Almost two weeks post surgery and feeling great! I drove today for the first time and am so glad to be feeling a little bit ‘back to normal’. I can’t wait to get back into photographing sessions! My next newborn baby girl session was welcomed into the world yesterday and I am soo excited for her family! I can’t wait to meet them and capture these precious memories! So what would a post be without some pictures… some past favorites of a baby girl that I have not shared with you yet. This is the little princess from all those awesome pull back shots I posted previously. Now you can see how they turned out!

Enjoy,

Proud to say that her Daddy serves in the United States Coast Guard. My hubby too served in the Coast Guard and this has such a special meaning to me and this family!

Her precious big brothers!

To me, there is nothing more beautiful than pregnancy. Growing a new life inside of you is simply amazing and beautiful. All moms should embrace that beauty and capture it forever. A great joy is coming for this family, I can’t wait for them!

A mother’s joy begins when new life is stirring inside… when a tiny heartbeat is heard for the very first time, and a playful kick reminds her that she is never alone.

As for me, I am doing well. Getting better and better each day. It’s all uphill from here. I can not wait to get back into shooting sessions again. I’ve been busy editing and catching up on my sessions leading up to the surgery. Placing orders and making deliveries. Thank you everyone for your well wishes!!

My wonderful hubby has set up my computer next to my ‘recovery’ chair so that I can get back to following up on messages, etc… Today was a bit rough but I am doing much better now.
And as I’ve been getting a lot of rest lately, I thought it would be fitting to share this sweet yawn from baby Lily…. too cute!

As most of my clients know, I underwent surgery Friday and am home safely today and doing well. For the next four weeks, I will be taking time off to recover and get well. I will be resuming sessions mid April and will be returning with a filled schedule. During this time I will be completing my client’s galleries and getting caught up in the office work. I will be monitoring my emails and phone calls so please fill free to continue to contact me with questions and inquiries. Thank you so much for your well wishes and support during this time. I will continue to post sneak peek images to the blog as to not lose any of my loyal blog followers. Perhaps even share a little bit about myself and my family.

Thank you so much!

A gorgeous mommy and a gorgeous family! I can not wait to meet this little guy in July! More from this session can be found on my facebook fan page Thank you so much for letting me be apart of such a special time in a growing family!
Two for a sneak peek… enjoy!

Finally, finally, finally got to meet with this amazing family! Baby Lily has been through so much in her first three weeks of life and I am so thankful that I was able to meet with her and her family to capture these precious memories… Now it is ALL ABOUT THE PINK Lily has two amazing big brothers that love her dearly. She is three weeks old today and still a little peanut. It took us a while to get her to sleep, but awake or sleepy, we captured some amazing moments that I am excited to share with her family!
About a month ago, I attending one of my best friend’s baby shower. The card I gave her was an Anne Geddes card with her famous and classic “newborn as a bouquet of flowers” and it was a random joke that I would take that picture of her baby girl, it was something I always wanted to do but didn’t have the props to execute it. Then when some of my blog readers came out of lurkdom, I got to chatting with a fellow photog and was even more inspired to do this shot as she had attempted it as well. A special thanks to my crafty mother-in-law who always comes to my rescue when I ask her to make me all sorts of things!!! We have fun together doing it and I learn a lot on how to be more crafty. We made the flower hat ourselves, purchased some tissue paper, and rafia… and these were the results!!! Something new… inspired by a classic shot by one of the greatest that will ever be, Anne Geddes!!!

Here is a sneak peek of Ms Lily in all her pink girly fun! Thank you soo much for welcoming me into your home D and S, it was a complete pleasure!

Her amazing big brothers, are they not absolutely the most charming little boys? so photogenic!

Logan was my very first ‘pea in a pod’ baby! He helped me start a wonderful concept and it has evolved so much over the last year. The pea pod is definitely one of my most requested images. I would love to have another baby just to be able to have this shot…. not really, but I wish I could have done with my babies. Anyhow, back to Logan… he is turning one!!!! I can’t believe how much he has grown. He is so completely precious and it was a complete blast seeing his family today!

Sneak peek, enjoy!

and a flash back to one year ago… my first pea pod baby! This set up has changed a lot, but how amazing my first model is turning a year old! Time flies!

Meet Jackson, 9 days old and just over 7 pounds. He looks just like his daddy too, but don’t we all at first? I love that! We had a wonderful time during his session and he was such a good baby for me! Here is a sneak peek of his session, enjoy!

Thanks R and A for letting me capture these memories!

This hammock, cocoon, and newboy cap all came from Anita on etsy, isn’t she amazing?

It is such a gift to watch my clients grow and to see what amazing little people they become. Charlie is now 6 months old and still cute as ever! I had a great time getting to see him again after so long! Charlie was a preemie when he was born at 32 weeks. He has grown up soo much but he is still so tiny wearing 0-3 size clothing now! He is doing absolutely amazing! When I photographed him as a newborn, he was all ready 5+ weeks old if I recall correctly!! Amazing… isn’t it? Here is a sneak peek, enjoy!

Do you remember him as a newborn? Such a little cutie pie!

I had the complete pleasure of meeting this amazing little guy. He was such a good baby and slept so peacefully. He was welcomed in to the world weighing 9 pounds 2 ounces!! He is the spitting image of his daddy and so easy going. Thank you so much E and T for letting me capture your precious baby boy! Congratulations to you, he is absolutely precious!
Love,
Amy
