Inara Studios

Last week I headed out to Kingston Springs to photograph a lovely family! Jeremy and his wife won this portrait session at the benefit concert and silent auction we had for our friend Ruthie last year. UPDATE: Ruthie had the risky, neck surgery a few months ago and is recovering fabulously! We are so excited for her!

We had a wonderful time during our session. Isn’t their family super sweet?

I think I made a friend that day… little “batman” even invited me to stay to dinner. =)

Jeremy & Kierstin - thank you so much for an amazing morning!

Sweet Emma Ruth was 7 days old when I photographed her newborn session. Her mommy and daddy wanted to do a mix, some photos in their home and nursery, and some at our studio. Unfortunately, our A/C went out the day of her session so we had to postpone the studio shots for a few days.

And just in case there is someone out there who thinks newborns behave perfectly or sleep during an entire session… they do cry sometimes!

The studio shots: I absolutely LOVE family portraits like this!

Emma Ruth must have loved being in our 84+ degree studio that afternoon (which was on purpose!) because she fell asleep quickly and didn’t wake up until they put her back in her car seat to leave. I told them they could bring her back anytime to take a long afternoon nap in there. =)

This fireman’s helmet belongs to Garret’s daddy. He sure enjoyed getting his hands dirty… Isn’t he cute?

I can’t believe Garrett is already 9 months old and that we only have one more session (his first birthday) before we are finished with his Baby’s First Year portrait plan!

Craig and Jenna got married fifteen years ago this summer. As a way to celebrate this special anniversary, Jenna contacted me about doing a portrait session of just the two of them. I absolutely loved working with them and capturing their relationship in photographs! You guys are so fun and adorable!

P.S. Thanks for the tips about Italy. I can’t wait! =)
