The Dedicatoria Family

Adrienne, Ric, and Elliot are a happy little family that clearly love each other and enjoy one another's company. The way they interacted with each other made that clear, and made it really easy to capture these memories for them.  Adrienne and Ric are photographers too, but they did great being on the other side of the camera! Elliot was on the run the whole time, but after this year of all my friends having babies that grow into rambunctious boys (myself included!), I felt totally prepared for his antics...his hair, on the other hand, was not tameable :) 

 

 This picture made me laugh every time I scrolled past it.  Elliot looks like such a little rockstar :)

When I had them lay on their stomachs, Elliot thought it was wrestling time...so adorable!

 

I really shouldn't be posting this next picture.  Bad crop, out of focus, weird light, etc.
But look at that face! I just had to do it :) 

 Happy first birthday, Elliot!

The Smith Family + Kathryn - Brand new!

As I've said before, the main reason I love newborn shoots is because I love newborns.  Any chance to be around a five day old little person is an opportunity I'll jump on.  Sweet little Kathryn is the third child and third girl in this family.  There was a lot of pink and a lot of giggling that went on during this shoot, and a lot of the oldest two wanting to be on the newborn beanbag :).  These little girls are blessed to be growing up in a loving home with great parents and each other to play with. Enjoy!

It was freezing the day of the shoot so we literally took the family picture in about 2 minutes.

These girls were too wiggly to sit still for a picture together, but there are plenty that capture the silly, giggly, friendship these two share.

Ironically, Kathryn fell fast asleep after being smothered in kisses by her sisters :)

And then woke back up in time to be placed in a Christmas stocking.  Welcome to the world, dear :)
