twin newborn shoot - brooks + hadley!

I've been dying to post these images for a while now!  Some of the pictures were used for a birth announcement so I was holding off on posting them until the announcement went out.  Well, the announcement has been out for a while and I am finally posting them!  

 Unfortunately, when my twins came home from the NICU, I didn't do a good job of photographing them.  I was sleep deprived and having a hard time brushing my teeth.  I couldn't even think straight enough to take some decent pictures.  Thankfully, my sister-in-law came to the rescue and took some newborn pictures for us.  But, I was sad to miss the opportunity to photograph newborn twins.  Well, recently I got the opportunity when my sweet nephew and niece were born (different sister-in-law:))!

Enjoy!  

(This last photo was a snapshot at the end of our session.  I think it was Katie's favorite because it exemplifies their personalities perfectly!  Hadley is freaking out and Brooks is thinking, "Now you see what I've had to deal with in-utero for the last 9 months")

Newborn Session - Miss Carmen

Back in February I got to take April's maternity pictures, then a couple of weeks ago I was able to spend a few hours with Miss Carmen.  She was six days old for her session.  She was all kinds of squishy and lovable.  Definitely a perk of my job :)  Enjoy the sneak peek!

boger family - sneak peek!

 I got to spend some time with the Boger family about a week ago.  Miss Lily was five days old and as squishy and cuddly as you can get!  Her sisters, Brooke and Savannah, were quite smitten with their new sister.  

Newborn shoots are quickly becoming one of my favorites.  I love visiting families just home from the hospital.  I get to capture them in their new normal.  The real life stuff.  All that matters in this time is family.  Everything else is pushed to the side and time moves slowly.  It's a precious time and I so enjoy entering into it with people.  Not to mention, newborns smell so sweet.  So that definitely makes it fun!

newborn sneak peek - david aaron

I got the opportunity to take pictures of sweet David Aaron last week!  I took pictures of his sweet sister, Claudia, almost two years ago.  It's hard to believe it's been that long.

 David Aaaron was so sweet and lovable.  I got to see Lindsey the day after she had David Aaron and she was already so in love.  She told me how sweet it was to have a second baby.  That she was captivated the second she held him in her arms.  It was so awesome to hear her talk about him.

I'm so happy for this little family of four.  I know they are in hog heaven!

newborn sneak peek - haddie jo!

After I photographed Haddie Jo's arrival, I got to spend a little time with the whole family!  It was such a treat.  This family is one of my favorites.  Meg and Brett are such intentional parents.  I have watched them parent for the last two and a half years and have learned so much from them!  

Haddie Jo is precious and Karis is clearly in love with her little sister!  

I am so excited for this new family of four!

sneak peek of miss katie!

I got the opportunity to take Miss Katie's newborn pictures a few weeks ago.  She is so precious and I so enjoyed spending the afternoon with her and her wonderful parents!  This is Josh and Alissa's first and they are completely smitten with her.  It was so much fun being able to capture their love for this sweet girl.
