Lucy - Newborn Session

It was such a pleasure to meet adorable Lucy and her sweet parents. They came to the studio for a custom newborn session to capture this special time in their lives. We started out with some basket poses with Miss Lucy featuring pearls and lace. I love the dusty rose color, as well. It’s giving classic, vintage beauty, which nicely complimented the warm tones of the props.

We then moved on to family pictures. It was Lucy’s mama’s idea to contrast with the light blue and pink, and I think it looks great! Makes Baby Girl pop as she’s being snuggled by her parents. I was so excited to catch a little smile, too!

We ended our session with a Spring-y basket look, and a sweet tulle diaper cover that Lucy’s mama brought along. She looked like a tiny dancer in her daddy’s arms. Welcome to the world, Lucy!

Esra - Newborn Session

Precious Esra joins big sister Nelle and fur sister Maisie, keeping the femininity strong in their household! For Esra’s session, we first wrapped her in blue to match her nursery. Mommy & Daddy didn’t know if they were having a boy or another girl, so they went with the gender-neutral theme of stars and moons. They were also inspired by the beautiful Psalm 147:4 “He determines the number of stars and calls them each by name.”

I absolutely love the oversized cable-knit sweater trend that is happening for newborns right now. Esra looked so snuggly matching with Big Sis.

We ended the session by recreating a favorite purple look from her Big Sister’s session two and a half years ago. The girls looked nearly identical at birth, so we had to get some of the same shots for Mommy to compare and treasure.

I can’t wait to see Esra again in several months for her mid-year session! Welcome to our planet, sweet little star!

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 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.

Taytum Elizabeth - Newborn Session

Sweet Taytum’s session was before the holidays, but in the hustle and bustle that ensued, I never got a chance to give her a proper post on the blog. Here she is! Such a sweet little nugget. I photographed her twin siblings a few years ago, and she is practically identical to them. So beautiful!

Elliotte Grace - Newborn Session

This darling angel Elliotte Grace surprised her family a few weeks earlier than expected, but is doing so well. She slept soundly for most of her session, and wasn’t bothered by a thing. Along with her styled shots, we also got an amazing first family photo with “big brother” Winston included! It was a pleasure capturing your precious face, Ellie!
