I love photographing newborns and children. They are so sweet, innocent, and perfect. They act without fear of judgment. They see the world as a place of opportunity. Opportunity to play, explore, laugh, learn. They forgive easily, love unconditionally, and give freely. There is so much we can learn from children if we watch them. What a gift they are. I love their little quirks. How different they all are. After each session I feel like I know them a little bit. I smile while I’m editing pictures of their different facial expressions and personality. So thanks for sharing them with me! Every time I photograph one of these little ones my goal is to send you home with memories of what they were like at that stage so you will always be able to revisit the joy they were. Time has a way of fading things, even the things that are currently constant. I’m so thankful for the invention of photography! What a blessing to be able to preserve those memories.

Such a sweet little thing. And she hardly even used the bathroom on any of my things. That is rare folks! I love photographing these precious little babies. Look at her. She’s so fresh, sweet, and perfect. It seriously makes me happy to get to preserve these memories for people.

I photographed this little guy as a newborn. Now he’s one. How this happens so fast never ceases to amaze me. His daddy is currently deployed. He missed his first steps and doesn’t want to miss his first haircut. I think that is so sweet. What a fantastic dad!

So here’s his little boy, waiting for him. Doesn’t this picture say it all.

Thank you for all you do on behalf of us and this great country! A little reminder of how tiny he was just a year ago!

Little Mrs. “J” was the easiest little newborn I’ve encountered so far. She crashed out and stayed out. Apparently she was awake most of the morning prior to the session. So if you have a newborn session with me don’t let them sleep all morning. Just kidding. It was fabulous though. Without further adieu.

A little sister love.

I have never met a more alert 6-day-old baby. I kept thinking at any moment he was going to fall into a deep sleep because he’d been awake so long. It was amazing. He was perfectly content and wide awake. Mom said he came into the world wide eyed and content too. I’m confident this little guy is ready to take on this old world. I bet he’ll do some amazing things. I’ll be saying to people, “I took his baby pictures.” Thanks for waiting it out with me. He’s one gorgeous little baby!

My little bundle arrived on January 4th. I’m in newborn heaven. Thought I’d share a few pictures for those who’ve been watching for him.

It’s a good thing I really love my boys or sessions with such adorable little girls, such as this one, would really make me bummed not to have a girl. Not that I wouldn’t like one, but I’m fine with all my boys. All the same, she is simply too precious.

Can I tell you how excited this makes me for my little one to get here. Just a few weeks left. How precious is she! She sure gave us a run for our money but I think we got some keepers anyway. More to come.

Most of you already know, but for those who haven’t heard, we are expecting our 4th BOY! I must admit that while photographing this adorable little girl I had to make sure I didn’t think about it too much. It did make me very excited to have a newborn again. If you don’t want more babies I would probably stop looking now while you still can.

I tried to warn you!
