You may remember Walker (aka "Walker B") from previous posts. Really, how could you forget him? He's a little man about town, full of smiles, mischief, and brainiac activities galore. And now, we'll add "big brother" to his resume. His precious newborn sister, Ayla, has come into this world and she is the perfect yin to his yang. Or yang to his yin. Whatever the case, she is a bundle of CUTE and completes the darling Spence family.

After trying (the fun way) and trying again (the not fun way that involves shots and way more doctor visits than any human should be asked to attend), and prayer, and bed-rest, and some scares and more prayers, Miss Scarlett is here. Kelly, Joseph, and Mason, I am so so SO happy for you. She is gorgeous and snuggable and just divine!

What an incredible honor it is to photograph the second baby to be born into a family! I mean, yes...it's super fabulous to photograph the first born. The emotions that surround that event can't be topped. But getting to capture the new love that is the second born is different. Not only do I get to focus on all of the tiny baby goodness that the newborn brings to the table, but I get to witness the first born's reactions and responses to him or her. It's a very layered situation. It's like a three part harmony...complicated, but breathtakingly beautiful. And now, I am missing the Dixie Chicks. Man, they owned the three part harmony. I digress.

Watching Sophie interact with newborn Amelia was delightful. Watching Mie Mie and Brad watch Sophie interact with newborn Amelia was hilarious. It's these types of intricacies that make moments magical. This is one of my favorite families ever, and I'm so blessed that they let me in to observe and document their intimate moments together. Thanks, Mie Mie and Brad!

This is quite possibly the happiest baby boy I've ever met. Griffin is UP. FOR. ANYTHING. He's cool to take a stroll in the park. He's down for wearing vintage clothes or reading books or just playin' with his toes. I THINK I discovered his most favorite thing to do, though. G Dawg loves looking at himself in the mirror. I would, too, if I was a cute as he is!

Leave Griffin, Kristin, and Jeff some love below in the comment box!

We had a fun session in Austin, TX over the holidays, and I just love how these turned out. They are the cutest little family, furbabies and all!

He's an old standard. He's the Don of the Children of Kate Mefford Photography. The boss. The bee's knees. He's like a fine wine...just gets better with age. I can't wait when he is the ruler of the free world. Then, I can say that I knew him when...

The Danusers make me wish it was the holiday season more often so I could photograph them. It's always a nonstop whirlwind with Ava and Hudson...kinda like a merry-go-round. I'm glad they slow down long enough for me to hop on. ;-)

Christine and Mark are incredibly loving and fun parents, and I'm so lucky to call them friends!

It's hard to believe that Alexa is one! What might be even more difficult to believe is that I've been photographing her big sister Sadie since she was a baby, and she's now 4, but she might as well be 37. Man, they grow up fast! Kristin and Jeff are some of my favorite clients, and they are raising two beautiful, sweet angels who are so fun to watch!

Griffin's precious little smushed face complete with closed eye and a gentle smile make me want to pick him up and snuggle him. No angel wings necessary. He's the real deal.

Kristin and Jeff brought this handsome young lad into the world, and let me tell you...he's a GOOD EGG, that kid. Griffin is such a sweet pea and I'm so pleased I got to make his acquaintance!

Enjoy these pics, and leave Griffin's fam some love in the comments section!

Sweet Sophie is a hilarious 2 year old! I spent a delightful Sunday morning with Sophie and her parents, Mie Mie and Brad, and captured these precious moments. I love this little family as much as Sophie loves hot chocolate!

I adored getting to photograph Samantha and Finley in their much more grown up states. Braces. Pierced ears. But still in love with a good petting zoo...just the way I like 'em. Is it possible that these super kids are getting better with age? They were already amazing to begin with!

Lauren and Brent waited what seemed like eons to meet their baby girl, and let me tell you...she was worth it. Not only is she just stunning, but she is about as easygoing as they come. She is completely snuggable and lovable and I can't wait to watch her grow up!

BUT, the latest craze makes WAY more sense. Lateovers, for those of you who don't have young girls, are basically a sleepover until late in the evening. There's no sleepin'. The friend's parents usually pick up their kid after play, pizza, and partyin' to take them home to sleep in their own bed. Everyone has fun, and everyone gets some form of sleep. It's a win-win.

This summer, Millie's lateover buddy was her swim team compadre and dear friend, Claire. Claire, nicknamed CJacks to the influx of Claires in Millie's life, is so fun to observe. She is ever so expressive, has fun with most everything, and is basically Jess from New Girl in a blonde 4 ft. body. Can't wait to watch her grow up and see what the world hold for her! Here are some frames from our latest lateover.
