The Patel family had some big events going on that the wanted photographed: big sister turned 6 years old and baby brother turned 6 months old. Not pictured here but included in their gallery were photos with two number 6 mylar balloons that the kids loved. We started at their home (I always love that because it's so personal and important to the family) and then headed downtown for some more of my "gritty but pretty" family photos. I'm so grateful for clients who trust me to find them good locations!
Enjoy the photos of this adorable Murray, KY family!

I took these photographs back in August and never got to blog them. Now their new addition has arrived and so this post is especially behind!
I can say without hesitation that Sean and Tiffany are some of my favorite people to photograph. They are super sweet and good looking, so that helps, but I also appreciate how much they trust me and help me grow as a photographer. They're the first people who ever called me their "family photographer" and the first clients I've had to book multiple sessions for the different milestones in their lives. I can't wait to build more of these relationships with the families I'm working with because I love watching the kids grow up and having different sessions with different focuses but that all go together and that (I hope!) they'll cherish in the future.

Emerson was an absolute dream for my first time ever shooting a newborn. I loved being able to go to my client's home for this shoot. Emerson's nursery was adorable. When I was getting ready for Hazel, I spent a lot of time working on her room so that it was a happy, fun, inviting place to welcome her home and I think it's such a great place to capture those first few days, especially with a room as cute and bright as baby E's! I loved the shade of blue on the walls, her crib bedding, and especially the black and white animals above the bed. I'm a sucker for cute farm animals (seriously, I'm the person everyone tags in baby goat photos on facebook) and since both her parents work in agriculture, it seemed especially appropriate.

One of the worst things about living in Murray is how often we lose great people. I love small town life but it is definitely not for everyone and too often, people are lured away by more excitement, better jobs, and new opportunities. I'm really sad to see Elizabeth and Ryan go but I thought it was really nice that they wanted to take some pictures at their home and the MSU Arboretum to remember their time in Murray.
