Baby Lily

DISCLAIMER: Reading this post WILL make you baby hungry. Injoy Photography is not responsible for any increase in family size due to falling in love with this baby and wanting one of your own to snuggle. (Although we would love to responsible for taking pictures of any new additions to your home!) 

Little Lily really is LITTLE! At just 5 lbs, 10 ounces she absolutely stole my heart. 

 Sweet dreams Lily...

 Look at those little rolls of skin on her back... *swoon*

 I just love those teeny tiny fingers, and her perfect button nose. 

 Sigh! I love these teeny little wrinkly feet! They just don't stay like this for long! 

Congratulations to her mom and dad! She's such an angel! 

Thank you for letting me come and enjoy her for a few hours!

The Kelley Family

I had the privilege of taking some beautiful fall pictures for the Kelley family this week. They are such a sweet family. Their kids were real troopers as we hiked through the canyon, scouting out the perfect location. I can't get over how gorgeous the colors are! Fall is definitely my favorite time of year! Here are a few of my favorites from their shoot. 

Can you handle the cuteness?

Get ready to meet some incredibly cute kiddos! Meg, Ty, and Tara are such great kids. Little Meg reminds me so much of one of my own kids. She spent the evening collecting rocks and sticking them in her mouth. :) I love her quirky personality. Ty was super shy, but by the end of the shoot he had warmed up enough to give me some great big playful smiles.  And Tara- well Tara is a photographer's dream. She smiled beautifully in every picture and she was endlessly patient all night long. We spent the evening at their daddy's farm, which just may be my new favorite place. :) 

Enough talk! Let's see some pictures!

 Carrie (the proud mommy): "Who wants ice cream?"

Kids ... and dog: "MEEEEEEEE!" 

(P.S. I am a huge believer in bribery when it comes to getting great pictures! I always carry fruit snacks with me when I'm doing a family shoot.)

 I felt like this next picture really captured their personalities. 

Ty- finally warming up to me! I think sitting on his favorite tractor did the trick!

 Peek-a-Boo!

 And one more... Just because I can't get over how pretty her eyes are...

Brian and Amy's Engagements

Brian and Amy are such an incredibly fun couple! Never a dull moment with these two I can tell you that much! They wanted to shoot a couple of laid back shots to display at their reception, so we started our photo journey at the park where Brian successfully demonstrated his irresistible flirting skills with "the girl on the other side of the fence."

 I just love their choice of t-shirts. Perfect. 

 I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic.... and arguably cheesier than a Disney after school special, but you know what? I'm grateful for my gushy side because it inspires me to do shots like these next two. I love having my couples write a little note to each other on a post-it... and the rules are they don't get to see each other's note until they receive their pictures. It always makes for a sweet surprise and it's fun to see what each couple writes to each other. 

I'm so excited for Brian and Amy and their upcoming wedding... and I can see I'm not the only one. :)

Congratulations you two!

Like Mother Like Daughter...
