Newborn - Jane Louise Winter

This precious newborn is the daughter of Cori and Paul Winter. The brother of one my past bride's, Anne-Marie. Baby Jane was awesome during her session and I think cried out maybe once! A little back story on her sweet name. Her first name Jane is after Cori's grandmother and is also Cori's middle name. Her middle name Louise is after Paul's grandmother. I absolutely love hearing the phrase "Baby Jane". It just sounds so sweet to me. 

We started out the session by using an old suitcase full of photographs and a handmade green blanket, which was made by Emily, Paul's Dad's neighbor. 

The crocheted blanket was made by Grandma Jane.

These next set of images we had Baby Jane swaddled in the very blanket Cori came home from the hospital in. They decided to bring Jane home in it too.

Cori's mom, Mari, was visiting from out of state. I captured a few sweet shots and so glad she participated. Love this image of the three girls below!

The precious baby shoes featured above were Cori's.

These next two images below feature Grandma Jane and Grandma Maria Louisa.

And these next few shots we did at the end of the session after I found out Paul is a musician and the worship leader at his church. I thought the piano was perfect for a newborn shot and I loved how they turned out. Especially the black and white version.

Multi Family - Wright's, Jones', and Keiger's

In the image below we start with Bobbie and Lee, who married and had Mindy and Lori (sisters), who found their spouses and made five grandchildren in total. We kept our location local at the Harrisburg old post office and squeezed this session in before the Keiger family had to move out of state that weekend. This sweet multi family session was very busy, but much fun to capture! There was plenty of goofing off and that's what we wanted to capture, the essence of a family and the love and fun that they exude! 

Sisters, I can relate to this since I myself have two older sisters. I love my sisters and couldn't image my life without them. One thing I love most about this is I feel the bond of a family after marriage and kids is often stronger when there are sisters involved. Girls just get close and stay close. I'm sure brother and sister relationships are awesome, but sisters definitely have a different bond. So as you can see their are three sets of sisters in this session, when you include the daughters of Mindy and Lori.

Here we have Bobbie and Lee, the beginning of two other amazing families. These two were cracking me up during their cuddling portion of the session.

The Jones Family: Mindy, Woody, Mackenzie, Anuca, and Avery

The Keiger Family: Lori, Carey, Lexi, and Carley

When I asked these two to cuddle, they begin to slow dance and then they shared that they dance every night while cooking dinner. I got chills! So sweet and wish I could get my husband to participate in this activity. However cooking dinner is not always a very relaxing time for me, when I have two little ones begging for food at my ankles. Perhaps this could be something for the future when the kids are older. :)
