Callie & Co. | Murfreesboro, TN Baby Session

I have been wanting to get my hands on this little babe for a while… and finally got my chance last week. Callie is the newest member of one of my favorite families. She is the happiest baby I’ve ever been around. AND she’s fallen asleep while I’ve held her on two different occasions, so I think that officially trumps her dad (gotcha, J!). I love her big blue eyes, her chubby little rolls, and her little blonde spot right up front. She is a total doll baby!

Ironically, it was big sister Sydney who was working the camera the most during my visit. This sweet girl completely captures my heart… I just love her. She brought out her princess stuff, her hair accessories… she even fixed MY hair.

And I can’t leave out big brother Noah - he is 100% all boy and keeps me up to date on the latest boy stuff. Star Wars? Check. Speed Racer? That too. I love how much he loves his toys. Not only that, both he and Sydney are completely smitten with baby Callie.

Simply Radiant | Murfreesboro, TN Maternity Session

This beautiful mother-to-be was such a joy to photograph today. I believe what they say about expectant mothers having a glow about them… at almost 37 weeks, Denisha is simply radiant. She is similar to many women, in that she originally didn’t want to be in front of the camera for a session like this. However, her mother convinced her that someday she will treasure these images and be glad that she captured the moment.

I have to admit that even though I always have and always will cringe at being in front of the camera, I do wish that I had something beyond a couple of snapshots to show the changes my body went through during my pregnancy. To me, the beauty in these types of images is not defined by what size you are or how you look… the beauty is the miracle of a new life within, that could only be crafted by the hands of God.

Beautiful Baby Boy | Murfreesboro, TN Newborn Session

This is sweet little Jonah at the ripe age of 14 days old. He is one of the newest (and cutest!) additions to our church family and I was tickled pink (or should I say blue??) when mom called and asked me capture his newborn portraits. Jonah did a great job putting up with all the fuss, and I was able to capture some beautiful images. Here are just a couple of my favorites:

Living Doll | Murfreesboro, TN Baby Session

This was my 3rd session with sweet little Coralyn… hard to believe that she is now 9 months old. She has undoubtedly one of the most beautiful complexions I’ve ever seen; reminds me of the flawlessness of a porcelain doll’s skin. And I’m sure I don’t have to point out those baby blues… or those sweet little rolls that I love so much! Here’s a tiny sneak peek from our playdate:

Coralyn, I can’t wait to see you in 3 more months! It is an honor to capture the miracle of your first year. Love ~ Miss Courtney
