Ally had about an hour drive for her session and was full of smiles from the time she arrived to my studio, until the time she left.
6 month old sessions are one of my absolute favorites because the littles are typically pretty happy, and not yet aware of strangers, but Ally wins for happiest 6 month old! ;)
​ Goodness she made my day. <3 

Here are just a few session favorites from Ally's session! 

Sweet Emery! We began the session with a few daddy and daughter photos so that Emery could get warmed up a bit. Guess what?? It worked! Now Emery + Daddy have some photos together along with her solo 6 month photos. 

Here are a few session favorites of this sweet girl! 

Lainey is 1! Sweet and happy as usual. She has been such a joy to photograph. Rocked all of her sessions. Newborn, 3, 6, 9 month and 1 year!!! 

It's a bittersweet moment when I photograph a tiny client from newborn through their first year. I am so excited about that 1 year milestone, yet sad because I won't get to see them every 3 months!

​Here are a few session favorites.

My niece Ellie is 1! Well she has been one now for going on two months and I am just now getting around to making this post! 

Ellie is THE happiest baby ever.  If everyone in the world could be half as happy as Ellie, the world would truly be a great place all around! So lets just all try and bottle up a little of that happiness. Okay? ;)  

Here are a few session favorites!

This guy has rocked all his sessions. Newborn and all milestone sessions so far! Just an overall happy little man that is such a joy to be around! 

Here are a few session favorites of this handsome little dude. 

This sweet guy is one lucky baby boy! He has 3 very proud big sisters to look after him! 

Let's talk about newborns for a minute and how much they change within the first few months of life! 
These quick changes are why it's so very important to hire a professional newborn photographer that can capture sweet photos of your tiny, curly newborn within the first 14 days of life!
The first pose below of this little guy is much like how he was curled up in the womb. That's why it's dubbed the "womb" pose. I look back and regret not having photos like this of my boys.

I hope you enjoy these session favorites of mine! 

I always know a session will be great when little one's come in with a smile on their face!
6 month olds are just such a joy to be around as they are super happy and their personalities are really starting to shine through! 

Here are a few session favorites of this sweet, handsome little guy.

Zoey and her mom made a trip down from Indy for her session. Zoey was in pretty great spirits considering she wasn't feeling so great and had a bit of a road trip the night before! I spent an hour with this sweet duo and had such a great time with them! 

As moms we are rarely in photos with our little one's. We are always the one behind the lense photographing our littles and everyone else with them.  I wish I could go back to when my boys were babies and toddlers and hop in more photos with them, or better yet, have scheduled a photo session with them periodically. 

I loved every single photo in this session, but here are just a few session favorites. :) 

I'll begin this post by saying how adorable Lyella's name is! She is the first Lyella I have ever met, or heard of and I think that's pretty neat!! There is also a fun story behind her unique name. 

Lyella was created from her dad's middle name Lyell. The spelling Lyell is the Scottish way of spelling Lyle.  Lyell is Ryan's late father and grandfather's middle name as well.  So, after 3 generations of the men in the family, an "A" was added and Lyella was created. Pretty nifty huh? I think so!

This sweet girl was full of sweetness. A sweep sleepy girl who rocked her entire session.
 
Oh and her big brothers?? Oh...my...goodness!! They love their little sister so so much. Their love for her clearly shows in the photos below. 
After coming into the studio, Cale, who recently turned three, took my hand and walked me over to his sister. He was so proud to show her off! Super cute too, how he was showing her to me like I had no idea there was a baby in the car seat. ;) I absolutely love how little minds work. <3


Here are just a few session favorites!

Sweet Paisley is 18 months and will soon be a big sister! I met this sweet girl for her newborn session and have photographed her quite a few times since. 18 month-2 years is a tricky age to photograph. Kiddos are so curious and don't want to sit still. Who can blame them? Makes for a fun challenge. :)
