I love my niece with all my heart:

It had been nearly 2 years since I photographed little Claire, but her hair was still full of the blonde curls that I remembered… Her new little sister, Allie is a sweet as they come:

So let me start by saying, this isn’t just ANY family.   Darcy and Jason are my friends, and I feel beyond lucky to call them that.  I met Jason & Darcy almost 2 years ago at a local meeting for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, the national non-profit infant rememberance photography organization.  Jason and Darcy are photographers, active members of NILMDTS, but most importantly, parents to two of the funniest, smartest, most inquisitive boys I’ve ever met.  It was an honor to photograph them last month and document their family at this memorable stage in life.   Jason & Darcy are extraordinary parents who put family first above all else, and their boy’s good natured personalites are proof of their love, devotion and quick wit.   I so deeply admire them as individuals and feel so blessed to know this family:

This photo cracks me up.  Have you ever been to a gift shop and seen the quote: “Who are these kids and why are they calling me mom?”  Kinda reminds me of that…

doesn’t he look totally thrilled to be photographed by me? :

Baby Jake was the latest little buddy to give me my ‘baby fix’.  Oh he was so sweet and loveable and the perfect little model for his first photo session:

Here is beautiful Bella… 7 pounds of sweetness and the newest addition to Jarrod & Farrah’s family.  I was eager to meet her after having just photographed her mama, daddy and big brother a few days before she arrived.  I can say without hesitation she was the perfect baby and perfect model for her first photo shoot… so completely calm, quite, and beautiful:

Last week I had a great session on Gull Lake photographing the most goregous blue eyes I’d ever seen!

Just a few days later Tripp became a big brother and lucky me, I get to photograph her tomorrow.  Have I mentioned lately that I love my job?

Thank you, Farrah & Jarrod for inviting me to document these new stages in your life.  Your family is beautiful and I am eager to meet your little girl!
