Moving Forward...

So recently I had my first newborn photo shoot. I was nervous. Thoughts of failing ran through my head the entire drive over. This was a friend. A good friend. I've known her for three years at least. Why was I so nervous when she had so much confidence in me? I started setting up with only a few ideas in my head of what shots to get. I laid prop after prop and slowly it all started coming together. Mom & Dad were amazed at the results and loved her every portrait. I finished. I lived. It was great. That's it though. I can't ride this thrill forever. I can only move on to the next session.

My next session is a family photo shoot. Also friends. I've known mom of this girly bunch for four years. I was touched and honored when she asked me to do them for her. I'm looking forward to it. Sneek peeks to follow, of course!

It's a Girl!

She was such an angel.

Everyone loves a princess.

She opened her eyes for a only a moment. I was there to catch that sleepy look.

She was following the sound of Daddy's voice.

From the womb, she was fondly referred to as Pumpkin. That she was.

Recently a friend of mine, a very dear friend, allowed me the opportunity to take portraits of her little girl. It's been a while since I've held a baby that small. Her scent, the sound of her cooing, and the touch of her soft skin quickly too me back to when my girls were small. I spent a few hours with the family taking pictures of anything I thought they might like to cherish forever. I was very happy with the outcome. I've been getting some great feedback from her portraits and can not wait to do it again! I've already been told I am going to be taking more in just a few weeks when her new holiday hats arrive! So here are Princess E's portraits.

Keep watching. There will be more sneak peeks to come!
