My dear friend April is having a baby any day now. For her Maternity session we went back to the same spot that I had photographed her and John’s engagement session years ago. I would love nothing more than to one day head back to her father’s farm land to photograph this new baby girl. Check out just some of my favorites from this session!

I never feel more blessed than when I get the chance to photograph and document some of life’s big events for my best friends! What feels like just yesterday (which was really over a year ago now!) I photographed one of my best friends Maternity Session. Check out how stunning this couple is as they were waiting for baby Hill to arrive!

And now one year later we had the BEST time photographing sweet Hill’s one year session! Check out just some of my favorites from this session!

Thanks Spears family for making my work feel like fun and for being the best friends ever!

My Addison Webb at our Newborn Session…

And now this beautiful child one way too quick year later at her Twelve Month Portrait Session!

The Webb’s are a very special ABP client. I photographed Ursula and Jason’s engagement portraits, Ursula’s bridal portraits, and then they gave me the greatest gift of all, they welcomed me into their home (and beyond) every three months to  document Miss Addison’s very special first year. Webb family you know how much I have enjoyed each and every time I get to spend with you. Thank you for a fabulous first year and a lifetime of fun memories. Cheers until our next adventure together!

How could this face not make you come alive and click click away! This was Mr. Sweet Pea Sanders first session in our First Year of Sessions. And yes he stole my heart! Check out some of my favorites!

Thanks Strickland Family for being so adorable and having so much fun on a cold and dark summer morning! Sanders smile made the day feel warm and sunny! Can’t wait for our next session!
