Aubrey & Chris Maternity

Aubrey is such a beautiful pregnant woman! She is glowing. We had so much fun a couple of weeks ago during her maternity session. We switched locations three times and her hubby, Chris, joined in at the end since he was just returning from a work trip. My camera loved Aubrey! She has the cutest little belly and those blue eyes just pop! She is such a sweet friend too so I took advantage of this opportunity to hangout. Aubrey & I used to run together when we worked in the same department and when we were on the same schedule but things got switched up and now our schedules are very different. I can't wait to meet the Tyson baby and I am so happy for Aubrey & Chris!

Ruckart Family

Family portraits are so important to me. Of course, this probably doesn't surprise you that I'm saying this - I mean, I AM a pro photographer. But seriously, capturing how your kids grow & change over the years is a big deal! Maybe this is such a big deal to me because I'm a middle child and I got gypped when it comes to photos. My own mother doesn't even have photos of her kids 'growing up' in the house. And she only has photos of her grand-kids because I have given them to her and basically made her display them. My Nana (her mom) is the same way. I'm really glad that is one trait I did not inherit! Maybe this is another reason that I have SO many photo displayed in my own home (poor husband). I just think its great when I walk into someone's home and see years of photos displayed in coffee table albums or on the wall. Its fabulous. Just look at this family below. They are beautiful! Big brother Cooper and Baby Judah - man, aren't they precious? Capturing this special time for the Ruckart family was a blast! Cooper was so much fun and Judah was the epitome of a "Gerber Baby". Enjoy!

Roberts Family

Have I mentioned how much I love this job? Well, I do! I love capturing special moments for families and I truly enjoy sharing the 1-2 hours getting to know people, their personalities and their stories. The Roberts family was definitely one of those families that I will always remember. They were so kind during our session and you could tell that they are just good people. I enjoyed meeting them and taking Evie's 1 year portraits. Amanda told me a story about their first attempt for 1 year portraits at one of those "mall" portrait studios. Evie was clinging to her mother (understood!) and didn't warm up to the people taking the photos so they suggested the Roberts family reschedule. Just another reason that I appreciate what I do best! Evie was just perfect and if you are patient with kids and let them do their thing, they will warm up to you. This is another reason why I prefer to do a combination of  'studio' and outdoor shots. What kid would prefer to be in-front of a backdrop with lights in their face? I don't know any! But if you get them used to the camera while they are having fun & being a kid, you get the best shots and I feel that is what happened on this (rainy) Saturday morning in May.
