If you’re like me, I was sooooo excited to announce when we were expecting a little one – just so much fun! And I love these new Maternity announcements – just could not wait to share them! I love these customizable new templates for sharing the news on social media or even printing on a card to send in the mail. These could even be customized for a gender reveal. (I was really excited about sharing the gender both times, too!)

One thing I love about my job is being one of the first to find out when someone is expecting. I love, love, love, photographing maternity and newborn sessions and creating lifetime memories and custom art for your home. Contact me for more information about custom announcements! And if you’re thinking of booking a newborn session this spring or summer, contact me soon! I can only take a limited number of sessions each month since these are unpredictable and we never know just when the baby is going to be born. I like to leave a lot of availability for planning sweet newborn sessions at home.

Am I the only person that didn’t have a clue that it was going to snow today? I was thinking Wednesday maybe Thursday we were going to get flurries for like ten minutes, no big deal. I really had no clue it was going to be a winter wonderland again. I mean, it snowed alllll day. I think every time I looked out the window it was snowing. Last week was the first round of snow for this year – I had to find some snow bibs for both boys (found some last minute on one of the online yard sales for Harrison – yay!) I still haven’t bought a sled (the one below was borrowed from a neighbor) If you’re reading this and you’re not from North Carolina, we just really don’t get snow all that often. And, it usually snows for ten minutes and doesn’t stick. Very rarely do we have a whole week of the kids missing school and snow or ice covering the ground. (And we really usually get more ice than snow) It’s only been a few days since the last snow and I only got to fit in two sessions (one in the studio and one newborn) before this new round of snow (more rescheduling after this snow melts)

These are from last week – we took like five seconds of photos in the snow with our boys (because it’s really just that rare – I had to capture a few images of us with them) I took Owen out sledding when Harrison was napping, and Michael was working from home, and then the second day both boys went out to play in the snow/ice but not for long because it’s just sooo cold. Indoor days mean hot chocolate, movies, crafts (Owen broke out the leftover pipe cleaners from Valentine’s Day) organizational projects, and cooking creatively without having to go to the store. (We didn’t get the run to the store for bread and milk memo yesterday – ha!)  It was snowing so much today we still haven’t ventured out. Are we getting more snow tomorrow and Thursday?!?

Oh, this little guy is just PRECIOUS. He was happy to be wide awake at his newborn portraits, and at this three month session, he was perfectly content to take a nap (and also wake up for a few happy images with his Nana and Poppie.) Such a sweet afternoon with their first grandchild. According to Nana, getting to spend any time totally focused on our grandson is the best time ever – having this captured on film is priceless! This session was a special day planned by little Zach’s mama and his Nana was treated to hair and makeup before the session. (Having your hair and make up done for photos is just the best!) Love the sweet fist bump with his Poppie, and all of the sweet moments of the three of them. I can’t even imagine the love that you feel for a grandchild. This little one’s Nana said the first time they saw him there was disbelief and amazement followed by unbelievable love – that they can’t keep from smiling whenever they see him. What a gift he is to this sweet family and love every single one of these images!

I also got to see this little one at a special event just for 2015 clients! Our next Spring event has sold out but if you want to be on the waiting list or for more information sign up here. (And you can also sign up for the e-mail list to be the first to know about exclusive client events and specials!)

Newborns usually direct their sessions – we really just go with the baby – when they need to eat, be rocked, etc. And this little guy, he was awake for a little bit during the family portraits and then he just dreamed away. He slept and slept and the sweet moments we were able to capture with his family – just precious. It is just so nice to have photographs taken at home when you have a newborn. You are pretty tired after you have a baby, right? (Okay, maybe exhausted!) Also, it’s just so special to take photos of your baby with your things in your home. This mama had some adorable things picked out for her baby boy – love the wrap, the blanket, and the overall colors she chose. When you have a session at home, the session reflects your style perfectly and we are able to create custom art that matches your home.  It’s also nice to have a newborn session at home because you really don’t feel like going anywhere after you have a new baby – just trying to pack a diaper bag in those first days was overwhelming to me! Who can relate? Trying to get ready is challenging, especially if you have older siblings. Having a session at home  is perfect for those sweet first days snuggling your baby.

I got to spend Thursday with my nieces, which was just so much fun. My mama helped me coordinate and plan a special morning the kids with lots of treast. (which, well, they all mostly ate three bites except Harrison) They also had some Valentine’s crafts to work on, and boy, did they love those. They had the crafts all over the table, chairs, and craft supplies strewn all over the floor. They ended up making each other some super cute Valentines which was really sweet. They also had fun with the huge balloons…(so much fun that one even got stuck in the ceiling fan – while it was going. My mom is awesome – I’m still amazed she was able to get it down.) And the fake candy lips were also a hit – too cute! My nieces don’t live close so it’s always so great when we get to see them, and I know Owen and Harrison just love them to pieces. Harrison often takes my mom’s Christmas card of the four of them off of the refrigerator and just crawls around the house with it giggling. (yes – he still crawls. Owen didn’t walk until he weas 15 months, and I’m wondering if it will be the same for Harrison) Happy Valentine’s Day – mine will be filled with lots of chocolate!

Today is also my mom’s birthday – so thankful for her. She is my best friend, the best listener, definitely someone that will make you laugh, and my biggest encourager. This photo was from my Senior year in college – our trip to Spain during Spring Break. So special that we got to do that together. Happy Birthday, Mom! I love you!
