Craig Family {Wildflower Field}

I have had the opportunity to have these lovelies in front of my camera a few times now, and each time it gets sweeter and sweeter! Beginning when Lauren and Mike were expecting Leah, their first daughter, and then newborn imagery with her, maternity with the littlest one, Kylie, and now these again. These moments are so fleeting, as I say all the time.

Sometimes, we get tears. and guess what? This mom was okay with all that, because THAT is their life right now. That’s how she chose to be that day. And THAT is what I love capturing… LIFE. REAL. LIFE.

PRINT. YOUR. PHOTOS.

{Nourish}

What do I love most about being a business owner and photographer? Freedom of creativity!

Being able to capture memories and moments in time, so that some day, maybe 50-100 years from now, my images will bring a smile to a younger generation. (but remember, you need to PRINT YOUR PHOTOS )

When approached about capturing real life moments such as feeding a baby, I wanted it to be more than just mom in her every day clothing, because I wanted her to FEEL as special as she was, for nourishing her baby. As moms, we sacrifice so much for our children, and we should feel good about every thing we do.

I wanted moms to see how beautiful they truly are (not that it matters what they are wearing when they feed baby, but moms are really in FRONT of the camera!)

 

I absolutely loved these moments from Bethany’s session …

How beautiful is this mama who just gave birth to this wee one??!

I was lucky enough to have met Brent & Kaitlin and photographed their engagement session, wedding, maternity with both girls as well as newborn lifestyle sessions with both Madelyn & Hadley. What a treat to watch this precious little family grow!

 

This Daddy surely has a way with his baby girls! He is the one to soothe and calm them and I love seeing them respond to him! Look how she just melts in his arms
