Jenna and Tom and their growing family are my favs. I met them years ago and have had the chance to do some fun family photos with them since. We met for their first maternity and newborn and now with their second! They now have a little boy and a sweet girl! I love following along on Instagram. It is awesome to be able to watch these babies grow up. Time flies and nothing makes time go by faster than seeing children grow. Every time I think I am still a youngster I take a peek at a child who was just a baby a blink ago.

Jenna and Tom are cool parents. They love their kids so much. Whenever we get together for another session, we talk kids and life and catch up on all the new things. I love love love seeing my families again and again. Honestly, I know I have said this before, it is heartwarming. We get this awesome opportunity to build a relationship from maternity to newborn and beyond. I cannot think all these beautiful families for coming back to me over the years. It makes me so happy!

Choosing a location for Maternity photos

When my young families have children, I like to find a location that has some room for play. The littlest members of the family (to include sweet pups) like to run and frolic and get their energy out. I loved this little gem, perfect for kids and perfect for photos. When the kids can play everyone is happier! Happy kids happy life 🙂 A little mud and some pretty skies made this session phenomenal. We ran around and chased Nolan and little Woody the dog, session and exercise in one quick hour 🙂

Congrats to Jenna and Tom and their sweet boy, Nolan, on the arrival of their newest little family member!

Maternity and Newborn Photography

Becky and Max have called me for maternity and newborn photos for both of their gorgeous children. I met Becky through one of my sisters, and she has been a favorite of mine to photograph over the years. Becky has a lightness in her spirit. She laughs so much. It is so good for the soul to be around folks like her. Max is hilarious. Like, really, really funny. His sharp wit and love for his wife make him a really awesome guy. After they had their first son they really settled into parenthood. Their home is forever full of toys, warmth, and Becky’s growing plant collection.

Having the same photographer shoot your maternity and newborn session is part of the fun. I get a chance to really bond with you over your belly and even more over your baby. We talk about motherhood and how hard times can be. We celebrate the successes of breastfeeding, commiserate over bottle-fed babies that refuse to take a bottle, and cry over how beautifully stressful and simple and complicated and chaotic life is with a newborn.

This family is such a good example of how much my heart can grow. Every session we have together is another opportunity for us to connect. At the end of the day it is really about connection and family. Photographing families as they start their journeys together, be it marriage or maternity, reminds me how lucky I am to be here on this earth. These sessions remind me of how lucky I am to do what I do.

Congrats to this family on their new addition (a perfect baby girl) and their growing family! I wish you all the best in your new family of four! Thank you so much for all of the sessions, you know I love watching these babies grow up!
