we had the most beautiful fall day for miss ellie’s one year shoot…her big brown eyes sparkled in the sunlight and she was a perfect little model for our photo session.  i enjoyed meeting her parents who are also fellow iowans.  :)  thank you angie and jason…it was great to meet you three.  ellie is very sweet and so so darling.  oh, and i cannot forget your other furry baby who was so well behaved during our session.

this little baby girl is irresistible.  :)  and, oh how i love all of the perfect chunkiness of these little loves.  and, i cannot forget the feet…baby feet…yummy. i have known hazel’s mommy for a long time and it was really nice to reconnect with her and meet her beautiful family.  while looking through these photos, please notice how daddy is looking at his bride in the one photo below…so sweet.  :)  i really love stopping these special moments in time.  more to come moore family.  enjoy looking at your beautiful hazel.

i had the pleasure of meeting owen and olivia recently and i love, love, love the first two photos below.  mmmm…mmmmm…just so sweet.  as you can see, mr. owen likes his sister and his guitar and i think he is definitely on his way to being a future rock-star.  :)  little olivia and her blond locks is as cute as can be.  it was so nice to meet you krista and jason.

a dreary fall day and lots of  biting bugs did not stop us from having a lot of fun playing in at the park.  ;)  nick and penelope were full of cute energy and sibling love.  it was great to finally meet you H family!  we waited along time for our session!

what a fun session and a beautiful evening…i love all the smiles.  such happy little girls and adorable personalities.  i see this family a lot…kaylie is in my little girl’s preschool class.  she is always so sweet and always smiling.  celia is full of spunk and personality and i lOVE that!  :)  as you can see below, our evening ended in the water fountain…a perfect way to end a summer evening!   thank you to the nelson family…such fun!
