I’m always a sucker for a baby name with a special meaning, and John Michael’s is no exception, as he was named after his mom’s two brothers. He had a head full of dark hair just like his beautiful mama and was such a sweet boy. I’ve been on a kick with almost all baby girl newborn sessions recently, so it was fun to work with a little guy this time!
“Sweet Baby Raine…” Her mom Christy sang this to the tune of “Sweet Caroline” as she soothed her darling little girl during our newborn session in December, and I couldn’t get it out of my head when I left! 🙂 I have had the pleasure of becoming friends with Christy and Taylor through my brother and sister-in-law, and they are just the sweetest couple. Raine, with her full head of hair, was an absolute doll, and her nursery was something any baby would be happy to call their own. She is one loved, cherished little girl, and I look forward to watching her grow during her first year!
Baby Amelia joined the R Family in mid-November, and her big sister and brother couldn’t have been more excited! I’ve had the pleasure of photographing this growing family over the past couple years, so it was extra special to be invited into their home to capture these special moments with their newest addition. Amelia was a perfect, sleeping angel, and I just couldn’t get over how tiny she was. This was the first newborn session I’d done since having my own baby girl, so it was even more sweet! I look forward to seeing Miss Amelia grow!
Splish splash… I couldn’t resist photographing Leighton taking a bath! We are about to start renovating our master bathroom, which includes replacing our soaking tub with a large glass shower (eek — so very excited about this!). We haven’t ever bathed Leighton in this tub, but the room has great natural light, and I had been picturing this sweet scene in my mind for months. So before my husband takes a sledgehammer to our bathroom, we gave our sweet girl an afternoon bubble bath, complete with rubber duckies. I’m so excited to offer this option to my clients for their little ones’ mini milestone sessions this year, too!
