We braved the January cold for a wintery maternity session at Rice Creek Regional Trail.

Another year of online school and no official school photos, so we went to a nearby park for some of our own. Just one more year and she’ll be a senior, how has time flown by so quickly??

Always an adventure taking this family’s pictures — we explored a bit on Brighton Beach (Lester River Bridge) this time, and I freely admit I almost fell in the water a couple times. Those rocks can be tricky, at least while wearing flip-flops!

This beautiful baby girl didn’t want to sleep much for her session, but that just means we got to see those gorgeous blue eyes more Who could complain about that?

This expecting mama was absolutely radiant for her maternity session. Baby Clara is so loved already.

Welcome to the world, Everly! This little girl was so calm, and loved being held by mommy and daddy (I mean, what baby doesn’t?). Bryson’s already such a good big brother, he was so gentle and sweet with her, and my heart melted so much during this session <3

When it’s too cold to bring the kids outside, we improvise. Beautiful family photos in the comfort of their living room!

This little cutie turned a year old! Happy birthday! He had so much fun digging into his cake <3

I brought this lovely young lady to a nearby sunflower field for some impromptu photos. Dark clouds rolled in instead of golden hour, but we made it work!

This little man was 1 month old already for his session, so we weren’t able to get many sleeping poses. But I love wide, curious eyes! He was a trooper, putting up with our whims and attempts to swaddle him.
