The last time I saw the McKinzey family was for little Aaron’s newborn session back in early January. My how he’s grown since then! He’s almost walking, and both he and Avery were so sweet during their holiday session. I say it all the time, but I love that this job affords me the opportunity to check in on various friends and document their growing families over the years!
Sadie Kate is 3 months! Last weekend was my first time meeting this little doll, and I’ve been so excited to do so, as I’ve known her parents since college. My sweet handyman husband constructed a portable white light backdrop for my holiday baby sessions, and I’m thrilled with how it turned out. Doesn’t Sadie Kate make the most adorable Santa baby?
I’ve known the Arden/Redmond/Brown family for quite a few years now, and it’s been such a joy watching their little ones grow, with more of them being added to the crew. The three Arden siblings (including 5yr old twins) are such a hoot and they each have fun, different personalities. I’ve watched their cousins, the two littlest ones, literally grow from day one. And they have the most proud, loving parents and grandparents. These little maniacs certainly gave me a run for my money during our session, but I had the best time. It’s quite an honor to get to photograph families of all shapes and sizes, but it’s the most special when I get to capture memories for those friends who feel like family of my own.
When the Suenaga Family arrived for their family holiday session last weekend, Mr. Cade was a bit shy…. but you’d never know it from these photos! After a few minutes of talking about the fire trucks and airplanes that he wants for Christmas, he opened right up and gave us lots of smiles (for Santa, as we told him). I have so many favorite parts of owning a photography business, but one of them is meeting new people (and their adorable children) and getting to know them long after their session has ended.
Devon and I met at the start of our freshman year in college at UGA. We lived on the same hall together, but lost touch in the years after that. Thanks to my business with Stella & Dot, we rekindled our friendship, and she joined my team as a Stylist. It’s been so fun getting to know her better and meeting her husband Nate. They have two adorable fur babies, and we had the best time wandering around one the lakes in their neighborhood (yes, IN their neighborhood!), hiking through the woods, and being silly.
