This was the first year that I offered Valentine Mini sessions and it’s safe to say that even after 9.5 straight hours and 22 kids, it was worth it. I had so much fun working on the set up and seeing all the kiddos’ faces. We had the mini’s at Girls and Cake in downtown Paris.. so we had LOTS of sweet treats handy. (Cupcakes and cookies to decorate the table AND serve as a treat after the kid’s quick little mini session for being so good.) I had SO much fun with all these sweet kiddos and loved the outfits their parents brought them in. A had some familiar faces as well as some NEW faces.. and I’m completely honored to have had people from 2 and over 3 hours away drive in for these. I apologize for the enormous post.. I absolutely could NOT narrow it down anymore than this… I had A LOT of favorites. :D

This morning I announced the Fall Family Mini sessions were opened to bookings! I’m offering studio AND outdoor shoots on a limited basis. Outdoor spots are almost completely booked up. I have 4 spots available and will not be opening ANY more outdoor session spots. I will have studio spots still available though. Contact me if you want to reserve a spot! The deposit is due immediately to hold the time slot.

Baby Kaymann is 9 months old!! I’m not ready for this sweet girl to turn 1 yet!! Although I was definitely loving this baby chub she’s acquired since her last visit. I couldn’t help but squeeze her.
