Sneak Peek {Baby Ella}

Super sweet cuteness ahead...consider yourself warned :)

I can not say enough how absolutely ecstatic I am with the arrival of Baby Ella Kathryn!!!


In addition to being one adorable newborn, she is one lucky gal with loving parents and simply amazing grandparents.

She quickly settled in and was quite comfortable in front of the camera (I think she gets that from her beautiful momma!) Here's a couple faves to hold everyone over until the full post, enjoy!



Welcome Baby Ella Kathryn, you are such a blessing to so many!!!!

Welcome Baby Shelton

First comes love, then comes marriage...and hopefully you know the rest of the song (my 6 year old even sings it now sometimes).

And yes, The baby carriage did come along for Stacy and Luke when sweet little baby Shelton was born. Even though he came a bit ahead of schedule (4 weeks early), there was no doubt that Stacy and Luke were ready for him (even if they didn't think they were).

There is a special spark between Stacy, Luke and I that just electrifies me and makes me smile. Luke loves all the pictures and ideas that Stacy and I always come up with (wink, wink). Ever since their engagement session and wedding in 2008 we have enjoying encouraging, praying for and keeping up with each other over the years and even celebrated again with her sister Michelle's wedding last year. They have always made me feel like family (insert huge, huge ear to ear smile here)! So, to say that I was ecstatic when I received Stacy's email is such an understatement. I could not wait to meet the new sweetie!!!

My favorite part of in-home Newborn Sessions is the behind the scenes and capturing a bit of the real life of having a newborn that consists of diaper and outfit changes, baby breaks, rocking chairs and the nursery details.

If there is one thing that I love, love, LOVE about my job it's that I am completely blessed to work with wonderful couples and families like Stacy and Luke's. It is not only an honor to be there with them step by step on their wedding day but such a privilege to stay connected with them as their family grows.

Stacy, Luke (and family) I adore you and am so very thankful for God's blessing on you and your new family.

Congratulations and welcome Baby Shelton!!!!

There's some serious cuteness going on in the digital dark room this week... Oh Baby!!!

Baby Love {Aubree}

There's plenty of love to go around :)

In between little cat naps and feedings, little Miss Aubree was very alert and very interested in what was going on around her. Through it all her sweet smirks and grins kept us on our toes. There's just something about all the tiny little details of newborns that are wonderful reminders of what a fantastic blessing they really are!

Enjoy some more images from Aubree's session!

Baby Love

Time has a way of catching up with us. One day our little ones are teeny tiny babies we hold in our arms and then all of the sudden they are walking, talking, running away from us and using their favorite new word..."No!"

Cooper is a perfect reminder of how precious those brief moments are and how quickly our babies grow up.

I remember when his big brother was this small (and what a handsome little guy he is now, plus an excellent assistant by the way!)

Every newborn is like falling in love all over again, there truly are not words that could ever describe it. I absolutely love, love, LOVE all their sweet little toes, fingers and chubby cheeks!

These next couple images are very special. Mommy and Daddy both work in education, so I thought that they would love incorporating books into little Cooper's session. He was a champ and took a nice little cat nap (hummm, makes me wonder if the books had a hand in putting him to sleep- ha!)
And though it is pretty difficult to pick just one absolute favorite I think the last one captures his sweet personality, it has that smile that makes all mommy's hearts skip a beat :)

Welcome to the world Cooper Jack, you may not know it yet but you have the sweetest family and fit in just perfectly! Jeremy, Kerri and Brock we love you to pieces and are thrilled about your newest addition! xoxo
