. BRAND NEW .

For me – there is nothing like a brand new baby! All I have ever wanted to be is a momma – and that is finally happening! I have been watching Bringing Home Baby and A Baby Story like it’s my job lately – which has just stirred my passion for photography more and more!

When I think about that moment when our child enters the world – I start to panic. Not for the reasons that you would normally think though! The photographer in me thinks about all the moments that I want captured on film forever that I won’t be able to get! I am so thankful for a fellow photographer who will be with us during those moments – to capture what I can’t.

Just like the . BECOMING YOU WHO ARE . sessions – I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and want to be able to capture those moments for the families that want them! It’s something that I would have always offered but never really advertised. Lots of women would prefer that the camera is very far away during those moments – and there are those that want nothing more than to have it all on film! Make sure to clear the session with your hospital and doctor – some places won’t allow it!

The thing about . BRAND NEW . sessions is that they are unexpected – for the most part! You never know when labor will hit – whether 3 AM or 3 PM!

I haven’t done a birth session yet – but am looking forward to it so much!

These shots are of a miracle and her momma! She isn’t even 24 hours old in these photos – such a precious time to be able to capture! I love stopping by the hospital to see friends with their new babies – and of course I have to bring my camera!

. BRAND NEW .

Since I haven’t done a . BRAND NEW . session yet – the first one to book will receive a 30 page album of the experience!

Thank you again to all of you that support me. pray for me. encourage me. love me.

. BRAND NEW . BECOMING WHO YOU ARE . BE YOURSELF . for all those moments in your life!

I met Nicole and Dustin over FACEBOOK last year. We did their maternity photos and had such a fun time!

When little *E* came – we did his newborn and three month photos – I can hardly believe that it’s time for his SIX month session!

He is such a RIDICULOUS cutie – I can’t even stand it!

I met James during one of the best summers of my life – the summer of 2000! It was filled with drive-ins, mini-golf, video games, late LATE nights, and so many memories!

James and Laura were also the second wedding I ever shot – and now I am photographing their little miracle!
