Rae is TWO - Quad Cities Children Photographer

I can't even handle the cuteness and fun that happened during Rae's 2 year session!

Those pants, her style, her personality, her face...it was all just too much!

Her mom brought all of her favorite things so that the images would capture exactly who she is during this season of her life.  Loved that!



These babies...they are her crew.  All 3 together, they stay that way...not separate, together!



BFF's...


Her big birthday gift...a big girl scooter!



Bubbles!


Rae is ALWAYS on the move...and so the slippery floor was a bit of a problem!  Ha!  Not really though, she hopped right back up!


And one of the greatest things I have ever gotten to photograph...a little girl marking ALL OVER her face and body with marker.  She loves to do it and something tells me she won't ALWAYS love doing this, so the fact that her mom wanted me to capture it in pictures was awesome!



"Here sister, let me help!"



While she helped, she decided to mark on her face a bit too!



And with that, the session was over!


Oh, Sweet Rae...I had so much fun photographing this little peanut!  SOOO much fun!  Thank you, Caitlin for being so laid back...it made for the best pictures!  Happy Birthday, Rae!

Morgan - Quad Cities Newborn Photographer

It was so great to snuggle with this beautiful girl all morning the other day!  She was so sleepy and sweet and 12 days new!


Baby smiles are like the best thing ever!


Jenna was such an incredibly calm and laid back first time mother.  She was such a joy to spend my morning with and chat with!


All I can think of when I see this picture is "In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight..."


Perfection...



A mother's love is so beautiful...



Such a perfect little sweetie...



Thank you, Jenna for spending time with me and letting me capture your beautiful baby girl in pictures.  It was such a joy to meet you and photograph you both!

Mother and Daughter - Quad Cities Family Photographer

The love between a mother and her child is something so special and emotional and it always makes for really great pictures.  So when Melissa contacted me to photograph her with her daughter, Perla, I was thrilled!  I met their family in the fall and had so much fun with them, I was so happy to photograph them again, this time, just the two of them. :)


Look at that face!  So stinkin' adorable!








LOVE!

Peek-a-boo!






I had so much fun with you two!  Thank you for making my job so easy and giving me the opportunity to capture your love!
