SISTERS

Candice's sister came along for Carson and Cayden's photo shoot, and I was able to take some images of Candice and Chelsea together for their father. It was a lot of fun to capture their sisterly bond, and I hope he enjoyed the pictures!

CARSON & CAYDEN: TWO

Carson & Cayden turned two last fall, if you can believe it. I wish they could stay little babies forever, but it has been fun to see them growing and changing all the time. To celebrate their birthday, we headed out for some pictures and were able to take some family and parent shots, too. Happy Birthday to my favorite twins! You both make being an aunt so fun!

HUFFAKER FAMILY

Once again, I've fallen behind on blog posts in a major way. I hope to stay more on top of it as we head into spring! Last fall, I took some photos of my step-sister's family. Due to a hilarious mishap, I will never forget this day. Thanks Beth, Greg, Luke, Ky & Al for being such good sports!

GAVIN: TWO

It’s hard to believe Gavin is already two. His birthday was a couple weeks ago, so it was time to get some fall birthday shots. We had beautiful warm weather, and with the help of some skittles, Gavin was willing to cooperate. I’m pretty sure Megan did most of the hard work, and I’m always thankful she and Gavin are so easy and laidback to work with. Happy Birthday, Gavin! I feel so lucky I get to take your pictures! :)

 

THE O'CONNOR FAMILY

Last weekend, my dad asked me to take some pictures while my Aunt Diane was visiting from Florida. It had been quite a long time since the whole group had a family photo together, so my dad wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. I'm glad he thought of the idea. Pictures are so important, and I feel like you can never have enough. I know most people think of taking pictures as hard work or a hassle, but it's so worth it in the end. Thanks to my grandma, aunts, and uncle who took the time to come to Bloomington, not only for family photos, but also for delicious food and great conversation!

I had to add a few bloopers. I think this one really captures my dad's personality:

 Love my grandma's expression in this one. :)

I think the group has had enough!

ALISON KATE: NEWBORN

My niece Alison Kate was born on July 11^th and six days later, we took her outside in the extreme heat and humidity to get some pictures. Like her brother and sister, she was the perfect model. Taking photos of Luke, Kylie, and Ali will never get old. They are all ADORABLE! I am so excited that Ali is finally here and can’t wait to watch her grow up (and take pictures along the way). 

JP: ONE YEAR

Earlier this month, we celebrated my nephew JP’s first birthday. I hadn’t seen him since December, so I had been anxiously waiting to take new photos of him. He is so big now, so handsome, and so ACTIVE! We went to a few different locations one afternoon, and even though it was sunny and hot, we still managed to capture some images. Happy Birthday, JP! I love you, and I am so proud to be your auntie. :)
