Grant // 6 Months

// Author: Lauren // 0 Comments

I know I’ve mentioned a few times – I adore photographing newborns. You know what else I love? When they come back to visit throughout their first year! They grow so much in that first year. Ideally, I’d love to photograph them every month, or 3 months. But if I can catch them at newborn, 6 months, and a year – I am one happy photog!

I was so excited when Grant’s momma contacted me for some 6 month photos. His eyes were so blue and his facial expression – OH MY GOODNESS>>> he was cracking me up.

Ava {1st Bday + Cake Smash}

The other day someone asked me what I liked to photograph the most – I never have a straight answer, I love it all, but I always say 1st Birthday’s! That one never changes. I LOVE the innocence of a child and watching their reaction to the special treat in front of them.

Ava did not disappoint. She was absolutely gorgeous, gentle, and precious!

Easter Mini’s (w/ baby chicks) 2014

It is that time of year again – Easter Mini Sessions! YAY. I have to admit these are my FAVORITE sessions, because seeing the children’s reactions to the chicks is always sooooooooooo much fun! So here is a sneak peek of my day in the studio with the kiddos and chicks.

Antonio – Oh my word. His facial expressions had me laughing so hard when I loaded his pictures! These are only 3 out of 20!

Carly & Olivia – These two are pro’s at my Mini Sessions by now and I love it. They are also great chicken wranglers! & I always capture lots of silly faces that keep me laughing while editing.

Ellie- This was my first time meeting this sweet little girl and she was ADORABLE. So sweet and slightly scared of the chicks but she held one like a pro and posed like a model.

Emma-   This sweet little one stopped by and she just happened to be exactly 5 months old! She had grown so much since I captured her at 5 days old. Such a sweet treat to see her. She was just precious & BEAUTIFUL blue eyes.

Madison – I was so excited to have this sweet little girl stop by again with her beautiful curly hair. She did great with the chicks and even brought her bunny with her. I loved it.

Paxton- Seriously, he was a natural at just 5 months old! He looked at the camera and grinned. I could photograph him everyday! & He did so well with the chicks for such a young age. Oooohhh, and the bunny ears & tail…. adorable.
