Last fall, I met this little jewel named Ellie. While she is a big, happy five month old baby at this point, I'm thrilled to go back to her first days at home and share this newborn session with you.

This little champ fell asleep with a full belly and hardly made a peep the whole time I was there! You are as sweet as your parents little girl - thanks for letting me celebrate your life!

Jury's still out on whether or not she'll be a Steelers fan. ;)

Congratulations Alex and Lindsay! So happy to meet your baby girl. xo

Expecting your own little peanut! Contact me to talk about a newborn session.

Christmas Baby (Leonard)

Baby Isaiah was born just a few days before Christmas, and I got to meet up with him when he was still just a little peanut and document this new family of three. Ahem, I mean, four. Duke (the dog) is definitely a part of this crew. :)

These few images were snuck in before we were even set up. So often the unplanned end up being favorites, don't you agree. Big dad, little baby. Love.

Although they were the ones who had just given birth and were adjusting to a new lifestyle as parents, they talked as though I was the guest of honor when I arrived. They are as sweet and selfless as ever and think the other is more lovely as a parent.

They are as wonderful as they look! Enjoy highlights from sweet Isaiah's first photo session, if you'd like.

Beautiful, mama.

Baby Maise

"I'm so glad we got them done when she was little, " Kristen said. They had just seen the images from their little girl's newborn session and their baby was now four weeks old.

Yes, Maise was still only four weeks old. I found myself nodding in agreement since all newborns change in the 2-3 weeks between photographing them and delivering images. A split second later I realized how funny the statement sounded. She's still so tiny...but it's so true!

These sessions are extra special because things change so fast. I love photographing a family while they are still in that happy survival stage. Everything is hard and awesome and for a few weeks, time doesn't really matter and the outside world is largely forgotten.

But, you're here for the pictures, right? :) It was a privilege to meet this lovely, talented (He's in law; she's in medicine), honest (They talked as though I wasn't there. I loved it.) pair. Little Maise is going to be one heck a of a girl.

Actually, she is already! Enjoy this adorable little face!

Congratulations K+P! So happy to meet you and your sweet little bundle!

Oh Adeline

This family. They laugh easily together, drag an ottoman into the nursery during feedings so they can hang out together while their little one snacks, and see their differences as strengths. "He's numbers and I'm words", Christine says. Love it.

But what you really came to see: how adorable is that little face? Before I tell you more about how wonderful they all are, just look at a few of these images.

This little angel baby was hanging (literally!) with her dad for the images above . . . then, just drifted off to sleep. Just like that! Later, she was laughing with her beautiful mama on the bed one minute . . . and drifted off to sleep the next. She is already taking after her easygoing parents.

The inspiration for her name comes from Stephen Kellogg's song, "Oh Adeline". "I'm gonna need a second heart for all this love", the song plays, and well, that's just about perfect isn't it?

Dan and Christine joked and chatted in down times said they frequently pulled a stool into Adeline's nursery so they could hang out together while one of them was feeding their baby girl. Sweet, right?
