madelyn is the baby in a family of 8 children!  i think it is so sweet that her mom and dad wanted this special solo portrait session for their tiniest and last baby to celebrate her first birthday.

i love this family!  i started photographing this family when they were not even a family yet.  it is an unbelievable privilege of my job to get to see so many amazing families grow. i can’t believe that little izz is already 1!  she is number 3 of these great kiddos.

i love the way these two sisters love each other!  being a mom of kids that are 5 years apart i have a great appreciation of how close these girls are and how sweet they are together.

it has been so much fun to see these two adorable twins grow so much over the past year!  i can’t believe that emerson + louise are already 1!

how adorable are they in their birthday crowns?!

oh my gosh, i want to eat them up!

6-8 months is one of my most favorite ages to photograph.  when babies can sit up and have a little independence for the first time it is so fun to see the excitement in their eyes.  carson is such a happy little babe.  she had me giggling throughout our shoot with her big gummy smiles!

claire is such a smiley little ball of sweetness!  i can’t believe this little bean is already 8 months old.  : )

this warm sunshine and the upcoming daylight savings time change makes me so happy! i am ready for spring, but it also means i only have a couple more weeks to catch up on all of my winter projects! one of my goals for 2015 is to try to keep up with my family photos.  here are some of my favorites from a winter trip to crested butte, the cutest little colorado town ever!  we had such an amazing time doing every snow activity that we could think of when we visited over christmas break.

so much cuteness all in one family!
