What a sweet family! Welcome little Hunter! I so enjoyed spending time with this family the other day with a precious little boy who shares the same birthday as my son! Turns out they live right around the corner from me so I am hopeful that I’ll get to see this little bundle of cuteness as he grows. He was truly such a “pretty” baby and loved to be snuggled and held tight! So, naturally, I was able to get in some snuggle time for myself…best part of my job-hands down! Even big sister, Anslee, got in on some of our session. She is just gorgeous and we got along great! Such a sweet little girl and, she behaved so well to be not even two years old yet! It’s rare to see a sibling this little with a new little one in the home to be so good and well adjusted! Just a great day with a great family! Congratulations!!

First up, handsome little Hunter!

How cute is she?

Sweet little Daniel has joined this precious family and now these two proud parents have three handsome sons and one beautiful little girl! Following in the footsteps of previous photo sessions of her first three children, Daniel’s mom requested that we mostly do black and white photographs on a black backdrop so that they would match. It was fun to do something different than my “normal” newborn session and took me back to my early days of my photography career when I used this backdrop for almost every indoor session that I did. Daniel is gorgeous and his siblings were SO good for their photos with him. I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon with you guys. Congratulations on your precious baby boy! I’m so happy for you all! 🙂

WOW! Ya’ll are going to love this one. I am quite sure of it! This is the stuff that dreams are made from and tangible proof that God answers our prayers! 🙂

One month ago, this sweet family was a family of two, a precious married couple longing to fill their home with children. Fast forward one month, and you’ve got an instant family of 4 through the power of prayer and the miracle of adoption! Meet Lilly, age 4 and Joseph, only about 3 weeks “new”! Aren’t they just absolutely beautiful? These two adorable children are not only instant brother and sister, but also sweet son and daughter to Scotty and Allison. First Lilly came home to live with Scotty and Allison, and then a couple of weeks later, little Joseph was born and he made his journey home, too. There’s much to both of their stories of how each one came to be a part of Scotty and Allison’s lives; however, I don’t really think that is as important as the stories they have yet to be written. Stories of a beautiful God-given family that has only just begun.

I love the joy in Lilly’s face in all of these photos! Such happiness! And, look at Mr. Joseph! Not quite three-weeks-old and he was bright-eyed, alert, and holding his head up more than almost any newborn I have ever photographed. It was such a joy to be with this family and capture their first few days together. Scotty and Allison, your family is simply perfect. Congratulations! 🙂

Lovely Miss little Lilly…

The new brother and sister…

And, baby boy Joseph!

Tis the season for newborns! It’s been a wonderful last few weeks filled with lots of sweetness. This week, little Ingrid’s turn! This little girl is already full of surprises and fun! The day that I was there, she was obviously dreaming about something just amazing because the dream was vivid enough for her that her eyes kept opening and she smiled away…all while sound asleep. It was so fun to watch! 🙂 And, I, of course, loved the opportunity to capture some adorable little newborn smiles. LOVE!

Oh, how I love it when a newborn focuses right on my camera with their eyes wide open! Isn’t she just beautiful?

This sweet family is going to be busy the next few years! 🙂 Ingrid’s big brother just turned 18-months-old, and is just as gorgeous as his new little sister.

Finally, a couple of family shots. Needless to say, trying to get a 5-day-old and an 18-month-old to cooperate at a portrait session is a bit challenging. But, I love our results. First a black and white. I love the expressions on the kids’ faces. It is like she is already enthralled with her brother! 🙂

Megan and Tim, your family is just adorable. So happy for you! Congratulations!
