one of my favorite things is when i meet amazing people as clients, and then i get to work with them again. i first met this family when little maliyah was a newborn, and look how she has grown! this family has been through a lot this year- soon after maliyah was born, leith was sent to afghanistan for three months. i was inspired and encouraged to watch their faith through this time... they truly are

i was so happy when zoey's mommy won my contest my few months back, because i knew that meant i'd get to love on this precious little girl. sweet zoey wasn't too sure if she wanted her pictures taken, but she eventually decided to get sleepy for us. she is a lucky little girl, joining an amazing family. zoey.... you are awesome. and of course we needed a pic of big sister, stella :)

this beautiful family was full of spunk and fun! two energetic boys, a face-full of orange highlighter, and a goldfish-loving little sister.... we were busy during this session. but the love and joy this family has for one another is a joy to be around. thank you, friend family! you guys are awesome.

i think it goes without saying, the best thing about a baby's first birthday is watching them eat their cake. some kids dig right in and paint themselves with frosting. and others decide they want nothing to do with it. it's always so fun to watch them discover something totally new, and see their little personalities come out in the process. i got to spend a morning with sweet little lyla and her loving parents. she

i had never met the thompsons before our session, but i left feeling like we were old friends. the kids are tons of fun... little mia had me laughing the whole time- she is quite the little posing machine! and there is just obvious love oozing out of each of them for one another. thank you, thompsons, for a lovely evening. you are a fabulous family.
