CANDID FAMILY PHOTOS OUTSIDE PHIPPS

THE D FAMILY – LILY IS ONE!

I can’t think of a better family to bring my blog back to life! It’s been a while since I’ve shared a session. Doesn’t mean that amazing families, bumps, and babies haven’t been in front of my camera… oh no! It just means that my regular weekly blogging took a back seat to MORE families in front of my camera… more time with my family and our brand new pup… more time at the gym… more time going easier on me “the boss” when life got a little crazy!

I’ll never be able to catch up on all of the families I photographed this Summer (maybe I’ll sprinkle some into the blog schedule in the coming months), so I’m diving into recent sessions with a really special one.

Maternity. Newborn. Milestone Months. One Year!   These parents let me in and allowed me to document it all. There is nothing more awesome than watching this happen in a series of galleries. It’s incredible and I love knowing that they can look back on any of the times we got together and feel what that phase of life was for them.

Sweet Lily. My goodness, I just adore this girl. I feel so lucky to know her and her parents. We watched her personality grow as big as her adorable grin. From tiny baby rolls to letting go of her mamas hand to stand-wobble on her own. It’s been a special year – a true joy to look back on!

Hey, D Family – I think you guys are so great.

*Love this look? Lily’s mama used my complimentary client access to a wardrobe coordination site… and nailed it! She said it was super easy and the result is gorgeous!! Incredible, right?!

No added to-dos, just added memories to your life.

You’re busier than you ever thought you’d be. Between chasing toddlers around, work commitments, mastering the art of diaper changes, herding kids to practice, and trying to get some me time, it’s hard to imagine adding anything to your plate.

As a mama of two, I get it!

I'm here to simplify the photography process for you so you can keep focusing on what you need to.
