Joyful Expressions Photography

Something so special about the uniqueness in this engagement session! I know we are about to enjoy spring but I just had to share this snowy shot from the last snow fall.

Just a heads up ~ I have only a few spots available for Easter/Spring minis Friday the 26th. I hope you all enjoy this lovely weekend!!

Little man you are absolutely perfect! Along came this tiny Miracle and no day was ever ordinary again!

I do believe little man is beyond excited to be a big brother! I can only imagine the adventures in store.

I don't think I've ever had two sessions look the same. In the studio we may set up props and plan out the day. But each child brings their own personality, sense of humor and style that changes the sessions. And that is one of my favorite things about working with kids. Don't forgot to book your Easter Mini for Saturday March 20th or Friday March 26th

Sweet little Declan was my first newborn session of 2021 I love being able to work with so many amazing families and sweet little ones! Happy New Year to all my clients, friends and family!!!

I am so excited to do this shout out. This lovely image was shot in my studio with newborn outfits made by the amazing Sheena Painter. When I ordered these outfits at the beginning of January I had no idea they would be on three adorable models at the same time I did not capture this photograph, my super talented friend Denay over at Denay Green Photography made this magic happen. I am blessed to be in a business where I can work along side such kind talented people. Head over to Denay's page and check out more loveliness from this session.

I am pretty sure this is the face I make when people insist that the weekend is over Hope you all had a great weekend!! I spent a lot of time playing with my kiddos at home. It was so nice to take a little time to do nothing. If I were to guess I'd say my kids favorite part was the multiple games of Clue especially when Sissy said "It was my mom, in the library where she suffocated someone with the rope" Whaaaaa? Like that's not even an option in the game Neve...r a dull moment. If you have a fun story about your weekend I'd love to hear it! Sending out blessings and hope for a great start to the fall season, since tomorrow is September 1st. Is it too soon to set out pumpkin decor and start pulling out all those lovely oversized sweaters? Asking for a friend, kinda Also - isn’t he just the cutest little dinosaur !!!
