nate + heather + brayden {a family session}

Well the end of this year has proven to be family session time around here, so here is another beautiful one!  I “met” Heather when she stumbled upon our blog. Heather is a photographer herself in the Northern Kentucky area, so I was super excited when she asked about doing a family session for her! She has a wonderful husband Nate, and a cutie pie little guy named Brayden.  She also has an adorable baby bump and is expecting a new little guy in a couple months. :)

The day we had lined up for our session turned out to be terribly cold.  Now, I have said this on many of my sessions, but this was THE COLDEST SESSION we have ever been on!  The high was 26 degrees that day! Talk about brave.  But, looking through these images….it was totally worth it.

Brayden is a doll. He arrived with a belly full of PEZ, and an adorable smile. :)

This photo just makes me SMILE so big. :)

We had to get a few shots of the precious little baby in the belly.  Heather saw this painting and told us that the nursery is in these types of colors, so it was perfect.

Heather, you look beautiful!

Trying to make Brayden laugh!!! It worked.

If you look down to the right you will see an “N.”  We thought that was cute, because inside the belly is little “Nolan.”  :)

I LOVE THIS!  His expressions were priceless.

And this one too. :)  I just LOVE IT!

Kisses from big brother.

Then we took some shots of just mom and dad together.  I really loved so many of these that narrowing them down was quite hard.  The light was just perfect that day….(Even though I felt frozen and moving around was even harder!  I had on a coat, gloves, scarf and hat….so really I need to shut up.  They had to be FREEZING, but you would never know!)

A favorite of mine!!  Just beautiful.

Another few shots together….I love that Brayden did this on his own.

And then towards the end, Brayden was goofing around and dancing for us. :)

Heather, Nate and Brayden…thank you so much for asking us to do a session for your family.  I know we didn’t chit chat a lot because we were all frozen solid :)  but we really enjoyed our time together and being able to meet your beautiful family (and to Nate’s brother and family too-thanks!).  Best of luck Heather on the end of your pregnancy, and I can’t wait to see what little Nolan looks like when he arrives!

mel - i love the coordination. can we have this family pick out clothes for all of our sessions? you find great spaces. good work.

dana + corey {baby is coming!}

Dana has to be one of the most beautiful pregnant women I have even seen. Not only is her baby bump adorable, but her smile and demeanor radiate pure joy. When Corey (her hubby) gets closer, even more so. They are so in love, and so happy to be expecting….being with them was such a pleasure.

I have known Dana for a long, long time. She is very close to my family, and she has helped me with watching my babies over the years. It it so cool to now see her happily married and her own little girl on the way in a few weeks!!

Ok, it was ridiculously hard choosing favorites from this session…just a warning.

Similar to the last, but I just couldn’t CHOOSE!!

I think this may very well be one of my most favorite shots….EVER.

that’s one HOT MAMA!!!

Thanks guys for being up for anything…it was fun. Brett and I are so excited for you two!! Can’t wait to meet that precious little girl.:)
