So, I realize that I have been MIA for a month as far as my blog goes.  Ugh, I am so bad at blogging!!  Oh well…there it is I’m just bad at it!! I have a few sessions that I need to post, but this one couldn’t wait!!

This was different than a typical senior session because it was a “stylized” session.  What does that mean you ask??  Well…for this particular senior session it meant working with my sister-in-law, Michelle Zeller.  We chose the location and from there she made the clothing choices and had some of her girls from DollyRockers do the hair & make-up.  Ok, so Danielle is one of the front desk girls at DollyRockers so, she had a little bit of an “in”!  Michelle came with me to the shoot and we picked out all our spots prior to Danielle arriving and which outfits she would be wearing at each as well.  So…ALL that to say, what is a “Stylized Shoot”?  Well, it’s your chance to look like you belong on the cover of a magazine!!  Senior sessions are already a love of mine, a stylized one just took it to the next level!!!  LOVE!!!  If you are interested in this type of session I would love to hear from you.

Danielle, thank you so much for allowing me to capture this amazing time for you!!!  Love you, sweetie!!!

Danielle & her beautiful Mama, Vicki.

After a few Bohemian style pictures we went straight to Bright, Bold & Crazy Fun!!

One of my favorites

It’s actually hard to get Danielle to not smile…she is just genuinely a happy go lucky kind of girl & love that about her!!

She really wanted a pink wall and just LOVE it when you find what you are looking for!

We were walking to our last location and the sun was giving some amazing light as it was setting, so I said STOP!  Turn around and look at me…so happy we got this!

Another favorite…

Danielle, you are beautiful girl!!!  Enjoy this amazing year!!  xoxo

Special thanks to my sister-in-law, Michelle Zeller for her amazing talent and stylizing this shoot, Drea Stern for Danielle’s amazing make-up, & Chelsea VanWynsberghe for Danielle’s fabulous hair!

Blessings!

When we were on our summer road trip I sneaked (is that a word?) in a couple of impromptu pictures of my four little blessings.  These were taken right around the corner from my best friend’s house in Oregon.  Yes, I am jealous of the Northwest and their gorgeous scenery, so I was happy to take advantage while I was there.

I love me some yummy warm light.

This last one just makes me laugh…so classic of my four kiddos!!  It’s one of my favorites!!

I am super excited about a BIG revamp coming at the end of the month!!  Can’t wait to show you!!  Have a GREAT weekend!

Blessings,

Brody was one of Jason’s top picks had Sadie been a little boy (she was the only one we didn’t know boy/girl until she was here!).  I just love that name!!  Well, Mr. Brody was welcomed to the world by two amazing parents and one excited big brother.  I have had the chance to get to know Brody’s mom & dad over the last few years because his Mama, Danielle is one of the Dollies over at Dollyrockers.  Can I just say I love them?  Danielle has a huge heart and just loves everyone she is around.  I love being around her because you know that she genuinely cares for you and that she just loves without strings.  She is surrounded by boys in her house (yes, Jeremy I included you in “boys”) and I can tell you that her sons are going to love people genuinely too…it just rubs off from both of these two.  Brody (& Austin) oh how you have been blessed.

Here are a few of my faves from Brody’s session

Squeeze that little guy for me, Mama!!  XOXO

Blessings!

Meet the cutest little four week old little man, Tyler.  For four weeks he was a champ at his session.  Typically at his age there is a little bit of difficulty getting baby to stay asleep because they are starting to become more alert.  Well, Tyler was definitely alert at different points during his shoot, but he did give into some sweet sleep too.  It was so fun to meet his parents too because it turns out we have ALOT of friends in common, not to mention my dad did their premarital counseling before they got married (half way through the shoot I mentioned something about my dad and R says, “Wait, your dad’s Bob?”.)  That is not uncommon by the way…have you heard of the 7 degrees to Kevin Bacon?  We have one of those too it’s called the 7 degrees to a Lehman.  Pretty much the same thing. 

So, here is Mr. Tyler…who the first time he fell asleep gave us the perfect little grin.

Ok, R…I have to say it…EVERY new mom would die to have this woman’s body after having a baby, like she never even had a belly, crazy.  She looked AMAZING!!!

We got so lucky and had some nice cloud cover for a few shots outside…definitely some of my favorites

R & T thank you again for inviting me to photograph Tyler.  He is such a beautiful blessings from God.

Blessings!

Remember I said I was behind?  Well, Miss Harper will be getting her four month pictures taken next month already!!  She was the sweetest little thing ever.  I can’t wait to see how big she has gotten!!  Here she is in all her newness…

Her Mama already had some super cute hats that Harper was happy to model for us

Thanks for letting me photograph Harper when she was brand new to the world.  See you in a month!!

Blessings!
