Howard Family

I drove out to Meggin + Patricks house to photograph this growing family two years ago for a maternity photography session ... one of my favorite family photo sessions to date. How bizarre is it that on the exact same day two years later, I drove out to their new house, for maternity session #2. The universe is crazy, I tell ya.

I get a little giddy every time a client contacts me about an in home session to document their newest family member, their love for one another, their traditions, or whatever!  There is something so incredibly special to be invited into a client’s home and document a newborn and their family (Watch for their next session coming up, when Baby #2 comes home!).  Storytelling through photographs has always been something I have loved and I am thrilled to now be offering these type of in home lifestyle sessions to my clients.  Anyways, back to the real deal. 

The Howards are such a unique family, with killer artwork throughout their house, design oozing from every room.  Their personalities a mix of sweet, hip, interesting + bold: I couldn't adore them any more. Except when it comes to their spunky little one, Eleanor. She's so adorable, with big bright eyes, and a smile that lights up a room.  She's got my heart.

My trick with Ellie? When she wasnt feelin' the photoshoot, I'd let her take a photo on my camera. Her eyes light up like the fourth of July, when she saw her work on the screen. What a doll.

Anyways, Baby #2 is on its way, and Meggin is a stunning mama-again-to-be, and Patrick a handsome daddio. Without further ado, I present to you, The Howards.

Little Liam

There are no seven wonders of the world in the eyes of a child, there are seven million.   ― Walt Streightiff 

Welcome this beauty to this world: Liam. What a handsome little man, isn't he? I can't wait to see all the things he accomplishes, the grass stains and ripped jeans, the baseball and basketball games, the A+ grades and the first girlfriend. 

Liam: take your time little man. Enjoy being so small.  

The McKelvey Family

The McKelveys have been in my life for quite some time now. Freshman year of college at Nebraska Wesleyan University (we'll just say that was a few years ago, wink wink), Liz lived across the hall from me, and I believe Sam lived on the first floor of the same building. They are now married with two beautiful girls, living in Colorado!

I get to take their family photos, and check in with how the girls are doing. They are growing up to be such sweet little ladies. Just check out their smiles! I'm so happy for this beautiful family of four. Cant wait to see what the future holds for you all! Cheers.
