I remember Josephine when she entered my classroom at just two years old. She was spunky, curious, and had a beautiful spirit to match her gorgeous caramel curls. Today, she is six years old and is just as sassy as ever! She is preparing to be a big sister for the first time and to say she’s ecstatic would be an understatement. She affectionately refers to her unborn baby sister as “Twinkle” and has eagerly helped her parents prepare for her arrival.

I photographed their lifestyle session at their Hanover home. I absolutely adore the decor Amanda has chosen for her girls, especially in Twinkle’s room. The colors and adornments are so unique. My favorite are the children’s literature versions of classics like Sense and Sensibility. Amanda also sewed her own version of a “family portrait” for the baby’s room.
