Peaceful Dreaming

I love watching babies sleep. While they are dreaming, their little expressions amaze me. What is going on in their little minds? What makes them smile, frown, and pout? Cal slept right through pictures. When swaddled in the white blanket, it seemed as if he were tucked quietly into a snow bank. So peaceful. So content. What a sweet little Christmas present he is.

Making Memories

Family pictures are strongly encourage by me, not just because it's my profession, but because it causes great family memories. (Heck, I'd probably do it for free if there weren't bills to pay!) I love seeing family camaraderie. I made it my goal during the Kumm family pictures to get a few genuine smiles out of them (if you know the Kumm brothers, you know that can be a challenge somedays). A smile can last a second, but more importantly, it's memory lasts a lifetime.

In a few years these pictures may be covered up by more up-to-date pictures, but the memories made with always remain. Here's to you Kumm family...here's to making lasting memories.

Dad's Hat

Hunter was a little shy at first. He didn't really know what to think of the camera. I think he actually became a little teary-eyed at times. That was until his dad's red hat was brought out. I've never seen a kid so excited to see a hat. As soon as he laid eyes on it, the tears were gone and a smile was on his face. I was so happy to capture Hunter with one of his most prized possessions. What a difference a big red hat can make— just one of the reason why children amaze me.

All Dolled Up

Laila is quite the doll (and cute as a button!) Wherever she went, her mom was close behind with a different flowery headband or a change of outfit. I could tell that she loves dressing her up and making her into the cutest lil diva on the block. Her dad just stood by and shook his head proudly. I bet he's already plotting to build on another bathroom.
