To say I’m behind on blogging (thanks to all of you keeping me so busy photographing and editing over the last several months) might be the understatement of the century.  But I’m VOWING to get myself caught up here… especially when I have photos of families like this one on deck!

I don’t know what it is – but I feel like I’ve known this family for years.  It could be because Mom and I have exchanged novel emails to each other in our interactions leading up to and after our sessions, or because this is the third time I’ve had the honor of working with them in 9 months (see some shots from their maternity and newborn sessions here), or because they’re the type of people that make you feel comfortable and unbelievably welcome when you meet them. Regardless – to say I was excited to see them again for their little guy’s 6-month session is … well… is in a tie for the OTHER understatement of the century.

Oh hello blog!  It’s been a while since I’ve seen you!  I feel so badly that I’m so backed up on blogging… especially since THIS session has been waiting as the next one in line to get shared with the world.  OH MY HEART do I love this baby boy and his parents.  I photographed this little dude (who belongs to a dear friend of mine and her incredible husband) when he was brand spankin new in January, and have watched him grow up to this adorable, 6-month old little man.

Mom had texted me pictures of these outfits prior to our session and I knew he was going to look adorable… before we got to see them on him, we had to document these adorable little rolls that are to die for!

I could NOT believe that it was already time to photograph this little girl again for her 6-month shots.  Not only did I get to photograph her when she was a newborn, but ALSO when she was in Mom’s belly (checkout photos from BOTH sessions here)  But it is always SO neat for me to be able to see these little ones come into their own after meeting them when they were only a week new into the world!   And this little one changed so much – but yet, is just as gorgeous as she was as a newborn.

I ADORE this family.  From day one when I met them to do Mom and Dad’s “waiting for baby” session, I knew that they were great people and it has been SUCH an honor to continue to build a friendship with them while helping them document this first year as a family of three (well, four. See the last photo in the blog for reference!)

We decided to do this session in their home and I had so much fun working with the natural backgrounds in their house to capture this little lady in all of her preciousness… and she did not disappoint 🙂
