Such a sweet little thing. And she hardly even used the bathroom on any of my things. That is rare folks! I love photographing these precious little babies. Look at her. She’s so fresh, sweet, and perfect. It seriously makes me happy to get to preserve these memories for people.

My little 3 year old likes to say things are magical. That’s what I think of when I see this shot.

I had to post a few more from this session. Such a little doll!

I photographed this little guy as a newborn. Now he’s one. How this happens so fast never ceases to amaze me. His daddy is currently deployed. He missed his first steps and doesn’t want to miss his first haircut. I think that is so sweet. What a fantastic dad!

So here’s his little boy, waiting for him. Doesn’t this picture say it all.

Thank you for all you do on behalf of us and this great country! A little reminder of how tiny he was just a year ago!

It’s been fun watching this little man grow up. He looks more like a toddler now than a baby! It’s crazy how fast they change. True to boy form, he was having a good old time on all the grass. Love it!

I’ve got to slow down when I go to delete spam. As it was all disappearing I saw that one was actually about pictures. Sorry, if you e-mailed me and haven’t heard back. Please try again. I promise to go to the delete button a little slower!

It is seriously fun to photograph these mini humans. I love how candid they are. No fake stuff when you’re only 5 months old! Enjoy your peek!

Isn’t it great how babies clamp onto your hair when you do things like this to them.

Love this both ways.

We’re back from our little vacation. It was so GREEN. Ah, I miss green. Monsoons come to the desert soon please! Just make sure you leave breaks for my sessions. I’d appreciate it! We got to ride the gator, jump on the trampoline, plant a garden, go check out some gorgeous views of the valley, throw rocks in the creek, and of course a little cattle branding for good measure. My kind of vacation! The country girl in me sure misses good old Wyoming. As a nice little highlight to the trip we got to meet my incredibly adorable little niece! She’s just the cutest little thing and her mom is a fabulous mother! What a lucky little girl. I’ll have another new little niece and a new little nephew next time I’m up! Can’t wait!

Isn’t she so sweet!

Even her little sneezes are cute.

My mom made me these little hanging pouches so we had to test one out. Little Mrs. P was simply a fantastic model for it.

Every time I look at these pictures I feel so thankful for families like this one! Mom deployed a couple days after we took these. When she comes back shortly thereafter Dad leaves. All I can say is THANK YOU! Thank you for your sacrifices for our country and freedoms! Meeting families like this refreshes my hope in the future. Thanks for allowing me to capture this precious time in your lives and for a fantastic session!

I LOVE this series!

Proof that indeed the desire to open ones mouth when wanting another to open their mouth is instinctive. I catch myself doing that when I’m feeding my baby rice cereal. At least I know I’m normal now. Ha!

Little Mr. J is so happy, not to mention ADORABLE! He was so good at sitting up at barely 6 months old! It seems like they’re usually a bit wobbly if sitting up at all yet, but he had it down. Thanks for sharing your cute little man with me. He’s so fun to photograph.
