Families & Little Ones

Baby Baker, Newborn Session

Oh my goodness, this family needs to be on the cover of a magazine! How gorgeous are they?! It was so hard to narrow the pictures down to just a few for this blog post— I could have chosen another ten to include for you all to see. :)

Heaven must have known these two little girls needed a baby brother, because that is what they were given. Hadley and Leighton were just smitten with their sweet new sibling, and all they wanted to do was love on him and kiss him. We struggled to get a few pictures of the girls looking at the camera, because they didn’t want to take their eyes off baby Baker. I can’t say that I blame them! :) He was finally home after a little stay in the hospital, and their family was all together and loving it. Nothing to do but cuddle close, smile sweetly, and let brother sleep.

Welcome to the world baby Baker!

Baby Merritt, Newborn Session

Little Merritt’s mom and dad had a big year last year— from extensive home renovations and out-of-state work trips, to preparing for their sweet baby boy to be born. Merritt made his arrival just in time for Christmas. I think he heard there were pretty lights to see and festive songs to hear and he wanted to experience all of it. :) And though I am sure he had plenty of gifts under the tree, of course his parents’ favorite was him!
When his belly was fully and after lots of back pats, Merritt drifted off to sleep and we were able to get some sweet, sweet pictures of him all cozy and dreamy. You can tell his parents just adore him, and I think he feels the same about them, too. :) I’m so excited to see him again soon and see how much he has grown since this session! I am anxious to see if his hair is going to be red like his dad’s, or if it has turned out more like his momma’s. (No spoilers, if you know this family! haha)

Welcome to the world, baby Merritt!

Baby Conley Jane, Three Month Session

Little Conley Jane did such a good job at her three month session! She wasn’t quite excited about belly time just yet, but she gave us lots of sweet expressions and showed off her new hand and feet coordination skills. :) She fell asleep before I got there so we let her get a little bit of her nap out in the sweet bassinet that had. It’s not everyday I get to photograph a sleeping baby at a three-month-old session! She woke up after a few minutes and stayed awake long enough to see what was going on, before falling back to sleep on her mom and dad for the parent shots. I think she likes cuddling with them a little bit. :) Then she awoke and was up for good, and gave us some sweet baby smiles and giggles! She is just the cutest little thing. It’s crazy how fast she has grown from the newborn session, and we still have a few more milestones to go before her one year photos!
