Lifestyle sessions are a huge joy for me to capture. I pride myself on being like a paparazzi photographer. It sounds weird, but that's what it feels like. For lifestyle sessions I'm a photographer who follows my clients around for an hour or more and just captures everybody in their element. That's exactly what I did with this incredibly kind hearted and gorgeous family. I mean look below at how precious those two littles are and how loving their parents are, my job was easy! I also truly appreciated that they were open to my ideas. If you are a long time client of mine or just notice this about me, I always get these ideas randomly any moment and desperately try to produce what I'm envisioning. The Kirkendalls let me do that and then of course had some adorable ideas as well.
































To say I could have spent hours capturing these two is an understatement. I could have spent the whole day. They are so genuinely sweet, kind, and IN LOVE! What a dream to capture these first time parents as they await their baby girl entering this world. We loved walking around their property and seeing what ideas I could find. It was so hard to narrow down these sneak peeks for the blog. I wanted to post every single one.








































I have really enjoyed photographing this beautiful girl every 3 months leading up to her cake smash. She's a ham and super easy to photograph. I feel so lucky their parents asked me to document her first year and look forward to capturing more for them. Annabelle you are so easy to make smile and such a joy to be around.

One of my very first cake smashes was this sweet pea's big sister Autumn. I just adore this family. I can't imagine if I thought Savannah's first year flew by, what do her parents and family think!? I could have sworn I was just taking her newborn pictures. I'll post some of my favorites below.

For it being the one day that week it was cold and little sun, this little beauty rocked her session. Her favorite part? Clearly the cake smash! Aren't her eyes and smile just amazing? Also please note her adorable vintage attire. Simply beautful. Gorgeous princess crowns by LITTLEPRETTIESSHOP on Instagram.



























When I first started chatting with Jaymie about her upcoming family shoot, I couldn't help but feel super relaxed and excited. I adored her from just speaking to her, so when I finally got to meet her, I almost had to remind myself you actually hadn't met her in person before. She's down to earth and obviously gorgeous and her husband and daughter complete her. I truly enjoyed every moment of fighting for smiles and coming up with different shot ideas in my head. Freddy is an amazing father and so patient and Adelynn is beyond beautiful that even just her staring at me face was fine by me. Below are some of my favorites.
