4 Months Already | Murfreesboro Baby Photography { frogs and faeries }

It's hard to believe that these sweet girls are already 4 months old! It seems like yesterday that I was at their newborn session. Anslee and Addison are getting cuter by the day!

A family that is near and dear to me | Murfreesboro Family Photography { frogs and faeries }

This family is super special to me. I met them back two years ago when I did Brylee's newborn pictures at just ten days old. Brylee has grown into a sweet, gorgeous, spirited toddler in such a short time! And Brylee's mom has become one of my best friends. She is the most thoughtful, caring, and generous person I know. I love you, girl!

I wanted to try some new things in the way of family sessions, so I knew that Denise would be up for anything. I was really trying to capture gorgeous light and the essence of family. Nothing to posey-posey.

Denise - thanks for volunteering up your family and I hope we got some you like!

Some of My Own | Murfreesboro Children's Photography { frogs and faeries }

My cousin's sweet kiddos came up for a photo session a little while ago. Since I didn't have a babysitter that day, I had to take my two kiddos along with us (thank goodness my aunt was there to wrangle them!). I wasn't sure how the youngest one, Kayleigh, would do with my two added distractions, but she was awesome! Big Brother Kayden was a rock star too!

My cousin really wanted a good picture of the two of them together. Sibling shots are a lot harder to accomplish than you might think. Inevitably when one sibling is doing exactly what they are supposed to, the other is picking his nose, eating dirt, or watching the dog in the next field over! The stars rarely align when both siblings are doing just what need to be done. The older the siblings, the more likely we are to get a great sibling shot. Kayden and Kayleigh at 5 1/2 and 2 1/2 did wonderful (have I mentioned how they were working under less than ideal circumstances with my two rugrats running around?). Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful.

I love the little smirk on Kayleigh's face!

Isn't she the cutest/sweetest little thing???

So Stinkin' Cute I Can't Stand It!!! | Murfreesboro Children's Photography { frogs and faeries }

Ava, that is! This kiddo just keeps getting cuter! I'm sure you all remember her urban session from this summer, and she was back last week for her two year session. As a photographer (and a parent!) you never know how sessions with two year olds are going to go. It could be easy-peasy, or I could walk away limping! This little girl was so sweet to me - no terrible twos here!

And b/c we got a shot of Ava's footsies last session:

I can't even start to tell you just how much I love, love, love this one! It is everything I strive for in my work! LOVE it!

I just had to finish with this one. Everyone that has or has had a two year old will understand this look. :)
