{Idaho Falls Newborn Photographer} Macee

Macee was 2 weeks old the day of her session. She was a little gem and we whipped through her session in no time. She has beautiful blonde hair and perfect, peachy skin. We even snuck in big brother for a few pictures.

{Idaho Falls Photographer} Island Girl

This beautiful girl is Rebecca. She lives on the island of Cozumel just off the coast of Cancun, Mexico. She's lucky enough to live under the Caribbean sun. I'm lucky enough to call her my sister. : )

{Idaho Falls Newborn Photographer} Stop the Clock!

Here is my sweet Nattie at 2 1/2 weeks new:

And here she is at 2 1/2 months:
You can tell it's the same baby, but there's some chub now. She is STILL an angel with NO signs of colic . . . can you tell I have been waiting for that bomb to drop? She is so quiet and she sleeps all day. But it causes a bit of a problem when night time rolls around! We are keeping our fingers crossed that she remains healthy, calm, and sweet.

{Idaho Falls Child Photographer} Friends

This is Rylee & Kennedi. They have lived across from each other since they were born. They are best buddies, but more like sisters. Their moms are best friends, too! They've had babies together, put their husbands through school together, and supported each other through everything. Because their apartment doors faced each other the girls spent every day running back and forth.

Both these girls' daddies just graduated from college, so it was time to move on. But before they did, we had a friends photo session with the best buddies and their little siblings. I must say it was a little bit crazy with all 4 little ones, but I am sure Leslie & Sharlie will treasure these pictures! I know you guys are missing each other right now, so I hope these images provide a bright spot in your day! And I'm not responsible for any tears that may fall during viewing. : )

Oh, and the ever so cute clothing and hair accessories were provided by Sharlie, owner of Babes 'n Beads. Check out her etsy site HERE.

{Idaho Falls Child Photographer} McKade

I swear every time I see Mr. McKade he is even more handsome than the time before. This big boy is 2 now, and he's already a heartbreaker! He's a very sweet boy and I wanted to keep him.

{Rexburg Newborn Photographer} Calvin

Beautiful boy, Calvin. He pretty much had to be a gorgeous boy--just look at his mom & dad! I love meeting the grandmas of all these sweet babies. Calvin's grandma from Wisconsin came to the session and she saved me when my baby was being a little fussy. Maybe my Natalie was jealous of all the attention I was giving Calvin. : ) This boy has the most gorgeous, juicy lips!

Sophia {Idaho Falls Baby Photographer}

Little Miss Sophia. So beautiful. So shy. So serious. We started out her session like this:

She was glued to her mama and wasn't about to let go. I tried all my tricks, and then I brought out my secret weapon . . . my little Natalie. It was enough to distract Sophia away from her mommy long enough to realize I wasn't too scary. Little Sophia is a doll--so petite and such beautiful eyes.

She loves clothes, books, and her teddy!
