First, I can't believe that the next time I see Katelyn she will be one! Seems like I was just meeting her as a newborn. Doesn't she have the prettiest eyelashes. Ok, I'm quite tired out from this morning's (fun!) mini sessions so I'm going to cut the writing short and get to sharing some of sweet Katelyn's images...

This is one of my new families this fall. They are awesome and I feel fortunate they chose me to photograph their family. This first image was taken within less than a minute of meeting Benjamin. He was sitting with me while his parents were gathering things from the car. I usually wait a little bit for kids to warm up before I pull out the camera. But it was clear that Benjamin needed no warming up period. This was a great start to a great morning. There are so many of this beautiful family that I want to share. And we got some great ones of them all together, but I think I'll save my full family shots from my sessions until after the holidays - just to keep them a surprise for any potential holiday cards they may want to send out. :)

Such sweet little girls. Charlotte was cracking me up during the session and made my day when she reached for my hand to help her walk down the stairs. :) And I got to meet new cute baby Susanna who is so lucky to part of such a loving family. Here are a few of my picks from the session...

It seems like I say it a lot, but it really is fun to get to photograph clients over time and see babies and kids grow. I'm lucky and get to see little Katelyn several times during her first year. Here she is at 4 months, her second session of the year. You'll see her cuteness again in a few months. :)

Amelia is so little and so cute (and has such a cute name)! It's funny for me to look through this blog post because you would totally think she slept peacefully through the entire session. I guess Amelia and I will let you in on our secret... she actually preferred to be awake. I'm starting to wonder if it's me -- like babies don't want to miss out on the excitement of their first newborn photography experience. :) But with newborn sessions I come in knowing that what newborns lack in predictability they make up for in cuteness! Plus, while Amelia was off eating I had her awesome dog (whose name I can't remember right now!) to entertain me. And it was such a nice day we were able to get outside for a few minutes. Here are some of my favorites...
