Prater Family

I'm not even sure where to start with this session.  We did all kinds of fun stuff.  We started with family pics by their awesome barn, then let the kids lead the way for a while.  We had trampoline, basketball, gymnastics, yoga and some wedding dress pictures.  I could hardly narrow down my favorites so here are a bunch of them :)

Scott ~ 6 months

This is the second time I've gotten to see this little guy.  He was just a newborn last time.  Now he's six months old and still as cute as ever.  He wasn't really sure what to think of me, but he came around and gave me some great expressions.  Here are just a few of my favorites from his session.

Casey & Meredith

It was a sunny, spring day when I met Casey and Meredith. Casey was only 23 days old, but he didn't really want to act like a newborn. He was wide-eyed and watching me through most of the session. We finally wore him out and he did fall asleep at the end of the session. Then it was Meredith's turn. She might be the most easy going almost 2 year old I have ever met! She had all kinds of smiles for me too. Here are a few of my favorites from their sessions.

Claire ~ 1 year

Adorable little Claire was just a newborn the last time I took her pictures. Now she is a whole year old already. We started outside at her house with a few pics with mom and dad. She was full of smiles and fun! Then we headed back inside (it wasn't one of those 70 degree days) for some pretty dresses and tutus! I have to say I LOVE tutus on little girls! One of the dresses she is wearing is the dress her grandma made for her mom when she was one. So to add to the heirloom photo, we put Claire in her great grandpa's trunk. How cool is that! And what 1 year session is complete without some cake eating pics. Claire wasn't sure what to do right away, but she got the hang of it. I think it was good practice for her party the next day. Here are a few of my favorites...

Makynlee Linnae

This precious little girl was only 9 days old when I got to meet here. I go to yoga with her mom and had asked if she could be a newborn model for me so that I could try some new things. Makynlee was a fantastic model. She just kept sleeping even though I was moving her and adjusting her over and over. I'm pretty proud of the head in hands shot. That is my first successful attempt! Her mama also teaches piano lessons so we tried to incorporate that into a couple images with big brother James. She even smiled for a couple of the shots. So sweet! Here are just a few of my favorites...
