Little baby Eden, what a sweetheart!  We didn’t have to wait long between Ellen’s prenatal session and Eden’s newborn session. Just 3 weeks.  Big brother Griffen was adoring and loved to tell me how cute Eden was :)  Congratulations!

Ahhhh, yes, here is my sister, brother-in-law and adorable nephew.  We had the best time.  Liam was a star and the most well-behaved 3 year old I know.  The one hour zoomed by quickly, yet I was able to capture over 100 really great shots.  I can’t wait to do another session with my much...

This session was extra special because Ellen is my very good friend.  We did the session yesterday and were relieved to have it done as she’s at her due date and could pop at any time!  Big brother Griffen and Daddy joined in for a few pictures too.  Enjoy your sneak peek! xxx

I’ve known the Franklins for a number of years now.  I photographed their wedding in ‘07 and now I’m blessed to be documenting their growing family.  We had a lot of fun in the studio with the new backdrops!  Thanks for the great day!

What a beautiful boy!!!!
