Child Photo Shoot: Kate - 2 Years Old

Little Kate is absolutely adorable! I had a lovely time capturing these moments of Kate and her beautiful Mama, too! Check out the big brown eyes and huge dimples on this little cutie. :)











We had to be sure & include "Lamby" in the photoshoot, too. :)

Child Mini-Shoot: Zari - 14 Months Old

What a cutie! Zari was a gorgeous newborn and although I didn't think it was possible, she's even cuter now! She has the sweetest spirit and was just so happy and smiley during our time together. I won't make you read anything else and wait any longer...just scroll down to see this beautiful little lady for yourself!

Engagement/Family Photo Shoot: Randy & Cyndra

I had a great time at this combination engagement/family photo shoot! When I first found out that Randy had a 13-year-old boy and Cyndra had a 2-year-old girl, I immediately started thinking of how I would capture them together...both ages can be tricky to photograph! When we started the photo shoot, though, it was apparent right off the bat that the chemistry within the family was amazing! Sweet little Eden kept wanting to be held by her big brother, Alex, which I thought was just adorable. It was a lot of fun documenting this special time for this family, as Randy & Cyndra are engaged and about to start their new life together. I wish you the best and pray for God's blessing on your upcoming marriage and beautiful new family!

Newborn Session: Roman

Sweet little Roman behaved amazingly well for his session! He was a preemie and even though he was 9 days old when I photographed him, he only weighed in around 6/1/2 pounds on this day. What a sweetheart!













Big brother Jake and Big sister Alyssa joined in, too.

Family Session: Steve, Suzy & Kids

It was so nice meeting and spending time with this adorable family! They have quite a unique story, and I've been so excited to blog about them because I think they're just remarkable. Plus, they're all so cute!

A couple years ago, Steve & Suzy had four beautiful daughters and they had pretty much decided they were done having children. After making this decision, they really felt God calling them to have another baby. While at a restaurant one night, they struck up a conversation with their server, who was pregnant and in the beginning stages of finding an adoptive family for her baby. She asked Steve & Suzy if they would be interested in adopting her baby, and they told her they were! Amazing, right? One conversation led to a relationship with this wonderful young woman who truly loved her son, but wanted a better life for him than what she knew she could provide.

Steve & Suzy were able to journey through the pregnancy with her, taking her to all her appointments, hearing the heartbeat and seeing the first sonogram together, and even being in the delivery room and cutting the cord when Ty was born! They took him home with them the next day and he is now almost 3 months old! The adoption is set to be finalized on October 15th, so please pray that all goes smoothly for them.

Steve & Suzy fully believe that being at that restaurant, that particular night was not a coincidence, but that God brought this young woman and Ty into their lives for a wonderful purpose.
