Baby Dani { newborn }...

Baby Dani - just 6 weeks old and such a cutie. This shoot was in the studio with mom, dad, gramma and grandpa on the sidelines. Had to get the shop vac out for a little bit (put grandpa to sleep but not Dani-seriously).

A few of my faves! I just love babies. They are so adorable and sweet.

MacKenna { newborn }...

Sweet, sweet baby MacKenna, just 12 days old. Can you get any cuter than this? I photographed MacKenna on location in her home. Here are a few of my favorites.

Oh, and they had the BIGGEST cat named Bailey that I've ever seen! Really this cat was huge. I should have taken a few pictures of the cat too.

If you guys are reading this send me a picture of your cat so I can post it.

Michael { six months } ...

I always look forward to my sessions with little Michael. I mean look at how adorable he is! This was his six month studio session. He was such a good boy too and he loved the blocks mom brought along. He's growing up so fast.

I can't wait for his nine month "family" session in the fall. I'm really hoping to do it on location with some beautiful autumn colors.

Cowbow Hat (not for newborns, lol)...

I also picked up a great Fedora hat at Target on clearance (not shown)

Baby "T" ...

Introducing Baby "T", just five weeks old. Isn't he the cutest? I love babies. They are so squishy, fresh and lovable.

Mom brought "T" to the studio for our session. He was a bit cranky but we worked around it. Took our time and came away with some wonderful images. The shoot lasted almost 3 hours with breaks for feedings. He didn't sleep the entire time. Near the end of our shoot he was pretty fussy so I decided to bring out the Shop Vac. As soon as I turned it on he relaxed, listened and enjoyed the noise. It was pretty amazing. He even started to fall asleep in the basket. I'll be using the Shop Vac for all of my baby shoots from now on.

Mom saw this first pose hanging on canvas in my studio and wanted to try it. Came out great!

Katie { Maternity } ...

All because two people fell in love...I adore these maternity sessions and this couple was so sweet and willing to try anything. They were the perfect clients. Katie and Dave are expecting their first baby, a boy, in just a few short weeks. She was just glowing during our session. Here are a few of my personal favorites.
