Lincoln - Quad Cities Newborn Photographer

And then there were 5...5 boys!

Erin and Wade gave  birth to their 5th boy, Lincoln a couple of weeks ago and I got to snap some pictures of them when he was still only 16 hours new!  I love sessions like this, in the hospital, of babies fresh from God.

It was nice to get some pictures of these two in the peace and quiet of their room with their littlest man...though I can't wait until the spring when I get to photograph their entire brood! :)

I love all of the little features on babies!  And Lincoln has a serious head of hair!

The photo session tired him out! ;)  It's tough being a model!

Congratulation Wade, Erin, Gavin, Cooper, Quinn and Beckham on your newest family member!  He is so gorgeous and perfect!  Can't wait to see you all in the spring for your family pictures!

Monroe is 6 months old - Quad Cities Baby Photographer

Oh my how I love this girl!  I watched her come into this world and cannot believe that she is now 6 months old!!!

What a beauty!

I love 6 months...they are adorable and smiley and chubby and eat their feet...

They drool all over the place....I love my a drooly picture!

They are usually not able to get around yet very quickly, but still have so much personality!

This little girl is perfect...

Oh, Monroe...how did you become 6 months old already?!?!  Can't wait to watch you grow and change even more!

Love you, Sweet Girl!

Hudson is 1! - Quad Cities Children Photographer

You all likely recognize this little man's gorgeous face by now!  I have had the pleasure of documenting not only his birth and images of his family meeting him for the first time, but his newborn, 3, 6 and 9 month photos as well as his first birthday party!

He is such a gorgeous little boy!  I could snuggle him all day long!

He loves his Elmo! :)

Love these smiles!

And then we brought the cake out...

Not so sure...

He didn't like the cake and his mom and grandma tried to make him see just how good it was...

We were all laughing SO HARD...everyone, but Hudson! Ha!

They were determined to get him to eat it and he was determined to NOT eat the cake! SO hysterical!

At least someone was interested in eating the cake...

Happy Birthday, Sweet Hudson!  You make my heart smile and it has been so fun photographing your first year!

Hudson's 1st Birthday Party - Quad Cities Event Photographer

Hudson had the most adorable Elmo 1st Birthday Party!

His Mama did it up right!  There were tons of wonderful family and friends there to celebrate Hudson turning one and it was a pleasure for me to photograph the event. :)

The cake was amazing and since the Coberlys are so fantastic...they even let me have some and I must say, it TASTED just as good as it looked!

Hudson was showered with wonderful gifts...

And all of the sweet guests looked on as he opened them...

After some play time, it was time for cake!

We all sang "Happy Birthday" and awaited Hudson's big mess he would make!

He seemed pretty excited at first...

"uh, wait a minute...I'm not so sure about this"

And then this happened and it was just about the cutest thing ever!

So Hudson got a little break.  He wasn't into eating cake AT ALL.  They let him calm down and the guests started eating dessert...

YUM!  The cake was good, Hudson was calm now...let's try and give him a cupcake!

Nope...NOT interested!

There is a slight chance he was a bit tired and there was not a shortage of loved ones to cuddle him!

We grabbed a few more pictures because we knew he was about to crash!

The lovely grandmas in his life...

And the Grandpas too!

Some Mommy and Daddy love...

...and this birthday boy was OUT!

He is fiercely loved by so many, that is for sure!  It has been a pleasure to photograph the milestones in this sweeties 1st year and I look forward to continuing to capture images of him as he grows!

Happy Birthday, Hudson!
