Ella.

I am so excited to share these photos of Ella and her parents! Ella is the niece of my best friend from childhood so it was so neat to be able to photograph her. :) Not to mention that she is an absolute doll. I've been super lucky with babies letting me photograph them, but Ella definitely takes the cake! We all could not believe how cooperative she was!

 Most of these portraits were taken at the very beginning of the shoot, and they are my favorites. :)
A gorgeous little red haired girl, an antique rocking chair and a picture perfect grassy spot under the shade trees?? Yes please!

In further news my family and I are settling down in Fort Collins, Colorado now! I've started doing a little advertising here, so if you are new to my website - welcome! I am offering discounted photo shoots while we are getting settled, so if you are interested in having professional photos done, now is the time to contact me!

Asher, twenty-one months.

Just wanted to share two special portraits of my Asher at twenty-one months old, taken on our back porch today :)

He is FULL of passion for life, and underneath his wild side, his sweet sunshine warms my heart.

Asher, twenty months.

My own little asher turned twenty-one months old yesterday. This photo was taken on his "twenty month day". Oh how quickly they grow and change. I adore this photo of him - it truly captures his sweet + silly little soul. Wearing his hand-me down shirt that I made for his brother. Although he certainly keeps me on my toes - (an understatement) I am forever thankful for this sweet little teeny of mine.

asher, ten months.

some oldies but goodies of my son asher.

i attempted to do a series of photos during his fist year of life, each on our bed.

of course it didn't wrap up perfectly - i missed a few months here and there.

but it was still so magical to see how he grew and changed from month to month.

during his tenth month he was walking and clapping all over the place.

we love this little sunshine baby beauty of ours :)
