I had the pleasure this week of photographing Avery and her parents. We started out our shoot in the studio.
Check out the sweet highchair I scored this week! Love it! Doesn’t she look so darn cute?
And then we headed out for some fun at the park just down the street. 
Avery had never really seen balloons before, so it was fun to watch her reaction.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to capture this sweet time in Avery’s life!
I love families…. and I especially love it when one of the couple’s I photographed as an engaged and then married couple asks me to also photograph their family. There is no greater compliment! I was so excited when Janet wondered if I’d be able to take their photos and capture little Lauren at this wonderful stage. Isn’t she just a doll!
Rob & Janet you really have a beautiful little girl! I hope you treasure every minute of it! Trust me, they grow up way too fast!
Love those cheeks!
Last fall I started offering “Watch Me Grow” packages which include 3 sessions that capture “from belly to birth to birthday”. This package gives you 3 sessions in studio within a 13 month period. I decided last week to put a little twist on it. I contacted the parents that hand children were ready for their next session. These babies were all photographed when they were about 2 months old the first time (click on their names below to see that session), and now are all in the 6-9 month range. It worked out that it suited all of the families on the same day so we met up at Exeter park for an outdoor version of the “watch me grow” session. It’s so neat to see how much each of them have grown. Let me start with Cole.
And next was his cousin Sofie. These two were born just days apart!
How cute is she!! Love that smile!
And next up was Finn. It was so great to see how much each of their little personalities has developed. Finn has the cutest little wiggle he does when he’s sitting and playing. Absolutely adorable!
Can’t wait to see them all again for their third session!
Remember these photos of this little sweetheart with her cupcake?
Here are a few more that I just had to share!
Madeline I hope you had a great first birthday!
Who knew that a one year old and a cupcake could be this much fun! Full post to follow, but I had to share this!! How cute is she??
Love this little face!
It was great to have Sean Catherine and her mom and dad into the studio last week. Sean Catherine had pretty much no intention of sleeping, especially not without her soother! We did however manage to get some beautiful shots of her. Love how little her feet are!
A very rare sleepy baby photo! 
This quilt was made by Sean Catherine’s great-grandma. No one in the family knew that she even quilted until a whole cedar chest full of these amazing blankets was found after she passed away. I love it when families bring along items like this to their session. Such a great way to tie in part of their families legacy!
Thanks so much Sean, Toni and Sean Catherine for coming into the studio. It was great to capture this wonderful time in your families life!
