I can’t lie. I have a few very very favorite clients, and this family is one of them 🙂 Three years ago I met them as first time over-the-moon parents to sweet Maggie Grace, we hit it off and I did Maggie’s every three month milestone portraits, and was able to see this tiny newborn (my first non-family/friend newborn shoot!) grow into a seriously *gorgeous* one year old, 18 month old, and two year old! A year had passed since I’d got to play with Maggie and I was thrilled when her mom called me up with the happy news that Maggie was now a big sister to Lily!

Lily is the spitting image of her big sis, just swap the bald/blonde Maggie was for a decent amount of dark brown fuzz! She was a doll and let me play with her for over three hours as she had periods of total conked-out-ness and moments of happy awake time. I always like a little of both! 😉

A big thanks to Brandy for lending an extra pair of hands, untying price tag knots, snipping extra cheesecloth, wiping poo off my thumb, protecting my head from low hanging lights, etc and so on.

I’ll leave you with a few shots from Maggie’s session three years ago!

Can’t wait to see Maggie again on Thursday when she models for a one-on-one mentoring session!!
