Part two of two BEAUTIFUL newborns!!

And here she is...5 day old baby Madysan! Oh my...she is just like my youngest daughter, Lily. The hair, the skin color and the fact that she is a girl was such a strong reminder. It made me want to scoop her up and take her home!! She was the fastest newborn to shoot so far! We got through 5 different poses and areas of the yard before she was ready to eat. Of course, since she was so good...I had to try a few more after after her little break. And just like baby Jakob (post directly prior), she was a perfect baby and never made a peep. Oh, but she did make plenty of poop! haha My towel, a few wash clothes, her mommy's tummy...just to name a few!

K&J, enjoy falling in love with your own little miracle!

Part one of two BEAUTIFUL newborns!!

I had two newborn shoots this past weekend and both are equally dear to my heart. I had wanted to blog them together, however...there were too many to choose from. It was difficult for me! Seriously, this started with 13 pics and I KNEW I couldn't do that many for just one baby. Enough of my issues...on to baby Jakob!

His parents brought him over and we did the shoot in my backyard. It was a nice day in between all of the showers we have been having. Jakob was a tiny 6lb-er and PERFECT! He smiled so many times and I even caught a handful of them with the camera. He never cried, not even when he was hungry...really! I enjoyed him and am so excited to watch him grow up! What a trooper he was for his first shoot! (and YES..I am upgrading my blog soon so you can get the full effect of my pics...these little ones just don't do the images justice).

All it takes is one infant smile to have a domino effect on a new mom and dad...this was definitely 'in the moment' and I loved that I captured this 7 day old family all smiling together!

Add to your prayers...

Myra and her family had a recent, sudden turn of events that put everything that is important into perspective. Myra was diagnosed with ovarian cancer last week and scheduled an immediate surgery for this past Tuesday. She called me last week, to move her family photos up from a later time in the year. I was fortunate enough to be in town for ONE day between production gigs, so I was so thankful that I could accommodate her. Please keep Myra and her family in your prayers as she regains strength to begin her chemotherapy sessions. Myra has such a positive and beautiful outlook on life that I admire. I feel honored that she asked me to capture their time together...and we had some fun with the kids, that's for sure!

Oh boy!!!

Would you believe little C is 6 months old? This client (now a friend) was smart to purchase the package of 5 events in one year! Some want it for random times with multiple children's bdays and a few holidays. But, here you just have one little guy with two proud parents that want to preserve his first year! Smart parents, as most of us know they grow WAY too fast! I am in love with little C here! He surprised me with how mature he seemed during the shoot. He knew what he wanted, where he liked to sit and had nothing to do with his tummmy! Ha! Don't worry little man, I will get you in October at your 9 month session! Don't you think he looks like one of those china dolls in the first two pictures? His piercing blue eyes, snow white skin and that precious smocked outfit made just for him!
