This years spring mini sessions were inspired with neutral tones, clean and simple is what I like to refer it too.

My niece Avery will be turning 3 very soon. Usually I photograph her with backdrops and studio lighting but this time I wanted to step out of my box and capture some lifestyle photos of her. I decluttered my bed and opened the blinds to find the perfect amount of sunlight glowing towards her face.

Baby Noah came to my studio with his mom and dad within the first week of his life. He slept the whole time except towards the end when he decided to see what was going on. Noah is part of the "Watch me Grow" baby session which is exciting that I will see him for 6 months and when he turns 1.

Sandra is one of those "moms-to-be" that is just glowing from head to toe. Her smile in every photo is just beautiful. When I am expecting my first child I hope to look just like her, however I picture myself to waddle the whole time:) This is Josh and Sandra's first child and the love that is already shown for this baby is amazing. They are going to be great parents!
In May, I will be looking forward to meeting their baby girl who they have named Amelia but in the meantime please take a look at this "mom-to-be", her growing belly, and of course soon to be daddy!

A few days later after sanitizing door knobs and any props we may use for her, they came over and we were able to get some great family portraits and of course of just Ella. During their session, I wanted to keep Ella's condition quiet and just focus on her like any other session. I wanted her to feel extra special for one day without any worries. While photographing her, I learned that she has the sweetest smile, the prettiest eyes and she is full of strength and braveness. I have to admit she made me smile the whole time. One line that made me smile was when after about 10 minutes of her session she said, "Can we go to Culver's now?" I guess she was hungry and I know how I get when I am hungry too.
This session has touched my heart in so many ways. I could not imagine going through anything like this. I don't have children of my own but the thought of a small children being so brave to fight for her life brings sadness to my heart. I ask everyone to please pray for Ella as she and her family go through this horrible time in their life. I know I added them to my prayer list. With this being said, Ella's mom encourages everyone why it is so important to get professional portraits taken on a regular basis. Please don't hesitate to call me or another photographer in the area to capture at least 1 great family portrait to hang on your wall. These portraits will last a lifetime and I promise you, you wont regret it.
