This little guy was the perfect gentleman during his newborn session - stayed awake for the first set of images to show off his beautiful eyes and then after getting a bite to eat from mom, dozed off for the rest of the appointment.
And looky here - a smile! 
I love how roly-poly 6 month old babies can be - they are just packing on the pounds until they get the muscles and coordination to crawl around. Jake is no exception to the chubby-bubbly little 6 month old rule - LOVE his rolls!
I am still in shock that Miss V is 9 months already! She’s absolutely adorable (as you can tell) and was such a sweetie to work through a few clothing changes for her session…
I had the pleasure of meeting this duo recently - They definitely look like brothers!
Just a little silliness…
Awww heck - how ’bout some more silliness?
Miss Addie was a DOLL to work with - just a sweet little gal who smiled and coo’d at all the right times. Isn’t her little outfit adorable - loved the bloomers that had the crochet detail that matched the hat and bodice!
… there will always be miracles.
These two images are from a recent maternity/newborn session combination. And this little guy is a BIG miracle - weighing in at a whopping 9lbs 15 oz!
The little guy still growing in this belly has a cute little pair of boots to grow into - a pair his daddy wore when he was a little tyke. Can’t wait to meet him in a few more weeks!
A sweet sweet little chunker - I almost didn’t want to give her back to Mom & Dad.
This first one just might melt your heart… love her little peace sign.
This little beauty came to visit me this week - SUCH a doll! A couple images to share from her gallery:
Meet my little (second) cousin! He’s a rambunctious three year old - a big boy who rivals my own Kevin (who is 20 months older!) in stature! Guess it’s hard to be short when your dad is 6′5″! I was lucky to have a chance to photograph Sam and his family when I was visiting Des Moines! I hope his mom and Grandma (my cousin and aunt!) enjoy the images!
Playing peek-a-boo behind a tree!
This has to be *the* best climbing tree in the neighborhood! Right now he needs a boost from Daddy, but in a few more years he will be scrambling up the tree all by himself!
