Family - The McKenzie's

Meredith and I met back in college studying photography together and we bonded so well we moved in together for our second year of studies. This girl always has you smiling! Her and Eddie's story starts when they were in their teens and now they have two beautiful kiddos named Addison and Carson. Loved this session for many reasons: #1 Watching Eddie make Meredith laugh and smile so beautifully, #2 Gazing into the kids amazingly blue eyes from behind the camera, and #3 Getting to catch up with an old friend. Thanks McKenzies! Had a blast!

Newborn - Theophilus Issac Fink

Let me introduce you to my sweet little nephew, Theophilus or you may call him Theo. This little guy had to stay in the NICU for a few days due to low oxygen levels, but he was strong and was finally able to join his family at home! Thank you all for your prayers during that time. Daddy aka Ben Fink was working the day we did the photo session so hopefully later this year we'll get some family pics up too. You'll have the joy of seeing Theo's wonderful mother, Erin, and his big brother, Haddon, in this post. Love some of the moments captured here!

The next four are some of my favs from the session.

Since Theo was born in October, we thought a adding a pumpkin would be appropriate for a prop.

 I think they turned out cute.

Senior - Ashley Schwartz

Ashley is my husband's cousin from Pennsylvania and she had the opportunity to come down for a visit during Labor Day weekend. She's going to be a 2013 graduating senior from Maplewood High School. Ashley is a very talented musician so we incorporated some of her favorite instruments into her session. She did very well for not feeling very comfortable in front of the camera! You rocked it girl!
