Parker is Nine Months :)

One of my favorite little friends, Parker, turned nine months! He’s such a little sweetheart and I really think he’s starting to pose for the camera :) Love him!!

Fun pics on the farm… :)

His sweet mama, Amber, is really good about planning different family outfits for his sessions. So cute!!

OMG, how AAAAADORABLLLLE ARE ALL OF THESE!? I’M SO IN LOVE!!!

LOVE ‘EM ALL! :) I have so many favorites of him but this is my favorite session so far :) He has such a little personality and it is so fun seeing him! His one-year birthday is just around the corner so we will see what we come up with for those! :) Amber and Tom, thanks so much for bringing him out! :)

Much love!!

Caroline’s 18 Month Photos!

I was so excited to see my verrrry favvvvorite little fashionista, Miss Caroline in the studio! If you think it’s crazy to be jealous of a one year old’s wardrobe, you haven’t spent much time with this little chica. :) I am really wishing they made her outfits in my size, especially that outfit with the little blue skirt!

As always, she was beyond adorable, super sweeeeeet and full of personality!

Thanks so much to her fabulous parents, Betsy and Andy, for bringing her! Have a fantastic summer and I hope to see you all again this fall!! xoxo!

Much love,
Ann

Kate & Alex

Happy Monday and Happy Spring Break to those on it. Belle is excited to have a week off of school but is already missing her friends…probably because Will won’t stop following her around! :)

Oh.my.gosh…the most BEAUTIFUL family came to visit me in the studio the other weekend!

Katherine (love this name for a girl!) and Alex were absolute dolls. A couple of these photos I could literally stare at alll dayyy longgg. :) Gorgeous!

We were even lucky enough to get in a family photo and one of just the girls. :) Next time we will have to do one of just the boys to match it.

As always here are my faves…love.love.love.in love.:

Thanks so much to Karen and Steve for bringing everyone out to the studio! Hope you have an amazing summer and that I see you again soon!

Much love,
Ann :)

Baby Parker is 3 Months!

Awwww…this little punkin is three months and just as sweeeeet as can be! He was such a doll during our session…even when we made him model the John Deere boots! :) Both of Parker’s parents work at Deere so we convinced him it was a good idea. ;)

Here are some of my favorites from Parker’s session:

Many thanks to Amber and Tom for bringing Mr. Parker to the studio! Enjoy your next three months and I will see you when it’s warm out :)

Much love!
Ann

Meet Lennon <3

OMG. Who doesn’t just ADORE the name Lennon!?!? Seriously! This little cutie visited me for his seven-week photos :) Such a doll baby! He’s only a week apart from Eleanor. I think next time he visits, they will have to have a little meet & greet! <3 How cute will that be?!

Baby Lennon’s parents, Evan and Kelly (love them!), own Tapas Yoga Shala in Rock Island. If you’ve ever thought of doing yoga, please go. Sunday class is not yoga for the faint of heart…haha. It’s the kind where you’re limping out of the place after the hardest workout EVVVVER. I used to go all the time before the whole pregnancy situation. :) I am looking forward to going back. #returnofthebam

If you think you need toned EVERYTHING by swimsuit season, you should try Ashtanga Sunday class. For reals. They have tons of other classes too at all different levels, so check them out.

Back to the bambino… I had so much fun photographing sweet little Lennon. Hope to see you guys again SOON!! xo!

Much love,
Ann

Chloe is 1!!

Darling little Chloe is 1! I have taken this little sweetie’s photos since she was in her mama’s tummy :) I am so sad that she’s growing up so fast!

For her one year photos, she decided to bring all of her smiles (and a couple serious faces, too). Lovvvvving ALL of these pics and can’t wait to see her again!

Many thanks to Renee and Doug, Chloe’s awesome parents, for bringing her to the new studio. It was so great to see all of you.

Happy birthday, Chloe! Hope to see you all again soon :)

xoxo,
Ann :)

My Friend, Chloe <3

Look at this little SWEEEEEEET PEA! I have been seeing this little darling since she was a newborn. Actually, before that since I did her mama’s maternity photos last fall, too!

Love seeing her every few months. Here are some of my favorites from her nine month photo shoot!

I like a girl who takes her modeling seriously…like Chloe!! She always comes prepared with various Vogue-ish expressions…

Since Chloe, like Will, has a winter birthday, we decided to do Christmas dress photos outside since we know for sure her one-year photos will be in the studio. Loving this dress. Love love love love love.

Here is Chloe with her favorites. Look at that smile she flashed me when Daddy was holding her. Too cute.

Thanks Doug and Renee for bringing her out to see me! :) Can’t wait to see you again in 2012! I hope Santa is good to all of you, especially Miss C.

xoxo,
Ann

Miss Emery <3

Princess Emery came to see my for her annual fall photos! She brought lots of cute outfits and even an adorable chair she was given for her birthday from her grandma. Here are some of my favorites:

As you can tell, her little fall outfit was making me feel a little bit of vintage :) Love that vest/dress/boots combination! Thanks for coming to the farm to see us!

Hope everyone is having fun with their holiday shopping!

xoxo,
Ann

Colin & McKenna <3

HOLA!

Some of you may remember these two little sweethearts from Fall 2010. One of my most asked-about/commented-on photos from 2010 was “that little guy standing next to the tractor.” I still get asked about that photo, so I’ve decided that Colin is definitely the next Stetson model. Love his so-serious looks! Here it is:

This year, both Colin and McKenna brought their A-game to their fall photos! Serrrrriousssslllllyyyy….LOVE. love love love love love love love. They are both so adorable!

Thank you so very much for coming to see me again this year! Hope you guys have a wonderful holiday season!! xoxo!

Mucho love,
Ann <3
