So many sweet Mamas and their babies came to the 2015 Limited Edition Spring Minis with Little Apple Styles! We were a little nervous about the rain that morning (Ok, I was super nervous!) but the rain held off for most of the morning, and the greenhouse + my lovely umbrella hat were perfect even during a little rain. These three were dressed perfectly for a morning in the garden, and were just so happy and full of smiles! This event was only open to 2015 clients, and we have another special event with Little Apple Styles August 1st we start booking Thursday evening! Our last event sold out in one hour. All of the info is shared with the e-mail list so sign up quick if you are not on the list! (Click here to sign up.)

This was our very first Greenhouse mini on April 25th and we were just hoping the rain would stay away. (It did – for most of the sessions!) These two little ones were just so happy and full of personality for this sweet session with their mama. You can see some of the behind the scenes of my facebook and instagram pages. The dads were really great about helping to entertain the little ones – jumping, running sprints, dancing around with all kinds of light up toys! This day definitely took so many people and it was such a beautiful location for our 2015 Limited Edition Spring Event with Little Apple Styles. Thursday we start booking our event August 1st so make sure you are on the e-mail list! The last event sold out in one hour!

According to Mom….

What was your favorite part of the 2015 Limited Edition Client Event? The fantasy aspect. It was so sweet to have a Mom and child session.

What did you think of the flower crowns? I loved the flower crowns…amazing!! What did your little ones think of the new props? They loved them!!!

Tell me about the outfits that you wore to the session. I just tried to match colors.

This mama did such a great job matching all three of them – love the outfits she chose, and the flower crowns Ericka with Little Apple Styles picked for them were just perfect!

I have so many lovely Greenhouse sessions to blog from our 2015 Limited Edition Mommy & Me Event. This event was only open to 2015 Clients. (And we have another special event August 1st we are starting to book Thursday evening (the greenhouse event sold out in one hour!) Sign up for the newsletter for more information!) This location was gorgeous and the event was styled by Little Apple Styles. (and so is our next one! It’s going to be so so cute – I can’t wait!)

According to Mom…

What was your favorite part of the 2015 Limited Edition Event Mini Sessions? It was so much fun to be in the photos with my children!

Was it fun having a stylist at the event and outfit suggestions beforehand? Yes, it really helped me prepare my thoughts ahead of time.

What did you think of the new props? I think Aidan enjoyed them… he loved the bubbles, too! haha!

Tell me about the outfits you wore and why you chose them.  Just a neutral palette of white linen and ecru lace/monogram for the children. I thought it would bring out Aidan’s hair color and and also make them “pop out” with the greenery/flower background. I was going for a “Great Gatsby”/southern look. And I chose the champagne colored chiffon dress for myself to coordinate with their clothes. I wanted it to look very soft.

Were you worried about any parts of the session beforehand? Yes, getting there on time and the kids being happy (due to naps, etc)

What a lovely six months session this was at their home. Their baby girl was just full of giggles and smiles. I love sessions at home documenting where you spend most of your time baby’s first year. And, little ones are just so happy at home. The weather was nice and we were able to take a few photos in their yard, too. I am loving that everything is so green and beautiful now! Yay for spring and summer!

According to Mom…

Tell me a little bit about your family… Lillian- 7 months now and has 2 teeth!
Jonathan- plays soccer, owns a company in Austria, got puked on during photos, was getting fussed at the whole time by his boss during photos.
Caitlin– teaches kindergarten, is better at soccer than husband, life goal to run a marathon…i hate running!

Where was the session located? Our new home!

What was your favorite part of the session? My favorite part was shaking the toys and singing behind Becky and watching Lillian light up! Also, when Lillian puked in Jonathan’s hair. It was pretty funny.

How did you pick out clothes for the session? Jonathan’s shirt was from Vineyard Vine. He wore that to our rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Lillian’s outfit was bought by her Grammie. We picked it because of the smocking and the strips that remind me of my Grandpa Meseck. I picked a neutral Calvin Klein top. I have to buy a whole new wardrobe. Nothing fits!

What are some words of wisdom you have for other Mamas preparing for their session? Jonathan kept telling me, “They are just photos. Everything doesn’t have to be perfect. If you like them great if you don’t we’ll do them again!”

What dreams do you dream for your little one? I wish Lillian to be a strong independent person that is ambitious and goes after whatever she wants. I want her to be happy.

Any of your little one’s favorites that you brought to the session? Lillian loves puffs! This is what she threw up in Jonathan’s hair. She loves the song “Wheels on the Bus” we sang it quite a bit.

This sweet little one was wide awake and full of personality for her newborn portraits. We were able to capture so many adorable wide awake images showing her sweet little personality. We also got a few images of her sweet puppies who were just so easygoing and happy while I was there. I photographed their maternity portraits right after the big snow (see here) We were laughing and stuck in so much mud leftover from all the snow that had fallen! It was great to finally meet their baby girl. Her mama had some pretty things picked out for her and a sentimental blanket which was just perfect for their newborn session at home.

According to Mom…

What was the first thing you thought when you saw your baby for the first time? Amazement. I couldn’t believe that she was finally here. I also thought she was (and still is) the prettiest baby I have ever seen.

What was the best part of having a newborn session at home? It was wonderful having it at home because I didn’t have to stress that I remembered everything or making it on time. You were so patient with us and getting her to go to sleep! It would have been so much more stressful if we were not at home! I also liked that I got some pictures of my dogs and that the background of the pictures was my house. It makes them that much more personal.

How did you prepare the baby for our photoshoot? I fed her. Thats about all that they want!

What would be your advice to someone getting newborn photographs taken? If you want special items in the pictures, lay them out before hand or you will forget something. Also, there is no controlling a newborn so just go with the flow!

Did you have a sentimental item at our session? I had two items in my pictures. The first is the outfit that my husbands mom and sister wore home from the hospital. When we brought her home we dressed her in it, but in all the craziness we didn’t get any good pictures so it was great to get some of her in the outfit. I also wrapped her in the blanket I came home from the hospital with. Now I have a picture of me and her wrapped in the same blanket.

How would you describe your perfect Saturday as a family? Being together. My husband and I work crazy schedules so any day we have off together becomes our Saturday. On nice days, going for a walk (usually at the lake).

Any advice to other families picking our wardrobe? Keep it simple. The main focus is the baby and family so don’t dress yourself or others in things that take away from that.
