Happy Friday!  It has been a minute since I did a blog post – sorry about that!  I literally have so many sessions and so much preciousness to share with y’all though.  I had to prioritize the most important things while I was in the thick of the busiest times so, family things came first and then session & editing took over the rest of the time.  Blogging had to take a step back the past couple weeks.  I have SUCH incredible clients and I got to take so so so many great pictures for amazing people over the past couple months and I can’t wait for y’all to see more soon. 

Let me start this post by just saying how happy a session like this one makes me!  Carley & Nic are one of my wedding couples.  I got to take their engagement photos and then their wedding photos! It was such a fun time working with them throughout that entire year and now…now they are pregnant!!!  

Meet little Charlotte!!  This beautiful baby girl came into the world at 6 pounds 11 ounces and 19 1/4 inches long.  Charlotte’s mom & dad decided not to find out if she was a girl or a boy so they were totally surprised when they met her! Also, Chloe gained a little sister and built in best friend!  

I have a beautiful baby girl to brighten up your rainy Tuesday!!  I have been meaning to share this blog post for over a week now but our family life is super busy right now so I am finally getting the chance to put Amelia’s face on the blog.  She is a sweetheart!  

I told y’all I had some little babes to show off this week and here is another one!  Sweet Ava had her session a couple weeks ago.  Talk about a sweetheart!!! It felt like just yesterday I was taking maternity photos for Heather & Jeff.  Now, they are holding their beautiful baby girl in their arms. 

I can’t believe I am already blogging this!!  Clara is ONE already! If you have been following my work for any length of time, chances are you have seen this family.  As one of my first EVER clients, I have been taking pictures of them for 6 years.  Clara is the baby of the bunch and she turned a year old this month.

Happy Monday!!  I am thinking this is going to be the week of the newborns because I have a few that I need to show you all!  I hope you love cute, sleeping babies!!  There is nothing like a newborn baby.  They are one of the purest things you will ever hold.  I love coming to these sessions and getting to rock and snuggle these itty bitty beauties.  When I walked into Briana & Randy’s home last weekend, I went straight for little sleeping Jaxon so I could cuddle him!

I told you that newborns were taking over the blog the next few weeks and I was not lying!  Y’all…I am loving all these baby snuggles!  This newborn was extra special, too, because I have been photographing the Taylor family for years!  You may remember their family session last year involving the chickens?  This was their first time doing newborn photos in their home, though, and we had a great time! 

Since I started taking photos as more than just a hobby, I have had a few families stick with me through it all.  My “style” has changed for the better over the years and become so much more consistent, thank goodness, and these people have stayed by me through that.  They loved their photos years ago, but I am sure they love their photos even more within the past year or two.  This beautiful girl you see, Clara, is a part of one of those families!

The title of this post kinda says it all.  Yes, I waited until January to post about my family’s vacation because I totally forgot to blog it.  Whoops!  I definitely gave myself a pat of the back for even taking my camera out during our vacation, though, because I am notorious for not using my real camera and just using my phone.  While the iPhone has an excellent camera, nothing compares to real quality images right from my Nikon.
