I didn’t grow up with a sister (I grew up with a big brother who is totally my hero) but I have been blessed with two wonderful sister-in-laws. Amy (who is married to my brother) and Alex (who is married to Michael’s brother) have both become dear friends of mine who I feel like I could call anytime for advice or encouragement. I am so thankful for both of them. I was thrilled to be able to capture Patrick and Alex’s little one’s birth day. She is just too beautiful and I am so a proud auntie! This is the second birth session I have photographed this month and I just love it. A new baby is truly a miracle and how precious to capture their first moments.(When I finished editing the photos and put their slideshow together, I bawled as I watched it. What a special day!) I’m happy to announce that I will be accepting a limited number of birth sessions this year. More information soon on pricing/time. Birth sessions will include meeting the siblings/pictures with grandparents an hour or two after the baby is born.

Goals for August:

*Organize and finalize birth photography pricing and information
*One of my goals for this year is to organize more! Part of this is I need to declutter.
My goals this month for decluttering..
*Participate in this Consignment Sale this month! You can see pictures from their last sale here.I have already started getting things together for the sale, and I’m super excited about it!
*Sell a few things on craigslist. I have never done this before but there are a few things in the garage that need to go!
*Catch up on my 52 Week Project. It’s been a busy fun month! I need to catch up on my project – lots of cute pictures to share!
My first Friends & Family Event has been really fun and I look forward to coming up with another fun idea for next year!

Can’t believe it’s been a whole year since her newborn portraits! We took pictures at Montague Lake where she is going to have her first birthday party.I had never been to Montague Lake before – loved the light and the pier.  It started storming during our session at the lake so we had to reschedule and we also took some pictures at her house. I love the pictures with her mommy and daddy – just so sweet! Oh, and her mom makes super cool jewelry. Check out her Facebook page and etsy shop!

I just love everything about this session – it was truly an adventure. We had fun with their favorite toys/books, they played in their playhouse, we splashed in the creek, the swing, and then of course, the tractor! It could not have been more fun!

Remember this sweet family? They were waiting to find out if they were having a little boy or girl, and it’s a girl! Their little one has arrived, and she is just beautiful! Her big brother thought so too! I really enjoyed capturing the first days with their sweet girl!

Remember Bryson? I can’t believe he’s already 7 months!  He was just so happy and full of smiles during his session. He loved when his mommy sang to him and just smiled and giggled at her. He is just precious and I look forward to taking more pictures of him this fall!
