Nate’s First Birthday!

I absolutely love photographing first birthday parties. My favorite part is capturing all the sweet little moments between the family and the guest of honor. Since that was my favorite part of weddings too (except replace the baby with a bride and groom) I guess it sort of takes me back to my wedding days.

This birthday party certainly did not disappoint when it came to sweet moments. It was an intimate group of just Nate’s closest family and he enjoyed being passed around from one family member to the next, all of whom obviously love him a ton! I also have to mention that Nate is perhaps the sweetest most laid back baby I have ever encountered and there wasn’t anything that happened during the day that he didn’t seem to thoroughly enjoy. That made it extremely difficult for me to narrow down my selection of photos for this post. Somehow I managed to and these here are just some of my favorites from the day.

This sequence made me laugh when it happened and also when I was editing the photos. Love.

Look at that sweet little face!

I love how Grandmom is watching Mom interact with Nate. So sweet!

Nate received many awesome presents, including a guitar that was just his size. Is that not adorable!?

…and even though Nate was probably hours past due for his nap time, he was good enough to let us get a few group shots before the day ended.

D Family

From here on out for the rest of the year, my posts are going to be all out of order. While I’ve been on and off neglecting my blog throughout the year, many sessions have gone unblogged, and I’m going to do my best to post, post, post until everything is up here!

First is the D Family. I just loved this session for so many reasons, the most important being:
#1. It was so much fun to come and photograph their family just hanging out. It was very relaxed and even included a birthday cake at the end for dad!
#2. I’m a sucker for people who love their dogs as much as I love mine and they certainly loved their dogs. It warmed my heart. :-)
#3. Love just oozed from this family. The kids were so sweet to each other and it made my job easy. It was such a pleasure to capture.
#4. Just as we were finishing up shooting, the skies opened up and we had one of those torrential downpours that seemed so common this Summer. You’ve gotta love timing like that!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the afternoon I spent with them.

M Family

I am going to keep this post short and sweet since I have to run out but want to make sure that I get this post up tonight! I cannot believe that I’ve neglected my blog since September and tomorrow it is going to be December! Well, to make sure that I don’t go another month without blogging, I’m kicking of with the adorable M family. Miss Sofia was decidedly not in the mood for a photo session the morning of their shoot, but we made the best of it and I don’t think you can really go wrong when your subject is this cute. These are just a few of my favorites and I’ll be sharing many more adorable shoots in the next few weeks.

Fin McGin

Almost two weeks ago, this baby became a one year old! It sort of seems like it was an overnight transformation. Like a week ago she only cared about sleeping and eating and now she’s interested in everything and crawling up a storm. So of course, in celebration of this big occasion, I took some family photos of Lauri, Mike, Fin and Derby too. I love them all so much and it was really an honor to capture their family, just as they are. This is the first of two posts. We decided to start with them all hanging out in bed for the first part. The second part involves Fin’s first birthday party and some quality beach time (including a most unsuccessful attempt at seagull feeding…oh boy, stay tuned for that!).

Here are my favorites from part one!

Finley’s first step!!!! AH!

Love, love, love this one! Has to be my favorite.

My name is Katie! I love color and pretty light and happy faces and sessions that include all of those things. Photographing families like yours, capturing the essence of what makes you unique, is my passion. I want to get to know you and to tell a story that is authentically yours.
