Nothing warms my heart more than getting to photograph a client from the engagement, to the bridal session, to the wedding, and then to the addition of a brand new baby and watch the family grow! When Leigh Ann reached out to me, I was thrilled to get to see them again and meet baby Mary Frances. And only one week old at that! Clients often become friends and it makes me love what I get to do even that much more! Can’t wait to watch this sweet little girl grow as I get to capture her first year of life!
Stephens Family Lifestyle Session
When Lauren contacted me about wanting to set up a lifestyle family session as soon as her second baby was born, I was over the moon as I love intimate at-home settings. It is an honor when a family lets you in to their personal lives and home to create beautiful images. The icing on the cake is when there's a 7 day old newborn involved! Baby James slept like a champ the entire time as his big sister was still getting used to figuring out how to hold him. With Dad being a Pilot in the U.S. Navy, we got creative with his helmet, which the baby fit right inside like a puzzle! To finish up the session, we went on a little walk to watch the St. Charles trolley pass by while trying to re-create one of Lauren & Adam's wedding photos with their now family of 4. Does it get much sweeter than this??! Thanks again to the Stephens' family for allowing me into a snippet of your lives to capture these timeless moments!
Baby Samantha
After getting to know Virginia + Mike during their maternity session, I couldn't wait to meet their baby girl who would soon be entering a house full of love. A mere five days old, Samantha is already an adorable little bundle of cuteness. She was happiest outside in the warm sunshine. Something about seeing, holding a brand new little human gives me all types of feelings. How tiny those hands and ears and feet are. It's remarkable, really. Her life on earth has just begun and she will grow and learn and stretch and cry and laugh just like all of us. They have loved her before they met her and that is nothing short of beautiful. Congratulations to the newest little family!
Eden || Brand New Baby
This little guy is already a heart breaker, and he has only been here just a few short weeks! Megan and Davis have been long time friends so we especially couldn't wait to meet the newest tiny addition to the family! If one thing turns out to be true, we know Eden will have some cool parents and a great taste in music. We had a big day, full of photos with all the furry and non-furry family members. By the end, Eden was ready for dinner and a nice long nap. We love him already and can't wait to watch him grow! Congratulations again to the happy & proud Mama and Dad!!
Baby || Atlas
Tiny humans are the greatest. With all of their little wiggles, squirms, and tiny noises, the awe of newborn never fails to light up a room. Is is the new life they bear that brings smiles to faces? Or is it the innocence of seeing a baby grow and discover this new world they just entered? I think it's both of those, plus a whole lot more. Here's baby Atlas, 4 months brand new, and just starting to discover all kinds of emotions.
