finley brand new

I love love.  Let me introduce you to a whole LOT of it.

Meet brand new baby boy who was born at a whopping 10 lbs, 14 oz almost two weeks ago!!  Sweet baby boy Finley.  I loved this couple as a duo.  Couldn’t even come close to being prepared for the love that was SO AMAZING when they became a party of 3.  I could go on and on about the Day’s, but I may lose it a little and begin to ramble.  Which is so easy for me to do.  So, I will leave you with this…. when your first baby is born take it all in.  The emotional roller coaster if you will.  I have been there…..TWICE.  It’s the most amazing gift in the world.  So very thankful that Emily and Chris let me capture ALL of that emotion during my time with them.  We cried together, we laughed together during the few hours I was there.  It was wonderful.  

Finley….you, my sweet new buddy are LOVED BIG.  Looking forward to watching you grow over your first year!

cameron is 9 months

This little dude is one of my favorites.  I have a very special place in my heart for little boys since I have two of my own.  I get them.  I understand their want to stay busy and be entertained constantly.  When momma told me he wasn’t acting like himself that morning I wasn’t surprised that it took Cameron only about 10 minutes to show me that big beautiful smile.  He can be a little under the weather but still be one of the happiest babies to be around.  And, sweet Sarah’s parents came to join us for a few shots.  I just loved that.  It’s important to get those awesome grandparents in images!!  SO very important.

This year with Cameron has absolutely FLOWN by.  Next time I see him and his awesome parents he will be ONE.  And, we are meeting on his actual birthday.  Sure to be lots of fun!!

See you soon buddy!

lily c 6 months

I love this stage in the first year!  Especially when the babies are sitting up really well.  They are just so darn proud of themselves annnnnnd they aren’t running away from me YET.  By 9 months the sessions get fast and furious for both me AND the parents.  But, 6 months is pretty darn easy.  

Last time I saw this sweet girl was right before the holidays and dad wasn’t able to join us.  I was happy to hear that they would all be there for this one.  I think it is SO very important for the entire family to be present for most of these sessions.   Any time I get an inquiry from a new potential client and they say “I don’t want to be in any of the pictures….just our child… because…I haven’t lost the weight, my hair isn’t done, I don’t like the way I look, etc”…I just laugh.  Are we ever REALLY happy with the way we look?  And, guess who really doesn’t care about any of that stuff?  Your child.  They love you just the way you are and I promise you they would much rather have a handful of images with you guys in them instead of pictures of them by themselves.  Just saying.  My rant is over.  And, for the record Lily’s daddy was working the last session it just sparked up something that bugs me a tad :)

I adore this family.  I absolutely love this happy baby girl!!  Can’t even imagine what this happy bug will be like at 9 months!!!

presley is 3 months

Precious P!!!  I have been calling this sweet beautiful girl Precious P since the first time I met her.  Isn’t she, though?  Momma wanted to meet somewhere else other than their home for Presley’s 3 month session.  And, the only place to meet indoors during these colder months is the Factory.  Such a cool place with such great colors AND light!  

3 months is unpredictable as I have said time and time again.  Happy to report that this little girl was happy happy and loved sticking her cute little tongue out at me OFTEN!!  I just love her.  And, her parents!

Can’t wait to see you in 3 short months!!

linley is 6 months

Sweet Linley is now 6 months!!  Still as beautiful as ever, but smiling more and more.  She isn’t quite sitting up yet, so we decided to keep the session at their home to make it a little easier.  9 months we are going to bring all the sisters together and I am so excited about that.  BUT, I was happy to devote 100% of my time to Linley.  She is one precious bug.

She spent a lot of time on her tummy, but I do believe she loved her back most.  Loved all of her sweet sweet faces!  

Sweet baby girl…I’ll see you soon!!
