These years keep flying by and another sister is turning ONE! Judith’s newborn session felt like just yesterday, but she’s so BIG now! I always try to get shots of each of the girls on their own, but their silliness all together (especially when their hand made blankets come in) are always the most fun!
Fun fact: Leah took this last photo of Judith, and Miriam took this photo of Leah! Just a little fun before they left!! I think they did great!
My little chicken nugget is getting so big since her Cake Smash session – don’t even talk to me about her Sitter or Newborn sessions… SO Naturally, we had to run out to play in the cherry blossoms while they were still fluffy and pretty!! It was a short and sweet session, but we had a blast and every time I have these sweet moments with my friends, I am so so lucky that I can capture how beautiful their lives are even when they feel chaotic and messy.
Now I don’t normally do newborn sessions outside of my cozy studio, but I had to make an exception for Heidi! When family in Ohio request you be the one to take their newborn’s first photos, you just figure out how to make it happen. Even if it involves driving through a snowstorm the whole drive up to Cleveland the night before, it was totally worth it. I barely saw her eyes the whole session- I must have said “she’s doing PERFECTLY” at least 10 times as I was changing her headbands and moving her all around and she didn’t budge. We had to get a picture with her in the crib that Krissy’s dad made for Krissy when SHE was a baby, so that was very special as well! My other favorite little detail from Heidi’s session was at the beginning, she was doing this cute little pose with her fingers out like the emoji. Also we can thank Kev for his assisting during the pink set up for holding up the blanket to save on editing time! Anyway, she’s the cutest thing on the planet and now you get to look at her sweet cheeks and her first family shots with Krissy and Kevin all you want forever and ever!
I can’t wait to watch you grow!!
One of my beautiful friends Andi and her awesome guy, Jack- who I’ve seen newly engaged, had the honor of capturing their wedding day, and now I’m sobbing while they hold their fresh baby boy in their arms. Jay was such a perfect squishy, sleepy baby, that not only did we do the standard newborn set ups and family shots, but we did a bunch in the lifestyle corner too! We even managed to unwrap him and get him in the most adorable chunky sweater for a few shots before he woke up! This was such a perfect January session- lots of cozy neutrals and a warm studio while the outside world was covered in snow. I can’t wait to capture this cutie as he grows!!

My dear sweet Andi! We all can’t wait for baby Jay to arrive, but while we’re waiting, we wanted to spend some time in the studio to capture how gorgeous Andi was looking with her full baby belly. I never do studio maternity sessions, but after this, I’m really going to start making it something I offer to everyone. The teal wall I painted for minis still holds up after the holidays and the oaty lifestyle corner was cozy as ever! We did keep the evergreen decor up for a few shots to honor Jay being a Capricorn. So many incredible shots to love and you get to see them all here!!
I’ll see you back here when Jay arrives, Mama!
