Oh little Miss Ella had no interest in sleeping for her session! After lots of eating, shushing, and bouncing we finally were able to get her to doze off. And thank goodness, because she looks fabulous in purple! Big brother Evan is so very sweet and completely adores his little sister. It was so great having the whole family in the studio.

Christian was such a good little sleepy baby. I loved having him in the studio and seeing his momma and big brother again. They are so beautiful and kind.
This is my cousin Greg and his adorable fiancé Laura. Aren't they fab?! They are so sweet and totally rocked the camera. They were in from out of town, and it just so happened to be a winter wonderland out their back door. I could not have asked for a more beautiful backdrop. But these two are gorgeous enough I could have stuck them anywhere and they would have looked fabulous. Lovebird sessions are so much fun - especially in the snow!
Ella is just the sweetest! It was so exciting to see how much she has grown since her newborn session. She was smiley then and she is smiley now! And she looks pretty adorable in a tutu and pearls!
Oh Christine - she is just beautiful! So stunning. Her two little peanuts, yes - there are two babies in there - will be making their arrival in early spring. In the meantime, Christine was brave enough to head out in these cold temperatures to let me style some photographs I have been envisioning for months. I absolutely love doing sessions in the snow - the background is so peaceful and pretty. I love how they turned out and look forward to doing more snow sessions over the next couple of months.
A couple of weeks before the holidays I was super busy with newborns, and I loved it! Here is cuddly little Ryder that was a fabulous little newborn in the studio. He rocked several poses and looks quite adorable hats!

Calum was such a good, sweet boy. Once he had a full belly he powered through his session - he even rocked the green bucket! Love it. I look forward to seeing him, and his big brother, in a few months for Calum's 4 month session.
I absolutely adore Tessa! Her parents are so super sweet, and it really was an incredible session. Mom and dad are both hunters, and dad was so super excited to get some photos of Tessa with a pair of antlers. We sure did it! She rocked it! Made her daddy proud. She also came with several beautiful handknit hats - I was in love. Enjoy the photos of this beautiful baby.
The Trikester was an absolute rockstar for his session! He slept like a champ and didn't dirty any of the blankets. Yay! He was a real peanut weighing in at 5 pounds, 14 ounces. So teeny tiny, and so very adorable. We were able to get a lot of great shots of him, including a few holiday themed ones that I will have to wait until after the holiday season to share! He started off the session with a huge smile and it only got better from there. Mrs. Tricycle (The Trikester's momma) is a blogger over at www.hellobee.com. You can find a recent post she wrote about her experience at the newborn session here.

Isn't this little girl so sweet? It is a great age to photograph. Once Gianna warmed up to me we had a little dance party and did some phone "model" poses! It was a great time!
Whenever I have a little newborn baby girl in the studio along with their older brother I always like to think about how the future will be for them. Big brothers always protect little sisters, don't they?! I am from a family of all girls - no brothers in sight - so I don't know for sure but I like to imagine that Charlie will always protect Julia. It was great to have this family in the studio and have the chance to photograph both kids.
These big beautiful eyes kill me. So stunning. I can only share a few photos from this session because a lot of them are a surprise for the holidays, but goodness is she adorable. We only lasted outside for a few minutes before the wind tried to blow us away. Into the studio we went!
Oh my sweet Graycen. Kristen and I have been best friends forever. All the way since elementary school. It brings me such happiness to see these two as parents to such a beautiful little girl. They were also nice enough to let me crash at their house for a couple of days (they live in VA) a week after Graycen was born. It was really an amazing experience and I cannot thank them enough for letting me share in such an incredible time in their lives. The other bonus? We set up a makeshift studio in their kitchen and were able to grab photos throughout the two days I was there. It allowed me to get more photos than usual. It was really hard narrowing them down, but here are some of my favorites. xoxo
Oh these sweet little cousins are so adorable! They are just best buds and it was so awesome to see them together. We had a great time at the session and had good weather too - we got to do some outdoor shots in addition to the studio ones. Love that I was able to grab a few shots of Brody's mom and dad too!
Grace was such a perfect little model! She was snug as a bug and slept right through so many different poses and blankets. There are a few others I want to share, but they're going on a holiday card so I'll have to wait until the end of December to post them. In the meantime, there is more than enough cuteness here to make you smile!
Oh Mary, you are so beautiful with that perfect little belly. I loved this session. It was great seeing soon to be big brother JJ again, and the location that Mary chose was just gorgeous.
This is my absolutely beautiful niece Amanda! Those eyes are killer, aren't they?! She was such a trooper! It was freezing cold this day, and we had to keep ducking inside during the little snow squalls that kept popping up. But she totally rocked it, and I had a ton of fun with her!
Benjamin was so much fun. He had a huge smile on his face the entire session. Inside, outside, snow, no snow - he was one happy kid! He loooooooved that chair. I seriously thought he might be taking it home with him. Ha! I had such a blast during this session, and I loved chasing him all over the property.
Look at these big beautiful eyes! Miss Gracie was such a doll - so gentle and sweet. And also? Look how stylish she is! I love how amazed she was at the falling snow.
Teagan is an absolute riot. She is so much fun, has so much personality, and cracked me up the entire session. Such an awesome family!
