Abby liked her little sister right away. . . for the most part. A couple of weeks after we brought Izzy home, I remember Abby asking, “So when is Izzy going to HER home?”

It was totally evident early on that baby Izzy has a laughing personality and a mischievous streak in her. Her older sister is pretty patient and forbearing.

Even at one year old, Izzy had no hair. It’s slowly started to come in and was worth the wait. She now has huge crazy ringlets.

What a blessing this little girl has been! We’re so thankful for her and look forward to many more years of laughing with her!

B&K ~ You have done an amazing job parenting you kids! It is sadly rare to have teenage kids that LOVE their parents. Before the session I was talking to the kids about their mom, and they totally lit up. “Yeah, our mom is SO MUCH FUN!!” It shows in your family and shows on their faces. I hope to meet you again sometime!

Usually, I am a natural light photographer. I love to shoot outdoors – especially in fields with long grass, trees, fallen logs, and gorgeous afternoon sun. BUT sometimes our special memories are indoors, like Cora’s nursery.

Cora’s room is rich with gifts from loving friends and family, and treasures from her parent’s childhood. Before her room changed from a baby nursery to a little toddler room, we needed to record these memories! Seeing some of her toys took me back — who else wanted a puffalump when they were little?

One of my favorite things with little girls this age is sitting to read them books. I love that Jennie does that too!

After we gave Cora a baby paparazzi break, we took her outside to say hi to her doggies. I love love love this hairclip that Jennie found! I laughed when I learned that it was found on etsy, one of my favorite places for special and gorgeous handmade accessories. Jennie has great taste!! And the blue ballerina skirt? Love it too!

Cora needed a warmer outfit, so we did a quick clothing break and concluded with a few fun family shots.

Now Danica is a super cute BABY with her own expressions and showing personality. She’s definitely not a newborn anymore!

This is her big sister, Delany. She is super smart, loves her family, and is already learning to be musical just like her parents.

Hats?! LOVE it. They draw your attention to focus on the beautiful, sparkling eyes.

We moved houses over the summer and I still can’t believe how close I live to this great shooting location. I love the sun, the grass and the trees!

My favorite, favorite, favorite image from the session. Did I mention that I love this image??
Delany is such a good big sister. She was so gentle as she held her baby sister. D – thanks for letting your babies sit right on the ground in the field! I love the natural look – without a blanket covering up the pretty green grass.

Here’s the whole beautiful family!

Another favorite image from the session. They both look amazing!

Dualy has fantastic fashion sense. I love how she has their outfits coordinate, but definitely are not matchy-matchy. If anyone needs help choosing clothing, I’ll just give you her number. (just kidding!!)

Thank you for a great session! I love doing family pictures for you!

Love it! Every couple should have a photo where you’re smiling at each other!!

Like most teens, going on a photo shoot isn’t their favorite thing. I think its because I tell corny jokes. Well, at least they looked happy. They were probably thinking about the Chipotle dinner that was coming afterwards.

I could take pictures of Julianne all day. Her jawline, gorgeous green and amber eyes, and the highlights in her thick hair!! I love the soft, muted colors in this one. There’s plenty of her smiling, but for some reason I really like this one.

Thank you for asking me to capture these memories for your family. I can’t wait to see which one you choose to frame!

While I know that the “regular photos” of kids giving hugs is what we put up on our walls, I love taking and having the photos of kids playing and being real. Even as they’re tackling each other, you can see how much fun these brothers have together and how much they love each other.

Allison was such a huge help to me during the session! As I was showing the smaller kids what I wanted them to do, she would pose with me to help them. Can you come along on my other shoots?! Plus, she’s beautiful!!

Okay, I know I’m supposed to show the next one in color, but for some reason, I just love this one in black and white!

What will they do when this smart older sister goes to college someday?? I think they’re going to miss her a TON!

Thanks E&M for asking me to capture these memories for you. You have four FANTASTIC kids!!

We opted to do Henry’s session outdoors at a park, that way we could also get some natural “outdoorsy” shots too. Henry isn’t really sitting up on his own yet, but you could have fooled me with this next image. I think we caught him at just the right moment.

I also think he looks super cute lounging in his basket, though . . .

We wrapped up with a few family photos.

Thanks C&K! Henry is so precious and it was a joy to meet your family!!

Big Brother came to check her out. I think he decided that he likes her.

It’s always amazing how quickly they grow. Just a little over a year ago, big brother would have fit inside of this bowl!

As we were getting her ready for this part of the shoot, she woke up for just a bit. Doesn’t she look like she’s just watching and thinking about it all?

There’s something about baby feet that I just LOVE!

Isn’t she just adorable?!

J&R – It was such a joy to spend time with you and to get to capture these precious times for your family! ~Beth

I LOVE her sparkly eyes here!

She already has good taste in shoes!

Can she get any cuter? Sitting and crossing her ankles for me? Really??

Aren’t they a cute family?! Cora has the biggest grin here!

Rustic, vintage, classic. Yep – I love it. Even more so because it includes Cora’s special bear.

Cora’s honorary auntie and uncle joined us for a few special photos and I couldn’t resist taking one just of them as a couple in the beautiful sun glow.

And by the end, I think Cora was saying, “Goodnight everyone! I’m happy with my blanket and ready to go to sleep!”
