Miriam, Cora & Walker
I got to visit my friend Stephani and Joel a couple weekends ago, just about 8 days after their new baby Walker was born. Good thing we moved my visit from the weekend before like we originally planned! Walker was welcomed home by big sisters Miriam and Cora. You may remember them from their session last winter.
Daddy’s hands with Walker’s tiny little feet:

I was the first person to say that he looks more like Cora and Miriam. Time will tell, I suppose!

I did not Photoshop her eyes in this photo. They are just that gorgeous. I just wish she wasn’t giving me that goofy grin! :)

She seems so pensive here. I wonder what she’s thinking about…

They’re going to have so much fun growing up together–all three of them.

And a personal update… I am now at 20 weeks in my pregnancy! A reminder to those looking to schedule sessions next spring, I will be on photography maternity leave from March 28 through May 7 (and some days after that too, but will be working part-time).

Max & Lydia child sessions
I can’t believe that little Max is already 6 months old! He was born on April 30 and you can see his newborn session back in this post. His big sister Lydia is soon to be 3, so we also snapped a few pictures of her. She was cracking me up with all the faces, so of course I had to make a little storyboard!

He wasn’t too crazy about the tub at first but they we let him chew on the rubber ducky for a bit and he was content once again.

While Max was getting changed, Lydia and I took advantage of the nice weather for a few minutes to get a few more shots of her.

Max’s mom wasn’t really needing any Christmas pictures per se, but I asked if I could use Max as a test subject for a couple shots. This supposed baby Santa hat fits NO baby’s head, so I’m in the market for a new one!

Carey: These look great Holly! Very cute. I can't wait to see the rest of them!!

Jeanne + Taz maternity session | Champaign IL Arboretum
Meet Jeanne and Taz! And now you’ll have to wait about 2 months until their bouncing baby girl arrives! She will be making an appearance on the blog then too. I can’t wait! I had a great time hanging out with Jeanne, Taz and Jeanne’s mom Sharon at the Arboretum and the Japan House off Lincoln Ave. in Urbana. Taz left today (Sunday) for his job with the U.S. Navy and will be flown back by the Red Cross when Jeanne goes into labor. That is crazy to me, but awesome that the military and Red Cross do that for their families. Enjoy the rest of my favorites from this session!

I think Taz is going to be a great daddy:

Jeanne has one of the cutest pregnant bellies I have ever seen. We did photos of both sides, but the one with the tattoo turned out to be my favorite. :)

Here’s a sneak peek of yesterday’s maternity session. I can’t wait to meet baby girl in November!!

Can’t wait to post the rest of these for Mama to see! He was so cooperative and alert, even when we wanted him to nod off to sleep.
