Last fall, when I first made the announcement that I would be resuming my photography business, I got a message from Mary…

“I’m so happy and excited for you getting back into photography! Please keep me posted on how everything works. Would love for you to do another newborn session for us in March :)”

and my response…

“OH. MY. GOSH!!!! So excited for y’all!”

I can’t even explain how affirming it is to me as a newborn photographer when amazing clients come back to me when they have another baby. Corrine was such a joy to photograph during her first year and some of my all time favorite photos came from her first year baby package sessions. I have no doubt that I will feel the same way after Rhett’s first year too.

Another reason I love working with this family is their HOUSE! Mary has such great taste when it comes to putting together nurseries. I know I gushed over every detail of Corrine’s nursery when I first saw it.  I was anxious to see Rhett’s nursery since they weren’t finding out the gender ahead of time. Let me just tell you, it is PERFECT. I love all the tones that were used and the sweet animal prints above the crib! I want them for my own house! This sweet gender neutral nursery just screams to be in a magazine somewhere. It’s just so cozy and warm.

During this session, it was also important that we took time to take some photos of just Corrine. Lifestyle newborn sessions are a great time to also get updated photos of the big kids too! I just love the playful photos that we were able to get. Corrine’s bedroom gets a ton of natural light which makes for some beautiful and timeless images. If you love the idea of a lifestyle newborn photography session, please make sure that your photographer is going to plan on getting other special family photos too.

Catherine – you were an angel for our session! I’m so so glad that we got to meet!

i just love it when clients choose me over and over again to photograph their family.  i have been the photographer for this family since their oldest was 3 months old! i was just over-the-moon excited when they shared that their family would be expanding and i would get to play a part in that (see it here)

time has just flown by and now it’s lily’s 4 month session.  we knew that we wanted to recreate this image from big sister’s 3 month session with lily since i still owned that same quilt and mom still had that same bow.  she’s planning on doing a gallery wall and it’s going to look so cute when it’s done.

for this session, mom also wanted to do a little outdoor bubble bath fun and i just happened to have the most perfect galvanized tub! lily was just a little too small for it though so we didn’t get very many with her in the tub…but big sister absolutely LOVED it and completely stole the show … it was soooo cute! i’m definitely going to have to do the tub sessions again in the future!

i told her last night that every session i do with her babies is my new favorite session.  i truly don’t know how we are going to top this one!

and these were taken at the same location as the pregnancy reveal session here and lucy’s 6 month session. i love getting these little sunflower sessions every year because i know that will look so great when showcasing past sessions with new sessions to create a gallery wall.

i’m pretty sure that we got that pouty face in the image above when mom was telling her that it was time to get out and go home.  so pitiful

i’m already counting down to when we get to do lily’s next session.  it’s just crazy how fast they grow and how much they’ve already changed since lily’s newborn session.

today i got to meet the absolutely adorable exum family for a mini fall session and i must say….i loved them

M and S are hilarious and we had such a good time that our 30 min session ran to almost an hour with a little adventure at the end (that shall remain between us!)

i hope you love these sneak peeks and don’t forget to jump over to Facebook and “like” j. photography to keep updated on when the rest of the images from this session are done!

so a couple of weeks ago, i did this super fun session for an absolutely amazing couple! these two are so. much. fun! i have been dying to share the images, but haven’t been able to because they wanted to use my images to tell their parents that they are pregnant with their very first baby! how exciting!!!

you can just tell how fun they are by the pose above! completely james’ idea by the way! he had me cracking up at the session!

i have been wanting to do a double exposure look for a while now, but my camera doesn’t have the capability (one of these day’s i’ll be able to upgrade to one that can) … so i attempted it in photoshop….you don’t get the same exact look, but i love it nonetheless and i think it would make such an awesome print for their little nugget’s nursery

even though i only got to hang out with them for about an hour, i just know that they are going to be such amazingly fun parents to their little nugget. i really hope they call on me in a few months to take more maternity pics once amanda has an actual baby bump (i had to get her to pooch it out for a few of those shots)
