the Linke family

I've been taking pictures of the Linke family for three years now, and it's so much fun to watch their family grow and be able to take pictures along the way. Lauren, thank you so much for coming back to me each year! :)

These are pictures of Lauren and Andreas and they're beautiful little kiddos, Alaina and Miles. Alaina was just about a year old when we I first took pictures of the Linkes and now she's around three! She's grown so much since I first took her picture two years ago. :) Little Miles is 7 months old and is such a cutie pie with his bright blue eyes and even though he had some eczema around his mouth, he's still a cutie pie.

I was playing around with something a little new this time and created a slideshow, below the slideshow, I've got my favorite pictures from our afternoon together. Let me know if you like the slideshow! :)




These are the first few pictures of the family together. I usually like the pictures with everyone goofing around better and I love the look on Alaina's face as she's peeking around Lauren's shoulder as everyone's laying on the grass together.


During family portraits, I try to take a variety of pictures of the whole family together and then some individual frames with each parent. Here are some adorable pictures of the kids each with mommy and daddy.


Alaina and Miles had a blast playing on the swings together at the park. I really like the cute picture of Miles down on the grass and then the one following with Alaina helping show Miles a leaf in the grass. Lauren and Andy, your kids are gonna be rock stars! :)

Miranda and Stuart

In just a few short weeks, Miranda and Stuart will have their first child. A little girl. I met up with the soon-to-be mom and dad earlier this month to take a maternity portrait while Miranda was in her last few weeks of pregnancy. It was a beautiful afternoon with beautiful weather and all the pictures turned out wonderfully.

The first few pictures we took were of Stuart and Miranda's hands reaching across her belly. These pictures are always fun to do and I think it's fun to look back on these to see what your belly looked like just before having a baby.


These next few pictures were in different spots in the park. I really like pictures of couples looking at each other instead of at the camera. There's something about how a couple looks at each other in the eye that has a certain draw for me.


We couldn't resist playing around on the playground equipment. We wanted to take it a little easy with Miranda, but Stuart was more adventurous for me...and I'm all about adding some adventure in the mix. :)


I really love these last couple pictures of Miranda. She's so beautiful in these and she looks so happy. I can't wait to meet her little girl!
