The Blog

I was honored to be at the birth of this beautiful baby boy and at the end of this post, you can see the slideshow of his amazing journey into the world.  Then, at 9 days old, he came to visit and snuggle with me! Click below to view Donovan’s Birth Story (you’ll want to […]

Since I’m playing catchup, I am going to share a couple of newborns from the past few weeks in this post.  Enjoy the sweetness! Meet Mia: Meet Charlee:

Newborn photographers know that when a mommy gets too close to her baby during the photo session, he often smells her (and she smells like MILK to him!) and then he roots and wakes and our sweet photo session turns into a tug-of-war with the tummy!  So, when my friend, Trisha, a talented photographer, texted […]

These guys were so tiny, but so sweet!  They were just over 4lbs when they came to my studio *gasp*!   One of my favorite pictures came right at the beginning of our session. The caption could read, “Just hanging out….with my brother!”  I think these two are going to love ‘hanging out’ together for […]

This little 5lb ball of sweetness was a bit older than my usual newborn, and tinier too!  I always marvel at the littlest newborns who visit my home studio since my own son was 9lb 10oz at birth.  These teeny tiny little ones are so much fun for me to play with!   Enjoy your […]

Although she made me work for it, some of my all-time favorite newborn photos are in this little (well, if a 9lb 14oz baby can be called ‘little’) newborn’s gallery!  She definitely wasn’t the soundest sleeper I’ve ever photographed, but the hard work paid off in these shots!  What dreamy cheeks she has!!

A sweet little sleeper visited me early this week – and I had so much fun playing with her!  Enjoy the peek at Laura Grace! I just love this knitted princess crown! And, if you follow my blog you know that I have a thing with baby toes!

Technically, you’ve met her before…her birth story was featured on the blog recently!  But here is her first official portrait session.  She was over nine pounds at birth and I just loved cuddling all those rolls. Her mommy brought this Minnie Mouse hat and diaper cover along and it was so adorable! She started smiling […]

Sweet Allison was a FAB sleeper for me!  I just love when I start to take a newborn’s legs out of her clothes and then just curl right back up as if they are still all curled up in the womb!  That is my first clue that a baby is ‘fresh’ and ready to be […]

This blog post is very special to me.  The best part of being a photographer is the connection that I get to make with families.  And this family will always be precious to me – they were one of the first to allow me into the delivery room to capture the first moments of their […]
