My Newest Favorite Person :)

This precious little girl is the newest of my favorite people on earth... Eden Noel was born Sept. 30th to some of our very best friends Kevin and Lisa, and my heart (and theirs obviously) have been smitten ever since. She is just so sweet! I took these photos Monday morning when we were hanging out at Lisa's house. Eden, we love you so much beautiful girl... and Aunty Tassia is working on a new little girlfriend for you to play with very soon! This family is like our family. Two years ago we were all so excited when Lisa and I both gave birth to baby boys who are now best buds, so we were all amazed to learn that this year we were both expecting daughters... we are all feeling very blessed. Congrats Kev and Lisa, and big brother TZ!

Meet Miss Isabella...

I am so proud to introduce our good friend's Matt and Sam's beautiful baby girl Isabella, who I can hardly believe was born a month ago already! These photos were taken when Isabella was 2 weeks old when a I spent a wonderful rainy morning hanging out with her momma while our boys ran wild through their house. I am sooooooooo blessed by all of these little beauties being born into our family of friends. This photo of her little feet really gets me as I think I'll be holding my little girls feet in just a little over a week from now! Congrats Matt and Sam, we love you guys!

Little Miss Madi.... a year later.

Madison is another little beauty that I got to photograph last winter when she was only a few months old. So it was great to meet up with this little girl and her family last weekend, and yet again see how fast our children grow in less than a year. Last time I saw Madi, she was by all means a baby with her beautiful long eye lashes and cute pouty lip, so it was really fun to see that sweet little face "all grown up" (ok maybe not quite yet;) keeping mommy and daddy busy as we followed her around the park.

Here is a look back in time... little Miss Madi last year, still one of my favorite photos of all...

Little Mr. Handsome...

 

I met up with this adorable two year old and his parents for a photo session at Lockridge park last weekend. Ben is such a sweet little guy, and he has some of the most handsome little eyes I've seen. I was so glad that his dad was able to convince him on the family hug... even having just met these guys their interactions said so much of their love for each other, and I adore this shot!

Sarah and Evan....

Although I usually focus on my photography on children ,this summer I had taken some couples and engagement shots for friends at the beach. I really enjoyed these sessions, and it was a welcome surprise when I got an email the other week from Sarah asking if I could take some photos of her and her boyfriend Evan. Both Ocean City graduates, they are hanging out in PA for the moment as they go to school at Temple and Elizabethtown Universities. They are a beautiful young couple and it was great to capture a bit of their love on camera and dream with them through these images about what the future holds.

Little Miss Audrey...

I met up with little Audrey and her parents last weekend at Lockridge Park for a photo session. This joyful busy little girl has grown up so much since last December when I last photographed her, and it was a lot of fun to follow her around as she explored the park. This is an exciting time for her family as Audrey is going to become a big sister early next year! It was so great to see you guys again, and I cannot wait to meet your new addition to your beautiful family!
Here are Audry's photos from last year.... 

Another little girl is on her way....

A precious little girl is about to join this beautiful family. I joined Tim and Kristin and their boys last week for some maternity photos at Covered Bridge Park. Anna is going to be a lucky little girl with these two big brothers to look out for her. Kristin and I are due the same week! I am so excited for you guys, and so thankful for to be sharing this time of anticipation with you too.

3 bears....

I met this amazingly adorable family up at the farm last Sunday to take some pics of their little boy who has taken on the nickname "bear". Xavier is one of my little guy's buddies from our mom's group, and I absolutely adore him and his momma... so it was so great to meet the papa bear that fit this equation. It was really great to "run around" (as well as you can when you are as big as I am these days) with these guys and capture some of their interactions with each other... their joy is worthy of a celebration!

Waiting for baby Juliana....

I met Lyndsey and John last week for a last minute maternity session as she was due the following weekend. As it turned out it was more last minute than we expected. Lyndsey gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby Juliana on Wed. I can't wait to see this little one in a couple weeks for photos. Congratulations guys on your beautiful new addition!

Still waiting for their little Pumpkin....

I took these photos last Sunday as Kevin and Lisa (and big brother TZ) were still awaiting their "little pumpkin" to arrive. We are so proud to announce that baby Eden was born this past Thursday, a beautiful healthy little girl. Stay tuned for adorable baby girl's photos soon! I can promise she will be a star of this blog for years to come :)

Just when you thought a family couldn't get any more beautiful.... they are about to :)

As I write this our dear friends Matt and Sam are probably holding their newborn baby girl in their arms who was born earlier this morning! I am so excited to meet baby Isabela in a couple days. It is hard to believe that these photos were taken 2 days ago... pregnancy is such a wonder. I am so truly blessed by all of the new additions coming to our family of friends this fall. Check out handsome big brother Lucas... what a big week for this little guy, a new preschool and a new baby sister all in one week! We love you guys and can't wait to meet your new little Brazilian (Pa dutch) beauty!

Baby girls, baby girls, baby girls ....

Colin and Rebecca are a beautiful couple from our church anticipating the birth of their first baby... another baby girl dues later this fall. The pastor's said that their are 12 of us who are pregnant at the moment, clearly we have gotten the memo to be fruitful and multiply ;) A few years ago it seemed like everyone at our church was having baby boys, and this fall is the season of girls! We met up with Colin and Rebecca after church on Sunday and I just happened to have my camera in hand so I snapped a few photos of the parents to be!
