Photographs are such a wonderful thing.  You can relive a single day - a moment even - over and over. 

Like this day - my two babies, lounging around.  Just being themselves, loving on each other and loving life.

Seriously - these kids run my life.  And I love it

This family of four is one of my favorites to photograph.  They are so genuine and wonderful with their children.  I love watching them interact - they make parenting look so fun and easy :) 

E & E - I have SO many favorites from your session, but here’s just a peek at a few of them!

The most common question I get asked by clients is “What should we wear?”  You may remember when I introduced the What to Wear Guide last year.  One of my favorite clothing companies is Mini Boden, so I wanted to share some of my favorite pieces from their fall line.  These are just to give you some fun ideas for your session - you might even be able to find similar pieces locally!   Many of you have fall sessions coming up, so these ideas are just for you :)  {Don’t worry, if you don’t see your little one’s size…just keep scrolling :)}

Here are my top picks!  First up, girls size 1 1/2yr - 12 yr:

 

Love this Pretty Party Dress - and it would look perfect paired with this sweet cardigan and these leggings.  Can’t you just see little ballet flats, too?

 

I LOVE the movement of this Gypsy Skirt .  It’s feminine and playful - perfect for twirling :).  To keep her little legs warm at your fall session, try adding these adorable tights.

  

On a more causual side, these heart patch trousers are so fun!    These would add a great punch of color to your photos, while keeping your little girl comfy at the same time.  Best of all is the adjustable waistband - so she can continue to wear them all winter long

 Ok, mamas of boys…your turn:  (If you have a baby, keep scrolling)

Boden has some of my favorite tees for boys - check these out:

Rock T-shirt

Road Trip T-shirt

 

 

If you don’t want to go the t-shirt route…

The Vintage Layered Polo - not as causual as a tee, but with the scruffed up edges, it’s still boyish and fun :)  I’m lovin the red, but all three colors are great!

 

Ok, I saved the best for last….babies :)  It was SO difficult to narrow down my fave Boden picks for babies - it’s all SO cute! 

For girls only…

 This Pretty Pinafore is a modern spin on the traditional pinafore dress.  I am loving the gold, but the vibrant red is gorgeous as well.  Very fallish and perfect for Christmas card photos!  The layered look pictured is super cute, and is perfect for chilly fall mornings.

 

You really can’t find anything sweeter than a baby in a one-peice romper… 

Velour Romper (in boy & girl prints)

 

Applique Romper - how cute is that dragon? (adorable girl print available as well here)

 

Knitted Romper - sweet little buttons and super soft cashmere blend make this romper dressy enough for any occasion.  See detail here.

Last but not least…accessories go a long way!  Your little one could be wearing a potato sack, but throw on this hat = instant adorableness.  (Yes, I just made up that word.) 

find it here.

 

Those are my top picks from Boden - have fun browsing their site, and I hope this gives you some fun, vibrant ideas for your session this fall!

 xo,

S

 Here’s a little cutie from today’s session…she & her parents live on the most beautiful property.  We decided to meet early today - 7:30am! - but it was worth it, because now it is 93 and muggy :)  Thanks K family for welcoming me into your home.  Your love for your little girl is so apparent…she is very blessed

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing a super fun family at our county fair Just so happens the momma is a dear friend of mine as well as a photog herself. She suggested we meet at the fair and swap some family shots…and I’m so glad we did! It was a blast, even if I did get some funny looks with two cameras around my neck following a family around like paparazzi ;)  Seriously though, this is what lifestyle sessions are all about - capturing everyday moments with your family that you want to hold onto forever. 

Here’s my faves from these little girls’ first trip to the fair…

Warning - snapshot alert! Charlotte got a pool for her birthday, so yesterday we christened it - a morning swim with her cousin and BFF Drew. They were having so much fun and being so cute, I just had to snap some shots of them.
