Ellia just turned one. One! That's a big, fat, humongous milestone! Right?! I was so happy to be able to capture her sweet, beautiful and thoughtful face. And big brother Ian had some fun in the mix, too! I captured a larger family session for them last fall and it was amazing to see how much she has changed and grown in the past several months. Way to be one sweetie pie!
You may recall sweet Allie from the stylized vintage session I put together last month. Her mama Lisa is one of my best friends in the world, and also a huge support to me as a mom, a friend, and as a part of my "village" helping me with my children. I could not do what I do without her. So her husband Tyler and I put together another stylized session, including both of their children, as a surprise to her on her birthday. She had no idea. We snuck away to hunt for costumes and props, plotted via emails and phone calls and text messages, and swore her kiddos and my kiddos and my husband to secrecy. The result - a fabulous fifties inspired session that brought on tears when she watched the video last night. I'll share the still images soon, but wanted to share the fun video slideshow I prepared. MAJOR props to Tyler for putting it all together, and Jackson and Allie for being the most fabulous of models - seriously, get these kids into some theater stat!
Baby J is back and three months old! His last visit had him sleeping almost the entire session. This time around he was yet again, a perfect little model. He coo'd, batted his eyelashes, smiled and winked for the first half of our session, then promptly fell asleep in his mama's arms for the second half. Kate and Justin are beyond blessed with this little fellow, and I feel honored to have been asked to capture him again as he grows!
ps...check out dapper-Dad in his suit! We snuck in a quick headshot session for Justin, too!
