Sweet little Lennon joined her family just in time for the holidays. She was such a precious doll for her session with her mommy, daddy, and fur-brothers (one of which is named Moose). It was a joy capturing her beauty, and the pride in her parents’ eyes as they stared lovingly at their early Christmas gift.
Aydan Benjamin - Newborn Session
Aydan came to see me at about seven weeks new. He was an absolute dream to photograph with his adorable face and long lashes! I loved that his family brought along some personal items for a few shots - including very special “Champ” boxing shorts to pay homage to his mommy’s late step-father who was called Champ. I absolutely love the tiny boxing gloves too! Mama Said Knock You Out! Daddy Said Knock You Out!
Ryan - Newborn Session
It was a pleasure meeting Baby Ryan and his family for his at-home session. It’s clear that the whole family is in love with their newest member, and I think the feeling is mutual seeing how Ryan lovingly stared at his family - especially Mama! By the end of our session, he was sleepy and settled, so we were able to do a “froggy” pose to match the framed newborn photo of big sis Mary.
Welcome to the world, Ryan!
Aiden Andrew - Newborn Session
Aiden was perfect for his at-home newborn session. I loved the beautiful neutral palette of his family home as a backdrop. After snuggling with Mommy and Daddy for some candid lifestyle shots, Aiden got snug as a bug for his styled portraits. He gave me several smiles as he drifted off to dreamland.
Olivia Poppy - Newborn Session
It was my pleasure to capture this sweet, new little family of three. From the moment I stepped into their home, it was clear that Baby Olivia is her parent’s pride and joy! Both of them were positively beaming with happiness. For her at-home session, her parents chose to do a mix of family and baby. I especially loved the black & white close-ups of her tiny tootsies.
Welcome to the world, precious angel!
Aiden Michael - Newborn Session
Baby Aiden is the missing piece to his family. He slept sweetly for his in-home session, which featured a mix of styled and posed images, and some with his two big sisters. He is such a blessed little guy to have two little bonus mommies to love and care for him - (three if you count “fur sissy” Ruth, who I can tell is equally as proud). I could not get enough of this little man and his smiles - complete with a dimple!
Nico Lee - Newborn Session
It was so fun to capture Nico and his sweet parents in his beautiful nursery. His parents did not know if they were having a boy or a girl, so they opted for a gorgeous green and neutral room, that they could easily enhance with little touches for their little one. The only gender-specific thing they purchased ahead of time was a Little Dude shirt (a nod to mama’s maiden name), and their intuition was correct! Their little boy arrived on April 3rd.
Nico was active, but pleasant, throughout his session. Giving me so many smiles, direct eye contact, and hand movements. And his handsome head of hair was so very precious. I can’t wait to work with him again throughout his first year!
Emma Grace - Newborn Session
The beautiful Emma Grace (and her gorgeous head of hair) came a few weeks earlier than expected - due to be an Easter peep, but arriving as a lucky charm the day before St. Patrick’s Day. She slept peacefully all through her session, and even pursed her lips and smiled a few times. She was a dream to photograph, and I can’t wait to watch her grow over the next year!
Sadie Elizabeth - Newborn Session
With springtime comes new life, and the arrival of beautiful Sadie Beth. She has completed the P family! What a lucky girl to be surrounded by such love, including two big brothers who were so noticeably proud of their family’s new addition.
Welcome to the world, Sadie!
Daphne Anne - Newborn Session
The fourth love of their lives was delivered on Valentine’s Day - beautiful, sweet Daphne.
She makes Baby #4 in five years for this loving family, and rounds out their collection of cuties perfectly. Every time I have the pleasure of photographing the C family, I can sense the love that emanates from them. The two oldest big sissies are like miniature mothers, caring for the babies, and their parents are kind, patient, and selfless. It is no wonder God sent them this adorable, perfect valentine.
Kane Cooper - Newborn Session
You, Me, and The Boys…
That’s the sign that hangs in the B Family’s home.
When they were expecting Baby #4, they decided to let the gender be a surprise. Although they’d be just as happy with a baby girl, Mama felt just a tinge of sadness thinking that the sign might come down. Sure enough, they got their 4th sweet baby boy to complete their family. Thus, the sign at the center of their home will stay, as if it were always meant to be.
I also loved Baby Kane’s onesies in memory of the special angels that watch over him from heaven.
Avery Jean - Newborn Session
Baby Avery is my first newborn session of 2024! She was born on the second day of winter, so I had already planned some feminine wintery vibes for her session. During the session, I learned her parents are actually big skiers, and wanted to incorporate that into her photos, so that happily worked out! We even got a shot of her with momma’s ski gear, which will be added to their wall of ski photographs in their game room! I love it when clients have a clear vision of what they’d like out of a session, but if you find yourself without ideas, I’m happy to brainstorm and come up with something to perfectly represent your family.
Evelyn Isabel - Newborn Session
I love returning to my clients homes when they welcome more children. I first met the M Family when they became parents two years ago, now they have two precious daughters with the addition of sweet Evelyn. I instantly fell in love with her adorable hair and perfect, little face. Big sissy Hadley wasn’t feeling pictures at first, but soon warmed up and frequently nuzzled her baby doll of a sister throughout her session. These two are going to share such an incredible bond.
Welcome to the world, sweet Evelyn!
Natalia Joan - Newborn Session
I love putting elements of nature into my styled sessions, and when the baby is born during Spring, there are so many gorgeous stems to choose from! Natalia’s mommy requested purple, so a few fresh lilacs did the trick. Purple also happens to be the favorite color of Big Sis. After this sweetheart got into a deep sleep, we switched her over to some coral with a contrasting bow to get a different look.
Welcome to the world, darling Natalia!
Nixon Thomas - Newborn Session
Baby Nixon was the perfect bundle of joy to start off my year of newborns! Weighing in at nearly 10 lbs, and sporting such a perfect head of hair, he was an absolute sweetheart. After a few family shots, Nixon got cozy and warm, and slept for the remainder of his session like an angel. It was my pleasure to capture another sweet baby boy for the K Family!
Sawyer Jay - Newborn Session
After two months in the NICU, sweet baby Sawyer is home where he belongs. There is no doubt he’ll be receiving a lot of loving from his family, including his two proud big sisters! For his session, we started in the family room, and then moved to his nursery, which features a gorgeous accent wall built by his daddy. The love in this family is positively overflowing, and I am so happy for them that they are now complete!
Nelle Violette - Newborn Session
What a pleasure to meet sweet Nelle after photographing her parents for their maternity session in May. They did not know what they were having, so the anticipation of Nelle’s arrival had an extra surprise in store. For their sweet baby girls session, we started with lifestyle shots in the nursery, and then moved on to a few posed. Nelle gave a mix of awake and sleepy looks for her newborn images. Both are equally lovely on her! I love her traditional name, with Nelle being inspired by her mamas great-grandmother Nellie. Also, the middle name Violette seemed so appropriate with our maternity session taking on an unexpected purple theme with the many wildflowers that were blooming that day. Because of this, Antique Purple seemed to be the obvious choice for her wraps. I can’t wait to continue to watch Baby Nelle bloom as she grows!
Leonardo Nicholas - Newborn Session
My sweet, new nephew Leo joined us earth side on November 29th. He was quite alert for his session, but did give us a few sleepy moments, and even a smile. He is so loved, and I’m thrilled to be his aunt and personal photographer. Welcome to the world, Leo!
Ellie Jane - Newborn Session
Ellie Jane was just like her sister for her newborn session; an absolute angel! She never fussed, and simply smiled and slept at 10 days new. Like her sister, who I photographed almost exactly two years ago, Ellie has a middle name that honors her Great-Grandmother on her dad’s side of the family, Jane. Her big sis has Jean as a middle name to honor her maternal Great-Grandmother. I love hearing the story behind name choices!
Finnegan Reid - Newborn Session
I am so appreciative to have helped the B Family welcome all three of their babies with newborn sessions. Their third, Finnegan Reid, is adorable just like his siblings. His mommy is a librarian (hence that perfect middle name), so of course we had to incorporate a little bit of literary art with the sweet Peter Rabbit sign that was gifted to her for the nursery. I always love when families want to put a meaningful special touch in their pictures.
Welcome, Finn!
