Bloomington Baby Morton Family Photographer | Family and Cake Smash Session with Addy | Milestone Baby Photos

I love this family and I love even more the personality that has emerged from their tiny human Adelyn. She has the best expressions and the biggest personality. She is working on walking (although since her session, I’m sure she has now mastered it) and she didn’t want to sit still or bed held for more than a few seconds. This little girl was on the move!! She graduated my Milestone Baby Package today – as always, it’s bittersweet.

We ended her Milestone Baby Package with a bang of gorgeous weather, a beautiful location and a big cake smash!

One Year Baby Session and Cake Smash with Jax | Normal Baby El Paso Child Photographer

I have loved following this family with their two handsome boys. Jax just turned one year old this month and we have been looking forward to his outdoor session and cake smash for a while now. We started the session just around sunset time and he did amazing!! He is such a laid back little guy, just along for the ride. We had a lot of smiles throughout his session and he demolished his cake into nothing! Here’s to another graduate of our Grow with Me Plan {tears}.

Grow with Me Wednesday | Kankakee Newborn Mahomet Baby Photographer | Grow with Me Plans

This week’s featured Grow with Me babe is Cannon – he belongs to one of my best friends from Eastern Illinois University where we were both Sigma Kappa sisters! Cannon has been a delight to photograph over the past year and I have enjoyed watching him grow and, because his mom and I are friends, I get to play with him for fun too!!

My Grow with Me Package includes everything you need to document your baby’s first year – each session includes ALL your edited digital images, birth announcements, prints and a custom Heirloom Album at the end of the year with all your favorite prints from along the way. What’s even better? Because these sessions are bundled together in a plan, all of the extras you receive along the way are actually FREE! Everybody loves free, right?!

Tatum 18 Month Old Baby Session | Champaign Baby Mahomet Child Photographer

Sweet Tatum is our baby cousin and she was so shy to start off her 18 month session. We started her baby session in a urban location and hopped around for some cute images then drove off to another little area that the town has cleaned up and now looks as cute as could be. I just love Tatum’s expressions, her curls, and her beautiful eyes!! She is a surefire combo of her mom and dad.

Ellis’s 6 Month Baby Session | Peoria Baby Mahomet Newborn Photographer

Ellis is another Grow with Me Plan baby that I love watching! I would say that, after newborn sessions, 6 month baby sessions are my next favorite! Ellis is the youngest of 3 babies and has been growing like a weed over the past 6 months. Squishy babies are so dang cute, I can barely stand it. Although she was a bit of a tough crowd this night, we managed to capture some smiles and some real life images of her. I love the one of her and her paci when she decided we were done for the night!

Weitekamp Family of Four | Lincoln Illinois Family Rantoul Baby Photographer

This is one amazing family of 4. I was so ecstatic when they contacted me to do their outdoor family session. Katie lives near STL and visits here on occasion, so we made a date. We used to be sorority sisters at Eastern Illinois, and, although quite a bit has changed from then to now, we chatted like it was yesterday. Her family is beautiful and these two are just so laid back! We had a massive downpour the afternoon before the session right up until we were planning to start – then WALAH – the clouds parted and the sun popped out for a little while just in time!! BTW – please take note of her children’s eyelashes! WHOA!
