Meet little Mr. X. I have been so blessed to meet so many new babies lately! Xander was so sweet and awake during our session. I don’t think I have ever gotten so much eye contact from a newborn before- it was neat to watch him just take in everything going on! He slept for about 20 minutes, then when I switched backgrounds he gave us a cute little yawn and was awake again. Such a sweetheart.

Do you ever have the moment when you see something and know that it is just going to be perfect? Even at her mommy’s maternity sessions I just knew she would be beautiful, but how beautiful I couldn’t have guessed. Petite and precious- I don’t think I have EVER seen a baby have such beautiful skin so new. Little miss Sarene was an absolute joy, enough so that we just kept playing!
She smiled every single time I changed her pose. I think she is a born performer, right down to her beautiful little feet.
Shannon and Matt, thank you for letting me part of your journey as parents. I am blessed to have you as clients and now as friends.
(This one is my favorite so far!!)

This little man knows how to make an entrance. But is he oh-so-worth all the worry he caused? COMPLETELY.
Most newborns I capture do better without mommy nearby. That mommy smell makes them hungry and squirmy… But every so often, despite the baby whispering, they would rather have mommy near them than me. Carter was one of those babies- but who could blame him? His mommy is rather wonderful.
Once he was snuggled and warm, he was ready to go. We even got his big doggy brother in on the action. I love the curiosity from Tippit about who that little baby is.
I can’t wait for the trees to blossom and the snow to melt- watch for family portraits in the next couple of months!

Newborns make me giddy. Like, lets do a dance in the middle of a store giddy. This little one was no different- and I fell in love the moment I got to snuggle him. It’s always hard for me after I leave a session- because even though we only spend a few hours together I miss those sweet little ones after I leave. I’m so lucky to get to see them again when we have our in-home viewing sessions.
It is so cool to capture a new family in their home. The way they are comfortable in their own space, that everyone can relax, is one of my favorite things about traveling to people. It’s also exciting to capture them in their environment as it is now, knowing that it will change as time passes. How cool is it that you can look back and see what your life was in that moment? I absolutely love it.
Can you believe all that hair? An amazing, happy, BEAUTIFUL baby. Even though it took a while for him to fall asleep, he was happy the whole time. I am truly blessed to have gotten to spend a few hours with him and his family.

After capturing the birth of little baby G, I was SO thrilled to get to spend more time with this family! We had so much fun. You can’t beat a sweet, beautiful, perfectly sleepy little newborn followed by peek-a-boo under pillows and playing outside with kids.
I just adore this family! I love that we got to do newborn images, as well as family ones. They are all my favorite things wrapped into one!
And are they not a completely stunning family? Cuties everywhere you look!

I’m not always great at expressing an experience in writing. I can tell you though, that I have been more blessed by knowing this beautiful family in the last several weeks than I could have known. The first time we talked on the phone it became a 20 minute conversation about how much we love our kids. They are the kind of family that love each other so much that it makes you want to adopt a child, the kind of family that reminds you that love isn’t decided on by the blood you share- but the bonds you share.
I have always wanted to attend a scheduled c-section, but have always assumed that it would be a very stiff and sterile environment- different from the births I have attended in the past. I was very mistaken. There was so much joy in the room, such warmth- just like any other birth. Smiles, anticipation, and tears. The only difference is we knew what time this little one would arrive! It was amazing- and SO cool to see the procedure. Coolest part? Little one’s gender was a surprise!
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your amazing day. Thank you for letting me spend a couple of days with your beautiful family. I am so very blessed to know you all.

Remember this beautiful mommy and her boys? This is their newest addition- and he is just as gorgeous as the rest of the family! He was such a great baby at our session. Even big brother wanted to get in on the pictures. I only wish that biggest brother had been there to play too- but school came first.
Don’t you just want to snuggle them up??

Remember this beautiful belly? This is the sweet baby boy behind the belly! This little angel had a busy day the day we shot him. He flew in from Minnesota, drove for an hour in the car, and then did the session. Even with all that stimulation he did AMAZING! He let me know when he didn’t like what I was doing- but as soon as he heard his Momma’s voice all was well in his world. I could have snuggled him ALL day. Isn’t he gorgeous??
Congratulations Brittany- he is so wonderful.
