Awww, little Noah!  What a sweetie!  He put up with lots of outfit changes through this four hour shoot.  It was great seeing Abby and Garrett with their little bundle of joy and I am so glad we were able to get some photos before Garrett left again.  I was “on call” for many weeks as we waited for Noah to arrive.  In fact, Garrett’s vacation was almost over before Noah decided to come see the world.  What a lucky family and what a sweet little boy.

It’s such fun to watch a family grow.  Meeting Codee’ and Robert last year with just a six month old Austin was a joy.  Meeting them six months later to do a one year and maternity shoot simultaneously was so special.  I can’t explain the honor I feel when I get to capture special moments in people’s lives.  Unfortunately, Codee’ and Austin left the next week for an emergency in the United States and I haven’t been able to see them since.  Luckily, the world is a small place and we all tend to cross paths again.  Buon viaggio and in boca al lupo, Hughes Family!

Well, I have been around for these two through their engagement photos, wedding, and now their maternity photos.  I am always overjoyed to spend a day with them and they always have great location ideas for their photos.  This time was no different as we headed out to the Lake Garda area and shot at Borghetto (a gorgeous, quaint town with water wheels).  We explored the area and thoroughly enjoyed the evening as we photographed.  Borghetto was gorgeous, but it was nothing compared to the lovely glow coming off these two.

You can always tell when people truly enjoy each other.  This duo has a strong connection and lots of fun!  A quick after-church shoot downtown made for a fun morning for me!  Kim and I had been emailing about this shoot for months (maybe more than six months??) before we finally could come down with the perfect day.  Between her hectic work schedule and the everlasting rain, we finally made plans on a nice Sunday.  Thanks, ladies, for such a great day!
