It is so crazy to me that this family was one of my first families to photograph – and to get paid for it! Lucy was just 3 months old at our first session. We did that sweet little session here at the same house that this session was shot. It means so much to me that they’ve stuck with me all these years.

One of the great things about this session is that we were able to do two family sessions back to back and get a few cousin photos with the overlap. The dads from the two sessions are brothers and they both wanted sessions at the same spot! I love the classic feel that this session has and I love the meaningful location they chose.

And their baby cousin’s session here!

i just love it when clients choose me over and over again to photograph their family.  i have been the photographer for this family since their oldest was 3 months old! i was just over-the-moon excited when they shared that their family would be expanding and i would get to play a part in that (see it here)

time has just flown by and now it’s lily’s 4 month session.  we knew that we wanted to recreate this image from big sister’s 3 month session with lily since i still owned that same quilt and mom still had that same bow.  she’s planning on doing a gallery wall and it’s going to look so cute when it’s done.

for this session, mom also wanted to do a little outdoor bubble bath fun and i just happened to have the most perfect galvanized tub! lily was just a little too small for it though so we didn’t get very many with her in the tub…but big sister absolutely LOVED it and completely stole the show … it was soooo cute! i’m definitely going to have to do the tub sessions again in the future!

i told her last night that every session i do with her babies is my new favorite session.  i truly don’t know how we are going to top this one!

and these were taken at the same location as the pregnancy reveal session here and lucy’s 6 month session. i love getting these little sunflower sessions every year because i know that will look so great when showcasing past sessions with new sessions to create a gallery wall.

i’m pretty sure that we got that pouty face in the image above when mom was telling her that it was time to get out and go home.  so pitiful

i’m already counting down to when we get to do lily’s next session.  it’s just crazy how fast they grow and how much they’ve already changed since lily’s newborn session.

this little man has seriously got to be one of the cutest little guys that i have gotten to work with and i can’t believe that he has already turned one!  it always amazes me at how fast time flies.

we actually got to do this photography shoot in murfreesboro, tn on some family land and i could not be happier with how the images turned out!!!! i absolutely loooooooved this location and i would shoot there every weekend if i could.

oh, and if you scroll down to the end of the session, you get to see some exciting news for this little family

so… i practically begged my friends to let me do a one year cake smash for their (identical) twin girls!

i’m so glad they were just as excited about it as i was…i just had to wait a couple of months for the date to finally arrive…but it was weelllll worth it….i think that the pictures turned out so great!

we started out the session with taking a few pictures of the girls in their pretty new dresses…
isn’t this too cute…they even lean identically

and here’s one of the whole family…..

they have such a beautiful family

 now on to the cake smash!

mom had these super cute bloomers made for the girls

back story:  because the girls are identical…one is always pink and one is always green….such a cute idea!

i just loved it when one of the girls stuck their leg in the cake!
they are just so stinkin cute!
