Miles Turns 3

"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." - John Quincy Adams

I have spent the last three years getting to know one of the most amazing kids I have ever met. Each year the growth this little guy has is one of the most amazing things I have watched, aside from my own kids growth. Since day one of meeting Miles he has been a kid that has shown me my true passion for kids. I never thought of myself as a "kid person" but each year the one day I get to spend interacting with him proves my disbelief. He seriously is one of the most inspiring kids I have ever been around. I could never say what the true inspiration he gives me is, all I can say is I walk away from my time spent with him thinking he is going to be someone amazing one day. I had a quote in mind when I was beginning to write this post but came across the above quote. Granted it probably doesn't fit the session in most people's eyes, but in mine, it fits perfectly. Every word is something Miles has inspired me to do, and so I only see fit to call him a leader!

Miles, at least during the short time I get to spend with him each year, seems to be a thinker; a serious little boy. He has always made me work my tail off for that one smile I receive each year, but I always get one and every year there is a stronger pull to see how truly amazing this little guy is. Well this year was the most amazing for me; not only did I get a handful of smiles I also received a hug and he held my hand each time we walked to a new spot. Can I just say this melted my heart! To watch Miles transform each year is one of the biggest blessings I have ever known. This session was by far the most rewarding session I have ever had! To finally gain trust from a child is so fulfilling and I can't thank Miles enough for giving me that satisfaction!

Since Miles is turning three I thought it would be fun to add a picture from each of his past sessions. He is transforming right before my eyes, and growing into a very happy fun filled full of life little boy and I feel honored to know him and his amazing parents!




Are his blonde locks not the most adorable thing you have ever seen?

Baby Luke's Birth Story







































































Mark and Amy, thank you for allowing me to capture one of the most memorable occasions in your life. I have to say I am a bit jealous I never documented my own children's births, at least not to this extent! I wish your family the very best, and look forward to watching Mr. Luke grow!

Graduating Class of 2013: Brooke

Brooke is a part of the graduating class of 2013 and is so ready to begin her adult life conquering the world. She is the most adorable girl both on the inside and out. She has a passion for pageants and would love to model. Her mom told me she always wins the most photogenic award at her pageants, and I can totally see why! She is absolutely breathtaking, but her beauty is not only skin deep! She has the warmest personality and is so happy and free spirited. I spent only half an hour with her last week and wished I had an entire day with her. She loves the camera and the camera loves her; a photographers dream girl!

I wish you the best of luck in your future Brooke! Definitely follow your dreams, you will go far in this world; I know it!
