I have been so blessed to be able to capture some very special milestones for the Phalin Family over this last year. Some of you may remember Kim's beautiful maternity photo shoot {here} last September and then upon the arrival of Miss Abigail Gray I had the pleasure of doing her newborn photo shoot at home {here} 

So needless to say I was more than thrilled to meet Kim's extended family as she has become such a dear friend to me. Although the shoot was short and sweet the memories will last a lifetime. These moments when babies are small and all of the ones you love are together come way too infrequently in our busy lives and I am so thankful I could be a part of it! Thank you Levy/Phalin family so much! 

3 photo shoots down and less than 3 months old!! She is a pro this one!

All the family together, love this one<3

The Phalin family and proud Grandparents!

I fall in love with every shoot I do. Working with the families to style and pick locations,  scouting out new a fun places to create the perfect backdrop for their special day, and of course the cuteness of children on the day of dressed up in holiday finery, perfectly polished and clean faced. In this case that is how they arrived and for a short time that is how they stayed... But I have to say I love a mama who wants both sides of her children, the pictures you can hang for all the marvel at how perfect your children must be and then the shots I love the most, the real ones. So when the lollipops came out and the faces became smudged with layers of colorful sugar we did what any fun loving family photo shoot would do~ Through them on amusement park rides with lolli's in hand and then have them romp in the ocean to clean up after! These two were tons of fun and mommy and daddy were equally amazing. Thank you so much Kelly family for allowing me to capture just how beautiful you are inside and out!

I adore this shot of these two <3
