When Natalie (the creative genius who pressed life into my business cards) asked if I might be free for a quick little family shoot, I was pretty pumped. Getting to take a stroll through the woods is always a great way to kick off the weekend, but it's even better with a fun family along to photograph...truly, GOOD TIMES. (Sorry for the pun--I had to do it.)
I loved getting to spend Valentine's Day making googly-eyes at this little cutie. Simon was totally chill, and can we talk about all that personality? Honestly, I just can't even.
I don't cross paths with many babies that are only four days old, but getting to spend a morning with this sweetheart (and his big brother!) makes me wish that wasn't the case. It was an honor to capture some quiet moments at home with this beautiful family.
Everything about this shoot fills me with gratitude. How lucky are we to have had a beautiful Saturday morning in January (that even included some sunshine!) where we could wander these beautiful trails all by ourselves?! I had so much fun creating these images with Dave and Kristin, and let me tell you, that baby girl is lucky to have such amazing parents.
On New Year's Day, I received a text from a college roommate that I hadn't seen in ages, which is obviously the best way to start off a brand new year. Some of my favorite memories from Calvin College involve Allyson, so when she asked if I could take a few pictures for her, I couldn't say yes fast enough. Spending a morning with Jason and Allyson (and their dog Ruby!) was the absolute best; they set the bar very high for 2016.
