Happy Half Birthday, Adalynn!
Adalynn is 6 months old! Ashley was SO excited that her baby girl was half a year old and wanted to celebrate! Adalynn was a little disappointed when the cupcake wasn’t real, but it made for some cute cute cute shots!
When Nicole found out she was pregnant with baby #5, she knew early on that naming the baby would be difficult. All of her children’s first names begin with the first letter of the previous sibling’s middle name. With big sister Maddie Elise (and her other big sister being named Erica), coming up with a third E name was going to be difficult!
And so, baby #5 was quickly nicknamed Hashtag #5.
And also quickly, the basketball team jokes started. 🙂
So we had to do a play on both for the Lepper’s maternity session. The concept was the basketball team, with Mom/Recruiter Nicole looking uncomfortable and very pregnant, Dad/Coach Matt arguing with their middle child, Logan, about the baby’s name (with lots of E options) scrawled on the chalkboard), and the rest of the team waiting impatiently for #5 to arrive!
A special thank you to Val at Notre Dame for letting ususe the gym. The colors and setting were PERFECT!
Hey Good Lookin’!
 Easton came to me for his 5 month session, and I could just eat him up!!! Isn’t he a doll?!
Some babies are just entirely too cute for words! Carter was wide awake through his newborn session, but we still got some wonderful shots!
Once upon a time, I went to school with Jennifer. We graduated together, had some college classes together, and then both moved out of state to pursue our adult lives! Then, a few years later, Jennifer got married, and I had the joy of photographing her wedding! And now, 5 years later, I get the amazing honor of photographing Jennifer and Joel’s little girl, Rylie. I drove them all around, looking for the marker a friend gave me for a random patch of wildflowers (a toilet by the side of the road, classy!) and couldn’t find it, and I’m sure they thought I was a bit crazy when I gave up looking and pulled down a deserted little stretch of road and asked them to stick their daughter in the middle of it.
I’m pretty sure they will agree, though, it was totally worth it. 🙂
