they are little - what will they accomplish in life? I dream BIG. The sky is the limit and they are a blank canvas. I've started doing the same thing with my tiny clients - what will happen in their lives? Their awesome parents are working hard to make their lives the best they can, so the sky is the limit - will she be a famous singer? Composer? Musician? 

Limitless. That's what is ahead of them. Limitless opportunities.
