I met up with this beautiful and fun family on the most GORGEOUS spring day this weekend to photograph their whole extended family. Three kids, three grandkids, a great family – they have much to celebrate and be thankful for on this Mother’s Day week! We let the kids run wild around the park while stopping to catch the pretty light in different spots, and then to let them be themselves. This family was so full of love and laughter – I could have hung around them all day. Enjoy these sneak peeks of this beautiful family!

Siena is 2 months old already and every day we find more things to love about her. She is SUCH a sweetheart – she rarely cries and loves being cuddled and held. She is a great eater, the best sleeper, and has started dishing out lots of smiles. She is getting more beautiful every day and her eyes are turning from what we thought were brown to a deep sapphire blue. I’m excited to see where they’ll end up! Her hair is coming in thicker and is still dark brown, and she’s growing like crazy!

Big bro Heath is doing awesome too. He’s in three different summer ‘camps’ (an art class, a general movement class, and a soccer class – which is going to be hilarious) and is loving getting outside in the warmer weather. He loves kissing his sister on the head, being an extremely picky eater, and being rocked to sleep by his daddy. He is very sweet as long as you dont want to try to share his toys…which we’re working on. In fact I believe in this photo he is holding a rattle that Siena had just been playing with…typical. Two years old can be a challenge but he makes it worthwhile.

I first met this beautiful family two years ago for their fall session with (then) baby Noah. He is now the proud big brother to adorable little newborn Emerson and I had the family out to my studio to photograph her newborn session. We ventured outside into the beautiful weather for a chance for some family photos, and for Noah to run around and play – and in about 2 minutes he managed to find several sticks, lots of buttercup flowers, and had a butterfly land on his finger. He is still a totally happy boy and his new little sister was a dream to photograph. She has the cutest features and the sweetest personality already. I loved meeting her and seeing how she is so loved by everyone!

Enjoy these sneak peeks!

First up meet new baby Emerson:

I cant believe it myself, but my newborn baby girl is getting close to not being a newborn anymore. She’s inching more towards the ‘infant’ stage and has started smiling, cooing, getting pissed when her brother tries to jump on her (rightly so), and developing a strong preference for her mom to hold her ALL.THE.TIME. I always joked when Heath was little that I wished I had a clingy baby because Heath would literally jump out of my arms and into strangers’ in the middle of a grocery store. No seriously, that actually happened when he was 6 months old, and I am still a bit miffed over it all. Siena though is a total mama’s girl and while I secretly do love cuddling with her, it has been tough to get much done besides that. She is growing like crazy and I’ve already had to retire her newborn clothing. Heath is so sweet with her, and the other day I overheard her start to cry and could hear Heath walk over to her and kiss her head over and over. I am excited to see them grow up together because they already have such a sweet bond.

Here are a few photos I took tonight in the buttercup field outside of my studio. The bed is a vintage doll bed I borrowed from my grandmother and I love the mix of rustic and delicate vintage here!
