This lifestyle shoot came about in a backwards kind of way. Originally it was a day my daughter actually WANTED to go outside and take pictures. I had an idea in my head for the shot I wanted so I quick dressed her and we got ready to go outside. Except when we looked out the window we noticed it was pouring rain. I decided we’d wait for a little while and see if the rain would stop.

At first Maddie was ok with waiting.

But as the waiting continued she started getting impatient and sad.

So what’s a mommy to do? Say screw it and go outside in the rain to play. 🙂 Everyone should play in the rain more, don’t you think? So we played. And we danced. And we jumped in puddles. And it turned out these lifestyle pictures were more real and fun than what I had intended anyway.

Meet beautiful Olivia! I was so thrilled to be asked to take her First Communion portraits during my mini sessions. We had a beautiful warm morning and she was such a pleasure to photograph. I love the dresses and accessories little girls wear, right down to their adorable matching shoes! Plus Olivia was up for everything; sitting down, leaning against the fence, etc. all while wearing her dress. Made it fun for me!

Did I mention how beautiful she is?

I love maternity photography. At all stages, pregnancy is such a fun and beautiful stage to photograph and document.

Sometimes you wait so long for that bump that you just want to document all the stages. Sometimes it’s not even your own bump, but belongs to your best friend. Either way, it’s special. This is just a peek at the little belly. It’s still early so there will be more to come.

Meet gorgeous Isabella, the second of my First Communion mini sessions. I’ve watched this girl grow up over the internet from the time she was born, but this was the first time I got my hands on her to photograph. She was a natural. So easy photograph and so comfortable in front of the camera! She was a perfect model. Her First Communion portraits were perfectly easy, and when she changed for less formal pictures we had even more fun. Her little sister Marley took a little longer to warm up to the camera, but I got some great pics of her too. Such a fun session with these beautiful girls!!

Oh, and did I mention her sass? Love it!!

The first of my First Communion mini’s started off with this beautiful family. When I first decided to offer Communion mini sessions I left it up to each family to decide if they wanted to bring a change of clothes for after the Communion portraits. That way we could take some super quick family pictures at the same session. I think it’s so important to get updated family pictures so I try to offer it (and nudge families towards it) as much as possible. 😉 I was very happy when they tok me up on my offer and showed up all dressed nicely for some updated pictures.

I adore this shot. What a beautiful family.

Then it was time to change Joey to get his real portraits done. What a little stud. He knew exactly what to do and made this whole session very easy.
