The B Family

I have just the most darling family to share with you.  Meet the B family.  These fine folks are actually a military family that entered in the Military Family Photo Contest that we did this year and decided that they would like to have some photos done of them when they visited the area.  I absolutely loved that they came ready in bright fun clothes that reflected this special stage in their lives.  Plus, they brought a Mimi to the mix to get some grandparent love 🙂  Thanks guys for sharing that damp morning with me…these were adorable!   

  

 

Beautiful Bella

I have to admit that when I left Bella’s house, I felt like I failed.  My insecurities were running high.  I was afraid that I didn’t capture the precious little girl like she deserved.  And when I got home and started editing…well, I fell in love.  Even though her mom described her as not very smiley at this age, we managed to squeek out some grins (thanks Meaghan for your arm workout!)…and her expressions make this one of my very VERY favorite photoshoots.  Who couldn’t love this little bundle of personality with that head of hair?!  She’s a complete dollbaby.

Magical Madison

Sweet Madison was a complete angel the entire time we spent together.  I absolutely loved the fact that her mama and daddy wanted to do a couple pictures of her on her special quilt – which in a previous life was a grandma’s wedding dress!  You can even see the precious pearls and details creating Madison’s sleeping cacoon!  And her darling parents were so enamored with her…it’s quite obvious why.  She definitely gets the award for best lips.  Okay…best everything.  I say that every time, don’t I?  But it’s true.  I can’t help but fall in love with these newborns.  They are just so darling…I could almost take them home.  I would too if the parents would let me 🙂

 

Lovely Lyla

Little Lyla’s mama drove her down all the way from TENNESSEE just to get her photos taken…and I am so glad she did.  What a little doll!  I am so thrilled to add her to my portfolio of little ones.  Look at that face!  Like a little Gerber Baby!  This age, the sitting babies, are my favorite.  I know that I say this after every photoshoot…but how could she not be a favorite with eyes like that!  Thanks you guys for making the trek and I hope that you are thrilled with your photos…I will never forget how your little girl was sittin’ in that grass 🙂

 

  

 

Sweet Caroline

Did you ever hold a newborn girl in your hands?  A newborn that was so delicate and beautiful that it was like holding a doll made of featherweight glass?  This baby girl was that for me.  Simply gorgeous.  Makes me wish I had a little girl…so simply lovely.   And you can see why…her mother was drop dead gorgeous.  Thanks Jessica for your patience in getting your photos…I hope you love them as much as I do!    

 

Newborn Maggie

Maggie was only four days old when I had the pleasure of taking her newborn photos.  She was a little restless the entire time we shot and she was struggling with reflux, so it was definitely a challenge to capture her happy but when she finally slipped off into sleep, she was doing those sweet little sleep smiles that made it completely worth it.  Thanks Brook for allowing me to be a part of your new little girl’s first days.  She was DARLING.

   

Suter Family Maternity Shoot

It was a joy to capture the growing Suter family before the arrival of their little girl.  I was able to snag of few shots of big sister Lilley as she joined in some of the maternity photos and even took some of the spotlight for herself.  Loved Brook’s heirloom dress – such a great choice for a meaningful timeless piece that adds that special something to the history of these photos.
