Hatch

Meet Hatch, Howard's big brother. He was such a cutie. It was raining out, so we had to hide under a gazebo. I asked his Dad to hold an umbrella over me, and you should have seen Hatch's face light up while he shouted, "Umbrella!!!" over and over. The joy was absolute.

Elise

What a precious little thing she was, so peaceful the entire time I was there. I could have been happy holding this little one in my arms all day long. This one in black and white and color, because I can't decide which I like better.

Tyden and Co.

How could you not be in love with him? Look at how cute and happy he is...and you could just see that his mom and dad were head over heels in love, amused, and enthralled by him.

And one that I just LOVED of mom and dad--they just fit so comfortably together; it made me happy.

Tyden Sneak Peek

Oh, this was one BUSY boy! But what a cutie...not gonna show you his face just yet:) but I laughed so hard when I opened this. Looks like he's pulling a pop star dance move. More to come soon.

Howard

Meet sweet Howard..I love his name--it's the same as my Grandfather's. :) And this Howard was such a sweet fella. He loved curling those arms right up next to his face, and every time I tried to move them, they'd go right back. We did these pics at Howard's grandparent's house, and let me tell you--it was gorgeous. I was SO bummed that the weather that day was so (so) dark, that I just didn't have enough light coming in to do what I wanted (yes, photogs, you'd be drooling over the possibilites!). Instead we set my lights up in the kitchen and took a majority there. In addition, the family was having a wedding the next day, so people were coming and going and it was pure chaos. Howard's mom was very brave to do pictures in the middle of all this, and Howard was an angel, and bless Grandma and Grandpa's hearts for letting me come into their beautiful home and letting me take over for a couple of hours in spite of everything they had going on!!!

6 months old is all about grabbing your toes, scrunching your nose, and stuffing your hands anywhere they'll go....mostly the mouth;)

Lincoln Sneak Peek

Yes, I do think he might just be the cutest 6 month old to grace this planet.

Kate

My cousin brought over her sweet baby Kate so that I could practice with my lights. Oh my, she's cute, but she's 6 weeks, an admittidly tough age for me to photograph, add that to trying out lights and I'm happy we got a few cute ones:)

Windy

Windy and me, yeah, we go wayyy back. :) I've known her since we were in 4th grade. I've always adored her. She's brilliant, really brilliant, and so likable too. I remember when she used to write these stories and she'd give them to me to read...I thought they were fantastic; her imagination is ridiculous (the good ridiculous!). She got the writing bug again a few months ago and just finished her first book. All that, and she still works and has a family. Amazing!

Peyton, give the baby a kiss......I think she decided she'd rather eat her mom's belly:)

And Joanna Taylor Photography is booking only a few more sessions in June, and then into July, so if you want a session, schedule now!!
