joyce // newborn // 2023

This past Valentine’s, I was asked by a Realty group to take some “kissing booth” photos for an event they were having. In that group was a sweet mama, two of her boys and a little one on the way. So glad that we met that day as she reached out to have me capture her precious little girl who was just 11 days old when I met her. Joyce did so great during her first session and slept pretty much the whole time, with exception of the beginning when she gave me the BEST facial expressions. She is sure gonna have some protective older brothers! Here’s a peek. πŸ™‚

graham // 3 months + fam

A few months ago I photographed Graham as a newborn, and due to various sicknesses, we couldn’t capture the whole family. And then, because…well…life sometimes gets crazy, we ended up reuniting for the rest of the photos when he was 3 months old! It was so cute as he was mostly wide awake much of the time and is the calmest baby ever with awesome eye contact! His siblings all wanted to snuggle him, and I think we eventually wore him out as he passed out briefly and so sweetly in his mom’s arms. They are such a sweet family and I’ve enjoyed getting to know them more! Here’s a peek. πŸ™‚

I recently captured this cute little bundle in the comfort of his own home. I love all his hair and perfect little facial features. Such a doll! I can tell mom and dad are naturals, and he is so loved already. Here’s a peek!

calvin and sofia // newborn // 2022

Recently, I had a chance to photograph this sweet military family of 5 who reminded me of my family! Six year ago, we too were in the same boat of a 4 year old girl and boy/girl newborn twins. They seem to already be champs with the addition of their two cuties. Though the twins spent a good amount of time in the nicu, thankfully they were still nice and sleepy (eventually) for our session to get some super adorable shots! I think they most enjoyed when the air (heat) was almost turned up to 80…!Β πŸ˜…Β  We will blame electronics. Here is a peek at their sweet session!

myles newborn

Mr Myles was not wanting to sleep right away, but thanks to some snacking from mom and baby whispering from dad, he finally got there and was oh-s0-squishable and adorable. Little sis seemed to adore him and is going to be such a good helper someday! Get ready for some cuteness overload.

connor // newborn // 2022

It was wonderful meeting this sweet family and photographing their newest little boy, Connor James! He was one of the most content, happy little babies who gave me the sweetest looks before taking a snooze. It is always fun to watch siblings interact withΒ a new baby, and he will certainly have a bunch of protectors as he grows up!

madeline // newborn // 2021

Sweet Madeline was so incredibly content during her session that she slept pretty much the entire time! Even between wrap changes, going outside and her brothers making some noise. πŸ˜‰ I can tell that she is so very loved and a little joy in her family’s life. Here’s a peek!

elora // newborn // 2021

Elora was the cutest little peanut with a beautiful name. She had the most adorable little furrow in her brows when she was awake and got upset, though most of the time she slept contently. Mom and dad are so in love with their precious little human and she is lucky to have them as her parents! Here’s a peek at our time together.

jet william // newborn // 2021

Little Jet is a handsome boy with the sweetest parents whom I enjoyed getting to know! He was wide-eyed, but content for a bit of our shoot, just soaking up his parent’s snuggles and taking in the world around him. Here’s a peek!

welcome to the world, sweet boy!

Last week I got to snuggle the most adorable little peanut who slept the entire time! He has the sweetest parents who invited me into their charming home and I think I might just do every session there from now on! πŸ˜‰ The light was just gorgeous from the floor to ceiling windows. Here’s a peek!

westin // newborn // 2021

Westin could not be sweeter with all of that hair and perfect little facial features, and he slept so soundly the entire shoot! I could have snuggled him all day. Though his sisters were a little more shy in holding him right away, they warmed up quickly, and I can tell that they are going to have so much fun playing together someday! Here’s a peek at our fun little session together.

hannah // newborn // 2021

It was so nice to meetΒ  this sweet family and photograph their new little bundle named Hannah. She is a cutie pie who didn’t want to sleep right away, but once we got her there, she snoozed hard. Her mom and dad were even surprised that she stayed asleep in her crib for a bit as she usually wakes up! Our last shot involved dad’s art direction, as racing is something of importance to him — I think they found a new basinet! πŸ˜‰ Here’s a peek at our fun shoot together!

lincoln // newborn // 2020

Lincoln came into the world just a bit early, and oh my, what a sweet little peanut he is! He was the most perfect little sleeper and gave the cutest smiles, and when he was awake he was just so calm. Mom and dad could not be more happy, and I can tell already that they are going to be wonderful parents to this little man! Here’s a peek!

olivia // newborn // 2020

Sweet little Olivia came into the world just a short time ago! She is welcomed by her two loving sisters and parents (& two kitties!) and is such a perfect addition to their family! From a full head of of hair to her tiny little toes, we made sure to capture all of her cuteness. Here’s a peek!

jarrett // newborn // 2020

It was not too long ago that I captured the growing baby bump on one sweet mama, and now they’ve welcomed into the world their precious little boy, Jarrett (Jett). He was so tiny and petite and felt most comfortable being all bundled up. I always like trying to incorporate some things that are special to them, and I love how the jacket one turned out since mom and dad are in the air force. Here’s a peek at our little session together!

olivia // newborn // 2020

Sweet baby Olivia came into the world one week early, and we had her newborn shoot on her actual due date! She is a cutie pie, and I see a perfect mix of mom and dad. She was one of the most vocal and animated babies I’ve ever had while sleeping. So many adorable cooing noises, smiles and other various facial expressions. Here’s a peek!

colton // newborn // 2020

I met Lisa more recently at our bible study group, and I was so happy when she asked me to photograph their expected little bundle! Colton is absolutely adorable and clearly likes to be snuggled. He was pretty upset right before the laying down pose with mom, but as soon as I set him next to her, he was immediately calm and turned his face to her. Such a beautiful bond they already share. They came with the idea of incorporating dad’s love of hunting into the session, and I love those shots turned out. Little Colton is so loved and a perfect gift from God.Β

levi // newborn // 2020

When I first saw little Levi, I could see so much of his big brother and sister in him. Having photographed all three of them as newborns, memories of the little details came flooding back of the sibling’s sessions. They all have the same nose for sure! He is such a sweet boy that is welcomed into an equally sweet family. Here’s a peek at our session!

cameron // newborn // 2020

Little Cameron was just over three weeks old when I first met him, and though babies around that age are a little more awake, this guy melted into a deep slumber pretty soon after we wrapped and rocked him a bit. Such a lucky little boy to be surrounded by such sweet parents and the most gorgeous little nursery. Here’s a peek at our time together!

brennen // newborn // 2020

Baby Brennen is one month old, and what a CUTIE he is! Big sister, Edie, is already so protective and loving towards him, I can tell they will have lots of fun playing together someday. So happy for this now family of four and am looking forward to capturing his first year!

bradley // newborn // 2020

My nephew, Bradley, came into the world not too long ago, and what a cutie he is! Little did he know that soon after being born, things would drastically change in our world. From a baby’s perspective, being home and snuggling with his family is all they really know and is exactly what they need. I think during this time, the world needed some extra snuggle time as well. Even though we decided not to all get together this last weekend (our family is a party of 20!), we look forward to the day when we can all reunite and get to know the newest little member in the family. Brinley is such a good big sister and so proud! Here’s a peek at our sweet session together.

baylie // newborn // 2019

Sweet Baylie was welcomed into the world recently and she is oh-so-squishable! She was the perfect little sleeper, all it took was one stroke between the nose and she was out like a light! Such a doll, just like her big brother and sister. Though it’s taking them a little bit of getting used to a new human in the house, I’m sure they’ll warm up in no time. πŸ˜‰ I always enjoy spending time with this sweet family! Here’s a peek at their now family of five!

leo // newborn // 2019

Little boy Leo was almost a month old when I took his newborn photos, so I was happy to take photos in his home, as we did a lot more snuggle shots and captured his alertness to the world around him. I’m almost positive he responds to his name already… πŸ˜‰ Such a cute boy with the sweetest parents. It feels like yesterday that I captured their wedding photos! So happy to have captured this precious time in their lives as a new family of 3! Here’s a peek!

zakai amar // newborn

Sweet baby Zakai came into this world just as cute as can be, and with the most awesome hair! I absolutely loved spending time with him and his sweet parents in their beautiful home, capturing this time together. And I SO appreciate Jody’s response to the session, thanking me for how much work it entailed, but I assure her, though it is my job, it does not feel like work as I love what I do! I feel so blessed to be able to freeze time and provide memories that will last for years to come. A common theme I have been hearing so often lately is that you do not know what tomorrow will bring — which is why it is so important to capture the here and now.

Little Zakai, you will not be this tiny for long. Soak up the moments you so perfectly fit into your parents arms!
