Beautiful Aniston is already four months old! Time flies! She did so great for her milestone session! Her mom was a little nervous since Ani was crying when they arrived but I’m convinced she loves the camera!

Sweet girl, Millie was in the studio recently for her 4 month milestone session! I love these sessions because its so fun to see how they have changed since their newborn photos!

Meet sweet Annistyn! She came to the studio at just 12 days new! She was such a good baby for me! Her big brothers were so proud of her and couldn’t stop talking about her during the session! So cute!

Albert and Kayla’s wedding day was one for the books. It was full of laughter, love, and perfect details. We started out the day at Kayla’s parent’s farm near Inwood, IA. Her family’s farm place sat perfectly on top of a hill with breathtaking views of the river and gorgeous landscape as soon as I walked in, I felt right at home.

Meet this little sweetie, Adlee Ann! I went to school with her daddy and I couldn’t help but think how much she looked like him during her session! She has some adorable chubby cheeks!

This was such a fun shoot! Even if it was something like -3 degrees out! When Caitlin booked their wedding date we talked about how originally she had wanted a winter wedding but with so many of their families traveling from farther away they decided it would be better to have it earlier! Since they were having a late September wedding, we decided on a winter engagement session instead!

I have been so looking forward to Chris and Holly’s engagement session since she booked me. She is just the sweetest bride-to-be! They were both home from Nashville for the holidays and braved the cold for a snowy engagement session squeezed into their busy schedule!

Meet this little sweetheart, Suttyn Haisley! She has two VERY proud big sisters! It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 4 years since I photographed her big sister Collins’ newborn session! Time flies! I think Suttyn will be in good hands with her sissys!

I’m super behind on blogging since things have been pretty crazy around here with wedding season in full swing but this little lady’s session just needed to be shared! You might recognize her from her fresh 48 session! I absolutely love shooting both fresh 48 and newborn sessions for my clients! It is SO fun to see how much babies change in just a couple weeks!
