Baby Gabe (and his parents).

I got to shoot two beautiful sessions with Erin and Landon.

First, a maternity session that included a special "docu-mini." We captured the soon-to-be parents writing letters to their future baby which they wrote separately and read to each other on camera. They then placed the letters in a mason jar and buried them in the backyard as a time capsule to be uncovered when their little one is old enough to understand. It was touching to hear them tell their hopes and dreams for their future as parents. Watch the video below to see what I mean :)

The second session was done when baby Gabriel was only 12 days old! I enjoyed capturing the relationship between he and his brand new parents. It is such an incredibly exciting time in their lives and I felt so lucky to be be a little part in it, even just for one afternoon... and I got to hold him!! :)

Carly Rae Shannon.

Jen Shannon is one of my favorite 2nd shooters but I've had to give her a little break because she's been busy preparing for motherhood. Carly Rae was born on January 12th at 5:20 pm and she was eagerly anticipated by her family. Two weeks after her due date she entered this world and melted the hearts of both of her parents.

...9 days later I got to meet her and take these photos. We had a great newborn session, with sweet little Carly evening smiling in a few of my shots!

Jen did an amazing job decorating Carly's room! I peeked inside and saw that she agrees with me :)

The Christley Family

My friend Kate is also a local photographer (Kate Gardiner Photography). When she gave birth to her 2nd baby recently, I used a photo shoot as an excuse to meet him! :) They have an adorable family that I've been able to watch double in size since we met. It was my pleasure to photograph their family and their precious, new baby boy.

Baby Blake

Two weekends ago Jay and I went up to Atlanta to film a wedding. It was great timing because I had just gotten a connection through a friend of mine for a couple who was looking at doing newborn portraits in the Atlanta area. Baby Blake was only 4 days old when I took these pictures. What an adorable baby!! And what a great job I have!

happy new year, baby!

I have babies on the brain. I recently photographed this adorable little sweetie and I'm expecting a little sweetie of my own in April. That means I won't be shooting weddings for a short time: March 7th - May 3rd (well just one very small wedding that I couldn't resist). But I'm hoping to shoot a lot more precious newborns like Noah in 2011. They're fun, laid back sessions done at your home in the first few days of life (when babies are in their squishy, sleepy stage). Now that I can handle any day.

Oh, and if you're wondering. Jay is still shooting weddings with our second shooters while I'm on maternity leave :)
