Kewanee IL Child & Family Photographer | Jensen

I would have to say Abby is up there on my BFF list! We've been friends longer than I wish to reveal. I'll keep our age to myself. She's always been the friend who stayed in touch through the college years even though we lived in different towns. She was by my side when I got married and I was by hers when she tied the knot. She made a 2 hour drive at the drop of a hat when I needed a friend most and I'll never forget that. As I've watched her family grow I can't help but feel nostalgic about all the good times we've shared and how happy I am that our boys are becoming quick friends. You have an absolutely beautiful family and I'm so glad we're a part of your lives. Thank you for being a friend and thank you for letting me continue capturing your special moments in life.

And now introducing Archer. Little stinker put up a huge fight. But we eventually got some shots. I definitely look up to those who make newborn photography look easy!

Kewanee IL Child Photographer | Camden

 

Happy Birthday Camden! I cannot get over how easy this little man was. Our session was on one of the hottest most humid days and he sat, smiled and posed like a champ. His eyes were sparkling...he is so in love with his parents, who were champs themselves acting like fools behind me to produce some amazing little grins. He was a little reluctant to dig in to the cake at first. He just wasn't quite sure but he had a good time and who can resist a baby covered in frosting. Thank you Nathan and Angie. I had a lot of fun with your little one. 

Kewanee IL Child Photographer | Alec

I cannot believe how much Alec has changed since our 6 month session. He's sitting up and crawling and has a mind of his own. He is such a little person now! I love watching his parents be silly with him. You can tell they are truly enjoying being parents! Thank you Brad & Sara for once again letting me take your little man's photos.

Aubree | Kewanee IL Newborn Photographer

Sweet baby Aubree. She was only 5 days old at our session and the best part is she's part of my family so I get to see her often! She was so sweet and when she finally fell asleep she was such a good sport! 

Now I must admit that I still need a lot of practice with newborns. Others make it look so easy and effortless but let me tell you, they have a gift because it is the farthest thing from it! Not that I didn't enjoy my session, it's just not second nature to me yet. Photographing a running toddler is much easier (for me) than a newbie. But I learned a lot from this session and hope to learn even more from my next newborn session.

Thank you Caleb and Lauren. Aubree is such a sweet baby and a true blessing.



Easton & Daylight Savings Time

Darn Daylight Savings time. Why did we have to spring ahead and lose an hour the night before Easton's 1 year session?! Mom had him dressed to perfection from head to toe and the poor thing was just in a funk. As I mentioned in my previous post, learn to go with the flow. Easton only wanted to be held by mommy and daddy, so that's what we went with. I may be a little biased...but I think they turned out pretty great. His funk made for some tender family moments that you wouldn't trade for anything.

Thank you Johnny & Chelsea!
