Life in a Click: Mommy and Me Minis 2015- Ashlin and Karlee

As moms, it is rare that we are in front of the camera. Sure, we get the occasional selfie pictures on our iphones but nothing that we would frame and hang on a wall in our house to display. If you are anything like me, you follow your baby around (and husband, when he lets you) and snap away. The minute you hand your camera to your husband, he goes "oooonnee..twooooo...three!" and you get an awkward smile picture, most likely uneven, half of your limbs chopped off, and sun glares causing closed eyes. Gee...thanks babe. Then you ask to take another picture and they get very impatient. Sound about right?? Sometimes we just want the non-posed, real-life moments captured in some sort of way. I was lucky enough to have a beautiful session with Anna K Photography when Karson was around 9 months old. I will truly cherish those pictures forever. They are timeless. Obviously, Anna is AMAZING....we all know that!

Well, what better gift to receive than a session with your babies that you will cherish forever? Just you and your babes dancing and playing around. Of course in a pretty outdoor field somewhere, right when the sun is setting...sounds pretty amazing, doesn't it?

Ashlin had booked a spring mini session for her daughter and contacted me about possibly adding on a little mommy and me session. And I'm definitely not about to turn that down. How BEAUTIFUL are these two?

This session is very special to me. I feel like I learned a lot about myself as a "photographer" (I still don't like to call myself that...I'm simply a mom with a camera). I have been working on finding my style for some time now and I think I made a lot of progress in this session. So airy, fresh, and natural. No crazy props, no awkward poses....I just love the simplicity of it.
