Beautiful Isadora, Izzy to her family, was such a trooper at her session. We started off with a warm afternoon which turned cold and breezy and still Izzy was such a great sport. This baby girl’s eye lashes should have their own zip code! She’s such a beauty and has grown so much from her newborn session.
Look how much Izzy’s grown!
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!
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:
Little Miss Julia, with her cherubic face and baby doll lips… such a beauty she is. We’ve been privileged to shoot her newborn and 6 month portraits as well, and always enjoy our time with her. On this day, we got to see her on her actual birthday.
Happy birthday, Julia!
Here are some of our favorites from her first birthday session:
Sweet, tiny little Caleb. He surprised his family with an early Christmas arrival – best Christmas gift ever! We joked that he just didn’t want to miss the holidays. Caleb was such a good little sleeper, and perfectly milk drunk and bendy – at about 6 pounds. He came in to the studio a few days before his due date.
Introducing Caleb:
