Stuart and Roberts Family

I have known the Stuart-Roberts Family since I was a sophomore in high school! Robbie, their son and I have been great friends ever since , even when we go months without talking we just pick up right where we left off! The Stuart-Roberts have always treated me as one of their own and I am truly blessed to have them in my life. They also welcomed an adorable baby girl to the world last year and we took some amazing family holiday photos!

Lester Family welcomes a new addition!!

I had the pleasure of photographing the Lester Family a few weeks before their 3rd little guy was born! We did a family/maternity session at the Heritage Museum, which I think is great for kids! With all the old, super cool stuff to explore, what kid wouldn't love to play there? 

I can't get over his sad face, its so adorable! 

And welcome baby Cruz! 

Since dad is a firefighter we thought this little outfit was appropriate!

He has the 2 best big brothers a kid could ask for! 

Prell Family

The Prell Family is amazing and are about to welcome baby number 2 in September! Jaclyn is one of my best friends and an amazing wife and mother! Dave is one lucky dude!  I was so happy to do their family photos! I also helped photograph their wedding back in October Their son Skyler recently had his second birthday which he just so happens to share with his mom! I think that is so cute!  Here are a few from their family photo session!

He was on a mission! 

Just a couple early belly bump pictures! 

Thank you Jaclyn, Dave, Skyler and baby #2! ( we won't find out if it's a boy or girl till he or she arrives!)

A Soldier comes home!

Its been a while since I've blogged, but I've been busy with photography, working, school and interning! So that's a great thing! I definitely need to catch up!

I thought this was extra important to share, so after shooting I came straight home to edit!

One of my very close friend's brothers came home from Afghanistan this morning and she asked me if I could take some family photos since it has been a year since he has been home! So I took the opportunity to not just take some family photos but to document his home coming and of all the worry of a son and brother being oversees, just go away! You could feel the anticipation and giddiness in the air! If it was hard for me to keep it together, I can't even imagine what it was like for all the families who have waited for a year!

As soon as Mama O saw her son I could barely keep up with her! 

Thank you for letting letting me share in such a special time!
