Welcome, Benjamin!

April 20, 2012

Oh, the joy of a new little boy! Meet sweet little Benjamin, precious son of Sadhana and Joseph! I fell in love with this precious little family and their first born child! They have the biggest hearts and a warmth that just pulls you in. Their joy and love for their new little gift was just infectious. So privileged and honored to do what I do every day. So very happy for you, my new friends, on this precious gift you have been given. Thank you for sharing him with me. Enjoy your sneak peek! ๐Ÿ™‚

Welcome, Finley Jane!

March 22, 2012

Oh, sweet baby girls! I have had an abundance of newborns lately and lovin’ every session! I couldn’t wait to meet Miss Finley as I’ve been “watching her grow” inside her Mommy’s belly each week at church. Little Finley is the youngest of four children and is already so very cherished and loved by her family. She was simply PERFECT at her photo session earlier this week….I couldn’t have asked it to be any better! Congratulations, sweet “L” family!! I am so happy for you all! Enjoy your sneak peek! ๐Ÿ™‚

This first one is of Finley lying across a chest in her room that was built by her Great-Grandfather on her Mother’s side. I adore utilizing items in a client’s home that are special to them. Makes it so much more personal and unique that way!

ย Finley is named after her Great-Grandfather on her Father’s side. The photo below shows Finley with her namesake looking over her. So precious!

Welcome, Cooper!

March 6, 2012

Oh, what sweetness!!! Cooper is our newest member of Little Gifts Newborn Club so we will be seeing a lot of his adorable little face over the next year! Aren’t we lucky? ๐Ÿ™‚ Little Cooper was almost 10 pounds at birth, so his little baby cuteness factor is just off the charts with his chubby little cheeks, arms, and legs. I just love it! He was such a good boy for his session yesterday. Take a little look at Cooper. Congratulations, “H” family! I am so happy for you guys! ๐Ÿ™‚

Welcome, Tanner!

February 9, 2012

Oh, precious baby boy!! Welcome to little Tanner! Remember this beautiful couple?ย Well, if you thought they were gorgeous, you need to take a look at this beautiful little boy, Tanner Warren! At only 5 -days-“new” Tanner was such a little champ for his portrait session yesterday. I just love his big eyes, grumpy little ol’ man face, and sweet newborn grins. Ahhh, perfection! Tanner’s Daddy is in the Air Force and we incorporated some photos just for that purpose. Love the one where his Dad’s hat is lying across him while he holds Dad’s dog tags. Someday very soon they’ll be saying how they cannot believe how tiny he once was that the hat fit across his entire body! Shelby and Chris, I am so very happy for you and congratulations on your precious gift from God! ๐Ÿ™‚

Happy little grin! ๐Ÿ™‚

Welcome, Daniel!

February 7, 2012

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! ๐Ÿ™‚

Welcome, Lilly and Joseph!

January 30, 2012

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! ๐Ÿ™‚

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! ๐Ÿ™‚

Lovely Miss little Lilly…

The new brother and sister…

And, baby boy Joseph!

Welcome, Mary Frances!

January 24, 2012

Oh, precious little baby girls! This was such a fun photo session. Mary Frances is the first grandchild on both sides of her family….lucky little girl! ๐Ÿ™‚ She had quite the audience to watch her session yesterday: her Mommy, her Daddy, two Grandmothers and one aunt! I loved it! We all had such a good time together enjoying this sweet little baby girl. I can’t help but to get excited and share in the joy when it is literally tangible in the home. Before she was born, no one knew if Mary Frances was going to be a boy or a girl, so I was really impressed with the amount of “girly” things that they accumulated within four days! I can only imagine how this stack will grow as she does. Claudia and William, your daughter is just beautiful. I am so very happy for you both and for your families! What a tremendous blessing….congratulations!

 

Welcome, Ingrid Mae!

January 20, 2012

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! ๐Ÿ™‚ 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! ๐Ÿ™‚ 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! ๐Ÿ™‚

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

Welcome, Maryn!

January 17, 2012

Oh my! Newborn goodness! Meet Miss Maryn! Precious and teeny and such a good little model! She could not have been any better for her session. She was only about 5-days-old at her session and I know that her parents are going to cherish her “newness” in the photographs in the years to come. There’s only so long that they are so new and fresh and tiny. Maryn is beautiful! I was honored to be asked to capture her for you, Paul and Angie! I know you are so very proud of your beautiful daughter. Congratulations and enjoy every second with your new little girl! ๐Ÿ™‚

Welcome, Summit!

January 17, 2012

One of the many joys of my work is to use my camera to capture the children of my sweet friends! This gorgeous little boy is the newborn son of our friends, Autumn and Robert, whom we have grown to love over the last few years! These two are absolutely ENTHRALLED with their new little boy, and it just makes my heart explode with happiness to see them so happy! We were able to photograph little Summit at his Aunt’s home the other day, and he was the perfect little boy. I was so proud! Autumn and Rob, you two are going to be the best parents and little Summit has been blessed by God to have you two as his very own. Congratulations and I hope you love your little sneak peek! Summit, love ya, little buddy! ๐Ÿ™‚

This next one may very well be my new favorite newborn shot in quite awhile! A precious grin from Summit and spontaneous smile of love from Mom! LOVE!!!
