a little bit of everything.

What a way to wrap up the year.

In a beautiful home, with a beautiful family with,

most importantly to me, a ton of character coursing through their veins.

You've heard me say it before probably to the point of 'ok we get it!'

but in home sessions are where it's at in my book.


And I couldn't be happier than to wrap the year up and have

my final blog post be with this one.

weekday in home mini sessions... coming 2014.

Tested out a new offering for 2014 a bit early...

weekday in home minis!

perfect to capture a documentary-style slice of your child's life.

because I feel it is so important to have these images of your child in their own space,

and I wanted MORE people to be able to have them.

the below is what I captured while I was there....

from going in their rooms, to capturing moments as they prepped to go outside to backyard fun.

all in 20 minutes.

it's beginning to look a lot like....

This holiday session marked the final shoot in an 11 month series.

Wanting to capture all the details of their second baby girl's first year of life,

the H. family invited me into their lives once a month to document.

Though this is not a 'usual' session for me in the sense

it was a lot more posed and directed, it was one I was happy to do.

It's ok to go outside your wheelhouse sometimes.

Especially when it's Christmas.

And well, let's face it, we all love a good shot in front of the tree!

{and I couldn't help myself to switch back to story telling mode when baby girl needed a snack break!}

and baby makes four.

Last time I went in home for a session with this client

it was a different home.

and only one little boy ruled the roost.

Last year, Mom was pregnant and we did a quick holiday mini.

So happy to be invited into their new home

and most important of course, meet their full of joy new baby boy

and see the new big brother in action.
