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!
It’s not often that I get to photograph twins, and I’ve so enjoyed seeing how much Abby and Austin have grown since their newborn session last November. They have so much personality now, and they were just as sweet and cute as can be at their 1 year smash cake session! I couldn’t believe how much they enjoyed their cupcakes — especially Austin! We laughed because just minutes before the got to dig in, one of their parents made the comment that Abby would probably be the messy one… and boy, was it quite the opposite! By the time we finished, Austin looked like a blue Smurf. So funny! Here’s to another wonderful year filled with double the laughter, adventure, and joy!
