Waiting on and Welcoming Baby Bennett

Yes, insanely enough I am just getting around to blogging some pictures from October and November. Craziness! But, I didn't want to let these beautiful sessions pass without showing you! In October I met up with Stephanie and Andrew. I had taken photos of them before, but was so excited to take maternity pictures! It was the most perfect fall day and Stephanie was literally glowing! 

Then, in November, they welcomed their precious son, Bennett. When I did his pictures he was so sweet! He was so content and it was such a fun session!

Also, I was totally amazed with how he held his head up. Umm...hello, my name is Bennett and I am only a few days old! 

Isn't Stephanie just the most beautiful mommy?

Andrew and Stephanie, thank you so much for letting me take these pictures for you! It's such a privilege!

The Whatley Family

I have known this sweet family for a long time! Melissa is a good friend and I was even privileged to be at the birth of this sweet baby boy! Ty was such an angel for these two month photos. We did some of him, but mom wanted several of she and Ty. We had a perfect afternoon taking pictures at their home and the place where she and Tyler were married. It has held so many memories for them! I was so happy to take these for you Melissa!

A little smile from sweet Ty

I love this! Aren't they a beautiful family? Thank you Melissa and Tyler! Your boy is so precious!

Johnson Family

I was so excited when this mom contacted me! I have seen pictures of this family for a long time and always thought they were just the cutest! These three are ALL BOY! We had so much fun during our shoot. It was a really hot September afternoon, and these boys did great considering the heat. Thank you so much for letting me take this Johnson family!

I love these pictures! So candid! So cute!They are such a cute family! Mom is a little outnumbered with boys, but she handles them so well! :)

Baby Sarah Lynn

I was so thrilled when Caitlyn asked me to take pictures of this precious little girl! The Waite's are new friends of ours, and they welcomed their little angel towards the end of August! She was a little over a month over when we took these and was a little fussy, but we were able to get some precious shots! P.S. This momma is an interior decorator....their house, her nursery.....nothing short of amazing! So beautiful!!

Daddy is wrapped for sure....

How beautiful is this mommy?Sarah Lynn is just beautiful! Thank you so much for letting me take these! I cannot wait for more in the future! :)

Scarlett (1 year)

This little girl...... Man oh man! She is such a doll! I was so excited to take her 1 year pictures! After taking her 6 month photos I was amazed by how much she had grown! Her mom and I have known each other for a while, and I am so thankful she entrusts me to take pictures of her sweet girl! Scarlett, you are just an angel!

Those eyes!! :)

She is such a big girl!Thank you again for the privilege of letting me take your girls photos!

Baby Sullivan

I cannot tell you how honored I was to take these pictures! Katherine has been my best friend since 6th grade! We have been through a whole lot together, and I cannot believe that she is now a mom of two! Sweet Sullivan was born early in September. He was the most perfect angel during the entire shoot! We moved him all around and he never fussed at all! Big sister Caroline was also very well-behaved! She is such a great big sister! Sullivan is such a great addition to this sweet family!

Today also happens to be a very special day.......It is his sweet mommy's birthday! Happy Birthday Katherine!! Love you dearly!

Sweetest....

I know. I know. I was dying! :)Blake and Katherine, we are so happy that Sullivan is here! He is so sweet and we love you guys so much!!

Sweet Sadie

This beautiful girl is my fourth niece! She was welcomed early in August by my brother and sister-in-law and two very proud big sisters! She is just the sweetest and we are all pretty smitten with her! She was as content as can be when I photographed her! We are SO thankful for her life and thankful for a healthy baby girl! Three girls in this family......my brother is quite outnumbered, but I don't think he minds too much! 

It doesn't get any cuter!! :)We love you Sadie Frances and we are so so so happy that you are here and apart of our crazy crew!

The Morris Girls

These sisters....they were the sweetest! It was SO HOT on this particular afternoon, but they were such great sports and really  loved being in front of the camera! Dad jumped in for a few as well and I am so glad! I had so much fun taking these!

The sweetest! :)

Silly sisters! :)

Blackman Family

A few weeks ago my brother, sister-in-law, and sweet nieces came into town! Lindsey and Eric are expecting their third little girl in just a few weeks and I had the privilege to take some family pictures and a  few maternity ones as well! I LOVE how they turned out! I am so thankful for them and so excited to be welcoming Baby Sadie very soon! :) Here are a few pictures from our shoot....

Love Charlotte's little face! 

Sweet sisters!

They love their daddy!!

He makes them all laugh..... a lot! :)

She is going to be such a wonderful big sister! 

How beautiful does she look? Seriously. So pretty!!

Pretty girls!!

We also took some pictures of the cousins together...

I mean....how fun is it going to be watching them all grow up together? 

Sweet Sam joined in the fun!Poor Sammy.....he is a little outnumbered!

I love these babies so much and LOVE being their aunt!!

Waiting on Baby Harper

I have known Rachel for a few years and she contacted me about shooting her sisters wedding earlier in the year! I was so excited to find out she wanted me to take maternity and newborn pictures for her in June. We took these on one of the hottest days and this mommy-to-be was such a trooper! Since then, she has given birth to a beautiful baby girl, who I will be sharing soon! :) Here are a few shots from her maternity pictures!

I loved these lily pads! They were huge!!

There is something so beautiful about a mom-to-be! There is so much sacrifice that goes into carrying a child for nine months! Women should be celebrated for all that they go through during those months. These images should be captured and remembered!  Congrats on your new baby girl! I can't wait to share more pictures of her very soon! :)
