Where to even begin? I love this family. They have had a crazy year. The birth of their son coincided with moving to their dream property. They were in a house on the property that was to later become a rental while they did renovations on what is now their main home. I did Steele’s newborn photos out at the rental house and had the pleasure of returning to do his 1 year photos in their newly renovated home. Sarah has AMAZING taste and everything is so beautifully done. She asked me if it was strange to do pictures in Steele’s nursery at 1 year old and my answer was “absolutely NOT!”. I live for these sessions. They finally set up his room the way they like it and I think it’s wonderful to have pictures of this precious guy in there. We finished up the session with some outdoor family shots on their property. Despite it being a gray, cloudy day, it was a wonderful session. They are so wonderful to work with.

So it turns out I am a terrible blogger. It’s been quite a year here and I’ve added my third child to my personal chaos. Now that we’re almost through her first year I want to make it a goal to be better at maintaining my website and blog. I won’t be able to catch up on all the sessions but I’d like to highlight a few.

I definitely wanted to feature this session with the Nelson family. Their sweet little girl was around 1 and they wanted to document that stage of life with a fun lifestyle session. These are my favorite types of sessions because I think they will be the most nostalgic to look back on. It was fun to capture a piece of their lives, exactly how they were right then. I really enjoyed spending the morning with them.
