Welcome, Wills!

November 21, 2013

Sweet baby Wills has made his grand entrance into the world! Son of Claudia and William and little brother of my sweet little friend, Mary Frances who has graced my camera lens many times herself, little Wills was a champ at his session. He was such a good boy and let us play with him as much as we wanted. A photographer’s little dream! I always love working with this family and couldn’t be happier for them as their family grows. Congratulations to you all! I just love your newest addition. He is one lucky little guy to have you all as his family! 🙂

Welcome, Taylor!

November 6, 2013

Look at this happy girl! She is smiling because she knows how blessed and beautiful she is! This is the new “surprise” baby girl of my great friends. Sometimes, God’s plans are different than our own-and isn’t it AWESOME when God gives us surprises like this. Taylor was a perfect angel baby for her newborn session. Still can’t believe she is here! I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to watch this baby grow from the very beginning and also to capture some of her first days at home. Congratulations to all of you-Jason, Jen, Morgan, Blake, Alexa and Taylor! God has richly blessed your family! BrownleeNB08CR My beautiful friend! Love you! This melts my heart! Such a beautiful family, Jen & Jason! 

Welcome, Brooklyn!

October 29, 2013

Now, this is fun!! This precious family was a family of 5-Mom, Dad, and 3 boys. Until about two weeks ago, when beautiful Brooklyn Dawn arrived to be a part of this lovely bunch! I can only imagine the fun in store for Miss Brooklyn as she grows up with three big brothers as her friends and protectors. That’s pretty amazing, and she is one blessed little girl. I know her Momma is definitely going to LOVE dressing up her little girl. I am so happy for you guys. Thank you for sharing Brooklyn with me. She is beautiful and such a perfect gift from God! Congratulations!

When I walked in to this session, this is what I saw: big sis,Campbell, and big brother, Houston were carefully watching over their newest family members. So happy to welcome twins, Henry and Murphy Kate, into the world! I was so excited to have the opportunity to photograph twins-doesn’t happen very often. And, what fun that it is the newest little ones of a family that I’ve been photographing since Big Brother Houston’s newborn session over 5 years ago. What a blessing to be trusted once again with this family’s most precious memories. The twins were soooo great for their session. I was prepared for it to be chaotic and crying all day long. But, it wasn’t! This momma is a PRO, and these sweet angels slept their entire session-it was so amazing! Can’t wait to watch them grow and learn to love them as the years pass by. I did get lots of good snuggle time, so the love affair has started. Welcome, Henry and Murphy Kate! God picked one of the best families for you to be a part of! 🙂 Told you….these two are in love with their new brother and sister! So sweet! 

Welcome, Sawyer!

October 21, 2013

It was legacy week last week for 1:17 Photography! Little Miss Sawyer was Baby 2 of 4 newborns photographed last week who also had a big brother or sister, or more!, that had been photographed by me for their newborn sessions. Sawyer’s beautiful big sister, Gray, was wide awake for almost her entire newborn session about 3 years ago. And, in family tradition, little sister Sawyer Ross also had her little eyes wide open for the majority of her session last week, too! So funny. But, you know, I’m thankful-because look at her beautiful, big eyes! You’ve got to love that! I am so touched and honored to photograph these girls and be continually welcomed into the homes of my customers. Thank you, Ross and Kimmy, for sharing your family with me. Sawyer, you’ve got an awesome family that really loves you so very much! Welcome, sweet angel! 🙂

Big Sister-SO proud and has the best smiles! 

Welcome, Hobbs!

October 21, 2013

SOO happy for this amazing family! My friends, Sarah and Craig have themselves a precious new baby boy! Little Hobbs is finally here! Sarah and I have been talking about this session for what seems like “forever”, and finally, the day arrived! He is absolutely perfect and was such a good baby for his big day. He had some pretty big shoes to fill because big brother Hutton has had some pretty awesome sessions with me throughout his little life, and his newborn session is still one of my favorites. Anyone remember “the mailbox” photo? Sarah’s generous and kind friends let us borrow their amazing home for this session and everything about it was practically perfect. I couldn’t be happier about Hobbs arrival and cannot wait to photograph him throughout his first year. Welcome, sweet boy! God has richly blessed you with an amazing family! Congratulations Sarah, Craig and Hutton! Love you guys! HobbsHowardNB02CRsoftbrownbw

Welcome, Cohen!

September 26, 2013

Absolute perfection, that’s how this session has to be defined! A precious family with the miracle of their new addition, Mr.Cohen! There’s not a whole lot of “firsts” that happen for me anymore in my sessions after doing this for so many years; however, yesterday’s newborn session was a “first” in that the entire session was shot outdoors in my backyard! Loved that Cohen’s Mom and Dad were open to doing shots outdoors. I think it makes this session so beautiful and very unique. I tell parents all the time that the happiest my newborns usually are is if we can get them outdoors. For obvious weather reasons, this cannot happen at every session; but, I’d encourage those of you that have babies during the nice weather to consider do many shots outdoors. The babies truly  love it! Cohen was so happy the entire afternoon and barely made a sound-quite impressive since he is already 2 weeks old and getting past the “sleepy” stage a bit. I am sooo thrilled for this beautiful family. What a beautiful gift God has given you in Cohen. Thank you for sharing these special moments with me and allowing me to capture your joy! 🙂  Can I just say how much I love these brother shots? Big brother Cole was amazing with all of his shots-so many precious ones and too many to showcase here. He is just darling and I could eat him up! I know he is thrilled to have a little brother…esp when the ultrasound said he was getting a baby sister!! Whoops! HA. Love it! 🙂 

Welcome, Hallie!

September 14, 2013

There’s been a rush of beautiful little sweethearts born lately, and Miss Hallie Claire is the newest little darling to join the world! Hallie was such a good girl for her session. She adored being outside and slept so peacefully. She is sooo pretty and so very tiny, just weighing in at 5lb 14oz the day before our session. So petite and precious, and I loved her!! 🙂 I’ve been working with this family since big brother was a little baby himself, so it was fun to see Mr.Brecon become a big brother. The pictures of Hallie and Brecon together are now quite possibly my new favorites for sibling shots. And, there’s several more that I didn’t include in this post that are so cute. Fun times! Congratulations to the wonderful “H” family. I am so happy for you guys! Congratulations! HHesterNB05CR

Welcome, Brooks!

September 1, 2013

Look at this precious angel! What a beautiful little boy Mr.Brooks is! 🙂 Sometimes, a sweet baby just doesn’t want to sleep very much at his session. He just wants to see what is going on in the world! Brooks was determined not to sleep for his session-no matter what tricks we all tried to play on him! But, it was no problem at all. We still managed to capture his sweetness. Just look at the joy his Mom and Dad have as they look at him. Their smiles say it all!! I’ve been doing this for many years now, and it still “gets” me as I got all misty-eyed watching this sweet family adore their little boy. Congratulations, Blair and Daniel! Brooks is just precious, and I know you are so in love. Who wouldn’t be? Just look at that face! 😉 

Welcome, Avery!

August 27, 2013

Beautiful Avery is here! This sweet baby girl was one of the most well-behaved little newborns I have had in quite some time. She never made a peep throughout the entire session, and slept “like a baby”! 🙂 So happy for this family and their gorgeous addition. Congratulations, Rebecca and Brian…she is perfect!! 🙂Â
