| Taylor Family Portraits | Decatur IL |

It’s beautiful family portrait day here on the blog. I cannot tell you how much I LOVE to watch your families grow. I first worked with these guys for Jaycee’s senior portraits and now she’s all grown up with the most adorable little baby of her own that look just like her! Having everyone together for big family sessions like this means we also get to take some time to create images of all the relationships within the family too. Everyone get’s their own little bit of time in the spotlight as well as showcasing the whole gang.

And oooo how I love siblings portraits. I’m an only child so I didn’t have any of this growing up but I swear there seems to be no cooler relationship than that between siblings. They may be the first in line to tease you, steal the last piece of pizza from you or annoy you but they’ll also be the first in line to stand up for you and have your back.

| BONUS Blog Post | BabyB Turns THREE | Our Own Portraits |

This week we have an extra blog post to show off our little big girl….

In April, our little gal turned THREE! Since I knew we’d have newborn portraits coming up in just two short months and my deal with Ryan is one family session a year (I’ve yet to meet a dad who loves family portrait day!) I opted to let B have 90% of the spotlight all to herself before baby sister came along. And I needed a few headshots too so we did a ‘just the girls’ session and I’m so glad we did. You pretty much can’t squeeze more personality into this little girl and giving her the chance to let that shine on camera is a blast (plus how fun are these images going to be to show her and/or recreate when she’s older!).

People ask me often about photographing my own family and are often shocked to hear that I do not do our own family portraits (heck no)! Even just doing Baby O’s monthly photos is a hot mess. Photographing my own kids (on anything other than my cell phone) has never been fun for me. I prefer to sit back, relax (hahaha) and just be mom on photo day (and all you mommas know that is NOT relaxing). BUT after the fact, waiting… getting to be surprised by the unveiling and seeing my kiddos true personalities shine is beyond fantastic.

Thanks to Natalie for yet another fun session together. Photos by Oh Love Photography.

This beautiful little girl shares a birthday with my momma so celebrating with her with a milestone session brought a huge smile to my face. Happy birthday to this sweet happy little gal, I know it will be a fantastic year for you!

If you’ve got a little angel coming up on a big birthday (and let’s be honest, they’re all pretty huge) give me a call and let’s celebrate it together.

| Tristen | Warrensburg-Latham High School | Senior 2018 |

While we work a variety of locations and outfits into each session no matter the season, some of our seniors opt to schedule sessions on a couple different dates either to showcase a couple different hair styles (straight/curly) or to get looks we cannot do all in one day (spring flowers and fall colors). Tristen’s first session was this past fall (though with our late leave changes we were still all green!) and this final session was this spring and we did get some beautiful blooms.
