Earlier this October, I had the absolute joy of meeting the delightful Ms. Lilly and her super dad, Chase!
I first crossed paths with Chase’s Mom, THE fabulous Karen Conway, this past Spring during my real estate escapades. From there, Karen and I teamed up for real estate photography for her listings and later I even tackled her branding shoot—check out my blog for the magic! She also mentioned she has her adorable grandbaby’s pics taken every six months. Lucky me got to capture Lilly’s adorable moments this year!
When I rolled up to their fantastic home, Lilly was a bit of a shy flower, clinging to her Daddy for life. I’m pretty sure my big black camera gave her quite the scare! But with the ultimate bribe—candy, of course—I slowly worked my charm! Before long, we were besties, and I was showered with smiles. This little dynamo is bursting with personality, and honestly, I just wanted to scoop her up and take her home! You guys are so lucky to have each other, and I can't thank you enough for letting me be part of these magical moments! Here’s hoping I get to be Lilly’s go-to photographer and partner-in-fun in the future!
Be sure to check out the super fun slideshow below, and can you guess who gets props this time? That's right, it's Gramma! (A.K.A. THE Karen Conway!) A massive thank you to Karen for swooping in while I was flying solo this time.—Short and sweet clips of the 'real' are a must!
We kicked things off with a serious cuddle emergency, and naturally, I had to snap a pic of Daddy swooping in like a superhero!
Get ready to unleash the ultimate temptation—sweet, sugary bribes in 3, 2, 1...
She’s slowly making friends with that intimidating big black camera—trust is blooming, one click at a time!
She gently wriggled out of her Daddy’s embrace, and just like that, her adorable little personality just melted my heart!
Oh my stars! This little angel is serving up a delightful dish of Gramma’s charm and those iconic facial expressions!
Keeping tabs on Daddy to make sure he's still in the game!
Let’s give a round of applause to G.ma for these fabulous orange boots, folks! Can I get a "Yasss!"?
Yep, Daddy's still on standby, arms wide open for more hugs! Is there such a thing as too many? I think not!
I bet you’ve all been dying to know who those adorable little fluffballs are! Karen’s got a trio of furry companions! Here we have Enoch and Maybel keeping a watchful eye on the sweet little one, Lilly!
Look at these epic treasures Grandma had just chilling around! The absolute BEST props are the ones you’ve already got in your stash!
The love between these two is like a treasure chest of cuteness!
Let’s roll, Daddy! Adventure time awaits!
Up, up, and away, Daddy!
...and we have a champ! A perfect 10! 🎉 How did she manage to gaze right at me at just the right moment?! Magic, I tell ya!
Isn’t Gma’s porch the ULTIMATE picture-perfect setting? I swear, this wasn’t even planned, y’all!
Oh my GOURD! Could she be any cuter?
Of course Grandma would turn her porch into a groovy time machine with a retro kitchen!
Playtime on the porch was a blink-and-you-miss-it affair! Seriously, who’s got time for boring chores like dishes and laundry? LOL!
Nose to Nose and Heart to Heart.
Let’s jump feet first into a whirlwind of fun!
The cuteness is off the charts!!!
Oh, how I adore those sweet props, but it’s the tiny ones in them that really make them pop!
But hold the phone! We can toss this stuff around? HOO-RAY!
I adored every single second of these precious moments with everyone—especially those last few! She didn’t just snag Daddy’s hat; she totally stole the show! The most beautiful moments are always the ones that catch you by surprise!
Even though I had Grandma busy with video clips, I couldn't help but drag her into a few quick photos—because let’s be real, family pics are a must! Get in there and capture the fun!
Hold my hand Daddy and show me the way so that I can go out in the big world one day..
