Introducing the Newest Member to the “G” Family

Posted in Babies, Newborns

Have you met Mr. D yet? I know that I say that every newborn is the cutest baby I have ever had the pleasure of photography, and I’ll say it again… isn’t he THE cutest!?! He looks like such a little man but in a tiny 7lb newborn baby body. Here he is wide awake wondering what this strange woman was doing. He is already quite the thinker…

… but don’t worry I was able to get him to sleep for some dreamy newborn photos! Doesn’t he have the cutest little mouth and lips?

Here he’s thinking “Hey lady, can you stop messing with me already?” But in the end I one and was able to get some yummy curled up baby cuteness.

Sometimes I feel like this too, but I don’t look half as cute crying (I can say this is cute because it wasn’t at 3 am)

Don’t worry, he only cried for one second and then he was snuggled warmly in his mommy’s arms. I hope you enjoyed this sneak peak “G” family. I could not be happier for you and your new baby boy. You guys are already incredible parents!

Beautiful Maternity Session {G Family}

Posted in Babies, Families, Newborns, Uncategorized

I had the pleasure of taking maternity photos for a wonderful family. They are so excited about the arrival of the newest addition to their family {Mr. Dominic}. He is such a lucky little baby to be so loved already…he’ll be up on the blog soon.

This maternity session was so much fun… I had the pleasure of getting to do all sorts of silly poses. Laying on the floor, climbing through fields, and driving all around town. The mommy-to-be was game for anything.

Isn’t this mommy-to-be DROP dead gorgeous?!? She had a ton of fans during this session. People were walking by and asking if she was modeling for a magazine. She even had one man reference the famous Demi Moore shoot

LOL. This made me laugh, what pregnant woman doesn’t miss seeing what her feet look like?

I am so excited for the G Family and their newest addition. I can’t wait to hear all of the wonderful stories and the updates of Dominic growing up. They are truly blessed!

Miss Averi … turns ONE!

Posted in Babies, Families, Kids, Uncategorized

You may recognize this sweet little girl Averi from her newborn photo (I can’t believe she is one already):

She has grown so much in the last year. Miss Averi is SO beautiful… and spunky. She reminds me a lot of my little Reagan when she was that age. I had so much fun chatting with Averi’s mommy about our girls. Comparing notes and wondering how we are going to get through the teenage years, LOL. Here is the little model in the making striking a pose:

She has the most beautiful brown eyes and makes the cutest facial expressions. Doesn’t she just melt your heart?

This one is one of my favorites. You can really see the special outfit and shoe’s on Averi. She is wearing her Grandma’s 1st birthday outfit and her shoes. Isn’t that the sweetest thing ever!?!

Stay Tuned … because I’ll be posting some more photos from our cake smashing session shortly:)

Ben, Luke & Reagan

Posted in Babies, Families, Kids, Uncategorized

Reagan is so blessed to have so many wonderful cousins in her life. Right now the count is at 8 (… with another cousin on the way due in February 2012 – Congrats Summer& Nate!) Being able to capture the beauty of them together in while they are all young and sweet has been such a blessing. A couple of days ago I had the pleasure of photographing Luke Benjamin & Reagan – the three cousin’s on the Womack side of the family.

Here our my super cute nephews Luke & Benjamin. Aren’t these brothers just the cutest?

Oh. my. gosh. I L-O-V-E this next one… especially the two little teeth peeking out on Benjamin. This just shows how much Luke loves his little brother!

Luke is 3 1/2 years old, Reagan is 15 months and Ben is 10 months. What a miracle that I was able to get so many wonderful shots of them ALL looking at the camera at the same time (well mostly all) while not moving, kicking, screaming or crying, LOL.

Luke… the oldest was so helpful. Here you can see him explaining, ”if we all look at the camera and smile we get ice cream!”

Now THAT is my kind of motivation!

Here are some of my youngest nephew Benjamin. Isn’t he soooo stinkin’ cute? I love just love everything about him, especially his chunky little legs. Just look at those ankle rolls…
