I had the pleasure of meeting these two beautiful girls this morning for a newborn session. Big sister is just adorable and little sister is a tiny five day old peanut. Big sister helped me go through my things while little sister ate, ate, and ate some more ;) She was a hungry girl with no time for photos! We did well though- our patience paid off. Aren’t they just perfect?

I love this one.. how sweet of her at the age of two.. to try to comfort her brand new sister.

I snapped this one of big sister while Mom was in the other room feeding the baby.. we were playing with her balloon..

I love her tiny, peely, newborn hands.

This is one of my favorite families.. and they’re moving :( This was our third session and just when I thought their little guy couldn’t possibly be any cuter- he is! Look at those curls and big, gorgeous eyes! We enjoyed a fun morning at the park yesterday. A family- I’m sad to see you all leave Nashville, but I’m looking forward to seeing you again for more pictures this fall in DC (with your two year old!).

I’ve been waiting a few months to meet these adorable sisters, and I finally got to meet them this afternoon. They happen to live in my neighborhood, which worked out nicely :) We were able to shoot a bit at their house and then we headed to the neighborhood clubhouse for some outdoor shots. Big sister was amazingly patient for a three year old and little sister.. completely fearless! Aren’t they beautiful?!

I had a session with this gorgeous family a few weeks ago. The little ones just weren’t feeling 100%, so we decided to have a “part two” of their session. We ended up with a lot of cute individual shots last time, but we didn’t have too much luck with a family picture and that was what we needed for a canvas order. I’m so happy to say that today was a big success in that regard- we have family shots with everyone looking and smiling.. and with a two year old and a baby- that’s huge!

Lucy’s nursery is absolutely beautiful.

I love the trains and lovey that made their way into most of the pictures.. that is so wonderfully age appropriate :)

This is Wyler, and he’s brand new. Isn’t he precious? His Mom was so sweet- she let me hold him for a bit and oh my goodness.. he really is cute enough to make you want another of your own! He wasn’t sure he wanted to sleep for me, but he nursed enough to change his mind and we were good to go ;) Welcome to the world sweet boy- it was so great to meet you and your family today!

Flaky newborn skin.. awww..

Happy First Birthday Baby A!! I just love this baby, and I can’t believe she’s already one! She had us laughing nearly the entire time I was at her house today. This was my fifth session with her (I’ll say it again, I can not believe she’s already one!), and her baby plan is now complete. It is amazing how fast that first year goes by. She was just as happy and laid back as she’s always been and we got lots of great shots! I had no idea how to pick for the blog– they are all just adorable.. so here are a few in a set of many. :) Enjoy!

Can you find the baby? I love how she still looks so tiny in her room.. even if she is a big one year old now..

Search back to find her “chair pictures” from her previous sessions.. she wasn’t as willing to sit still for this round ;) We got some of her sweet face, but I love this one of her hiding from us.

Happy Mother’s Day! This year, my little boys gave me a wonderful gift. They gave me a few minutes of time in a park at sunset while I had my camera! I love the sweet shot of them walking together through the field, it’s truly ‘picture perfect’.. but really, my favorite shot is the one of my littlest guy dangling around his brother’s neck while he tries so hard to give him ‘just one more kiss’ because that’s what Mommy asked him to do. Big brother was finished with the kisses.. it’s perfect- it is a picture that tells the story, shows their personalities, and it will look great on a canvas on my wall :) Thanks boys!

This is Cooper. Cooper’s Mom is very funny, as you can tell from Cooper’s face in the first picture! I love the way babies laugh at their parents :) Cooper is three months old now (search back a couple of months to find her birth and newborn pictures) and she could not be cuter. Three months can be a hard age for pictures.. not really curly or sleepy and not yet sitting up. However, I think it’s just as important to get three month pictures as it is any other time in a babies first year. It is the beginning of the “baby” faces, the end of the super tiny legs and feet, and the beginning of the adorable chubby cheeks and the amazed eyes as they are starting to take in the world. This is the time when they really start to develop a personality, and I can’t imagine missing it!

Look at the way she crosses her little legs- she was born crossing them like that and still does! We had to get a shot of this for Mom to remember by.. so girly!

Looking out the window, it’s hard to believe I took these pictures just last night. It sure is wet out there today! We went outside to play before dinner yesterday, and I took a few pictures of the boys playing together. There is a big age difference between my boys and while they get along wonderfully, it is sometimes hard to find things they both enjoy. This is one of them.. big brother loves to run as fast as he can pushing (in the car that was his when he was just a little guy!). Baby brother loves the ride. It’s a true win win :)
