This sweet family decided to do 4 square canvas on their wall.. I think they look pretty cool!

and this is my third 9 squares wall.. each square is 20×20 and I put a “digital vintage frame” to them.. love it! and as you can see even though you might think that 20×20 is big, once they are on the wall they are really not that big.. :)

and one more, this is 4 20×20 gallery wrap canvas. Cool isn’t it?

Please feel free to send my way your pics of how you put your pics on your wall.. can’t wait to see!!

We started with some cake.. he LOVED it!

he got so dirty that we had to do a quick jump in the tub.. ;)

lots of love from momma..

and off we went to play.. all clean and cute..

it’s been an honor to photograph Chase’s first year. Thank you so much for trusting on me!.. :)

Her mommy and daddy were my first 2010 session and I was so happy to finally meet her.

Sweet Lily was one of my littlest babies that I’ve photographed, she was so so good to me so sleepy and cute. :)

Mommy got some pretty lilies as a present at the hospital so we had to use them of course.

love baby’s little pieces

I loved using pink.. first time in a while.. ;)

I really like shots like this.. tells you how little she really is.

they make such a beautiful family!

Congrats again guys!!!.. enjoy your sweet little girl.

so we had to improvise a little “natural light studio”.. to be honest with you I don’t think I could ever have a studio.. I would feel limited to what I can do but I’m ok with doing it every once in a while.. I think it looks cute.. and totally saves the day when it’s freezing outside.. ;)I just think she’s so beautiful..

We did ventured outside to get a couple of pictures in such a beautiful background, we met the day after that snow storm that we had so everything was still white…

She didn’t care that much about it though.. :)

Next time I see little Miss Avery she’ll be one and I know we’ll have tons of fun again.. Thanks guys!

I hope you all are enjoying the awesome weekend!

mom and I are already planning the 1 year old session.. can’t wait!

We met a few weeks ago to take some pics of that beautiful baby belly.. we went to the cool barn again..

then we just walked around.. it was FREEZING that day.. I had a couple of layers, gloves, etc.. they were such a big troopers!

my favorite of the session for sure.. it’d look awesome big big big.. 

Thank you guys! I can’t wait to meet your new bundle of joy.. :)

it’s always bitter sweet when babies that are part of my one year package turn one… First time I met him he was on his mommy’s belly, then his newborn session and this time he was about to start walking.. it’s sad and happy at the same time.. he for sure was as cute as always and his mommy and daddy as sweet as usual.. :)
