Jennifer and Nick have been in my life since 2008 when I photographed their wedding. The now have a sweet little one-year-old, so the Cooper-Ring photographic saga continues…LOL

 I love this shot of Kayden.

Cousin Audrey dropped in. What’s funny is that I have similar shot from Audrey’s session last spring when Kayden stopped by. I hope we can continue this crying together tradition all the way through high school!

Kayden had an ear infection, so there were a couple points during the shoot that he needed some extra love. Audrey noticed, too, and offered to share a chicken nugget and ball. Sweet, right?

This helped, too.

Classic. 

My son Carson has always loved his mama’s hair, so I totally recognize moments like this.

Nick’s band This Season’s Color will be releasing its new album soon. I’ve listened to it, and it’s pretty amazing. These guys have some chops, for sure! 

Kayden likes music, too.

Thanks, Jennifer and Nick, for keeping in touch and making me a part of your family’s history! Talk to you soon!

I had the chance recently to connect with a wonderful family here in Lexington. One that had just brought home one sweet baby Davis. She surprised us by sleeping through nearly the entire session, except the end while in her parents’ arms. Pretty perfect.

To Laura and Russ—You’re doing awesome! By now I’m sure you’re experts! Soak up these early days while Davis is so cuddly. It won’t be long til she’ll be racing around…lol. I’ll look forward to working with you through the years!

Jill brought Greer by the studio recently for his 6 month portraits. As much as I love photographing families and kids outdoors, I’m a sucker for shots like these at the studio. They’re just so timeless.

Jill—I’m so glad to have met you, your sister and Greer. You’re doing an awesome job. I’ll look forward to staying in touch!
