If I can make it through this year, I am going to try to do it every year. I had grand plans of blogging these pics every week, but I am now just getting around to posting the last 13 weeks. Better late than never.

I can’t believe how fast 2011 went by! I also can’t believe how hard this post was to put together, I have so many favorites! I will be posting more on my Facebook page soon, I still have to blog some of these sessions.

Thank you SO much to those that have supported me along the way,  my clients, fans, family, and friends. This dream would be nothing without all of you. I grew so much as a photographer and a business owner in 2011, I can’t wait to see what 2012 holds!

One of my favorite families! This was little man’s 9 month shoot, how cute is he?!

This was a fun cake smash from this summer. Ms. M did a fantastic job on smashing up her cake.

When it was just the four of us, we always felt something was missing. With the addition of you to the family, we now know what we were missing. One more sweet, silly, baby boy.

With you, you bring a ray of sunshine everywhere you go. You make every day so much more enjoyable, its hard to remember our lives before you.

No matter if your one or twenty-one, you will always be my beloved Judah bear.

Happy Birthday baby boy!

I have been taking pictures of Judah every month now since his birth. This photo shoot was a little different, I am actually in the photos! I asked my husband to snap a few pictures of me and Judah, and he did a great job.

As much as I don’t really like being on the other end of the camera, I do think it is important that I am actually in some of the photos. I want to be able to look back someday and remember how a baby looked in my arms. And I want my boys to have those memories as well. So if your a mom that’s always behind the camera, please remember to include yourself in a photo from time to time. You’ll thank yourself later.

The Y family, what can I say I love them. They were some of my very first clients, and have been such huge supporters of my business since day one. We always have such a fun time together, and I can’t wait for the 6 month shoot!

These pictures also mark little mans 3 month birthday. They grow too fast!

This session was so much fun! Ms. M was on her best behavior, and was so willing to sit among the flowers. Mom and Dad are so fun to photograph. They come with some of their own poses and ideas, and are great at getting their little one look into the camera.

If you want your own wildflower session, you can find the info here.

I can’t believe my baby boy is seven months old! That means there is only five more months until he is one….eeep! Where does the time go?

I give my husband a bit a grief for some of the things he holds onto, but when I discovered this crate tucked away in his room…I knew I had to do a peach themed photo shoot. I was so glad my husband held onto this crate. We took the pictures on the lawn at the Thomas Center…their grass is greener than mine.

I wanted to get a bunch of cute pictures of all the boys together, but my middle son Ezra had other plans…like crying and whining. Why is it so much harder to photograph my own kids? I still adore the one shot I did get of all of them.

You have seen Ms. M and her family one other time here, for her 3 month session. I love doing these milestone sessions, its so fun to watch the babies grow.

We met at the Thomas Center which is also where Mom and Dad were married! Mom brought along a pinwheel for Ms. M, she wanted to eat it. It was too cute.

Such a beautiful baby and family, I can’t wait for our 9 month session!
