I met Miss Lily last fall for her session. We played in the field and she introduced me to her babies. We had so much fun. After the session she told her Mama that I was her “best friend” <3 Oh how I love my job!
This has been one my most favorite sessions to date. Meet Beautiful Lily.
Welcome to my life story for August. If you aren’t familiar with the life story series, it is a personal project that myself and several other photographers are participating in. It’s a monthly (bi monthly…etc) reminder to photograph the little moments in our own lives – the moments that tell our *own* stories.
Last weekend my family and I took a 4 day camping trip to Holland Michigan. The weather was outstanding, the water was beautiful. We had such a great time just spending time together and concentrating on US. I took my camera to the beach and had so much fun just capturing the joy…I’m so glad I had it. It’s the little things in life that are easily swept away when big things occupy our minds and hearts. I even handed the camera over to the husband so I am in a few as well! Enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed our days at the beach!
Please take a moment to continue the circle and enjoy Jessica’s beautiful work from Jessica Deane Photography

Here is the promised baby Ethan post! Isn’t he beautiful? As I was getting these ready for this post, my heart just swelled up and melted into a puddle. Those squishy baby lips and yawns SO make me want to do it all over again. I miss those days when they are so fresh <3 Ethan joins 2 big brothers and some of my absolute fav’s out of this session are of all three boys together. Mama Nicole is for sure the princess of the house!

Just a preview of what I’m working on…I had to share her sweet squishyness! Isn’t she adorable?
More to come very soon!
Miss Amelia came allll the way from Boston to see me! Yep that’s right…JUST me. 
Well okay, maybe she had a LOT of family that was waiting to see her too, but I feel so honored to be a part of this families lives. I LOVE this family! Anyway…Baby Amelia was over 2 weeks old when I first met her, and boy oh boy, she was WIDE AWAKE. Nope, she wasn’t going to sleep for anything! We did what we could but then her mama brought her back to me when she was 4 weeks old (I know, right?!?!) and she was sooooo good, she slept most of the time! Yippee!! I can’t wait to see her again. <3 You might remember the Mama…she is the super hot mom holding the little boy with the balloons….remember? That’s her. Doesn’t she look awesome? She does, believe me. Ladies and Gentlemen….meet Amelia Piper.
I absolutely LOVE fall! L-O-V-E it. <3 It was an odd first day of fall though, right? HOT! I sent Ava to school in a sweater dress, tights, and a wool beret for school pictures (every mom has gotta have the traditional school head shots for the album…at least this mom does ) and felt like the worst mom as I was sweating my face off standing with her waiting for the bus. Hey, she looked cute.
