CAT | Babies
Our dear friends, the Kerns have added to their family!! Meet Jackson Patrick Kern who was born on August 18th at a whopping 10lbs and 13oz!! (Kim, you are amazing!)
What a sweetie.
Ah! The light in their dining room was just dreamy.
John Bubby (as my daughter calls him) is such a sweet big brother!
While baby Jackson caught up on his beauty sleep, John Bubby and I went outside to play a bit (and take some pictures to celebrate his recent birthday). What a bundle of fun this kid is!
Two things: They had written “No Girls Allowed” on their playhouse, and I wasn’t about to break that rule…and yes, I am that hilarious
It wouldn’t be a complete day for this boy without playing ball. He’s a natural for sure.
LOVE this picture. He looks like such a big boy!
Oh Kerns, you are fabulous. Thank you for letting me hang out with your kiddos for the afternoon. I’m so glad that we’re friends!

I have been looking forward to writing this blog post for several years now…what makes this one so special? It is infinitely special because with much joy, I get to introduce you to Mae Brook Burgess!!! Remember my friends Mike and Danielle from this post…since then they have been blessed to adopt this sweet little lovey. I get so teary looking at these pictures. We have been praying for this little gal for a long time.
Doesn’t this family look so perfect?! Maeby was definitely made to be a Burgess.
Look at that hair! She’s so gorgeous!
It’s seriously so amazing to see these guys as parents. They were pretty stinking awesome before…this addition to their resume just makes them even more amazing.
OH I just can’t handle how cute she is!
“Good Looks Run in the Family”…so awesome.
Guys, I just can’t tell you how much you have blessed us over the years, and I’m SO excited to see you blessed now by this sweet Maeby baby. She was born to be a Burgess and you were made to be her parents…*tear*.
We love you guys, and can’t wait to see how much fun you’ll have with this joyful little gal.
Now let’s see if I can recover from the tears and goosebumps that I got looking through these pictures of you guys…sheesh.

I have some of the CUTEST nieces and nephews on the planet. We were due for another photo update for them, so we spent an evening playing in the gorgeous evening sunlight.
Here’s Vince, the amazing little boy that started it all. I will always melt for my Vinnie.
Geesh…my Holly Pop is such a beauty. This gal has personality and a half. Never change, my love.
Here’s sweet tiny Tessa, the latest edition to the family. She’s such a doll baby.
And I guess their parents are pretty cool too. Many know this, but I’ll go ahead and tell the story again. Heather is my sister. Aaron is my husband’s brother. That’s right. Sisters married brothers. No, it’s not incest…no, it’s not weird. It’s just makes family gatherings more convenient and awesome.
Yay! I’m so glad that I have new pics for my walls…oh and for theirs too.
Thanks for allowing me to do my thing. I love you guys!

I love watching little kiddos grow. I know…obvious statement, but really. I took pics of this little cutie back in the Spring, and what a little sweetie he has grown up to be!
Another thing that I love…in home sessions. There is nothing more fun than hanging out with a little one in their element. They are definitely way more at ease….which makes my job a whole lot easier!






One extra special thing that took place during this session, was that both sets of his grandparents (who live out of state) were able to join us! I caught Dallas enjoying some snuggle and play time with each grandparent. So sweet.



This is one loved baby!



This kid is a cutie…and I think he knows it…

Happy First Birthday, Dallas!! You are one blessed kiddo!
A big thanks to the Hines family for letting me play with you all!
You know those days where you just stare…you have plenty to do and lots of people to talk to…but you have nothing to say.
So you just sit….
I feel that way today, and as I sorted through the pictures of sweet little Dallas’s first birthday shoot I found this one and couldn’t not share…he apparently shared my sentiments at that moment in time.

More to come of this little birthday boy…if I can ever break out of this daze!

There isn’t anything more adorable than a baby…so how about two!? Talk about cuteness overload.
These boys weren’t really enthused by my presence but that didn’t make a difference. They are just too darn sweet.

Oh seriousness.


I love this. I’ll be honest, I had a really hard time telling these two apart because they look exactly alike! BUT take a look at this…they were both settling down to rest and both clasped their hands…just in different ways. Just another reminder that even identical twins have their own little personalities that are totally unique!

Love love love this picture.


Two adorable little boys. Two sweet little faces. Two blessed parents.
Thanks for hanging out with me, Paxtons! I can’t wait for you to see the rest!
This past weekend we were blessed to have been able to take a trip to Omaha to take our little princess to the zoo (more on that later!). When we started planning this trip, a friend of mine from when I was little commented on my Facebook saying that she would love to go with us. So glad we did! We had a blast with Rochelle and her sweet little girl, Evelynn. Even better, the next morning we had the opportunity to take a few pictures of this cute little one year old!

She was cracking me up! She had these three tennis balls that she was bound and determined to hold at the same time. All of them. She succeeded a few times.




What a cutie!! Thank you so much, Rochelle and Evelynn, for being our tour guides at the zoo and for playing at the park with us!? You’re so fun!
What a little darling! She was born into the lives of our friends, Nathan and Rachel Bergen. Blessings abound for this new family, with such sweet little girl.

She was so snuggled up, she didn’t want to unroll herself, or wake up for that matter. We were totally fine with that! She was absolutely perfect for us.

Gotta love those teeny tiny baby features.

Talk about proud parents, too.


I love these two. So much joy!

Talk about a glow, from two proud parents. Absolutely stunning.

Thank you guys so much for letting me spend some time with you and your precious Elizabeth!

How cute is this little family? Way too cute…

Most of the time when I have a little kiddo with a birthday, we shoot around the big day. The Evans went all out, these pics were actually shot on Kaiden’s first birthday!



These guys were yet another example of parents who absolutely delight in their child…


Kaiden’s expression in this one cracks me up…


And now for a little mommy+daddy lovin…

You guys are beautiful.

Thanks for hangin with me, Evans! You’re all so lovely.
