Mataya {newborn}

Mataya was quite the fighter. She is definitely a girl who knows what she wants and she definitely did NOT want to be messed with for pictures on this day! However, once her momma got her to fall into a deep sleep she was totally cooperative and we flew through the session!

She is a doll. She smelled soooooooo good. I loved holding and cuddling her. Even if she peed and pooped all over me a few times, lol!

I say this all the time but it is totally true. I lucked out by having yet another incredibly SWEET, AMAZING and LAID-BACK family choose me to create these memories!

I get to see Mataya again in a few short weeks (she will be 6 months already!). I cannot wait to see her personality and how much she has changed!

Ivy {6 months}

Look at this big girl! Ivy is such an amazingly happy, alert, not-at-all shy 6 month old. She can totally turn on the smile just when I want her too...and has sooooo much personality that shines in front of the camera!

Ellerbrock Sisters

Maggie and Bella are some of the most photogenic little girls I know! Their smiles are so incredibly contagious and I can't help but to smile every time I look at these photos! Their mommy came well prepared to the session with the stylish outfits and hairbows to match! I can't wait to see these ladies again as I am sure they have changed so much since this session!

Emma {Newborn}

 Emma was such a sweet sweet little girl. I had the pleasure of photographing her momma's maternity session and it is still one of my all-time favorite family sessions. This family is so laid back, go with the flow, and totally entrusting of what I do. These are exactly the type of clients I love to work with!

I loooove when clients bring special items so that I can work them into the session and create memories of their cherished pieces. In these photos you can see that Sara brought Emma's blanket along with the letters and owl art (made by Sara!) that hangs in Emma's bedroom.

Emma's daddy is a pilot so I surprised them with this set up that I preplanned!

Of course we couldn't leave big sister Ava out! She is soooooo gorgeous and soooooo great in front of the camera!

Here is the Durbin Family Maternity Session

Happy Mother's Day 2012!

Happy day today and EVERY day to these and all the amazing mother's out there! Thank you for choosing Levenhagen Photography to create these memories of you and your children!
