Welcome to the world, Bryant!

May 17, 2010

Sweet newborns…ahh, soo adorable. I could just shoot newborn sessions every.single.day and never tire of them! I love it! Little Bryant was no exception. His mommy told me that she had been talking to him for several days about how he needed to be good and behave for me when I came to take his photos. He obviously is going to be a very well behaved little boy! Russell and Heather, you’ve done good and God has granted you with an amazing gift! Bryant is gorgeous! Congratulations!

Bryant’s nursery was decorated in Sock Monkey decor. It was beyond cute! 🙂

And, the icing on the cake is below. All you moms and dads and photographers out there know that it is very rare to catch a little newborn smile. This day, I just happened to be there at just the right second to capture this little gem! Loooove it!

Brooke and Bo

May 5, 2010

I adore photographing families at their homes. It gives such a special significance to the photographs and the children are so comfortable as well. The other night, Brooke and Bo played with me at their home. The home was perfect for photographs…especially in the spring with the the gorgeous azaleas. We laughed, played peek-a-boo, follow the leader, and Miss Brooke even found a minute to color with her sidewalk chalk. When I saw this I snapped it quick and I think it is now one of my new favorites. I just love when kids “make their own pose”. I just happened to be lucky enough to be there as life played out. 🙂 Beth and John, your children are adorable. I can see why you treasure them.

Will and His Sisters

April 27, 2010

Will already knows how to handle life with two big sisters…just stay calm and relax through it! Little Will was a champ at his Newborn Session last week and let us photograph him over and over! This little “surprise” in the lives of this sweet family is already a clear gift from the Lord. He already brings such joy into their lives. I loved my time spent photographing Will on his own as well as the interactions with his big sisters. Welcome to the world, sweet baby! I bet you will never miss a day without a hug from these beautiful girls in your life!

Adam Stephen…A little Rockstar!

April 19, 2010

Remember these beautiful ladies from the Mini Sessions?

Well, they’ve just become big sisters! Little Adam Stephen was welcomed into the world about a week after this photo was taken. It was such fun to visit their home and have them share with me and show off their new little brother. Sweet Adam Stephen was such a GREAT baby to photograph. That’s why I call him a Rock-star. Just let me play and pose to my heart’s content. Plus, check out this hair! How could he not be a Rock-star with those locks?

He’s just beautiful! Congratulations to Adam, Julie, Isabel and Iris on the new addition to the family!

This last one is the exact same shot. I just simply couldn’t decide color or b/w…so, I shared both! 🙂

Don’t you just love it?

February 11, 2010

Abby. She was such a gem for me yesterday. She was so alert and looked right into my camera which is a rare thing for a baby only 7 days old! And, then, like a little princess she fell fast asleep and allowed us to pose her to our heart’s content.

It was such joy listening to the “oooh’s and ahhh’s” of Abby’s Mom, Dad and Grandma. They were so proud of her and it wasn’t hard to see that they were quite enamored with this little treasure. She’s the first for this sweet family and I think God especially blessed little Abby with a loving family!

There are so many gorgeous pictures. I am not sure what I am more in love with from this session. It’s a toss-up between the great light of this beautiful home, the awesomeness (is that even a word?) of my a-maz-ing new camera that I finally had the opportunity to use, or the adorable little lips and angelic face of Abby.

What do you think? Admit it…you love it, too!

Parker’s Sit ‘n’ Smile Session

January 26, 2010

One of the many joys of my work is seeing the children that I work with grow from tiny, helpless newborns into a little person with their own look, personality and smile! Yesterday, I went to Parker’s house to do the 2nd installment of his Little Gifts Newborn Club for the Sit ‘n’ Smile session. This precious little boy was b-u-s-y! His sweet momma and I had to work fast and think on our feet; but, it was so worth it. We came out of it with some gorgeous images. One of the things that I love about going into a client’s home and doing a photo session is the opportunity to incorporate special items that wouldn’t be available elsewhere. In Parker’s session, the rocking chair was his mom’s when she was little! Enjoy the cuteness of Parker!

Pink & Perfect

January 22, 2010

It is always such an honor to be asked to photograph a newborn. The emotions run so high and the feeling of love (and exhaustion!) are almost tangible. I love everything about those sessions and secretly they just might be my favorite. I get to love on those precious little gifts from God and am reminded of the joy of parenthood.

Little Miss Fynlee was the perfect newborn. She could give lessons on “How to Behave at your Newborn Session.” She was born on December 21st-what a Christmas present! I usually like to photograph newborns within the first week of their birth; but, since Miss Fynlee arrived right at the holiday, I had to wait until the first week of January. I’ve worked with this wonderful family before and photographed big brother’s newborn session a couple of years ago. I was so honored to be asked to document their newest addition. Take a look and I think you will agree. Pink is perfect!
