One more of Mason

It was a tad chilly to do bare-bottom pics on our outdoor shoot, so Courtney, Ryan, and Mason came over to take a few.

Just had to share the cuteness... all 5lbs 13oz of it :)

New Arrival: Mason Ford!

Oh my goodness the cuteness...

Courtney and Ryan recently welcomed their first baby, beautiful boy Mason into the world!  I was SO excited when Courtney asked me to take newborn pics for them.  First, I hadn't met Mason yet.  Second, I am in the snap-count of this pregnancy and was craving some itty bitty baby time. :)

Mason is just 9 days old in these pictures we took last night.  He's so tiny!  So cute!  So sweet... I couldn't get enough.

Here are a few of my favorites - congratulations Ryan and Courtney!

Louella : 3 months

I just love little girls.  I know I'm probably partial because I have a daughter... but I tell ya, there's just something about little girls!!

Neely and her husband Kevin had a beautiful baby girl in May - Louella.  Now she's 3 months old and I am honored they chose me to shoot their pictures!  Neely is the sister of a bride who's wedding I shot last year, so thanks for the connection, Laura! :)

Louella came with so many cute outfits, as well as a handmade cradle that was made for her mommy when she was a baby. :) Throughout the shoot she was so calm and happy!  She did amazing!  It was really humid, but she took it like a champ.  Towards the end she got really sleepy (as you'll see), then cashed out... which made for some a-dor-a-ble pics.

It was really hard to pick favorites from this session... but here are a few!  Congrats Neely and Kevin - Louella is beautiful and sweet. :)

Liam : 9 months

I feel like I haven't posted in forever!  With summer travels and craziness (as well as the HEAT), I didn't have a shoot for a while.  I was so ready to jump back in... and with one of my faves - Liam!

Liam has changed SO much in the last three months!  He seems like such a big boy with his crawling and standing and stuff. :)  We did a late evening shoot to try to avoid the heat, and he did great!  He was happy and curious, which made for some fun pics.

Here are a few of my favorites from last night:

Alli & Carson

You might remember Alli from this post last fall.  This time we did a session with just Alli and Carson.  Austin is in the military and is away right now.  Though we wish Austin could have joined us, this was a fun session because we got pictures to send him for Father's Day! :)

In the midst of the humidty, we had a decent evening - and Carson did AWESOME! :) We played around downtown (climbing lots of steps), then went to a playground to finish up. :)

Here are some of my faves from last night!

Liam : 6 months

My how time flies!!  It's hard to believe that Liam is already 6 months old!  You can see his newborn pics here and his 3 month pics here.  He sits up like a pro, can push up on to his hands and knees (might have a crawler on your hands soon, Lindsay!), eats solids, and still has the sweetest smile ever.

We ventured out to the park yesterday - we had to wake Liam from his nap, but he didn't seem to mind!  We braved the heat, humidity, crowds, and fish smell to get these pics - here are a few of my favorites!

August Daniel has arrived!!

In my last post, you saw Amanda and Adam with their precious one still inside Amanda's belly. :)

Well, it's a BOY!

August Daniel was born this morning and I had the honor of seeing him on his birthday.  Amanda and Adam were glowing - and they had every right to be!  August is a beautiful baby!  He didn't open his eyes for me, but we still got some sweet pictures of him and his mommy and daddy.

Amanda and Adam, thank you so much for sharing August's birth day with me!  Congratulations - you will be amazing parents!!  I hope you enjoy this sneak peek of your pictures!
