Ayden

Ayden was the sweetest, happiest little 3 month old I've ever photographed! When he wasn't smiling or looking right into the camera, he was asleep! Yep.....a 3 month old..... sound asleep for several set ups.....that just doesn't happen!!! He didn't have newborn pictures taken, so I'm very glad he decided to take a nap in the middle of his session!





Love this one with his gorgeous mom!


Peace.

Cadence

Cadence was a dream baby. She was so beautiful, cooperative, and a great sleeper for most of the session! I almost don't want to reveal this, but Cadence is 3 weeks old in these pictures! Please don't think it's usually this easy with a 3 week old baby, she was definitely an exception!






Love this shot with mom.




Can you guess what my favorite newborn prop is at the moment? I just love this baby cocoon! A very sweet woman in Canada makes these, but she's taking some time off for a few months. As soon as she returns I'm going to stock up on several different colors!

Belle

Beautiful Belle. At 2 weeks old she did not want to sleep for any pictures! Luckily she had a very patient and persistent mom and aunt who were willing to do anything to help me get the shot! It all paid off in the end and I think we got some great pictures!

Bentli Jo

This little peanut surprised her parents and arrived a few weeks early. She was beautiful and and perfect. I loved that I got to feed her and get her to fall asleep in my arms! I could have kept her, but for some reason her parents wanted to take her home with them. Darn!




Love the droopy mouth. She was out!

Irelyn

Sweet little Irelyn. She had her own agenda for the first half of the session, but we wore her out and she finally gave up and went to sleep! She sure is beautiful with tons of thick, black hair!







Love the smile.



Can you believe this head of hair?!

Elizabeth & Ethan

Look at this adorable brother and sister! I can't believe it's already been a year since I did Ethan's newborn pictures! I just love this family! This is the third time I've had the privilege of photographing Elizabeth and Ethan, and they are so sweet and fun to work with! Thanks for coming back so many times!





To look at these pictures you would never guess it, but Elizabeth is only 12 years old! She is the most beautiful little thing! I think she's destined for the fashion magazines! I could take pictures of her all day!




Her legs go on forever!!! Too long to even fit in the frame! Lucky girl.
















Ethan didn't like having his pictures taken quite as much as his big sister did, but for a one year old he cooperated really well (even if he didn't want to smile for me)! He's got the most beautiful eyes!
















And killer hair!!!

Madyson

Here's little Mady as a newborn.......



And here she is 7 months later.......
Miss Madyson has to be one of the most beautiful babies I've ever photographed! Seriously Alysha, I think you could finance her entire college education with that face of hers!









Oh my goodness.......











I'm thinking by the age of 5 she could not only have her college taken care of, but her retirement too!

Lucy

This precious baby girl belongs to my best friend Melissa (you can see her maternity pictures below). I'm so happy for her that she has such a great husband and now two perfect, beautiful, healthy children! This little one is going to be as gorgeous as her mama for sure!





Don't let these sleeping pictures fool you.....she was not an easy and willing little model!







Here's my newest hat again. Had to see what it looks like on the scale!





Laurie

Wow! I really tried to narrow the pictures down from this session but there were so many great ones that I had a really hard time! We ended up with over 80! Sorry Laurie, I hope that's not too overwhelming for you! (I've got to stop taking so many pictures!)




Look at this gorgeous family! They all had the most beautiful eyes too!



I could have posted 50 pictures of this adorable sweetie! She was a perfect model and sooooo photogenic! Oh, those eyes......
