My Sweet Family | Awaiting the Arrival of Baby #2

Pin It


It seems like just yesterday that we learned we were expecting Baby #2!  And then we found out he would be a boy!  Our hospital bag is (mostly) packed, the nursery is (mostly) complete (photos to come soon!), and our Christmas shopping is…you guessed it, mostly wrapped up!  Oh, which reminds me that I should probably wrap all the gifts too!  We had a lovely evening in October for our family portraits and maternity photos, thanks to the help of my parents and Reggie!  I have to thank my dear sweet friend, Julia, for making me look and feel beautiful with her makeup talents!  And a big thank you to my sweet and talented floral design friend, Linda, for making the perfect crown for me to wear!  I have to admit that I wore it out to dinner afterward…and I didn't want to take it off!  I am so blessed with creative, talented, and kind-hearted friends and colleagues!  We are beyond excited to meet our newest family member, and can hardly believe that we'll be a family of four any day now!



Remington is going to be a wonderful big brother, we just know it!  We've been talking about how special of a role it will be every chance we get!  




Since my busy fall season closed, I've enjoyed spending extra quality time with my handsome little guy.  We've gone to classes at the library, watched his favorite movies, like Finding Nemo and Toy Story 2 over and over and over!  I've taken naps with him and recently built a gingerbread house together!  Next on our list is to bake cookies for Santa Claus!



The past few months have brought about several changes for Remington.  He's moved up to the 3 year old class at school, he's moved into a big boy bed, and shown more interest in potty training.  He's got one heck of a vocabulary, which continues to impress us daily.  And he's quite a character, especially when he plays with his toys using different voices as they interact!  
We love you to pieces, Remington!!!



I had to get a few portraits of my handsome husband.  Reggie is a wonderful father.  He's loving, patient, generous, helpful…and he can make us all laugh like no one else!



Usually I'm the one behind the camera, and this particular evening, I was pretty excited to hand it over to Reggie for some photos!  Here I am at 29 weeks!










We still had lovely evening light, and I had to get some more photos of my handsome guys!  
I love this one of Remington!



Giant fall leaves!


Remington loves to climb and ride on Daddy's back!  
Especially at home with Lucy chasing them around!  



My loves!



Now I'm 38 weeks and feeling pretty good!  It's been great to have a little break to wrap up client work, to prepare the nursery, and to get some extra rest when possible.   I'm excited to share nursery photos soon, as well as newborn/family photos, and many client sessions to come here on the blog during my maternity leave!  Thank you all for your support and well wishes for our growing family!  
You're the best!

Eric + Jenny + Nicolette + Clara Noelle

Pin It


I'm so excited to share some favorites from one of my most favorite family's recent newborn session!  Eric and Jenny welcomed their second precious baby girl into their lives, and they couldn't be more smitten with Miss Clara Noelle!  She is beautiful and is so lucky to have her big sister, Nicolette, to share life with as they grow!  Nicolette is almost 2 years old (see some of their family portraits from last fall at the end of this post!), and she is beyond cute!  Even their beloved pup, Viv, joined us for photos!  I've had the extreme honor of capturing Eric and Jenny's wedding day, more portraits after the wedding, their first maternity announcement, and their newborn portraits.  I love having this special relationship with my clients, and seeing how they've grown into such a warm, caring, and joyful family has been incredibly amazing!   Before I get too sappy, let's get to some of my many, many favorites!

I knew Clara's nursery would be so perfect!



Nicolette and her new little sister, Clara!  Two beauties!


I just cannot resist those little feet and toes!






A sweet kiss from her big sis!




Jenny and Eric, you two are amazing.  Really amazing.  







Miss Clara Noelle!!!  You are truly a precious little princess!










A favorite!!!



While Nicolette went down for her nap, Clara finally decided to take a snooze and we got so many tender and sweet and perfect little moments, full of snuggles and wonder and sheer awe.  






Love this!


Seriously adorable!

Snug as a bug, the cutest little bug ever!





Jenny, you are radiant!  So so so pretty!








Viv is such a proud pup!  Love you, Viv!!!





I simply adore you guys!



Eric, Jenny, Nicolette, and Miss Clara Noelle!  I'm so elated for your sweet family!  What a gorgeous group you are, and so full of love and happiness!  Thank you so much for asking me to document this wonderfully special time in your lives yet again!  Congratulations to you!!! 

And as promised, a few favorites from their portrait session last fall just before Nicolette's 1st birthday!



Although it was bright and sunny, it was a chilly day to be outdoors!  We took some quick portraits outside before heading indoors to warm up!
Love your smile, Nicolette!!!









Oh how I love this image!  Favorite, favorite, favorite!!!


Viv!!!




Yesssss!


We came into my studio for some fun!


…and for cake!!!


Those eyes!  That dimple!  Such a gorgeous birthday girl!!!




Cheers to a sweet and happy 2nd birthday, Nicolette!!!  Hugs!!!
