My sweet Finley is the luckiest gal ever because her cousin Cadence was born just 5 weeks after her and lives only 10 minutes away!  My sister and I were so excited to find out we were both having girls only a few weeks apart.  Since we were still in newborn chaos ourselves when Cadence arrived, we split up her newborn session into two days.  That ended up working out well, because she was kinda being a diva on day one.  ;P  Check out sweet baby Cadence and her adoring parents!

I had the pleasure of meeting beautiful 5-day old Vivienne last week for her first “official” photo shoot!  I  first met Mom and Dad when we were all in the same birthing class back before our first kiddos, and it appears they beat us to the punch on number two.   It was wonderful to see them again, they were actually my runner-up contest winners from the That’s My Kid contest back in June.   Big Sis CeCe hung in there just long enough for us to get some GREAT family and individual shots – I’m convinced that all toddlers wake up really early or skip naps the day of a photo shoot on purpose, Emory did the same thing for our pictures last month!  Thanks to some antics from grandma, we were able to get some great big smiles out of Miss CeCe.  And speaking of smiles, oh my goodness!  I think Vivi was one of the smiliest babies I’ve ever photographed.  She was soooo good during her session … sleeping nicely, waking up for a snack and diaper change, and then going right back to sleep.  I got to use some adorable new accessories too, and she was the perfect model!  Thank you so much for letting me capture these precious moments, and enjoy your sneak peek!

Welcome back baby Madeline!  The last time she was in front of my camera she was only around one week old!  My, how the time flies.  Madeline (actually her mother) answered my casting call last week, and we were able to set something up right away.  I’ve recently invested in a large variety of items to add to my home/portable “studio” set-up in preparation for a new type of session I’m offering: Milestone Mini Sessions.  These sessions are meant for those “milestone moments” during your baby’s first year, whether it be six-month portraits or celebrating baby’s ability to sit up on their own.  These are short and sweet (and very affordable), so there’s no excuse not to capture every moment along the way during that ever-changing first year.  You have the option of coming to my home studio using my studio set-up or shooting on location.  Since you’ve seen plenty of my on-location work, I wanted to take the opportunity to preview some of my new and improved studio work.  I’m so excited about the possibilities!  This is just a small part of what I can provide in-studio.  Look for more coming soon when I post Emory’s first modeling shoot!  For more information on the Milestone Mini Sessions, visit my website and go to Sessions under the Pricing tab.  Madeline was such a wonderful model – she was very tolerating of both wardrobe and background changes.  And isn’t that smile to die for?    Thanks for letting me experiment with your daughter, Amy!
