It has been quite awhile since I posted personal photos of my little ones, now 4.5 and 2.5 years old. I feel so lucky to not only do what I love for a living, but to also be able to spend so much time with my children, watching them grow and capturing the important times in their lives. Here are some of the photos I have taken over the past year and a half and what they were taken for:

This photo was taken for their 1st and 3rd birthday invitation. We had a joint bubble birthday party, hiring a bubble specialist to entertain the kids.

This photo was taken for Jaelyn turning three and Griffin’s 11th month:

And this is their cousin Beckett who was vacationing with us. Love this shot of the two together!

My daughter and her friend Harley had a Frozen 4th birthday party. These were the invitation photos (one of each girl as Elsa since they both adore her!)

Griffin’s 2nd Birthday invitation (superhero party, of course!)

And Halloween 2014:

This was an outtake and my favorite image of the shoot but I went with the shot above for a more warm fuzzy photo.

And this was taken on a tripod:

Taken a week ago, this was to document their half year marks and new haircuts!
