“Being a mother means that your heart is no longer yours; it wanders wherever your children do.

~Author Unknown

What a fun session!  I loved this couple and am so very excited to meet their sweet baby girl when she makes her arrival next month.  They have been patiently awaiting their sneak peeks as I try to recover from complications from surgery (thanks for being SO sweet and understanding!) Her nursery is so sweet–fit for a princess.  We started off at their beautiful home and made sure to get some shots in of the new “big sis”–isn’t she so precious, and how cute is her shirt?!

I am in love with this gorgeous outdoor location, too.  I just adore doing maternity sessions in nature–I think there is just something so fitting about a woman with a perfectly round belly among trees, water and the outdoors.  This stunning mama-to-be was up for anything, and doesn’t pregnancy agree with her?  I just loved the look in her hubby’s eyes and the sound of his voice as he looked at her and spoke to her as she was being photographed.  Really, it was just so touching.  He is obviously just so in love with her and seems so excited and happy that she is carrying their child.  If this is how he is now, can you imagine when his daughter arrives?  Miss B, you must get ready for your next career–a pregnancy model!  You are a natural, girlie!!  :)   Enjoy your sneak peeks, and I look forward to next month when I get to meet your new little peapod.

giggles that come from deep inside and are always contagious,

everything wonderful and precious and your love for her knows

no bounds.”

– Barbara Cage

Oh, how I love this little sweetie.  I first met her when I photographed her as a newborn, then when she was around 4 months old, and now at nine months.  I LOVE my job, and I ADORE my clients!  How absolutely amazing to be able to watch this little princess grow right before my eyes!  She is such a treasure and was a wonderful little model.  T, I got that adorable little nose scrunch she does on camera…but I’m going to make you wait to see it, sorry!  He he!  I love you guys!!  Thank you so much–I can’t wait to capture the new big sis and the new baby in the fall, too!  Aww, my sweet girl is growing up! Enjoy your sneakie peekies!  ;)

This sweet little man was just a joy to meet–and his wonderful family, too!  They were referred to me first via Louisiana, then from a friend in Texas–thanks J and A!  ;)   They are so happy to welcome their little tiger (it is the Chinese year of the tiger, and that was his nickname  while he was inside mommy–adorable, right?!), and he is just so precious.   I just loved this session–from the beautiful design of the nursery, to the amazing green velvet chair to the great conversation…I could have stayed forever!  I particularly love when items with sentimental value are used for newborn sessions.  It just touched me when grandma told me that this beautiful chest that the little guy is snoozing on was passed down through several generations.  She reminisced of lining it with paper to take it to college, and noted the lovely handles her own father had made.   I hope they will, as the years pass by, find happiness and meaning in looking back at this photograph of their sweetie on this chest.  Their protective doggie is even in the background keeping a watchful eye on her new brother.  :)

Thank you for choosing me to document this amazing time in your lives, it was an honor and a pleasure to meet you.  Enjoy your sneak peeks!

This little sweetheart is just such a doll, and I adored his wispy blonde hair!  I love his nursery, too!  SO adorable!!  Check out his name on the wall!  He might have had a bit of an eventful arrival, but he is just as calm as can be and simply perfect.  He is a wonderful eater, and as is usual with newborn sessions, we worked around his schedule so that he was content and had a full belly.  What a little angel!  The new mom and dad are obviously overjoyed and so in love with their new little man.  How could you not be?!  I also enjoyed chatting with them–it was such a pleasure to meet the both of you.  Thank you for having me to your home and trusting me with these amazing first moments of you miracle.  Enjoy your sneak peeks!

I just love birthday sessions.  This little sweetie will be turning three in a few short weeks, and mom wanted to have a session to commemorate this special time in her daughter’s life.  We had so much fun!  I adored the outfits and accessories that mom came with, and this darling little girl just instinctively knew how to pose!  Let me tell you–I am SO lucky to have the most amazing clients, from my smallest newbies, to precocious toddlers to expectant mommies.  Don’t you think this little doll belongs in a catalog?  I always like to suggest when doing children’s sessions that we go with both a classic look and a more funky and fun look.  I love to capture every aspect of their full personalities.  Thanks for a great session–it was so fun to meet you and your little explorer!  I can’t wait to hear how much she enjoys her birthday tea party!  :)
