Haylee: Sunshine & Sparkles

{Ash-a-ley}

Ripe Belly, BirthDay, Itty Bitty Session, 3 Month, 6 Month, and now I present to you,  Miss Haylee's 9 Month Portrait Session!    It is hard to believe that the next time I see her, we will be shooting her 1st Birthday Pictures!    A portrait session every 3 months may sound like a little much.....but anyone who has watched their little baby grow up, they know how fast that first year flies by.  I often hear them talking about how it seems like it was just yesterday that they were up all of those sleepless night as new parents entrusted with this little baby they had waited so patiently to meet.   During that first year, they change, grow and become a little person all too fast.  Jessi and Steve will always have these images that bring them back to each milestone, moment and feeling that they shared as they proudly watched their baby girl grow up.    Happy 9 Months!!!!    

I was like a kid in a candy store when I pulled my brand new Drop it Modern backdrop out of the box!!!  Sparkles, sparkles, and more sparkles!!!!   The bling bling mesmerizes me and brings me to my happy place.   SO HAPPY that my FedEx man delivered this very special backdrop the morning of Haylee's shoot!!!!    

Those chubby cheeks and juicy legs!!!   I just love this little girl!!!!!  

You would think she was born with a camera pointed at her or something!!!!   Oh wait, she was!!   :)   Such a perfect little model!   :) 

See you guys real soon!!!!     xoxoxo  

Amy + Marshall : Sneak Peek

Wanted to share a little of the love we captured this past weekend!  It may have been +105 degrees, but it did not slow us down or keep Miss Amy from rocking it out with her bad self!!!   We even were lucky enough to have Becker come along and second shoot with Alicea and myself.   I have quite the blog post in the works, but I couldn't hold back from a little teaser.

Amy & Marshall also had UnScripted at their wedding.    Their guests kept the photobooth packed all night!!!    Amy was the first bride to use our newest backdrop (and my personal favorite!) from Drop it Modern......SPANGLED!!   If you were a guest at the wedding, be sure to check out the entire gallery of pics HERE.

Haylee's First Year : 3 Months

As I introduced myself to Jessi and Steve on August 23rd during the sunrise at their Ripe Belly Session....I knew that they were going to make two proud parents to one little girl.  It may have been my first time meeting the two of them, but they joy, excitement, and pride was exuding from their pores.   Their smiles said it all.    We captured Haylee's entire BirthStory (which you can check out at the bottom of this blog), and now we will be capturing all of her major milestones during this first year of her life.....starting with this 3 month session complete with frilly girly girl stuff, tutus, bows, headbands, lace, and pearls.   Jessi and Steve definitely have quite the bundle of joy to be proud of.  I can not wait to share her entire first year with you all! :) 

Those eyes!!!  They kill me!!!    :) 

 See you in 3 short months for Haylee's 6 month session!!
