My best friend’s daughter is like another one of my own. She is two weeks older than my Ruby and I have watched them grow for 8 1/2 years with my heart bursting at each milestone. Norah recently had her first big riding tournament and she ROCKED it!! I am one proud “Aunt B” Here’s a few snaps of her with her sisters Ingrid & Polly. Love you girls!!
I am so far behind on blogging, but I don’t like to skip a session, so here’s one from way back. . . The Schlifke Family.
You wouldn’t believe how the house smelled as I arrived. Like a cozy coffee house with freshly made chai tea. A little quietly played Thomas the Train on the television, lovely photos everywhere, and an entire house blanketed in warmth and soft color. It was so welcoming and beautiful. And to think Sarah just had a baby! She looks amazing, slender with curls playing tricks down her sleeves. They offered me drinks as I took over the huge wood floored nursery. And the baby. Oh, I gush.
And just like that a sweet little family became four.
Emily has the most beautiful little lips and her sweet little fingers ~ OOh! Her big brother, William is a sweetheart. he seemed completely charmed by is little sis. Congratulations, Schlifke family! She is absolutely perfect.
It’s my FAVORITE thing to really get know families and watch them grow. I am thrilled I’ve gotten to do just that with Mallory’s family. When we first met Mallory was just sitting up. This time we were celebrating her turning two! Isn’t she adorable?! And look how they snuggle and love on each other! I love that they just play at our sessions. And shooting at sunset ~ such warm~cozy light. Thanks so much to the McGraw family!
Way back when, I started a blog. I was an aspiring photographer, nervous to take a leap of faith. This gorgeous sorority sister of mine with mermaid hair and a princess heart wrote me back, she asked me to photograph her daughter, Whitney, at Butler University where we went to school. That was 2011. These are the first commissioned images I ever took.
Then Miss Mallory had a turn.
We’ve had several years of fun together now! Here are my favorites from our most recent session.
Thanks so much Meg. There would be no Silver Pennies without you! Your support, kindness, and friendship mean the world to me.
Love,
How a year flies by! Andrew is one! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, red haired kiddos make me swoon!
“And above all watch with glittering eyes, the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.”
~Roald Dahl
Sweet ending to a magical first year.
May you find a silver penny today. You need one to find magic.
