So if you see me out and about, chances are I will have my Kelly Moore bag with me.

   Well, I pretty much take it everywhere. It is awesome – seriously.  I have the classic bag in grey, and it was a gift from two dear friends. If you are like me and take 300 pictures of your child at the library, music class, the park, wherever, then this bag is totally for you. It is a really pretty bag with a ton of space – mine usually has a camera, flash, an extra lens if needed, diapers, and a snack for little man. I take it shopping, out to eat, and I may have had it at church this morning. The funny thing is – Michael laughs at me because I used to be embarrassed when he would take his camera to basketball games and take pictures. I am now the  mom on the front row with a memory card full of 1,000 pictures in about five minutes.

love, love, love my kelly moore bag!

  • I am on the hunt for a good camera bag. I’ve considered the Epiphane but it looked a bit – well, enormous! Is this bag quite big? I need it to function much in the same way you use yours – a diaper bag/camera bag – but don’t want it to be gigantic. What do you think about the size in day to day life, getting around with a kiddo in tow? Thanks!ReplyCancel

Such beautiful light on such a rainy day!

   Isn’t he the cutest? Oh, he just loves to color. I just have to make sure the artwork stays on the paper and not on the walls.

How sweet is this little one! Such a doll! Her parents were very prepared for this session and had a few blankets and props that really fit their style. The bowl was an heirloom which made it so special to have pictures of little Evelyn in the bowl. Their dining room had such beautiful light and we got so many pretty pictures during this session. The house was also warm – which is important for a newborn session. We were able to get so many pictures because little Evelyn was happy and content and dreaming away.Here are several favorites. (You can see more pictures from this session here and here.)

This is my favorite picture from this week –

   Those first days with your little one are just so incredible. The emotions and just the love that fills your heart

   is overwhelming. I love capturing these sweet moments.

   The first days after Owen was born I just sobbed – thinking, wow, this is how much my parents love me and even more

   Wow, this is just a glimpse into how much God loves me.

   The first moment I held him changed my life. I was so blessed to have Michael and a dear friend with me

   who took pictures of the incredible moment that I held my son for the first time.

   I tell my friends who are pregnant when they moan, when they worry about birth – that if I had had

   even a glimmer of what it was going to be like to hold him, I wouldn’t have even groaned in the

   slightest.

   The birth of a little one is such a miracle. I am thankful to capture these sweet days.

  • Let me just say firstly that I think photographing sessions must be a real challenge – the whole prospect overwhelms me. Secondly, the notion of photographing newborns in some ways, from the general public seems to appear ‘easy’ because they’re so cute & innocent. I’ve seen some very sweet & quite lovely photos of newborns and their mothers over the last few months with joining in these challenges, but you have simply nailed this completely – everything about this is so beautiful and emotive. And I love that the little one is swaddled up – it really suits the photo. Well done.ReplyCancel

  • Very beautifulReplyCancel
