Trivi's 2nd Birthday

I recently photographed little Trivi this past winter and-WOW-has he matured so much in the past few months!  Little Trivi just turned two and had quite the turnout for his party to celebrate this special day.  Here are a few photos from his very special party.  Trivi, you are loved so much and by so many people.  Happy Birthday!

luciano {newborn}

I am pleased to present Luciano, one of the most handsome newborn fellas I have ever had the opportunity to photograph AND Notre Dame's biggest fan.  This little guy slept like a rock for most of his session and was quite cuddly to hold between shots.  I probably could have stayed there all day cuddling and cooing with him!  Well, maybe not all day--mom and dad may have issues with a strange girl sitting on their couch all day with their new baby.  :)  Thank you for letting me into your home to share your joy with you!

I have a few minutes to post some photos from yesterday's wedding.  The full blog post will come later.  Enjoy! 

{keaton} littlest farmer

"I had rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world"
- George Washington

 Early one morning, shortly after the sun rose and there was still a hint of dew on the ground, I met up with Keaton.  His dad is a farmer, his dad's dad is a farmer, his dad's dad's dad is a farmer...you get the picture.  Therefore, they live on a farm. :)  According to his mom, the farm is one of Keaton's favorite places to play and explore.  Boy-oh-boy, did we explore during our session!  This kiddo is a runner and he wanted to show me EVERYTHING.  We ran up and down dirt hills and played on the tractors.  He showed me the bean fields, dad's shop, the grain silos, the sunflowers, and the mud puddles.  Then, he showed me everything again.  If I only had half of his energy...

Keaton will be turning two in September and it is unsure how much longer he will have his stunning, blond hair (the same hair his dad sported when he was toddler age).  I wish my my camera had the ability to capture the sound of his laugh as well as it captures his blondness.  If I could record his laugh and sell it, I would be a millionaire.  You can't help but giggle and grin ear-to-ear at the sound of his happiness!  Keaton, please let me come back again someday soon and play!

Olivia {3 months old)

"A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bankroll smaller, home happier, clothes shabbier, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for"

 Remember Olivia from her newborn session?  Well, she is now three months old!  Already!  And, she is as expressive and animated as anticipated for this session.  She wasn't always in the best mood during the time I spent photographing her, but all it took was her mommy's sway or her daddy's hush-hush and comfy chest to calm her right down.  Actually, Olivia may be the first baby I have ever met that loves Jack Johnson music.  If mommy and daddy's antics weren't successful, they just played a little JJ to put her at ease.  Amazing.  :)  The first set of photos are my favorite.  I just love how expressive babies are at this age!

Remember how I said she wasn't very happy with me at times?  Here is the proof.  :)

Doesn't she have the most amazing eyes??

This smile is for JJ!  First song on the playlist--"Upside Down."
