Abigail is HERE! Oh, this sweet session! From maternity to newborn, I have LOVED working with this sweet family. I can't wait to see Abigail grow up with his sitter session and 1 Year Session on my First Year Plan. And that big sister of hers! They are SO cute together! So happy to have had the opportunity to get to know this sweet family!

I'm so incredibly excited to see Leila grow over the next year at her Sitter Session and 1 Year Session. Welcome to the world, sweet girl!

Look at those toes! This little man and that gorgeous blonde hair! I just can't get over it. Not only was he a complete doll while he was here, but he also gives off such a peaceful and perfect aura. I get so emotional when I take the maternity photos and then see the beautiful babies my clients create, so I had to include and before and after at the bottom of this post. Look at all of that beauty!

Oh, my heart! This session was INCREDIBLE. We had an initial challenge of working around having no natural light, so guess what? I brought my studio to them! And oh my, oh my, what a gorgeous in-home session this is! Baby Levi is stunning and beautiful with two amazing parents. Not to mention, their home is a DREAM! It was such a calm, relaxing environment. AMAZING experience with this family!

This family has my heart. I am so honored to present to you little Gradin, son of my dear friends, Judith and Girard. I have been waiting and excited for his arrival! Judith and I have talked about so many things involving motherhood and birth, and we always laughed and said we wanted to make sure our kids came out good-looking. Well, Judith, Gradin couldn’t be any better looking if he tried! He is stunning! I am so excited for this amazing journey and episode of your lives that you are about to start. I know there are many many playdates and trips to the park for our boys in the future! I love you guys!

Not only is this a gorgeous little family, but this home is like WOW. It is so incredibly gorgeous. I absolutely loved hearing about all of the work Zach put into this home for their family. Hudson also has an amazing big brother, Noah, who was out of town during this session, but we will be sure to get some photos of them at the next session! I cannot wait to see Noah with his sweet little brother. This family stole my heart from the moment I walked in the door!

What an exciting day when an amazingly talented photographer asks you to take her lifestyle newborn photos! As a photographer, we aim to capture our own children more than anything, but it is terribly hard to get your own family ready, set up a tripod, and attempt to get those images yourself! We all need a little help from our photog-friends!

I'm in LOVE with lifestyle photography. I never knew just how emotional I would become about this form of art. I often say that, as a photographer, I aim to drive out the happiness in people's lives. I can't think of a better way to instill life with a photograph other than new life. Enough with the sappy. This session is all things good in the world. I am ecstatic for the Barts family. Sweet Charlie is beautiful in all ways.
