Tyler, Allyson and baby on the way!

I gotta say.... It feels a little strange to be staring at all this beautiful foliage from just a few weeks ago while it's cold and wintery outside!  But maybe it will warm you up a bit!  And this gorgeous family and their contagious smiles certainly will!  Meet Alynne and Dennis and their adorable kiddos Tyler and Allyson!   We took a stroll, of course played in some leaves, and collected more acorns than you could possibly imagine.  All while watching the kids laugh and giggle.   So fun!  My favorite way to shoot ever.  And what I love most is that in every picture... you can just tell how much they all love just being together.  Couldn't help by smile the whole time I was editing away..

And to make it even better.... Tyler and Allyson will have a brand new baby brother or sister coming soon!!  How gorgeous does Alynne look?  She totally has that preggo glow in every shot.  And Dennis is just so so nice and such an awesome dad.  So great to meet you!   I'm so happy for all of your and your growing family!  xoxo

Tyler LOVED the leaves... and we had a few leave throwing matches!

He totally won.

Sharing the acorns!

Kim and Mark and their adorable, goofy kiddos!

Phew.. sick of me this week yet??   Well .. there's even more to come!!  :) Remember how quickly those gorgeous fall days past by this year??  Well.. time to get a glimpse back!  It's time to share this next awesome family with you. Meet Kim and Mark.. and their three amazing kids.   I have known Kim through work for years now, but immediately felt like I had known her awesome husband, Mark forever too.  So nice and so genuine.  Christopher, Elizabeth and Andrew are so so so much fun.  We had a blast on our morning walk through Borderland State Park.  Lots of laughs, funny faces (and lots of studying the map!) later...  they now have these memories of it forever.   I have to say.. the whole family may give the best goofy faces yet.   And I love every second of those spontaneous, fun, real life type family photos.  Those are the ones that are going to make you smile years down the road.

   Thanks for having me tag along on your morning stroll.  I had a blast!  Hope you love these!!

Very important meeting... time to draw a map!   Andrew looks on like a boss :)

And I LOVE this photo.... Mom and Dad look on, taking it all in.  No rushing the kids to the next spot of pictures.  Just letting life happen and looking on at their kids in the moment.  That's how family photos should be.

Pretty Miss Mya and her baby blues!

Meet pretty Miss Mya!  She is just so cute with her squish-able cheeks and her bright baby blues!  Can you stand it??   So adorable.  I met up with Melissa, Mike and Mya at their gorgeous new home to take some pictures of the little lady.  She is just the happiest baby! (Although... there were definitely moments she was not too thrilled to have me in her face!  I get it!  It's gotta be tough work being so cute all the time!)  She spent the morning sporting a beautiful hat from Crochet Cuddlers and an awesome Minnie Mouse outfit that Mom and Dad had picked out for her long before she arrived!  And phew... after all of that modeling it was time for a serious nap!

I'm so happy for you with your growing family and beautiful new home!  Thanks for having me!  xo

I couldn't help but throw this in the mix!  Seriously someday I'm going to do a baby blooper post... Hilarious

Love to capture the little things while they are still so itty bitty!

Sweet baby Eva and big brother, Nicholas!

Hi, again!  So so much coming down the pike this week.  Christmas editing frenzy over here.  SO..... now it's pretty little Eva and her big brother, Nick's turn!  You may all recognize Nick's adorable big blue eyes from last year?  Click here!  Well, Joanna and Andrew have welcomed their little princess, Eva to the world.  And she is so cute!  And the spitting image of Nick as a baby.  It's unreal.

So so happy for our amazing friends and their beautiful, growing family.  It's always so great to go catch up and watch life evolve for all of us!  I love being able to document your family for you guys.  Love you!  xo
