Meet Baby Sawyer

These photos are from a while ago.... I just forgot to post them!  Didn't want you to miss them :)
I did a newborn session with the sweetest baby ever.  I had never done a newborn session before so I was a little nervous but it was really fun!  It is so much calmer than a normal session and you have to wait for the little bundle of joy to fall asleep so you get a good bit of down time.

The session was with newborn baby Sawyer.  He was the sweetest newborn ever and a joy to photograph.  He just sat, slept, and dealt with us moving and putting him in different positions.  I am sure he is much bigger now... seeing as it has been close to 12 months.

Enjoy!

I love you, I'm proud of you, You are mine

This is a saying that my friend Eric says to his two children.  He often says that this is how the Lord views us and then says it to his children so that they know and believe that they are loved and wanted!
I had the privilege to photograph his two children and beautiful wife a couple of weeks ago.  My friend Meg (here)) and I did this session together.  Kristin (eric's wife) wanted the photos to surprise Eric for their 10th anniversary (so fun)!!  We wanted to capture them as the sweet children they are in their natural selves. I feel like that was accomplished and it was sweet to see them with the special words their mom and dad say to them!
This is a family that I love and adore.  To be able to capture their beauty and personalities that pour out from their beautiful spirits was a blessing!

Christmas Photos?? Whoops

Meet my friends Meg, Brett and Karis.  Meg works with me and has become one of my closest friends throughout my time on YL staff.  She is one of those friends that is a breath of fresh air.  She is one of those incredibly relational people that you feel like you have known for years the minute you sit down with her!  She just recently went off staff to be a full time mom to this gorgeous sweet girl and I have shed my fair share of tears this week mourning over her not being in the office.  But I am so excited for what the Lord is going to do in this time.  She is a YL leader to people all over this county and that won't change just because she isn't getting paid for it.  I know that there will be many adults that get to feel the Love of Christ because of their friendship in the coming years!
So I took these photos... oh say 9 months ago.  WHOOPS.  But I wanted you to see them and meet this amazing family that oozes Jesus from their pores!
This is my favorite!
