a few favorites from the gallery of the gorgeous {h family} i shot last fall…can’t you just feel the love!?

Well, slap my face. I finally took some decent pictures of my precious Cayden. In the past, Cades has been, well, um, less than cooperative. This was a whole new world! Cades is such a precious, precocious, intelligent, funny, & sensitive kid. I feel like these images wrap him up. We had a blast tooling around Old Mandeville & the Lakefront together today. Yay Cayden!

I FINALLY got this little angel in front of my camera. Little Chase made his way into this world in quite a dramatic & untimely fashion in mid June…six weeks early.  As a result, this precious man spent some time in the NICU and worried his poor mama to death. We’re all so happy to finally have him home. His dramatic entrance was totally out of character for this content baby. Chase is one of two newborns I’ve ever photographed that only woke up once, which was made even more extraordinary by the moving ruckus his big brother, Trey was. We finally nailed big T down long enough to capture some sweet shots of two gorgeous boys. Chase is perfect. I’m so excited to watch him grow amidst his beautiful family that I love so much.

There’s not too many things that delight me more than being able to photograph the families of my childhood friends. I’ve know both Stacey & Blake since I was a wee one and I couldn’t have been happier to meet thier little man, Brycen. We had an amazing time together and managed to sneak off an awesome session before the bottom fell out. B-Man is a huge Thomas the Train fan, so this railroad trestle was just amazing to him! He is a totally hilarious and precocious child, and lucky for me, he now has a HUGE crush on me. It’s pretty serious! =) He even gave me one of his Brycen original canvas paintings for my office. I had a great time with this family and am so glad to have them back in my life.
