Hold on to your seats peeps, cause the Collette family is rockin’ the blog today!   Courtney contacted me about needing new family photos, and had some great ideas for her session.  I of course, love a good styled shoot, so we worked together to add a few props to enhance their portraits.

Check out some of my favorites from this fun, sweet, loving family…they make my job easy!

My oh my, where does the time go?  I have to be honest, looking at these pictures is actually hard for me – I still see my baby, but he’s not a baby anymore  🙁   He is definitely a BIG BOY now and he makes it a point to tell me that whenever I slip up and call him “my baby boy”  😉

For his 4th birthday shoot, I wanted to document him just being him – playing in dirt, being silly…you know, boy stuff!

Happy happy birthday to my sweet boy!

Gosh, I could not be more excited to blog these pictures from this lifestyle session I did over the weekend!  I adore this sweet family and am totally in love with their new baby.

The “R family” is a fun, happy, easygoing family, and little Oliver fits right in 🙂  Documenting their love for their new addition was such a wonderful experience. Congrats R family – thank you for allowing me to be a part of this special time

For realzies, this baby is the cutest little girl in the whole world (and I’m not just saying that because we are family 😉  Meet baby Caylyn, my cousins newest addition. Love this little one

Boy oh boy, does the time fly!  I swear, it feels like yesterday I was swaddling this little guy 😉  Its hard to believe he is now a preschooler!
Here are a couple of fun shots I took of Parker last week. I may be a little biased, but I think he is the cutest kid, EVA!

Get ready for a cuteness overload – Liam is on the blog!
I loved this mother/son session. There is nothing quite like the bond between a mother and her child. Thank you Krista for trusting me with these precious moments of you and your adorable little boy.

I got to photograph Bethany while I was in Colorado last month. I’ve known the Chester family for about 3 years now, and I just can’t believe how fast Bethany has grown. She is the sweetest little girl, and I loved getting to take her portraits!

Meet Aydin, an energetic, fun, and super sweet little girl. Aydin, like my son Parker, has aniridia (lack of iris). I was so honored to photograph her as part of the fundraiser for the Vision for Tomorrow Foundation.  So far we’ve raised $440 and counting!

I had a tough time choosing my favorites, but here are a few 🙂

I know it sounds cliche, but time really does go by entirely too fast. My little boy turned 3 on Friday and I still can’t believe how fast the past three years have flown by!  He gets cuter and cuter every day and never ceases to surprise us with the hilarious and ingenious things he comes up with 😉

Here are some shots of my little ham from his session at Laguna Beach 😉

Too much cuteness happening right now!  Those chubby cheeks, adorable hat, and sweet little giggle made this session a total blast!

 Love this generation photo
