One of my favorite things about being a mom is watching Emily explore the world around her. One of the challenges of being a mom is trying to find things for her to explore. Often the things she finds fascinating are big surprises to Andrew and I and provides us all with lots of entertainment….

Clara – One Year Old
Here are a few of my favorites from Clara’s one year old session.
Sitting on a Bench
There were lots of cute little benches at Deanna Rose, perfect for our little girls to see the world from at their own level. Emily came up with this great idea to stand up and turn around, and Clara thought that was a pretty neat idea too. I love that Clara is at a stage…

AdaLyn
It was such a sweet experience to spend a few hours with this precious girl and her family. AdaLyn was a great sport as her mom dressed her in the same skirt her big sister wore and wrapped her in blankets made by her grandma and other relatives. Thanks for welcoming me into your home…
Jones Family
I had a lot of fun hanging out with this cute family of four. The little girls had so much energy and interest in exploring and their parents were an incredible example of never ending patience and love.

Terry Family

We captured some of Indiana’s beauty to help tell the story of this exciting time in their lives. It will be wonderful to meet…
Baby Shoes
A few weeks ago I decided to learn how to crochet baby shoes. I loaded Emily up in the car, went to the craft store, bought some hooks and yarn, and found a youtube video to follow along with. My first attempts went surprisingly well! I’ve discovered that crocheting is the perfect craft for the…
Growing, We do it Every Day
So I was kind of a Barney junkie in the early 90s. My poor mother. She even filled a 6 hour VHS tape so I could watch the shows over and over again. These episodes had been largely forgotten, but now that Emily is hanging out with me all day I have had a sudden…
