The Johnsons {Roots}

It's crazy to me. It seems that the baby boom has happened again! :) I am loving the opportunity to photograph all these little munchkins lately though.

Ashley is the sister of one of my friends from high school (Brooke - the giggle monster) and of Jake, who I photographed about a month ago for his senior photos. Not only that, but she's also the cousin of both Brandon AND Kenley, who's photos I took this fall too. I'm almost certain that there's no one left to photograph in their family. ;) Just kidding.

I remember playing "Twister" (as in the tornado movie) with Brooke and Ashley in forts in their bedroom (using the "wiz kid" as the computer that analyzed the tornadoes) and making a haunted house in their basement. A good time was had by all. :) Sometimes it seems that it wasn't that long ago, but now Ashley is married and has a precious little baby boy.


Seriously- look how sweet little Ryder is.


We headed out to Bond County again to take the Johnson's pictures. This was the week that the heat wave was going through the Midwest. We had BEAUTIFUL weather for the shoot. Thanks guys for a fun shoot. :)

The Boscias {Roots}

Meet the Boscias. I am loving this little family! Not only are mom and dad adorable (and very photogenic) their kids are precious! I've had the most awesome clients in the past month. The Boscias braved the chilly breeze and ventured out to shoot their family session. Thanks guys! I think it was worth it!



Little man is looking exceptionally cute in his overalls. :)


And you can't resist this princess. Look at those eyes! :)




I love the authenticity of this picture. While baby may not be the happiest, big sister is consoling him. Love the sweet little hand she put on his head (without being told to by the way). I think she will be a great big sister.
Loving this one too. Little Lincoln, you are loved by all.

Baby Hayden - 13 Days old

Ok, so we FINALLY got to make it down to see my friends Julie and Dave's little baby girl: Hayden Claire. :) Isn't she precious?? Julie and I have been friends since we were kids. Fast forward 20 years later and she and her husband Dave have a beautiful baby girl. We were thrilled when we found out that Julie and Dave were pregnant for a couple of reasons-

1. to experience pregnancy together- both myself with Julie and Steve with Dave
2. to be in the same stage of life with another couple
3. to know that Jaden will have a friend to play with when we get together
and the most important one...
4. to know that Jaden will have good in-laws...:)

{Prince Charming & Sleeping Beauty}

Haha. All joking aside, that really would be awesome, but we're not prophets.

Hope you guys enjoy the images.










P.S. Sorry About throwing in the images with Jaden- they just were so cute I couldn't help myself. :) Here's the slideshow from the images. :)

Baby Avery - 12 Days old

It's fun to do newborn sessions, especially now since I have a little one. It's fun to watch new parents so carefully maneuver their precious bundles of joy from place to place. I'd been through every stage of life that I photographed except for motherhood. I'm thrilled to now be able to relate and connect with these clients. :)

Little precious baby Avery is only 12 days old in these pictures. How precious is she!? Such a tiny bundle, @ 7 lbs. 4 oz. and 20 inches long.













I was loving this quilt that Jennifer's grandma made for Avery...








Look at her cute bottoms...:)

Showit

So it's my first Mother's Day- and my wonderful husband agreed to get me showit web for my Mother's Day gift!! I'm loving it and can't wait to make more for my clients. What a great way to showcase my images for them. Enjoy the latest session of sweet baby Payton.

Baby Payton

I met Ashley when we were kids in elementary school and in the eighth grade we were bffs. Fast forward 10 years later and it's hard to believe we're both graduated from college, married, and have little ones. :) After shooting Ashley and Jerrell's maternity pictures, I anxiously awaited the arrival of their little princess. I was the lucky one who got to photograph baby Payton at 12 days old.

Baby Payton

First session since little man arrived. I Photographed this sweet little princess this weekend...more to come! :)

Makenzie Faith
