Newborns... a glimpse of God...

Newborns are sweet glimpes of Heaven in my opinion... there is nothing sweeter. This sweet baby was 6 days old when I got the chance to photograph him. He is absolutely beautiful and has a head full of hair! He was the BEST baby and barely made a sound the entire shoot.. just let me move him and do whatever I needed to do without a care in the world, lol.... The only time he cried, I managed to get it on camera!!! That picture is actually one of my fav's b/c I love the little wrinkles in his body in it... The Stork Bag picture is one that I have ALWAYS wanted to try, but never have had a young enough baby to try it on. It is by far one of my all time shots that I've taken... I'm definitely going to be ordering this one for my office in b & w on metallic paper!!! Hopefully I'll get a chance in a few days to shoot this sweet angel again with his Mom, Dad & 2 brothers... stay tuned for new shots of this angelic thing!!!!

Enjoy!!!

Merabeth...the baby sister!

So, remember that baby in one my very first posts? The hand, the foot, the big baby? This is that sweet angelic think at her 4 month portraits! She is a BABY DOLL and as sweet as they come!!! She's the only one of the 3 sisters that has brown eyes and man, are they ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!! We were running late on this session, so I didn't get as many as I'd have liked to, but we did get some cute ones... Enjoy!

Fun at 4!

This cutie patootie's name is Genna Claire... Her mom and I are really great friends and she and her sister's are always my guinnea pigs. Genna Claire is the big sister to sweet little Addie Grace a couple of posts below... I don't even really need to tell you that if you have seen the other pics, b/c the resemblance is VERY noticeable.

Anyway, these were Genna Claire's 4th b'day portraits. She was such a great little model and it was so much fun to be able to give some direction and have a child actually do it, lol! She was a FANTASTIC model, so expect to see more of her soon, lol! Below are some of my fav's from her session :) Enjoy!

First Beach Session...

Living so close to the Gulf of Mexico definitely has its perks!!! I was lucky enough to get to shoot a friends' family beach pictures in August. Brooke has 2 of the most precious little boys and they were so much fun to shoot and so well behaved. Parker is the oldest, and you can see from the few pictures that I added that he's a ham!!! Cooper, the baby, just makes me want to give him a hug... so sweet and lovable! It was a HOT August evening when we shot these, so the sand was sticking to us! My knees were raw when we left b/c I don't use a tripod... I was laying down and moving on my knees trying to get that "perfect" shot... I was pretty pleased with these and lucky for me, so was my friend & her family!

Here are a few of my fav's from that session....
