Savannah got some updated photos done the other day. I've done pictures with her throughout the years since she was a baby.

Anastasia is growing up! She was in today for her last "Watch Me Grow" session before her Cake smash when she turns 1 in July. She is certainly a little cutie.

Olania came in last year for a cake smash for her 1st birthday. She's about to turn 2 and had a tea party shoot this year. She did not want anything to do with it for awhile but Mom finally got her to cheer up!

Little Baby Mikey came a little early and spent some time in the NICU but he did great at his newborn session today! Even gave me a few smiles.

Little Miss Sophie did great at her newborn shoot this morning. She was awake quite a bit, but nice and calm. 5 days old today and just adorable!
