Sooo many things I loved about this sweet newborn session at home in Raleigh…but one thing’s for sure, their cat stole the show! So much personality, so laid back, and not afraid of being in front of the camera – ha. Oh, and this mama – what a decorator. Their house was just beauuuuutifully decorated – loved looking at all her ideas. Sweet baby girl’s room was just gorgeous. These were taken a little bit before Christmas, so of course, we got a few with the tree in the background. I love photographs with the Christmas tree, and well, Christmas trees in general so I’m having a hard time taking ours down. (It’s not real so it’s okay) but I mean, how long is it ok to leave your Christmas tree out? I mean, at some point, it’s easier to just keep it out right – ha!

I think it was a little cold and rainy the day of their session so a nice day to stay inside and take some cozy photos with their sweet baby girl! Looking forward to seeing this sweet family again in 2015 – I just love photographing babies during their first year!

Oh, this little one will just steal your heart. I loved photographing his first year and seeing his sweet little personality develop. It was just so precious to see him interact with his Mommy and Daddy. It’s always so fun at one year sessions to see their little personalities show through. It was a beautiful fall evening- we just had perfect weather and you can see a few of the trees were changing colors. I loved the path that we used and the evening sun was just so pretty. We even stopped on the way back to play in the leaves. It’s always so fun in the fall to incorporate the leaves into sessions. (So much fun, right?!! I know my four year old LOVES jumping in the leaves!) Any way we can add fun into the session always makes the little ones happier, too! And this little one was just so adorable in the leaves – I love that there was one with his eyes closed, too – just so sweet.

I’m still working on blogging my 2014 sessions – there are just so many sweet family sessions to share! And the 2014 Image of the Year will be starting soon so if you booked a 2014 session, stay tuned to the blog and e-mail list (you can sign up up on the e-mail tab on my facebook page here) for more information!

What a sweet session at home this was – right before Christmas so we were able to capture some images with the tree in the background (I love using the Christmas tree for newborn sessions in December!) First of all, this little one’s hair, oh my, adoooorable. And he was just so full of smiles for this session. I’m amazed at how many sweet little newborn smiles he had. His mama had some beautiful blankets picked out for his photos and I just adore the texture in them. As I was going through these images, I couldn’t decide which I liked better – color or black and white. I just kept going back and forth so there’s so many of both in this blog post.

I’ve been traveling a lot for newborn sessions lately and this was one of those that was a bit of a drive. It’s so nice when you have a newborn to have someone come to your home to photograph your family. There’s no worrying if you forgot anything, all your snacks are close by, it’s ok if you’re not ready exactly on time (we just go with the baby’s schedule) no packing a diaper bag, no screaming baby in the car seat – just life as normal at home. And if you’re like me, I was absolutely exhausted the first few weeks (ok months) after I had both of my little ones so even thinking about getting in the car and trying to go somewhere was just exhausting. I block out 3-4 hours for newborn sessions, and we just take our time and go with baby’s schedule. I love, love, love newborn sessions at home and capturing these sweet moments.

This morning I’m headed out to a family session at home, and I was reminded of this sweet rainy day family session from this summer. (I have soo many sessions to blog so expect a lot of sessions coming your way this month!) This was baby brother’s 9 month session at home, and I have loved, loved, loved capturing his newborn portraits and first year. His big sister has been just so proud of him and loves taking care of him and reading to him. What I love about this session is that it was important to Mom to capture his favorite things at 9 months. We took a few outside and then headed inside for some photos with his toys, photo of him walking along the window (he looved looking out the window at 9 months) and reading together. I love these, and the time spent reading with your little one is just so precious and it’s nice to have someone capture that time. (Thank you Amy Kolodziej for capturing 9 month photos of Harrison and I reading together – such a treasure!) Looking forward to more sweet sessions at home in 2015!

Eek, it’s 2015! I cannot even believe it! (And you know, the baby just turned one, and I’m still boohooing over that!) I know I haven’t blogged my monthly goals in a while but it’s definitely one of my goals for 2015.  Coming up with goals for each month definitely helps me with staying on track and figuring out what to focus on. One goal that we’ve definitely been working on over here is cleaning and organizing and we’ve been switching some rooms around. Does anyone else get this feeling the day after Christmas that they need to clean/organize/change the whole house? My husband has been working so hard during his vacation time to complete so many projects around here. He’s outside in the garage right now looking at my prop collection…hahaha.

Goals for January

*One thing I’d really love to do this month is finish up blogging 2014. So many sweet family sessions are in the queue to be blogged, and I can’t wait to finish all of them!

*Send out all information for the 2014 Image of the Year Competition coming up soon. If you are a 2014 client and want to win a free 2015 session, make sure you’re signed up on the e-mail list for more info. (Click on the e-mail sign up tab on my facebook page here) There’s also a client event coming soon for 2015 clients! (February 2nd & 7th – for all clients who have booked a 2015 session by 01/15/2015)

*Edit little Harrison’s one year portraits. I try to stay on top of editing my personal images, but as your can imagine, it’s the busiest time of year for a birthday. Sweet little guy has been getting his one year molars and has had a tough time the past few weeks. Even Christmas Eve I got a lot of extra snuggles while little one was just not too happy about the teeth.

*It can’t be January without a running/eating right goal, right? I’d really like to keep working up to running 4 miles again. The fall came and I’ve just been stuck at around 2.25 miles. It’s also just so much harder to run indoors. Since Harrison has been born, I’ve mostly been running indoors because the thought of pushing both of them while running…I don’t know if I would make it!

What are your goals for January 2015?
