Little Rhett comes to town!

The other day little Rhett came by for his 10 month portrait. What a happy child he was! He just sat there and reacted to everything I did. He gave me some serious looks, some big smiles – he was just great to photograph! My favorite thing is when I get intense expressions from young children. You just wonder what is going through their thoughts. I adored his lips – what a catch he will be when he gets older! :-)

Here are two of my favorite images…

Adorable. Just. Plain. Adorable.

This past Monday I had the opportunity to photograph little two week old Mason. He was supposed to make his professional photography debut at 10 days old, but little Mason couldn’t make it at that time. So a short while later his Mommy and Daddy, Laurel and Chris, brought him here so I could meet him and photograph him! It took a bit of coaxing to have him fall asleep – but with patience – it worked! Chris asked me why I wanted all the photos of Mason sleeping – I told him newborn babies tend to cry and fuss and flail around when they’re awake – but when they’re asleep it is much easier to photograph them. And I love the soft, gentle expressions you get.

Laurel and Chris were going to come in today to view their images for the first time, but, once again, circumstances happened to prevent that – and I couldn’t have them wait another week to see them – so here is a Sneak Peek at some of my favorites.

Can’t wait to show you the rest of the images when you come by next Saturday! Till then – enjoy!

The arrival of baby number three!

Today I had the pleasure of photographing a 21 day old little baby boy! We got some great images of the family and of the 3 children together and then he started fussing! I suggested that perhaps the wee one needed some nourishment and Mom said he had just eaten less than an hour earlier! Well after a bit more fussing, she fed him and he calmed right down!

I don’t know why it is, but newborns always seem to need to nurse!

Here is the Lexa Vignette Portrait they ordered…

Two years earlier I photographed his big brother at 6 weeks of age …

And two years before that, I photographed their sister at 7 weeks of age!!

I’ve had the opportunity to see these children grow!

another baby!

Recently I photographed Nichole and Don for their maternity session. And I was thrilled when their little baby girl arrived and I could photograph her at just 6 days old! Welcome sweet Bailey – you’re so beautiful!

Thank you Nichole and Don and Bailey! I can’t wait to see her grow up!

13 days overdue and she’s here!

On January 23, 5 lb. 10 oz. Brooke Faye arrived. Her parents were waiting and waiting….. but Brooke decided to make her entrance on her terms! What a gorgeous little girl! Look at those lips. She’ll definitely be a heart-breaker one day!

Thanks Jared and Sandi – for bringing little Brooke in when she was just just 5 days old! Here are some of my favorite images from the session.

Ohhhh – she’s smiling!

And very alert!
