HarmonyHill Photography by Christine McIlhenny The moment I gave birth to my first daughter, I wanted as many captured moments as possible. It is a pleasure capturing moments for others, as well!

Watching your child become comfortable with me, my home and in front of my camera is a win I have a hard time expressing with words. I LOVE capturing your family's growth and my client's become family as the seemingly small and large moments become part of my world.

So, when Tommy and John walked in expressing their love for their sister in their desire to be near her, their help throughout the session, remembering to wash their hands and expressing with words what they think of her, I burst. I can hardly handle how these once babies themselves that were in front of my lens are now "Big brothers," able to hold and care for their sister whom they ADORE in every single way.

Meet Emily. She is the SWEETEST little thing, arriving a couple weeks early reliving her family that was eager to meet her. She has gorgeous jet-black hair and cheeks just like her big brother Tommy. She is soothed by Johns gentle touch and loves to be held by both already. Emily was absolute perfection her entire session and the boys were amazed how she stayed asleep the whole time....moaning...or "singing" to us throughout.

Kacie, you are as beautiful as ever and I LOVE seeing you surrounded in your favorite color! So special to have your beautiful little girl, who will forever have her big brothers (and Daddy) to protect and guide her....and how blessed is she to have YOU to be her amazing role model to encourage her in every way as she grows. I loved getting to work with you all once again and I am beyond thrilled for your beautiful family!

What a GORGEOUS morning and what a PERFECT boy to get back into work after the most amazing vacation!! (Thank you all for being patient with inquiries and messages while we were away!)

Say hello to Mr. Lincoln!! This sweet, milky boy has the BIGGEST personality tucked within a teeny, little body. He is curious, wild, happy, on the move, wants to eat/taste EVERYTHING, has the BEST smiles/laugh and loves his music (thank you to his mama for singing Miss Rachel!). This past year flew for us all and what a joy to capture him as a newborn and now just before he celebrates his first birthday!

Happy (almost) birthday.... beautiful, blue-eyed boy! You are truly a gift to our world. LOVED every minute of this session, and now my oldest keeps asking if she can have him after getting a quick glimpse of how adorable he is! haha. Thank you for choosing HarmonyHill Photography and allowing his world to be a part of ours.

Another year in the books for our Harmony Hill girls!!

Kate just finished 8th grade, and is now officially in highschool!! How that happened I have no idea, but I am continually grateful to spend my days with this beauty who forever makes me see life from a fresh, appreciative perspective. She loves all critters, has continued with karate, is a super wiz in math and rode her dirtbike MANY more hours than I expected loving every minute of it. She has become such a beautiful young lady, surpassing me in height and every moment with her is treasured!

Emma Rose continues to find joy in ALL things, however has flourished in gymnastics and had a fantastic year at her competitions and now moved up to gold level! She loves to read, challenge herself, explore, sing and make friends....seeing only the best of each individual in her life. She is my little empath and sidekick in all things. She has moved onto 7th with EASE.

SO grateful to have had and continue to have the opportunity to share my days with these two on our Hill, and elsewhere. The cherry on top of their school year was a cruise to the ABC Islands where both girls got to explore, learn and see things we never knew they'd be able to at such a young age. A huge shout out to our MVP, Eric, who constantly works so hard to support this journey in every way. BEYOND grateful for him, our girls, this job, all of you, our supportive family and friends....we love you all! Very much looking forward to another wonderful year AFTER a long summer off!

Awesome job Kate and Emma. We love you and are so proud!

The BIG one!!

Mr. Jett is turning the big one next Saturday and he is ready for it in every way! Climbing, crawling, standing, taking steps, dancing, hugging, ALL the smiles and passing out love in every direction he squirms off too as quick as possible! Needless to say, Jett is the busiest most curious little man, ready to explore and learn while doing so. His beautiful blonde hair is as wild as his soul, and I can't WAIT to see how amazing his life's journey will be because of it! What an awesome babe...and how fast did that year go?!?

Happy almost birthday, beautiful boy! You are everything wonderful!

Peek big sis who hopped in for an updated portrait bringing in those gorgeous smiles as well! Sage is a beauty through and through!

A butterfly, a hummingbird floating above you, a sweet smile from a newborn baby....

These are just a few of the little gifts we cling to when we've lost someone that bring us comfort.

I find it significant that the moment Ryleigh was telling me of her dads passing was right when I was taking the first photo of this morning session....and this beautiful angel smiled.

Say hello to Lakelyn Mae. Just one week ago today Steven and Ryleigh happily welcomed her into our world a couple weeks early! Despite a very hard pregnancy for Mama, Miss Lakelyn is as healthy as can be and is loved beyond measure! She has the most beautiful little face and such a soft, sweet personality. While she is over 7 pounds, this little miss curls up SO little, mimicking being back inside her mama and certainly LOVES to be cozy.

I LOVED getting to meet and work with you all. Lakelyn is pure perfection, most darling in every way! Biggest Congratulations to all, love on her every moment!

Thank you for choosing HarmonyHill Photography. A HUGE thank you to Marissa for gifting this session...what a special thing to do for these three! I ADORE your excitement over Lakelyn, nothing better than to be loved and supported in this way.

I saw a quote that said, "Your education is a dress rehearsal for a life that is yours to lead."

For YEARS Ricky has been learning, both "By the book" and hands on to educate himself towards his goals. He is smart, funny, hard-working and extremely passionate about his interests. As a Mama myself, and as a friend of HIS Mom, listening to her talk about his journey and how he is thriving I KNOW he will succeed in life alone on the fact that he is willing to do whatever it takes to push through a task.

Stand tall and be proud, Ricky. You've stepped from "dress rehearsal" to the "real deal" long before this day. BIGGEST Congratulations, prayers and well wishes on wherever your heart takes you!

Jackson Reed....

We prayed for him, celebrated him, welcomed him and now officially photographed him inside AND out on Harmony Hill!!

Welcome to our world sweet boy! Almost a full month ago Alexia and Sean welcomed their beautiful son into their world...and so beautifully share him with all of ours. Coming from a long line of amazing, kind, generous and "warm" people, it's no wonder this sweet boy, even at almost a month, was a COMPLETE gem his entire session. With one snuggle he can overflow your cup. Jackson is soft, beautiful and already the snuggliest little man to hold.

Alexia, I am SO proud of you. What an amazing mother you have become both while you prepared for Jackson, grew him and now raise him. I simply cannot picture you without, already. You and Sean make a wonderful team....with love and care pouring out of both of you! BIGGEST congratulations.

Thank you SO much for allowing me to capture you all and thank you Aunt Nancy for gifting this session. The most memorable gift ever! Love you all....it was wonderful getting to spend the morning with you.
