My baby Jonah is one month old now and he is the sweetest little guy! He's pretty much the center of attention around here lately. His brothers and sister (and his Daddy and I, of course) love him SO MUCH. Joey is an awesome big brother, Abbie is such a little momma already, always wanting to help with him, and Jack just ADORES him, which is adorable and sweet, but a little trying sometimes when he wants to kiss him or hug him or play with his hands or feet while he's sleeping. It's been a crazy month, and I'm sure it will get even crazier, but I wouldn't change a thing!
This family (sister and brother and their families) contacted me earlier this year about a family session as a surprise for their parents' 50th wedding anniversary. These photos are from April, but I'm just sharing them now because I didn't want to ruin the surprise!
They wanted to do the session at Turkey Run State Park, which was absolutely beautiful in the spring with lots of flowering trees around, but it was drizzling rain when it came time for the session to start. So...we still went to Turkey Run, but we ended up on the balcony of the Turkey Run Inn for most of the photos. Totally not what we planned, but we made the best of it and I think everyone was happy with the results!

Last weekend, I had the privilege of capturing these moments at a 50th anniversary party for an amazing couple. 50 YEARS! I think it's so amazing and inspiring that not only are they still together but they are still obviously so much in love after all those years.

Their daughter and son got together and planned a photo shoot with me for their families back in April and they used those photos as a gift for their parents. I LOVE how they all wrote on the back of the frame!

Ever since I found out I was having another boy, I've had this vision of taking his newborn photos in one of our wagons. I found these wagons at a yard sale a couple of years ago and my kids love them and use them all the time, so I'm sure as Jonah grows up he'll play with them too. I love how boyish he looks in these photos and how calm and sweet he looks. I'm guessing the calm part probably won't last too long...before I know it he'll be running around being crazy like his big brothers!

This bassinet is another yard sale find and I made the blanket he's laying on. That's kind of a big deal...I can't even remember the last thing I attempted to sew, so I wasn't sure how it would turn out but I think I did ok. You can't see it in this picture, but it has a whale in one corner. I went a little crazy buying every baby thing I could find with whales on it (to go with his name).
