The Puccio Family

Oh, how I love the Puccio Family!

I have taken their family photos for years – we were neighbors and we are friends.

This is a sweet family of four!

We had a great time with their Family session at their home!

The home and yard is a fabulous and picturesque background!

Phillip and Karen have two of the sweet kids.

Evie and John Davis are full of energy and have the most precious smiles!

Their two stunning dogs joined in on the fun!

Look at these sweet kiddos!

They found sticks and we played pirates.

Mom did a great job with dressing these two – these colors definitely popped among the foliage.

Tobias Hopewell

I loved having the Hopewell Family in the studio. Their son, Tobias, is so adorable and snuggly.

We used blankets and wraps (plus our trusty heaters) to keep him warm in the studio.

Tobias is holding his rattle that his Grandfather made for him.

I love this rattle. What a wonderful gift!

How precious is this little fellow?

I can honestly say he was a perfect model. He was so happy and content with sleeping.

He loves being held by his parents.

How can you not be smitten with this little cutie.

He gave me the sweetest little smile!

Thank you – Duncan, Bridget & Tobias – it was a pleasure meeting you all!

Ann Peyton Lockett

A beautiful in-home session with the Lockett family.

An in-home session is perfect for a newborn session because your newborn feels secure and content in their own home.

The Lockett’s have a beautiful home and family.

Miss Ann was a joy to photograph.

She is so pretty and loves being held by her parents, Peyton and Traci.

Look at the gorgeous head of hair!

Ann is a little angel!

She enjoys being swaddled and being held by her parents.

Big brother, Brooks, loves his little sister!

He is an awesome brother – he is never too far from her.

Another reason I love in-home sessions, I like to include personal items in my clients’ home.

Ann’s grandfather made her these wonderful wooden toys.

Thank you all so much for welcoming into your home!

February Craft w/ AmyP

February is always a fun month to get creative with gifts.

Pinterest is a great go-to for crafts and gifts.

One of my most favorite crafts that I gifted myself was silhouettes of each one of my children.

This is a pretty easy craft and you only need a few items.

You will need the following:

Printer

White card stock paper

Black acrylic paint

Paint Brush

Camera – phone camera works

Scissors

A colored sheet of paper of your choice

Take a picture of your child’s side profile in front of a sunny window or a solid color wall/door.

You will want to print out this photo – it is completely up to you on the size that you print.

(I chose an 8×10 photo for an 11×14 frame) but smaller photos are so cute too and make great ornaments.

Once the photo is printed, you or your child should flip the photo over and paint the back of the photo (so paint the entire white page.)

Once the black paint has dried, flip over the page which shows the photo of your child, and now cut out the outline of your child.

You can then flip now flip the photo again and here’s your silhouette.

You can glue or tape the silhouette to the colored page, write their name and date it. Then you can frame it.

A Year in Review – 2017

Thank you!!!

Thank you all so very much for an amazing year! It’s been such an amazing experience to be invited into some of the sweetest moments. You’re all such great parents with the best babies and kids!

I have a lot of things up my sleeve for 2018 and I hope you’ll join me for another year of making beautiful memories to last a lifetime!

New Year’s Resolutions w/ AmyP

New Year’s Resolutions w/ AmyP

Most everyone have a few resolutions for the New Year.

But, normally, we plan them for just ourselves.

But have you ever had a New Year’s resolution for your family?

After researching them and talking with my family, we have decided to plan a few for our family.

Here are a few that I have found to get you started…

– Get Outside More – unplug from life and be adventureous. Step outside and soak up nature.

– Be a Gracious Family – a grateful family = a happy family

– Record Life – live life but also take photos, capture those memories and share those memories.

– Read Together – I love this one and stole this one. Is there a better bonding time?

– Schedule a weekly game night – speaking of bonding, this is a great way to be silly together and have fun.

– Eat and make healthier food together – healthy families are happier families

Wishing you all a Happy New Year!

Beautiful Mom Shellie and her adorable newborn Hudson came into our studio for a Newborn Session.

It was such a pleasure meeting them both.

Hudson is an angel!

He loved being so close to his Mom.

So content and happy in her arms.

He is so handsome.

He love being swaddled and snuggled.

Our studio basket provides a perfect place for our special clients.

Isn’t Mom absolutely stunning.

Look at that beautiful head of hair!

I told you he was a little angel.

Love that sweet little pout and how he is sleeping on his little hands.

Alden Mitchell Rahe

Sweet clients, the Rahe family, was in the studio and I could not be happier.

I love this wonderful family. Anneharris, Kurt and CJ welcomed a precious bundle of joy, Alden.

I love capturing those adorable newborn yawns.

Our studio is the best place to take a sweet slumber.

We try to please our lovable little clients – we will swaddle them and provide a cozy place to lay their heads.

Big Brother, CJ, is in absolute love with his little brother.

I envision many years of fun for these two guys – best friends for life.

Fabulous family of Four!

Family heirloom quilts provided a beautiful and comfortable backdrop.

Mr. Alden, you were a joy to photograph!

December is here!

December is a great month for crafts! My month is filled with crafts and baking with my children. I love crafts but my favorite crafts are the ones that I can reflect back on… this has to be one of my favorites:)

Handprint Holidays

You can paint this on anything but I have this on a plate and will you directions for a plate.

You will need the following for this craft:

– acrylic paint

– brushes

– baby wipes

– a glass platter or plate

We used brown paint for our reindeers and green for our trees. So their hands were reindeers who are tangled up in Christmas lights and a little ones foot is perfect for a Christmas tree.

You can definitely change it up. I have seen angels painted using feet and trees made with hands. I just thought this idea was cute.

*remember, if you do not like your design – you can simply wipe it off using water and start again.

Once you finished your ceramic plate – set the paint by baking the plate in the oven at 300° Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. I suggest leaving your plate in the oven, turning it off and allowing the oven to cook down and then removing the plate.

I look at back at this plate and remember when they were this little. Best handmade craft ever. These are also really great gift for family members.
