A Beautiful Baby Shower + A Beautiful Mommy-To-Be

One of my great friends, Nicole, is about to be a sweet little mommy & last weekend we celebrated her, Brad & baby Ethan. Nicole's family and friends gave her such an adorable shower where she and Brad were blessed with many gifts to help them welcome their new son next month! I loved getting to capture all of the small details and hard work that went into making her shower so special. As you can see from the photos I posted- Nicole is absolutely glowing with her pregnancy and just looks so pretty! 

A Girl & Her Horse

Goldie the beautiful horse and Riley the beautiful cowgirl! I've known Riley since she was a newborn baby girl, I used to babysit her when I was in junior high, and to this day I can specifically remember her calling me out of a room, when she was about one year old, by knocking on the door & in a deep voice saying, 'errrca, open da doooor!' :) And now, over 10 years later, I got to go in her backyard and take pictures of her and her awesome horse. Riley is such a natural with Goldie and can ride and command her like an expert, it's pretty impressive!! Thanks Riley for putting on a fun show for me to shoot & thank you Goldie for taking it easy on me while I had a camera in your face for over an hour! ;)

The A-DOR-ABLE Little Man Quinton Wayne

Welcome to the world baby Quinton!! It wasn't too long ago that I had one of my favorite family/maternity shoots with Thomas, Stefany, and Daphne & now I get to share these sweet photos of the newest member in their family. Quinton is just two weeks old and he was such an excellent newborn to photograph. And a [baby boy] newborn session it was- he peed on his daddy, had blowouts, and made us take a feeding break for him :) I love it!! He was just introducing his mommy and daddy to the fun and crazy world of boys. 

Alright lady with the camera... I'm ALL done! ;)
