The sweetest family welcomed their 7th baby!

February 18, 2021

Family & newborn photos are always an adventure that I’m so lucky to be a part of! This gorgeous little babe belongs to one of my favorite families and a good friend of mine. I first met them just before they welcomed their fourth baby…I can’t believe they have seven now, and they make it look easy! Photographing a family of nine may sound tough, but it was a breeze! All of their kiddos are so sweet, well-behaved, and beautiful!

Welcoming a second baby boy

December 14, 2020

I was so excited to get to photograph this sweet family’s second baby boy after working with them for their first son’s first year milestones. It was fun to see big brother as an almost-two-year-old, and his baby bro was SO alert and aware of my camera! I love getting eye contact in newborn photos!

Leo the Lion’s newborn photos

Leo was the first baby in my brand new studio, and he made it absolutely perfect! He was so cooperative and adorable and I had such a blast with his session. Incorporating some fall shots was extra fun, and the lion outfit his momma brought was amazing. I got to photograph his big sister’s newborn photos a couple years before, and she had the most adorable lips and chubby cheeks too!

Newborn & sibling photos can be a challenge, but that’s also what makes them the most rewarding! In the case of Jovi & Knox, they were both incredibly sweet and so easy to photograph. I got to photograph Knox (Jovi’s big brother) almost 4 years ago, and it was so fun to get to see him again! He was “all grown up” and SO well behaved! Enjoy beautiful little Jovi and her perfect cheeks…she is so adorable!

Best time for newborn photos {Beautiful Ava}

August 8, 2020

When is the best time for newborn photos? I’ve found that 5-10 days old is ideal, but if you’ve missed this window, contact me anyway! Babies under 2 weeks old tend to be more sleepy for photos, and their skin tends to be a little more calm. After birth, baby’s skin tends to break out, peel, or become red or jaundiced…but that’s ok! Experienced newborn photographers can work their editing magic to make your perfect baby’s skin look smoothe and perfect (unless you’d like to request having your baby’s skin left as is, of course).

Preemies often need a little more time before coming in for photos too. I’ve photographed newborns up to 8 weeks old, and although newborn photos under 2 weeks is recommended, it’s definitely not a deal-breaker.

Now on to showing off little Ava…what a beautiful baby! Her momma came with lots of fun ideas in mind for her newborn photos, and it was such a blast to get to capture them for her. And what a beautiful momma she is too! It’s always tough to come up with adequate words when the photos do a much better job to speak for themselves…

Lawson has the best squishy smiles & chubby cheeks!

August 7, 2020

Being a newborn photographer is the BEST, especially when I get to work with cuties like Lawson. He has the cutest smiles, chubbiest cheeks, and adorable pouty lips! I think he set a record for the most sleepy newborn smiles I’ve ever photographed. Newborn photos are extra fun with such a squishy sweet boy like him!
