Paxton & Reagan

This is a family shoot I did at the Bush library to celebrate this little bug turning 1!


I love how babies reach for their mama's faces when they're being held up in the air, and I love how this pose still shows off how tiny Reagan still is.




Snuggly babies are the most fun to hold.



Both the little girls in this family are total posers and I love it. Behold Reagan posing.


And now Paxton! (both unprompted of course)


Sweet sisters!



If I had to vote which little girl, out of all the little girls I shoot, is most like a disney princess I would probably have to pick Paxton. This baby girl is so adorably girly it cracks me up. First of all she grows hair like it's her job, secondly when she's bored or excited she plays with with her hair (example below) and if she's posing she clasps her hands. Ridiculously adorable.









Paxton's mommy does stroller strides....so she doesn't just push her baby, she exercises with it ;)


Then we went to their house to do a cake smash with Miss Reagan. This was after her birthday, so we got to use all her awesome party decorations as props!


How cool is the party accent wall? And it made a great backdrop. I was pretty giddy over it like Reagan here!


The one picture of Reagan happy to be next to cake.


But then she realized it was there!


Luckily big sister was willing to fill in!

Elyssa

This bright eyed baby is Miss Elyssa. She's the 4th and last baby in her family!


This is a handmade quilt her mama made her. I love incorporating special heirlooms like that into photographs!




How do you really feel about having your picture made Elyssa?  ;)





Then Elyssa had a feeding break and I  took some picture of her siblings. It's easy to see why this family has four kids, they make beautiful babies! This is big sister Haley.



Big brothers Rylee and Bryant!













This picture is a composite of three images. I would never leave a baby unattended (without someone holding/touching her) in a field with large animals.




Sweet smiles!


The first of many rides on this family heirlooms rocking horse! Just think about what a fun before/after shoot this would be with an image of her as a newborn and another of her as a one-year-old with the same horse? It will really help show how much she'll grow!
