Beautiful Family

Spent my morning with this beautiful family.

They braved the weather outside to capture

some pics in the snow as well....It was little

Ella's first time in the snow, what an awesome

moment to capture....

Meet Sweet Caroline (Mishawaka, IN Newborn Photographer)

Sweet Caroline came for a visit this morning....

She is 2 1/2 weeks young & is the most alert baby

I have ever photographed :)

Typically, I photograph babies within the first 7-10 days

of life & I capture them sleeping. However, Caroline's

Mama & Dad knew she was anything but typical.....

She arrived one week early, weighing over 9lbs & had

an agenda of her own for today :) She kept her Mama

& Dad up all night and still didn't miss a beat during her

session :) We decided to compromise with her....she

did a fabulous job & went down in history as the first

baby to ever be photographed by me awake,

from start to finish!

Jillian & Matt, she is the sweetest little girl & I am

so honored to have captured these precious moments

in your lives. Donna, it was great to meet you also

and to see you so excited as we took these :)

7 Days new! (Buchanan, MI Newborn Photographer)

Meet sweet little Tatum. She was 7 days new today when

she came to be photographed. I saw her on day 2 and it is

amazing how much she has changed already. Her Mama

is my cousin, so I was really excited to take these for her :)

She was a great sleeper for me & was full of smiles.

So happy for her Mama & Dad, whose lives will never

be the same, but will be better :)

New-ness.

Everyday, I wake up & get to live my dream,

I am thankful, but when my clients are

*new* to the world, I am extra thankful.

Can you imagine how wonderful my day

is going to be when it starts like this with

sweet little Naomi and her *New-ness?*

OUR family pics!

Being a photographer myself, it is not often that I am on the

other side of the lens...but I know the importance of family photos

and want to capture us each year through our journey together.

This year, we had them taken by Joann Kaser of Josephiney Photography.

Her style reminded me a lot of mine and I was very excited to work

with her and since we had been trying to meet for coffee since the

summer, this was a great way for us to meet :)

Joann, thanks sooooo much for the wonderful pics you took

of the people I love the most. You are very talented and sweet

and I am looking forward to some girl talk! :)

Fresh.Baby.Cute-ness. (Niles, MI Newborn Photographer)

I could not resist sharing these sneak peeks of this

ten day old little guy. Brady's Mama & Grandma were so

cute when I was photographing him....they were giggling

& "aww-ing." It was the sweetest thing. :)

*

He was by far the easiest newborn I have ever

photographed! He didn't fuss when Mama undressed

him, which is amazing in itself :) All of you NB photogs

know that taking their clothes off, generally doesn't

make them happy. Jen, I am so happy for you and Brandon,

Brady is the perfect *start* to your family...wink-wink.

Love this family :)

It's hard to believe that a year has passed

since I did Caio's newborn pics! Look at

him standing up and looking so cute in his

little outfit! He is such a sweet little guy

and he has a wonderful family :)

This is a newborn pic below too :)

I think Dad is pretty proud of his little guy....

Love this moment between Caio & Mama...

The pic below with Grandma & Grandpa cracks

me up! He kept sticking his tongue out while they

were smiling for the pics, hahaaha!

Meet Bo!!! (Niles Newborn Photographer)

My dear friends Staci & Derrick welcomed

their first little one to their family :) Bo is the sweetest

most alert newborn I have ever seen. His Mama & Daddy

are forever changed. Congrats you two and thanks

again for letting me love on him, take his pics and be

the first babysitter!! :)

Feeling Bubbly :)

I loved watching my son, Adison, having

so much fun with bubbles....something so

simple and inexpensive....

Meet Miss Paislie.... (Niles Newborn Photographer)

On Tuesday, Sept 13th, my great-niece,

Miss Paislie was born. She is the sweetest,

most adorable little snuggle-bug ever!

Mom and Dad are just smitten with her

and Aunt Lori is over the moon :)
