Every sweet newborn that I am privileged to photograph, is such a gift from God. Every one is a true miracle. This sweet boy gets an extra boost in the miracle department and a standing ovation for being a tough little fighter! Meet little Barrett, only a little over 4 pounds, delivered at 33 weeks due to some complications, and 100% a little miracle. At 7 weeks premature, and weighing less than half of what many of my newborns weigh at sessions, I was in awe of how awesome he is doing! Much credit has to go the wonderful staff at the hospital and mostly to his awesome Momma and Daddy and big brother, Bryant, for getting this little man up and fighting! What a joy for me to snuggle and feed him yesterday…learned there is a special way to feed a preemie baby…I had no idea! 🙂 Thank you, God, for the gift and miracle that is this beautiful baby boy. You will see in the 2nd photo below a Bible verse that Heather had painted for his nursery, long before she had any idea that his arrival would be so much earlier than expected. God knows every day of our lives and has it planned out. HE knew how much this verse would come to mean to this family regarding little Barrett. ” For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11″ Amen!

GO TIGERS GO!!! As a huge Tigers fan, y’all know I was pretty excited about this University of Memphis themed newborn session. Sweet little Cannon was about 14 days old at his shoot, so a bit older than my normal newborn sessions. But, it made for some fun open-eyed shots of this little red headed soon-to-be Tiger fan. Cannon’s Daddy is on staff at the U of M Athletic Dept so his awesome Mom planned a session with lots of Tiger gear. Loved it, and loved this family! Congratulations, Cannon is just perfect! 🙂

Another sweet family has added another little boy in blue to their crew! A big welcome to sweet little Graham! This is my first time working with this family, and it was such a joy to get to be in their home to experience and capture their happiness at the new addition of little brother and son, Graham. Big brother, Bennett, did a great job snuggling and getting in on the action, too! We were all very proud of his hard work. 🙂 You can see from the smiles and laughter that this is a family full of joy! Little Graham was a trooper, too, considering that he was awake throughout the majority of the session. Poor lil guy was soooo tired, but just wouldn’t give it up unless he was tightly snuggled up with his Momma. You’ve got to love a little boy that loves his Momma, right? Congratulations to you guys. So very happy for you! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Oh, sweet joy of a new baby boy!! I just love this family SOOO much. And, JenaBeth and Eric…can I just say that you make some beeee-u-ti-ful little boys? Wow! I’m so happy for this wonderful family which is now a family of four. What an honor to be asked back into their home to photograph their 2nd little man…not quite two years after I photographed little Fisher. And, speaking of Fisher, he was just MARVELOUS at the session. Did such a great job for such a little dude. And, the camera just loves him, too! Little Sullivan was wide awake for the majority of our session, but that didn’t stop him from rocking his newborn shoot. Love those wide-eyed newborn pics. There’s many sneak peeks because I couldn’t pick just a few to blog. Whoops! Congratulations to you, “N” family! God has richly blessed your family. So happy for your crew! 🙂

Loved this collage in Fisher’s room! The colors were amazing in his nursery!

Beautiful Mays has made her arrival! What a precious baby girl, who has been blessed with two fantastic and fun parents. I just know these three are going to have a family constantaly full of laughter and lots of love. Little Mays was not quite even a full four days old at her portrait session, but you’d never know it. She was alert as could be, not wanting to miss out on a moment. And, she smiled…a lot! Especially to the sound of Mommy and Daddy’s voices…so sweet. So, we didn’t end up with too many sleepy poses; however, I love the wide-eyed shots just as much. She is such a beauty. I’m looking forward to watching her grow in front of my camera over the next year. Welcome, sweet Mays! So happy for this great family! Congratulations! 🙂
