These little girls were born full term (38 weeks) and slept like champs!  It was hard picking out which 3 I liked the best, so I didn’t try.  I just picked 3 that showed them together.  I also had the joy of doing the maternity portraits for these little ones, and let me tell you, Mama look amazing (MUCH better than I did and I only ever birthed one at a time!). 

Their parents are easy-going, fun-loving…and down-to-earth people.  It will be so fun to watch them grow up.  Congratulations and many blessings to your beautiful family!

This little cutie pie certainly did do that!  I just love it that when people start calling me the “Baby Whisperer” for my ability to lull newborns into an awesome and peaceful sleep for our sessions…WHAM…God reminds me that NO, I’m not responsible for that, He is.  I have to laugh. 

Although he barely slept for our session, we got some awesome stuff.  I gotta hand it to Mama, she was a trooper!  Doing everything I asked and then some.  Many blessings to your sweet family!

I’ve been posting little bits here and there on my Facebook page, but sometimes forget to share the love here as well.  This little girl was a stubborn little thing.  Breach…so her mama had to have a C-section.  At first she decided sleep was NOT gonna be in her near future during this session.  However, we finally got her to sleep though, all was well with the world.

I did her Big Brother’s newborn portraits over 3 years ago!  Boy how time flies.  There were many brother-sister shots I could have put up here.  However, I crack up when I see this one.  He was so enthralled with the “strange-looking” belly button his sister had.  He kept looking down to make sure his was not the same!  Had me laughing…

This little one was actually quite big…over 9 lbs at birth!  And, he had a bit of a rough start in the hospital.  But, now he’s home…and gorgeous!  Stop by the blog or J9 Photography Facebook page and leave the parents some love…they need it.  They are exhausted!

Seems like something is in the water here these days…and it’s producing the most BEAUTIFUL babies!  Oh how I adore my job.  These little ones are such miracles.  I love hearing each and every story.  The miracle of birth will never cease to amaze me.

When the parents of this little girl told me she was perfect…they were SPOT on!  She slept like an angel the WHOLE shoot.  That happens so rarely (along with me NOT getting pooped on…which is a total miracle in of itself) that I just had to tell EVERYONE!  It was also very hard for me to choose just three “sneak peeks”, as the whole shoot was fantastic. 

Gotta tell you the story behind the pink blanket she is wrapped in.  It was her mom’s blanket as a little girl, and you could tell it had been well “loved” over the years.  How neat to have something like this to pass down to your child.  I think we managed to make the blanket look pretty good.  Then again, I think this little one would have looked adorable in a wet paper bag!

It really was such a pleasure working with them.  I can’t wait to see how she matures (and grows lovely inside and out) over the years.  Congratulations, she’s a COMPLETE blessing!

Ahhhh…there’s NOTHING like getting back into the saddle again…with my FAVORITE type of shoot, NEWBORNS!  This little sweet boy has a ton of hair (and I commented on how my littlest one would have liked that when she was born).  He was an absolute angel of a baby during our shoot.  Mr. and Mrs. C you + God make BEAUTIFUL babies!!!  Thank you for the honor of allowing me to photograph your newest addition.  Congratulations!!!

These two little girls were so loving toward their new baby brother (and to each other…wish that would rub off on my kids!).  This is definitely a modern-day family.  Dad is a stay at home dad and mom is an executive at a large communications company.  What is so neat is to see how amazingly awesome these children are!  Guess you can’t tell how impressed I was, can you?  LOL!

On another note, I’m sorry I haven’t been good at keeping up with the blog lately.  End of year school, softball tourneys, and general life has been insane.  I’ll try to catch up, as I have so many wonderful portraits to share with you.

 Mr. & Mrs. “T” have quite a sweetheart on their hands…but it came with a fight.  Mrs. “T’s” pregnancy was a difficult one with a ton of bedrest towards the end.  Their sweet daughter decided she just couldn’t wait and came a month early…only to be in the NICU for almost the first full week of life.  She’s home now with a few monitors to keep everyone assured she will be safe and secure. 

She’s the most calm baby I think I’ve ever met and slept through most of our session like an angel.  You can see the complete adoration and happiness in her parent’s eyes.  Watching Mrs. “T” look at little Miss “C” completely melted my heart…just knowing how hard everyone had to work for this little miracle girl.  Thank you for allowing me to share in such an amazing time in your lives!

I have the absolute pleasure of introducing you to the newest member of our family…Remington.  Isn’t she adorable?  It’s still hard to believe my “baby” brother is a dad.  I never doubted he would be a fantastic father.  He’s nothing but a huge teddy bear with children (even if he tells you otherwise).  “Remy” is the apple of her Mommy and Daddy’s eyes. 

 My parents are bursting with pride, as is everyone on both sides of the family.  She will be one of my favorite subjects to photograph throughout the years, so I thought I had better introduce you to her while she was yet just a little peanut. 

 Happy Birthday my sweet niece and many blessing upon you!
