Yesterday I went to Marietta to photograph a beautiful one week old baby girl named Emma Grace.  I did her Mommy’s maternity portraits a few months ago so it was wonderful to see her again but this time as a Mother.  Emma was so cooperative and sometimes she would even pose herself.  Her Mom, Dad & Grandma were smiling so big and beaming with pride and already have so much love for their brand new baby girl.  Here are a few portraits from our session yesterday.  Welcome to the world Emma!

Little Miss Quinlan (isn’t that an awesome name) was a very good baby and she gave us plenty of sleepy shots and some awake ones too. I couldn’t have asked for more, she truly was a perfect little subject.

Thank you so much to Q’s Mom & Dad for having me over today for her very first portrait session and for being so sweet and kind to me. PS – those chocolate covered cookies are now on my shopping list and it’s all your fault!

Here are a few photos to share from our afternoon together…

I loved this little apothecary chest, I need one of these! Oh and check out how well she is swaddled, that’s courtesy of her Dad, he is the Yoda of swaddling.

Miss Q with her beautiful Mommy

Pretty in Pink…

With Mom & Dad and can I confess to how unfair it is to be that beautiful after you have just had a baby, goodness gracious, Mom was just glowing!

Another thing that I thought was the neatest thing ever is the story of how Shiloh’s Mom & Dad met. Her Dad was traveling and he sat next to his future father in law on the plane. When the father in law returned home he told his daughter (Shiloh’s Mommy) that he had just met her future husband. He urged her to write to him because he knew that this man was the one for her. So she wrote to him and the rest is history. Ok I hope the way I told the story makes sense, if it didn’t, just trust me when I say it’s a cool story and it sounds much better when they tell it!

And I hear that Shiloh is going to be getting a visit from her Grandparent’s very soon. I can guarantee they will fall in love with her just like I did.

So here are a couple of photos from this afternoon, here is Miss Shiloh, she’s so beautiful and at day six she was already so full of personality.

And will you look at how happy they are! They could not stop smiling, this is what life is all about.

I can’t wait to see her in a few months when she is sitting up! While I was there she decided she wanted to roll over, she was so proud of herself! A special thank you to Ryan’s Mommy & Daddy for welcoming me to their home and being so kind to me.

And how cute is her belly? I love it!

This morning I met beautiful baby girl Jordyn. What a sweetheart to photograph after my vacation. She’s one lucky girl, she has a big family and lots of friends who are so in love with her and I got a chance to meet some of them today. They were such a nice family.

This afternoon I met beautiful baby Avarie. Just like Jordyn, she was a total little sweetheart and my favorite thing was the funny little faces she would make when she was being burped. Her eyes were wide open and she was so alert. It was really sweet how her Mom & Dad were with her so patient and caring, she’s another lucky baby girl. I think she is a carbon copy of her Daddy, she looks just like him.

Thank you to both families for welcoming me in to your homes! I had a wonderful time meeting you and your baby girls.

Today I wanted to tell you a litle about something new and exciting that I’m offering with my portrait sessions. You are now able to create a portrait gift registry. I’ve already tested this out with a few clients and they loved it, so now it’s ready for everyone! It works just like a regular gift registry and people are able to add money to your account so that you can buy portraits. I think this is going to be really popular with all of my newborn client families. If you are interested in starting a registry for your portraits please let me know, or if you are interested in setting up a surprise registry for a friend, family member, co-worker just let me know and I will gladly set it up for you. Don’t forget you can always purchase a gift certificate as well, this is just another option that is very easy and fun to do.
