Check out this sweet little thing… with her big blue eyes and super squeezable cheeks. This is the 2nd time I’ve photographed her (actually the 3rd, if you count me capturing her mommy’s maternity images), and it just tickled me to see how big she has grown since I saw her last at 8 days old. She is the spitting image of her daddy, especially when she smiles. And she has the largest stash of bows I have ever seen! Here are a couple of quick favorites from today… K., I can’t wait for you to see the rest of them!

Baby Chase | Murfreesboro, TN Newborn Session

May 22, 2008 | Filed Under Newborn | 2 Comments 

I’ve been wanting to meet this precious one for a few weeks now, and we were finally able to connect this morning. This is Chase at 5 weeks old… and I think an appropriate word for him would be “chunkalicious”! ;  He was such a good boy for us this morning… he was sleeping so well that his mommy decided that she is going to get a beanbag for her house, b/c he was so content in mine during the session.

Capturing Chase’s newborn portraits was such an honor for me.  His mom was one of my son’s teachers at Project HELP, and played a crucial role in his success in overcoming the speech delay he had as a toddler. She is a very dear friend to me and has been such a blessing to our entire family. We love you, Miss A!

Here’s a tiny sneak peek of your little BIG man, hope you enjoy…

Only babies can make rolls like this look good. I’ve captured this sweet baby girl twice now… once as a newborn and again today at 5 months. With her full cheeks, bright eyes, adorable rolls and sweet grins, she is just as cute as ever.

I also had the pleasure today of capturing a few with big sister, Anneliese. She is destined to be on a stage of some sort - bubbly, talkative with lots of dramatic hand motions, energetic and, of course, beautiful. We slipped off to her bedroom while Mommy fed baby sister, and I got THIS:

Thanks again F. for having me over this morning to capture your two lovelies. I’m honored that I get to capture Coralyn’s first year in portraits.

I love my job!

Spring Cleaning

I decided to do a bit of housekeeping around the blog in the name of “spring cleaning”. How do you like the lighter, brighter look of the blog? Honestly, I don’t have too much to say tonight as I’m getting everything ready to visit a sweet little client in the morning - but I wanted to test everything out.

I’ll be back on Friday afternoon with a sneak peek… but in the meantime, how about a couple of photographs?

These beautiful young ladies are my cousins, Zoe and Lexie. I headed east on I-40 to capture them on the farm where their grandmother grew up. Would you have guessed that they are twins??

I also captured their baby cousin and her mama - I think this one is sweet:
