Expecting Baby Long
Expecting Baby Townsley
Clara Jane
Clara Jane is the 4th baby girl I have photographed this Spring/Summer! So many sweet little girls this season and I have loved every minute with these precious newborns. Clara’s session was double the fun since she has a big sister, 3 year old, Evelyn. As you can imagine, baby Clara is receiving most of the attention at the moment and Evelyn was so good during the session. Mama planned small little gifts for Evelyn to open during the session which kept her very busy! :-) Miss Clara did not want to miss any part of her newborn session and was wide awake for most of it...I love the photo where her hand is up near her mouth, almost as if she is telling her Mama a secret!
Congratulations Hill family! Thank you for inviting me into your home to capture these precious moments!!
Brynn Elizabeth
Ben & Kali knew they wanted to find out the gender of their baby, but decided to plan a little something extra special for the reveal. During the holidays they picked out two outfits at Baby Gap, one for a little girl and one for a little boy. They gave both outfits along with a sealed envelope (from the ultrasound) to the cashier and asked them to gift-wrap the outfit that matched the "news" inside the envelope. They finished up their shopping, picked up their package, and placed it under the Christmas tree. On Christmas morning they opened the package together and learned that they were expecting a baby GIRL! Ben said it was the best Christmas ever! What a great idea!
Congratulations Ben & Kali! Your little Brynn Elizabeth is just perfect. Thank you for inviting me into your home to capture the beginning of her life. I wish you many blessings as a family of three!
Harper Grace
Remember all the darling handmade outfits from this maternity session in May? (If Grandma ever opens an Etsy shop, I will be the first in line!). Little Harper Grace arrived 15 days early with lots of white blonde hair and she is perfect! I think it's quite special to photograph a couple at their maternity session and then to capture them again as parents at their newborn session. There is this awesome transformation of "us" to "we" that I am able to witness, especially when photographing families in their homes. Thank you Mandi & Brandon for the opportunity to capture those early "we" moments with your precious baby girl. I know you will enjoy every minute with her. I am so excited for you to be a family of 3!
