Baby Drew

This little one was such a sweet little boy and very sleepy for 13 days old the day of his photoshoot!

This hat and blanket were made by his great aunt! (Hope I got that right...)






Staredown!


LOVE this smile...

A basket in his bedroom...

Just cuddling with Daddy when we were all done...in case you didn't know, photoshoots are tiring!!


Congratulations, L and A! Such a beautiful little boy!

Walker's Birth

When you think back at some of the most significant moments of your life, one of the prominent ones has got to be the birth of your children. I had a unique opportunity to capture that in photos for Dan and Alisha recently with the birth of Walker. With their permission, here is their birth story...

(I could go on and on about the experience, but I'll let the pictures tell the story this time!)

Color or Black and White?

We all have preferences! And sometimes you don't want someone else to decide for you. That's why I give you all or almost all of your photos in both color and black and white...so you can decide.

Which do you like better?



This is my new nephew, Grady, and there's lots more to come!

For Mason

To my buddy Mason,

You are a great big brother...


...to this beautiful little sister of yours.


Keep holding her hand...


...and giving her kisses...


...and she will keep looking up to you...


...because she knows you're pretty special.

Happy Mother's Day...

especially to my mom, mother-in-law, and grandmas...

and all the beautiful mothers I get to photograph!



And here's a little slideshow from my most recent newborn with lots of pictures of his mommy!

Colin

Back to baby Colin! Colin's mommy received a gift certificate his session as a shower gift from her co-workers...such a great idea for a present!

This little guy was 2 1/2 weeks old, so a little older than I typically like to shoot newborns. But it worked out great because we were able to get some wide awake shots along with the more typical sleeping newborn shots.

So alert!


I love baby feet...



Colin's daddy was not too sure about having his picture taken...warning to future clients: I want to take your picture with your baby! And look...aren't you glad you did?! :)


Love the pattern of his hair...is this going to be curly hair or cowlicks?


I had the idea for this photo as I was rocking my own little baby to sleep and could see our silhouettes reflected in a picture frame...now I just need someone to take one for me!





One of Colin's canine siblings watches...




Last one of the day...Sadie hopped on the bean bag chair because she thought it was her turn! :)

Colin's sneak peek...

I met up with this little sweet boy and his parents this afternoon. Here's just a couple for now!

Baby Zachary

After two reschedules (first Zach had jaundice and then my baby was sick), we finally got Zachary's newborn shoot done on Saturday. And after eating, oh three times or so, we finally got Zachary to pose the way we wanted him to ;)

Let's start out with some family and sibling shots. Remember this picture from last September?!



This was taken back when Avery knew she was going to be a big sister, but wasn't quite ready to consider the possibility of a brother ever entering her room. Judging from these next photos, I think she might have changed her mind once she met little Zach!




And here's some of the family...






I love incorporating items that are special to clients into the sessions. Here are some pictures of Zachary in the baby doll bed that Tessa and her sisters played with as children and in a basket from the locker room of their childhood swimming pool!






Always love the feet pictures!




Touchdown! (His dad was a football player...must be teaching him early!)




And two of my favorites...
I LOVE his dimple here and I think he looks just like his sister!




Congratulations, Tessa, Ted, and Avery!
