I had the privilege of photographing this handsome fella for an EP he just released a few days ago! Take a look then go take a listen!

I know now-a-days it is customary to immediately post pictures of big life events on Facebook. I just couldn’t do that. Firstly, I’m a photographer and I wasn’t about introduce my baby girl to the world any other way than with my fancy pants camera. Gotta do the little lady justice! Secondly, I know that eventually I would post pictures of her on the web but I stubbornly wanted to keep her from that… even if just for a little while.
Yesterday I did it. I took some pictures of my precious Maisy. It was actually hard for me to make myself take pictures of her when all I really want to do is stare at her with my own two eyes and hold her all the time. I could only manage a few photos because we also just moved. We closed on a house the day after Maisy was born. So, my house is slowly but surely being put together and boxes are getting unpacked but I certainly am limited in how creative I can get with pictures for now. I figured that’s alright though because, in reality, y’all just want to meet her and I don’t need gobs of photos to do that! Besides, I have a lifetime to take pictures of my little beauty!
Anyway, with no further adieu, meet my daughter, Maisy Joy Calhoun!

Sooooooo I pretty much just photographed puppy lovin’ this week. They were just so cute and snuggly! I’ve heard dogs sense when their mama is about to have a baby… turns out my dogs get super sappy and follow me everywhere, particularly Sam. He actually won’t let me out of his sight 🙂
Photo 1: Sam’s new favorite snuggle spot is on top of the baby blanket I made. Glad it’s cozy!
Photo 2: A little doggie on my shoulder.
Photo 3: Sleeping cutie!
Photo 4: Sometimes when he snuggles he gets into very strange positions to do so!
Photo 5: Father’s Day snuggles with the dogs!
Photo 6: My avocado seed sprouted the root about a month ago and finally the sprout started poking through! Looking forward to planting it in a planter soon!
Photo 7: Haley is also a cute little sleeper 🙂
This year is the year of two photo sessions! Josh and I usually do an anniversary photo shoot once a year around our wedding anniversary. But, this year, we are expecting our first babe and thought a 9 month maternity shoot was in order! Mandy Henry has photographed so much of the important moments in our life, we were so excited to share this one with her as well!
First of all, I apologize for the excess of images in this post. Obviously I had too much fun with Hannah + Austin. But, I promise they are all worth it!
Hannah + Austin are dear friends of mine. Turns out, I have the honor of standing next to this beauty on her wedding day! For their wedding gift I gave an engagement session and boy am I glad I did! Not only do I love getting the opportunity to photograph friends but this session couldn’t have been more perfect! The evening light and these two were so gorgeous I didn’t stop photographing for over 2 hours. There is also something beautiful about doing photography for free every now and then. It’s like I have a sort of release and my creative juices actually flow freer because I feel unabashed in asking for outrageous things – like having them climb up into the under workings of a train bridge or myself climbing up into a tree. This session was so wonderful because I had driven past these photo spots so many times I was dying to use them, I got to work with two creatives (they are both musicians and Hannah is also a photographer), and you can’t beat an evening glow under a little bit of weather! I mean, come one, the first shots look like we did our session somewhere in Ireland. Just downtown Janesville folks!
Hannah + Austin, I had such a blast with you two creating these images and I can’t wait for your big day! Whoot whoot!
