Top 30 - 2017

Whew, well 2017 is a wrap! 

Since I am stuck at home on the 1st day of 2018, (because of the below zero weather and a miserable cold) I thought I would share some of my favorite images from 2017. I don't think I have done this before, but I should have!!! I loved going through the images and seeing all I have done this past year. It helped me to see what I want to do more of, and where I could improve. 

So - what I have learned - I LOVE PEOPLE! I love relationships, families, and kids. They are beautiful, joyful, and unique. The reason why I do what I do, is for people, and more specifically incredible mamas that want me to document fleeting moments of their families. I love that. I love being able to offer something that will be cherished for years. Something that matters. Relationships. Laughter. Memories. 

What do I want to do more of? Seniors! I had the best time with Madisen for her senior pictures & I hope to do more sessions like that for 2018. Also on the list for 2018 is spring sessions when the trees are blossoming - how amazing does that sound!?!? Yeah I want to do some of that! AND puppies... our sweet dog died a year and a half ago... and we really miss having a her around, but since we are gone so much we don't know if we should get another... but I am happy to photograph your pets for you!

Ok so that was a ton of information!!! Sorry about that! 

Enjoy scrolling through some of my favorite 2017 images! 

Little Baby Bauer is a...

I am so excited to meet the newest little addition to this sweet family!

Thinking about the past 7 or so years, (when I first did couple photos of my dear friends) it has been such a privilege to photograph the Bauer family as it has grown and expanded. It is a huge compliment when a client comes to you again and again to have you document the important moments in life, and I think I have photographed this little family more than any other.

Thank you Mariela, for entrusting me to to capture these fleeting memories for you. It is a pleasure.

I don't want to spoil the fun, so you will have to scroll down to find out what baby Bauer will be... 

I have been over sharing this gender reveal because I am so excited for them, but if you want to see a little video of this series check out my instagram feed. 

that's right, PINK, this little peanut is a sweet baby GIRL!!!

Look at this tiny little bump, it is hard to believe there is a little human growing inside there!

AND of course PINK cotton candy to celebrate this SWEET BABY GIRL!

This is how they feel about knowing their little one is a GIRL!

So much sweetness, I am already dying to photograph her tiny fingers and toes.

July can't come soon enough, I am sure Mariela agrees!
