It’s been a pleasure watching this pumpkin grow! Palmer’s family purchased the First Year Special package, so I had the opportunity to photograph her at her newborn, baby, and one-year-old stages! As a newborn, she was photographed with her family in her home, her baby session was done outdoors at a park since it was early summer, and now at one, her family opted for a more staged look, complete with a cake! I love providing this service to my clients. Not only does it give them a deal with three sessions for the price of two, but I really get to know them and their baby!
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!
Palmer - Baby Session
Sweet Palmer was a perfect angel for her baby milestone session, which was done around the 9 month mark. Her family decided to wait until the weather was nice so the session could be done outdoors, and we were so glad because it was a perfect day! Comfortable temps, low wind, and a partly sunny sky. Big sister Kinsley got to jump in a few shots, as well.
Mabel - Baby Session
Mabel was the perfect subject for her session marking her 9 months. She smiled, giggled, and lit up my lens with her gorgeous blue eyes. I had so much fun with her that afternoon in the park. Thank you for your sweetness, Miss Mabel!
Eleanor Joelle - Newborn Session
I always love to revisit past clients when they have their next baby. Not only do I get to see the new addition, but I also get to see how the big sister or brother has grown. I first met the W Family when I photographed their oldest daughter Veronica two years ago. I was delighted to be invited back to capture their new sweet girl, Eleanor Joelle. “Ellie,” as they will be calling her, was a dream baby, who cooperated for her session. Also a cooperative subject, was big “brother” Bash. When I photographed Veronica, Bash accidentally photobombed a sweet picture where I was peering over Mommy and Daddy’s shoulders to get a shot of the baby. It turned out to be one of my favorite newborn pictures ever, so we just had to recreate it for Ellie. Bash was happy to oblige us, and sat perfectly for the shot.
Sage Elizabeth - Newborn Session
When I found out I’d be photographing a little angel named Sage, I just knew I had to do some earthy tones. Sage was styled in a sage green wrap, with greenery strewn in the background, then transitioned over to a few other looks to reflect her dad’s hobbies of hunting and fishing, and oh deer, was she adorable!
Palmer Avery - Newborn Session
Sweet Baby Palmer melted my heart with her smiles, as did big sister Kinsley. She was a natural with her new baby sissy. This session had all the dreamy pastels and tender moments. I can’t wait to watch Palmer grow this year as I document her milestones.
Mabel Irene - Newborn Session
I first met this sweet family just a month ago for their maternity family session. They didn’t know what they were having, but they did know that the baby was to come any day. I waited to hear news, expecting it within the next week or two, but instead I didn’t hear from them for a little while. As it turns out, little Miss Mabel was overdue, which is often uncommon when the child is not the first in the family. She came when she was good and ready, and I was relieved to hear that she came into the world safe and healthy.
Her name is one you don’t hear often. It’s a nod to relatives on both sides of the family, and perfectly vintage. I love the old-fashioned names that are coming back in style! Little Mabel is so loved by her parents and big brother Sam. I can’t wait to see her again in six short months!
