i am so excited to be finally sharing these! graham was the absolute best for his newborn session.  i got there and we immediately started with the outdoor “his first home” photos because i thought it was about to rain on us and it was important for us to get those house shots.  i think that being all bundled up and out in that warm weather is what put him in the “sleep zone” and allowed us to get the posed photos of him in the basket.  it wasn’t super important to bethany to have those “styled/posed” images, but we knew that if he managed to get in the sleep zone, we would definitely try to get those shots and I am so glad that it worked out because they are just so so sweet! i usually have to work much harder to get newborns to fully relax for me but graham was just so content snuggled up in that basket! and then he was such a trooper for all the outfit changes…. there were just way too many cute outfit to choose from for his first session and with bethany being a photographer, we decided to just try to get as much as we could and when he got fussy, we would quit. from start to finish, this session took us 3.5 hours and i loved every minute!

look at that sweet baby smile!

bethany’s maternity session

i have been wanting to post the images from this session since the moment i downloaded them off my camera!!  between the holidays and getting back to my full time job, it seems like it took me FOREVER to finish editing them!

i feel like we were able to capture a perfect balance of lifestyle and styled images from this session and that’s what i really love to achieve from my newborn sessions…the best of both worlds!

so without further ado…

meet daphne

isn’t her big sister just the CUTEST!! she was just absolutely amazing for the entire session…which is really rare for a 2 yr old!

the picture just above is one of the many favorites of mine from this session! it captures her sweet playfulness from that day.

i love that i was able to capture one of the dogs coming over to check out their new human!

i went home to west tn specifically for this session, i just happened to book some others since i was going to be heading down that way, but this session right here was what started the whole trip home.  you may remember her maternity session right here and little miss aubri didn’t wait too much longer after that session to make her arrival.  she was 3 months old when we took these pictures and mom had mentioned wanting a newborn feel for these photos

doesn’t she have just the prettiest lips….such a beautiful baby!

mom had this banner made for the nursery and it was just too cute, so we snatched it down and used it in our session

again….just look at those eyes and lips…just perfection

let me just tell ya people, this mom had no trace of just having a baby on her…she looks amazing and i hope that i am that blessed one day

this is aubri with her grandmother….”sweetest/bestest second mom to me ever”

we just had to get a shot of ra-ra with all her grandbabies

and this one is one of my absolute favorites from the session…i think that mom just looks perfectly calm and gorgeous and the girls are just doing their own things…and i think that this is probably what goes on a lot with 3 girls

this session took a lot of gummy bribery to get the two older girls to sit still for a couple of pictures and near the end of the session they really started getting silly…which is when i snapped this next one…

i just love it…this is her personality captured….her just being silly!
