{Munchkins} Catherine Grey | Newborn

Miss Catherine Grey decided to enter the world a whole month EARLY than expected! Most first time moms (myself included) end up going late or being induced. Not amanda! She went in for an appointment and they sent her over into labor and delivery. She was shocked and I was too! She was so tiny! Just over a week old this girly did NOT want to miss a thing! Spending most of the session trying to get her to fall back asleep, I was beginning to think she just enjoyed being in the world and rather be awake. She was precious and I totally didn't mind trying to snuggle her back to sleep :) Thank you for letting me capture this sweet baby and your precious family! This will be a BEAUTIFUL holiday season spending it with a new little one! Soak up every minute!

{Munchkins} Larsen & Fam:: NoDa

When I got an email from Bree and heard she wanted their first professional photo session with their little girl, Larsen, and then got their questionnaire back, I immediately thought 3 things. 1) I love that name! Larsen is so cute! 2) A family that just loves to have fun and dance sounds like an awesome photosesh 3) their first session- but hopefully the first of many! They are too cute not to have lots of pics!

Larsen just turned two and she was a bundle of cuteness! From jumping like a frog to making silly faces to jammin' out to some tunes this girl was all smiles! She loved searching for the choo-choo and the moon all along our photo journey. There are so many photos from their session, I could easily post them all-- but to save some surprise for their fam.. here's a sneak peek!

{BIG MUNCHKINS} Emma + Liza:: Senior Mini Sessions Part 2

I got to Smelly Cat in NoDa, and my phone completely died! I was so nervous I wouldn't be able to track them down or maybe they wouldn't remember where I mentioned meeting. I sipped on the best spiced brown sugar chai latte right outside of smelly cat... completely vulnerable with NO PHONE and nobody sitting with me. Luckily it wasn't too long when I saw Emma's red convertible pass by and I jumped up and waved frantically... funny how many people though I was actually waving to them HA! Whoops! Praise the Lord I found them! And this gorgeous session could take place!

I have known emma since she was just 13 when I lead a girls Bible study at my tiny hot pink 1 bedroom apartment. I have watched her grow in integrity, beauty and purity. She is truly a gem! I met Liza this year and she was open to anything I had her doing. She is such a sweetheart! Teachable, beautiful, and has a heart of gold! They are both AMAZING girls! I'm so thankful I had the pleasure to take their pics and I wish them an AMAZING journey post-highschool and for them to grow even more in their faith!
