Storybook Photography: A Sweet Family Session

I have been super busy with my Storybook Photography business and I couldn't be more thrilled. I love photography and getting to take photos for people. They are memories for them that will last a lifetime and I am so grateful to be a part of that.

James and Jamie are close friends of ours, so I was super excited when Jamie asked me if I would take some family pictures for them now that their little baby Jack has been added to their family. Their sweet boys, Sam and Jack, are just too cute and we had so much fun taking these photos. We met up in old town St. Charles, which is so pretty down by the riverfront. Here are a few of my favorites from their session.

Fun Firsts

Both of my kiddos experienced a first this week. 

Jackson had his first day of preschool for the 2014/2015 school year on Tuesday (September 2nd). He is in the Sunshine Class this year with Miss Becky and Miss Mary. He had a fun first day and hopefully he has a great school year!


Then yesterday evening (September 3rd) I gave Avery her first taste of Rice Cereal. She wasn't sure if she liked it at first, but after a few bites and getting the hang of eating off a spoon, she really enjoyed it. She was a mess afterwards, of course, but I'm so happy she liked it. She ended up eating the whole bowl and would get excited when she knew she was getting another bite. :-)

Storybook Photography - Millie's One Year Farm Session

Two weekends ago, I had my first repeat session. I met this little cutie when she was just a baby and I was delighted when her mom called and wanted me to take her 1 year pictures. :-) Little Millie is absolutely adorable and we had the PERFECT backdrop... her Grandmother's farm. It was SO much fun. A photographers dream really. An adorable toddler + a perfect farm location + a beautiful summer evening = gorgeous photos. Definitely one of my favorite sessions to date. 


A sucker gets a smile every time. :-)


This old blue truck just happened to be on the property and my heart skipped a beat when I saw it. I just LOVE it!!

Too cute for words!

(Monday night, Jackson wanted the baby to lay in his bed with him. ♥)

Favorite Photo Friday

This week has been super busy, so I'm sorry I haven't posted much. I do have a pretty cute picture to share though. I took this Monday night and I think it turned out pretty stinkin cute!! She is such a butterball and I just love it.



I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
