new babies...

Newborn shoots seem to come in spurts. It's like I'll go weeks without any and then all of a sudden, there are all these new babies to photograph! Last month it seemed that it was all boys being born...everyone who called me was having a boy. But August seems to be the time for girls. Hooray!

Sweet little Avery was only a week old when we did these pictures last week. She was an absolute angel (though a hungry one at times) through the whole session. Isn't her hat the cutest thing ever? She seemed so tiny to me...

You might remember these sweet girls from a session we did before Christmas. Their little sister arrived a few weeks ago and I was so excited to get to meet the newest addition to the family. I love this picture of the girls with Kayden. Really and truly, they are two of the sweetest and most joyful girls I have ever photographed. After we did some shots with them outside, they played upstairs together; throughout the shoot, we could hear them laughing and enjoying one another. Being in their home was a blessing to me. I am looking forward to seeing these sisters grow up alongside one another.

Speaking of growing families, I haven't updated in a while about our adoption. There is really no news to report other than that we are still waiting. I don't know why I'm surprised but I always am by how supported and encouraged we've been by people we know and don't know. We are so grateful.

A bit of a switch here. I think this session with baby Matthew was the week after we arrived home from the cruise. It was a Thursday morning. Cold, dark, and rainy, rainy, rainy. Did I mention that it was raining? But the beauty of the indoor home studio session was that despite the rain, we did not have to cancel our shoot! Baby Matthew was the most accomodating of newborns. My theory continues that the calmer the mama and daddy are, the calmer that the newborns are. Perhaps someone (some baby) will debunk this theory eventually but for now, I'm sticking toi t. I love this picture of Lauren and her boys.

Tyler was so great while we were taking all of these pictures of his little brother. I was so happy that he gave me about 30 seconds to capture a little bit of who he is! He really is just the cutest thing ever.

welcome...

Babies, babies, babies! I have been photographing so many newborns in the last couple of weeks. And they have all been BOYS! Here is one incredibly sweet family.

You may recognize big sister Libby from previous posts. She is always a joy to photograph because she herself is full of so much joy and light. Seeing her with her baby brother was no different!

Meet Clark. I hope you will be seeing more of him as he grows!
