Wind Family // Life Is Beautiful Session

Friends as much as I love shooting outdoors, there is a time and place for indoor photos! For instance when a adorable baby boy joins your family in December.

We met the Winds early last year and had the privilege of turning there beautiful home into a photo studio for the morning to capture some newborn and family portraits. We loved this session, because of how relaxed it was...baby spits up all over Dads shirt? No problem, he can just run upstairs and grab a new one! Kiddos need a snack break? The kitchen is across the hall! 

So here they are, the six Winds with some very sweet little personalities & loads of cuteness!!!

Baby Ellie // Life Is Beautiful Session

So I'm just warning you, I have photographed some seriously cute babies recently. And there are serious perks to shooting newborns, not only are your clients completely adorable, but you also get to cuddle the baby between takes... especially when she's family. Yes, I'm related to this little sweetheart and her amazing parents! Micah is my first cousin and it's been so special to capture some big milestones for them over the past few years. First engagement photos after he asked Lorelei to marry him, then their wedding and now baby photos!!! I love watching this family grow and all you have to do it look at the photos to know how very happy they are to be a family of three!

If one feels the need of something grand, something infinite,
something that makes one feel aware of God,
one need not go far to find it.
I think that I see something deeper,
more infinite, more eternal than the ocean
in the expression of the eyes of a little baby
-Vincent van Gogh

Smith Family // Life is Beautiful Session

All the best things in life are worth waiting for! Babies are definitely high up on the list of "bests".

We've been anticipating the addition of this little one ever since last fall, when we had the privilege meeting this wonderful family and capturing a life is beautiful session for them in the season of anticipation while the leaves were turning orange & yellow.

And now it's spring, and along with green leaves and robins singing, came the arrival of their precious little girl! She couldn't be sweeter, or more loved by her Mommy, Daddy and big brother! 

I'll never forget this little girls birthday, because it happens to be the same as mine! It was so special to photograph her at just six days old. This family is beautiful and the warm and relaxed atmosphere in their home made for some really sweet and intimate moments.
