It never gets old.  Photographing babies.

How could it when I have sweet little babes like Maizy come into the studio & just put on a show for the camera.

She was SO fabulous during her outfit changes.

Maizy’s mommy & daddy won one of my Facebook give aways & the session has been in the works for awhile now.

{so, if you aren’t a fan/like the page, you should do so because I tend to do a lot of give aways!}

We decided to schedule their session once Maizy was sitting up & I’m glad we waiting because she just rocked her session out.

Thanks guys for the wonderful ideas, props, bows, headbands etc.

Enjoy the sneak peek!

Every newborn that comes into the studio has their own little personality.

This little guy : Max, he had a mind of his own.  He loved to be held by his momma & cuddled in nice & tight.

We worked it out though & he cooperated with us, thank-you Mr. Max.

In case you missed it, here was momma’s maternity session

Max brought in his mommy, daddy & two older sisters : Jasmine & Tia.  They were so incredible with him & it was absolutely adorable to watch them together.

You have quite the helpers on your hands mom & dad.

Enjoy the sneak peek!

Kim & Kevin are expecting a little boy in a few short weeks & recently came into the studio for a maternity session.

I met Kim over 3  years ago.  She was the attending nurse for a birth I photographed at St. Mary’s.  I photographed her & Kevin’s daughters Jasmine & Tia, & was so excited to hear they were expecting baby #3 & it was a sweet little boy!

So excited to meet him @ his newborn session & enjoy your sneak peak!

I know this shot has been done a million & one times, but I still get many couples who request it.  For some reason it really worked for me this time.  I love how this shot fell together for them!

So notice the band on Kevin’s hand.  On the flip side it says “It’s a boy” & he wears it every day, how CUTE is that?

Here is one of the big sisters :: Jasmine

Big Sister.

Pink. Tiny. Newborns = Awesomeness.

Brian & Emily chose NOT to find out what they were having {which I give those folks a lot of credit} & I was so excited to get her text when little baby girl Ashlynn came into this world on July 9th.  They were into the studio 7 days later & Ashlynn was just perfect.  I love photographing newborns, smelling their sweet new baby smell, their soft little squishy skin & seeing the amazing love on their parents’ face when they hold them.

Especially first time parents like B & E.  I’ve known them both for almost 10 years & photographed their wedding 3 years ago this September {how time flies}.

Just for fun here is an image from their engagement session 4 years ago & wedding 3 years ago

Congrats on your perfect little girl, I look forward to watching her grow up!

Enjoy your Sneak Peaks!

Nothing, & I mean nothing is much sweeter than watching two big brothers & their sweet little sister.  That was the case for this threesome.  Weston & Will were so amazing with their little sister Charlotte & I can’t wait to see how cute & protective they are as she grows up & gets older.  When I last photographed the Leeder family, they were a family of 4, and Charlotte makes 5 & I’m so happy for you guys & your new {pink} addition!

This is what you get when you ask the daddy to “help out” during a session & hold fabric….

Enjoy the sneak peak, Molly & Mike

I absolutely LOVE photographing first birthdays.  It is such a milestone for that little person & mommy & daddy.
I especially love photographing first birthdays when I’ve had the opportunity to photograph their newborn sessions, it is always a blast to see the changes from day 1 to day 365+.  Mommy & Daddy {a.k.a Sarah & Matt} have been clients for sometime now, I photographed their wedding & enjoy seeing them every time they are back in town.     We had a great session & combined both outdoor & indoor locations.  Sterling was a bit under the weather but he managed to be a trooper.

Meet Sterling & his friend “Sherman”

We used this same cowboy hat during his newborn session last July only his whole body fit in there

Sterling was not thee biggest fan of the cake, {Sarah you did a great job, the cake looked wonderful} but he entertained us nonetheless.

Enjoy your sneak peak

Could he BE ANY cuter?  {In my best Chandler Bing voice…}

Yikes, this kid is A-dorable.  I had so so much fun photographing him & a big THANK-you to momma for some super fabulous props that she purchased from several different Etsy stores.  Etsy will get you in trouble, for sure.  Some pretty darn cute things…

I photographed Grayson when he was just a few days old back in January & it was a pleasure to see him again, only this time with big huge chubby cheeks, beautiful bright eyes & a smile that is just too much.

I. Love. My. Job. & am so thankful for such amazing clients!

Enjoy the Sneak Peak!

Jamison was 5 days old when his Aunt brought him in for his newborn session.  She was doing this as a surprise to her sister.  What a sweet sweet Auntie Mr. J has.  She was so adorable with him & you could tell she had so much love for her new little nephew.  Thanks for bringing him in Kellie & I hope you & your family enjoy the Sneak Peaks.
