I have been photographing this little beauty since she was two. I cannot believe Aubrie is so grown up already, and this photo session really highlights her charming personality. Believe it or not, this was the first time we were able to get her parents to jump in a few photos – and I’m so glad they did! I think they will be pleasantly surprised, too. Aubrie really expresses herself and feels at ease when she is with them, and I enjoyed capturing her special, unique bonds with each of them.

I've loved getting to know Rich and Kristy over the years. They love Aubrie dearly, and she is the best mix of sweet and spunky. When you see her, you just can’t help but smile. Every time we meet, I love catching up with all three of them, and it’s been fun to see how my conversations with Aubrie are a little more involved with each passing year. She is so smart and hilarious!

This was a really fun shoot down in Hyde Park. This place is full of fun gems. The painted murals in the area provide lots of funky backdrops that are perfect for kids’ pictures. Amazingly, her pretty navy and purple floral dress coordinated perfectly with one of the teal and purple walls! These were some of my favorites! And she couldn’t look any sweeter as she posed in front of the huge heart wall. Hyde Park also has a beautiful fountain and lots of greenery lining the sidewalks – photo opportunities galore!

I’d have to say, though, that my absolute favorite photos are of Aubrie and her daddy. The two are so silly and sweet together. I love the photos of the two of them making goofy faces at other. I know Aubrie and her parents will cherish these pictures of the three of them together so much over the years as she gets older.

Once again, I had a blast with this special family! Can’t wait to see them again soon!
