I couldn’t wait to share these two sneaks of baby Drake. At 9 days old he took some coaxing to get to sleep, but once he was out he was so easy to work with! Never-mind the fact that I had to put a little spit on his knees to make sure he wouldn’t slide off the guitar, don’t judge, it worked and the shot was SOOOO worth it! So what if he pooped on me, peed on the backdrop and peed on dad! We had a perfect session and I’m excited to capture him as he grows!

I have a bunch of babies on the schedule so stay tuned for more sneak peeks!

Enjoy!

I’m very behind on my blog posts so for those of you waiting on a teaser I’m sorry for the delay – the beautiful weather, travels and company have me extra busy this summer and I’m lovin’ it!

There is no shortage of love for this little gal – she had an entourage follow her to the studio for her photo debut. Five adults and one sweet star of the show. Grace came to me a little grumpy, but after a few mad spells and some nursing time with momma she was good and sleepy and a dream to work with. Her momma and daddy were naturals with her and even though she had only met daddy less than 24 hours earlier when he arrived home for R & R from Iraq he slipped into his role without missing a beat. It’s so fun to watch parents as they learn the ropes of soothing and caring for their new arrival. Good work guys! Say an extra prayer for this new family as daddy finishes his last two months in Iraq. It was a pleasure to work with you and I wish you the best while you’re apart. Enjoy!

Sam was so easy on me…smiley, happy, calm, patient and so much fun to watch! I photographed his parents and older brother, Bo, as a newborn 3 years ago and now there’s Sam who just turned 1 and a new little guy due in October. I love watching families grow and being able to capture them in varying stages of their lives. It’s such an honor to have so many clients who return time and again. I love my job! 

Seriously, check out the smile on this little guy! He was so much fun to have in the studio and turned into such a ham near the end of the shoot. Enjoy that smile!

This chunky monkey has the best baby rolls! She was super fun to photograph and for just 5 months old she was sure down for anything. I love the first shot here – it looks like she’s saying ‘holy cow guys I’m never going to be able to spell that!’. Thanks for a great shoot. Enjoy your teasers…

Little Lily was a little rock star during her shoot – she didn’t want to miss anything so she wouldn’t sleep no matter what we tried. Her mama had a vision for Lillian to be surrounded by lily’s so she ordered flowers for the shoot and they weren’t the right ones so she gave up on the concept. When she arrived and told me what happened she was thrilled to hear I had star gazers from my sweet hubby on my counter. We patiently waited for little Lily to close her eyes and after three wide awake hours she finally conceded and closed her eyes for the shot of the day. Adorable!  

have been keeping me busy in the studio during these cold, below zero days! Many of my shoots lately have been hottie wives sending smokin’ hot care packages to Iraq, tucking them under the tree or saving them for sweet Valentine’s Day gifts. These shoots are too hot for the blog so click here to visit the website and go view the beautiful bodies gallery. 

For a more suitable blog shot here’s a little munchkin all cozied up in a new little cocoon my mom made.

It’s -14 this morning so I thought it would be a good day to post a couple shots from the sweetest summer baby! Abby was a perfect little model. After a full studio shoot it didn’t phase her one bit being naked in the light breeze, trudging through the swampy bog or being tickled by the wispy grass. Good thing we aren’t all that comfortable being naked in the summer sun.  :)

The Union 76 boxes in one of the shots trigger many childhood memories for me…these boxes carried our goods for our trips to the cabin and my dad’s gear on his hunting trips. Dad use to work at our family owned, Kelly’s tire station as a young guy and these boxes were part life at the shop. When I came across them at my parents house I snagged them for my studio. My client came in and they spurred fond childhood memories for her as well – her family use to own a Union 76 shop when she was a girl. The boxes were perfect for Abby.

Here’s to naked baby buns…
