sweet baby Ella, here for her 6 month.  we had so much fun playing dress up, well, her mom and I did, not so sure Ella enjoyed it nearly as much, but how precious is she?  she also brought along a few of her favorite friends, love it!  and because she was so close to Monday’s Valentine’s Day Mini, I just had to let her reveal a teeny tiny preview of what’s in store for Monday!  Thank you to all who signed up, I am officially full!  Thank you Ella for such a fun day, already looking forward to next time!

another pre Thanksgiving shoot, the adorable Schwartz kids and their cute little puppy.  super fun afternoon soaking up the last of the warm fall afternoons and the beginning of having to move quick when that sun went down cuz it was chilly!  they were shiv-er-ing when all was said and done, such troopers!  love those smiles.

: : Grady @ 3 Years : : Cedar Falls, Ia Family Photographer

way back before Thanksgiving, i visited the Rowe family at their place for their son Grady’s 3 year session.  as luck would have it we had a gorgeous afternoon with just a slight chill in the air.  was so lucky this past year being able to extend the outdoor shooting season well into November!  so many of these make me smile, especially remembering how badly Grady wanted his Packer gear on (which I’m pretty sure was his dad’s when he was a boy), love it!

i’m jumping around here a bit, but had to quickly share a session from earlier this month on a nearly 60 degree day, Finnegan at 9 months old.  we spent a fare amount of time indoors having fun with mom and dad, but the setting sun and warm temps were calling my name.  toss in an adorable baby with a beautiful smile and you’ve got yourself a perfect photo day.  i drove home from indee that night along side the most beautiful, blinding sunset.  by the time i got home it was gone, but we have these to remember that nearly 60 degree day in january, that first year he was born.

another pre-Christmas shoot with two adorable little boys.  weeks ago, i spent a wonderful afternoon downtown with kayla and her family at some of our favorite hang outs, drinking coffee and eating cupcakes (love my job)!  love how her little baby crashed right there in her arms, love that she invited her dad to join them for some images with her and her boys.  great day!

: : Elliott @ 1 Year : : Cedar Falls, Ia Baby Photographer

I hope everyone is having a great start to the New Year.  We’re finally getting back into a normal routine around here after the craziness of the holidays, toss in a few hiccups and unexpected’s these past few weeks and I am so looking forward to the promises of a new year!  I’ve still got a ton of sneak peeks in the works, old and new.  Today I came across this:

“Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” (Matt 6.34).

perfect timing.

Here’s Mr. Elliott just before Christmas, celebrating his first birthday.  I’m completely in love with him!

Beth Paulsen - These photos are so precious! Wow how babies love books! I am a librarian at the Waverly Public Library (I work with one of your clients - Kate P. who showed me your blog!). I was wondering if I could use these photos on a poster I am making for a fund raiser we are doing here at the library to raise funds for promoting early literacy for babies. I would credit you of course. Thanks! Beth Paulsen
