Babies, babies, babies! They’re everywhere and they are making me hungry for a little chubby snugglefest. (Have I ever mentioned how NOT into snuggling Lauren is?) Lukas just brings out the need for baby in me. He is ADORABLE, and oh so holdable. He is just a little ball of love and cuteness, and it’s just impossible to not want that around you. Karlene and Shawn brought their little man into the studio to rock some three month portraits. Can I just say this boy has personality PLUS! He’s 3 months old and he’s a ham! I love him.

We worked in some quick family pictures as well. I hope Karlene and Shawn will forgive me for putting these images up, but I just love how cute EVERYONE is in these pictures. I think we can see where Luke gets some of that amazing personality of his. He sure is one lucky guy to have such cool parents who like him ever so much.

A big thank you to Shawn, Karlene and Lukas for a great session! I love that we’re getting together every three months to document the growth of this little(ish) man. Check out their slideshow below or HERE for more sweet images from an awesome shoot!

My cute baby girl is feeling VERY under the weather…. AGAIN! It seems like this winter has been one fever and cold after another. Lauren just got over a serious case of the sniffles, and then on Sunday developed a fever out of no where. She doesn’t seem to have an ear infection, but she has fever blisters all in her mouth and it is just so sad! Having a sick baby is the worst. My mom came over for a little while this morning to take care of her while I ran some errands, but she had to leave when my dad called to inform us he’d taken a tumble down some stairs and broken his pinkey finger. So, off my mom rushed from a fevered baby to a broken husband. And I am here with my poor girl. She is finally napping, but her fever just won’t stay gone for longer than a few hours. I’m sure if this pursists tomorrow we’ll have to make our way to her pediatrician. In the meantime, there are Popsicles and Pedialite on the dinner menu and LOTS of “Yo Gabba Gabba” on the television.

(PS… this image is from a studio shoot we did last week… I’m editing the images and seeing my cute girl so happy and well is just enough to make me weep!)

I warned you guys that a lot of albums would be coming your way, and it was no joke! I’m so excited about all the beautiful albums we’ve been creating over here. Here’s the first one of this week.

Well, here is a blast from the past! Alyssa and Tim just celebrated their one year anniversary last month, and in honor of that decided to get a wedding album! I was so excited to get to work with their images again. Alyssa and Tim are just one heck of a beautiful couple, with a wonderful love story that just melted me the first time we met. It was a joy to go back over the images we created with them on their wedding day. The weather was so perfect, and the December light is always so beautiful. It was a WONDERFUL day. Thank you to Alyssa and Tim for being such a delight to work with. I hope you both love this album as much as I do!

Check out the slideshow HERE or in the box below.

Last week my older brother Joe brought his adoreable family over to the studio for a portrait session. They recently brought a cute little baby boy home, so this was their first family portrait with Keaton. Keaton is the lucky brother of two older sisters, Megan and Marin. Really, he’s only a few weeks old so he doesn’t know how good he has it to have two older sisters who just adore him. Seriously though, it’s really hard for me to believe sometimes that my brother has three kids! But at least they are all really, really cute kids. I mean look at these cuties!

Thanks to Joe, Wendy, Megan, Marin and Keaton for such a fun session! I love that we got to take these pictures of your family! I can’t wait to do more and more. Check out their slideshow HERE or in the window below for more great images of some of my most favorite people ever!
