Meet baby Perry!! I was lucky enough to spend plenty of time with this amazing family right after baby was born, a few days later we got together at 7am to shoot this session.

I can’t express how grateful I am to a part of something so special. Both Mom and Dad are in the US Military and I got to know them better over the 2 years that we’ve been stationed here at Fort Lewis. Abigail has grown very fond of Mala, Perry’s big sister.. and it was just such an Honor when they asked me to document Perry’s first few days.

I am looking forward to our 3 Month session, and it is crazy how fast time flies by.. Excited to see you guys again!

Isn’t this just the most contagious smile you’ve ever seen? Goodness me, I could not stop smiling while editing this session.

Say hello to the McAlpine Family. I am lucky enough that my Sister in law arranged this session for her sister as a gift. Isn’t that just the best gift? I spend a late afternoon with them, and the sun peeked through for us just a few minutes.. it’s my favorite time of the day to shoot and I think we got some really amazing images.

I had to use that bathtub for one more session.. at least both Wilhelm and Abigail were completely fascinated by this bathtub in the middle of nowhere.

I’ve know Richard Schulenburg for all my life.. I remember being Abigail’s age and hanging out with the Schullies as we call them.. Over the next few weeks, I hope to blog all the Schulenburg Men and their Families. Meet Richard and his Family, oldest of 3 brothers.

The last image you’ll notice “De Loskop”, when I see that mountain it means “home” to me. The Schulenburg Family’s farms are located right at the foot of De Loskop.. and from where we live and my Family work, De Loskop is always in sight.

Thank you Madelein for all the effort you went through to put this session together. Even if the sun bailed on us.. I think these turned out gorgeous.
