Olive is one of my favorite little babies to photograph! I first met her parents, Brad & Genna, when I photographed their wedding, and couldn’t have been more excited when they came back for her baby photos! Olive is part of our New Life program, which follows her through her first year of life. I photographed her 6 month session a couple of weekends ago and just had to share a few of my favorites!
I also got to ply with my favorite new item – my super cool director’s chair! I have wanted one of these since I was a child, and when I found this in Iowa City for $8, I had to have it! The old cover was faded and ugly, so I broke out my sewing machine, made a trip to Hobby Lobby and another to JoAnn’s, and whipped up a few really great new covers for it. I LOVE IT! And when it isn’t being used as a prop, I am totally using it as my new office chair!
