Award-Winning Des Moines Iowa Photographers: Specializing in newborn, baby, children and their families | Senior Portraits | Family Portraits
9 lb 6 oz of absolute baby boy perfection. This boy had rolls in all the right places, the best cheeks, and was dreamy in the studio. 22 months ago, I got to photograph big brother and it’s such a privilege to get to be part of this growing family’s memories.
This family is Oklahoma-bound. I am going to miss those boys, but congratulations are in order: Happy Graduation!!
Khloe is such a beautiful baby, with her almost-red strawberry blond hair and sweet porcelain skin. Khloe was a joy to have in the studio. She had a little bit of travel time to get to the studio, and we were worried what that might do for her sleeping schedule – but she was wonderful. We were able to get lots of set ups with Khloe and loved her cheeks and rolls.
Introducing Khloe May:
I can’t believe it’s been a year since Alexis’s newborn session. With her cheruby blond curls and sweet little smile – Alexis is such a gorgeous baby. It’s always such a privilege to watch these babies grow up in front on my lens. My first session with Alexis was back when she was just an adorable baby bump!
Look how much Alexis has grown… Happy birthday, baby girl!
This baby boy seriously has the longest, most gorgeous eye lashes. I could photograph them all day long. He also has big brown eyes, curly toes, and a flirty smile. He is a joy to have in the studio. We enjoyed seeing how much he’s grown since he was 6 months old.
Happy 1st birthday, Carter!
This precious boy, who is so very loved, gave his family a scare with a little NICU stay. We are so happy that he is home and healthy, and as you can see – an absolutely beautiful baby boy. He is a little older than our typical newborn window, but came just a couple days after his homecoming. And he looked right at the camera! Love when those new babies make eye contact with the camera.
Introducing Grady…
Beautiful Finley Jo – with her big, inquisitive eyes and sweet little scrunchy smile, and that tongue that she sticks out when she giggles. She is all things girly and feminine and sweet. We love having her in the studio. It’s been such a privilege watching her grow!
Here is 8-month-old Finley…
Look at that hair! Aiden had such a perfect head of hair and sweet little features. And what a great little sleeper he is – letting us get so many beautiful setups and not even a peep when his big sister came in for a couple. Aren’t they sweet together?
Introducing Aiden Joshua:
It was supposed to be a perfect, warm, October evening – at the peak of fall color for Caden’s 4-month-old session. Instead, it was an unseasonable 48 degrees with a wicked, bitter-cold wind. So although he has the best background colors ever – he was sooo not feeling it that session. But you shoulda seen the Baby Sperrys he was rockin’. ;) (His family, btw, rocked the session anyway!) So Caden is back for his 8-month-old session, and it was perfection. He has the perfect rolls and squishy baby laughs, and 2 itty bitty little teeth. And I cranked the heat in the baby room, so we were comfy!
Oh Caden… when you get super mobile, I am going to miss those baby rolls and elbow dimples. And I know it won’t be long before you’re running around with your big brother.
Caden, 8 months old:
