35 weeks

Is what this momma-to-be told me she is. However, from looking at her, it's hard to believe. "Glowing" would be the perfect adjective to describe her.

 

 

Thank you so much, Kristen! Best wishes on the new addition to your family. :) 

Have a safe and fun 4th of July, everyone!

Seven under seven

I did this session a couple of weeks ago and waited to post about it because it was a birthday gift.  There were seven kids (under seven years old) for this session. I think that's the largest group of children I have ever photographed.  The goal was to get a group shot for their grandmother's birthday.

 

And I think this one is everyone's favorite...check out little miss in the upper corner sleeping.

 

Have a great weekend everyone! I promise to get this blog going again. I have lots of sessions to share. :)

Christian ~ 5 weeks old

Newborns are quickly becoming my favorite subjects to photograph. Kelly and Chris recently welcomed little Christian and contacted me to do some family and newborn photos. When I first arrived, we headed outside to grab a few family shots.

We didn't want their other babies to feel excluded...just look how well they did.

   

Inside, their home had the most amazing light.

  

You could tell how smitten Kelly was with her little guy. She couldn't stop smiling.

 

Just at the right time, Christian decided it was time for a nap. 

 

This last one is my favorite of the entire session.   

 

Thanks Kelly and Chris for allowing me to capture your beautiful family.

 

S Family

I had a great session with this family last weekend. Super-cool parents  +  well-behaved (and handsome) kids made my job easy.  We walked around downtown Shelbyville and found some really interesting places to do photos. I have been waiting for the right family to have a session like this.  So much fun!

See what I mean? Gorgeous kids.

  

  

Per dad's request....I hope you like it, Brian.

 

Had to get some silly shots.

 

And the best for last. :)

Thanks Brian and Michelle!

Brody~ 9 months

Remember handsome little Brody? I started photographing him when he was just a newborn. Now look how much he has grown!  His mom has had me do his photos every three months and I have really enjoyed watching him change.

I swear he posed like this by himself.  (G.Q. watch out! And check out the pants. Love them!)

   

Brody was so interested in everything outside (cars, leaves, grass, etc.) that I had to act like a crazy woman to get some smiles.

 

Mom and Dad hopped in a few.

 

He did this on his own, too. Awwwww...I know how much little boys love their mommas.

 

Thank you Melinda and Jason for allowing me once again to capture your little man. It has been a pleasure.

Little Miss Maggie

This is a follow-up to the "Anticipation" post from a couple of weeks ago. Meet the little bump that  was in those photos. This is Miss Maggie at the very fresh age 13 days.

 

Isn't she sweet?

 

Her mommy has a musical background. I knew I wanted to incorporate an instrument into her newborn photos. This guitar case seemed to work perfect.

 

Have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Work in progress

I am happy to say that my new website is finally finished! I will still be posting sneak peeks and current promotions on this blog. I moved my portfolio over to the website. Check it out:

Also, stay tuned for a sneak peek of an adorable newborn.

Anticipation

Check out this beautiful momma who is about to give birth to a sweet baby girl tomorrow. I think she looks fabulous.

 

And someone is about to become a big brother.

 

Can you tell I am having fun with my new prop (parasol)?  I love the pink dress that she chose to wear.

 

And finally, this is something I have been wanting to try for a long time. I just love it.

 

Good luck M family on the birth of little Maggie. I can't wait to meet her.   

Miss Aubrie- one week old

I love it when moms book their newborn's session while their babies are so young. This momma actually called me from the hospital to schedule a session during Aubrie's first week of life. Newborns that fresh are so sleepy and bendy...although someone didn't let Miss Aubrie in on the fact that she was supposed to be "sleepy". Ahem. After much patience from everyone involved (thanks Steve and Holli), she finally gave it up. And I would dare say, it was well worth it.

 

I told you she was bendy.

 

Aubrie's big sister was a total doll.

 

I gasped when I opened this one of Aubrie and her momma. At the time, she was trying to get her to sleep.

This last one totally made me smile.

 

Thanks Holli and Steve! You were great to work with. I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek. :)

Miss Emma

You may remember this pretty girl from last fall. She is natural in front of the camera. Here's a few of my favorites from our session.

Using my new prop again! I am not a "proppy" type girl, but I do love this parasol. I may have to get several colors.

 

 

Happy Monday!
