I had such a wonderful time taking photos for the Cheely family again! We took pictures at a nearby park, and I was so thankful that it stopped raining just in time! One thing that I thought to be so adorable and memorable from the shoot was how they let their oldest daughter dressed in her favorite Frozen clothing. From her new Frozen earmuffs, to her shirt, skirt, and shoes, everything was Frozen themed! We also got a lot of beautiful candid shots of the whole family interacting with one another, and the joy on their faces were priceless. Enjoy some of my favorite highlights below!

For my first photo shoot of the year, I had the honor of capturing newborn photos for Amanda and Jonathan in their beautiful home! It was such a wonderful way to kick off the new year documenting sweet photos of this growing family :)

Baby Mirabelle was such a delight! She was awake for the first part of the session, and it was adorable seeing how inquisitive and alert she was. It was also sweet seeing her peacefully sleeping in the second half of the shoot! One of my favorite moments was capturing their dog snuggling with all of them on the bed and trying to nuzzle baby M. He was so happy and enthusiastic, and I swear it looked like he was smiling during the shoot—just see below! Another memorable part of the photo shoot was capturing Amanda sitting in the rocking chair that her dad built for her! The craftsmanship was outstanding, and it was truly evident that it was built with love :)

My favorite part of the shoot was simply capturing the love and connection among this family. Whether it was mom kissing her baby or dad nuzzling nose-to-nose with his baby girl, I like to call these touches, “points of connection.” Whether it is head-to-head, nose-to-nose, or hand-to-hand, I wholeheartedly believe these gentle touches truly elevates the depth of love, intimacy, and relationship in a photo!

I had such an awesome time capturing photos for Erin and Jason’s ADORABLE family at Umstead Park! Erin got in touch with me in the fall to do a family photo shoot, and I learned that they were in the middle of moving from New York to Chicago. They were staying with family in NC and desired to capture this special moment in time as they make their transition to Chicago!

One of the most memorable things about this shoot was how much their son, Miles, LOVED to stand and balance on his dad’s hands! His dad would basically hold him up with ONE hand, while Miles would clap and sing a song—it was so cute and funny, especially the photos we captured towards the end! I also thought it was hilarious that his newborn baby brother slept for pretty much the whole photo shoot! Most of all, what I loved about this family was their energy, playfulness, and laughter! It was endearing to see how much fun they have being together :) Documenting your days together is so important because life truly flies by!
