Welcome Makenzie!

Makenzie was born on April 26th, 2009 to Stephanie and Josh. She is just about three weeks old for our portrait session. I arrived to a wide awake little girl and we were able to capture a few portraits of those beautiful eyes.




But soon, she started to fade and it was time for a nap.






Finally, a couple of Stephanie and Makenzie together. Unfortunately Josh had to work, but we will be sure to include him next time.




Makenzie is also the cousin to Madilyn, whose newborn portraits we did earlier this year - I know these cousins will be close.

Also, this shoot was very neat for me, as this is my first client where I photographed their wedding, back in June of 2007, and now their first baby. It is so exciting to see my clients' families grow! Thank you again, Stephanie and Josh, I am looking forward to seeing you again.

Madilyn

In February, Suzanne and Mike welcomed their first baby, Madilyn, into the world. What a beautiful girl she is!





I'm jealous of her great head of hair - when I was a baby I didn't have hair for a very long time.





I just had to get one her great bunny slippers.



And finally a few with Mom and Dad.







Congratulations again Suzanne and Mike!! I can't wait to see you all again.

Introducing McKenna Griffis

Back to playing a little bit of catch up on my blog! I think one of my New Year's resolutions needs to be to get caught up and then stay caught up.

McKenna was born to our good friends, Justin and Jen Griffis, on October 28, 2008. I had the chance to do her portraits when she was about two weeks ago - still just so tiny. McKenna has this perfect little round head!









I always love doing the detail photos of the little one's hands and feet.






Justin is in the Marines, so we had to take a couple with his fatigues. In December Justin graduated from the University of Colorado and was commissioned as an officer. Congratulations Justin!!




Jen and Justin also have another daughter, Madison, who I believe is currently three, but the time passes so fast I may be mistaken. We have also known Madison since she was very little, and she is growing up so fast! She loves her new little sister very much.




The following portrait is one that Madison wanted me to take. I like to incorporate all the kiddo's ideas in the portrait sessions. It keeps them involved and interested and they tend to be so naturally creative that I end up with some fun stuff!



Last, Jen and Justin ordered baby announcements from me, so I thought I would include the design that was their final decision.



Thank you again Jen and Justin for letting us be a part of your family's exciting times. We will miss you when you have to move away!
