addy turns one // nj family photographer

Are you guys ready for the most photogenic, beautiful family ever?!?! Well, good because you’re about to get just that!

I’ve known these guys since before they were a couple, and let me tell you if there is such a thing as fate it was definitely working to bring these two perfect people together. Kim is the female version of Mike and Mike is the male version of Kim – they’re both super sweet, athletic, and easy going. And they’re both self-professed introverts.. which is funny because Addy is definitely not!

It’s funny. Once you have kids you’re sort of forced into situations that you might not have been comfortable in before. Currently my own Frances is in to saying ‘hi’ over and over and over andoverandoverandover again to strangers. And forget about it if they’re walking a dog – SHE WILL NOT LEAVE YOU ALONE.

I got to spend some quality time with this beautiful family of three – taking some portraits and then heading back to their house to document the bedtime routine (MY FAVORITE). See all the pretty for yourself below..

 

They are just the most gorgeous family, are they not?!

 

Oh, Addy. I just adore your curiosity.

 

Addy is a very good sharer.

 

Our little town is littered with hidden gems – these steps were no exception!

 

DIMPLES!!!!

 

Oh hey there, girl.

 

Yes. You are the cutest.

 

BUT THOSE THIGHSSSSSS!!!

 

Favorite.

 

Addy + Chase can just not even deal right now.

 

Jammie babies are my favorite babies.

 

Addy’s room is the cutest.

 

She’s a firecracker. It didn’t take long before she took the book and was all “I can read it myself, mom. Thanks”

 

Kim + Mike + Addy + Chase – thank you guys so much for allowing me to capture your beautiful lives together! And happiest of birthdays to little miss Addy! <3 <3 Love you guys! xo, Lauren
