Gabriel Tinsley (14days)

Introducing Mr. Gabe to the blog! He was the perfect newborn model and just chilled out during our entire session. What a joy!

Congratulations Michael and Christy! He is precious!

Audrey Kate & Anne Perry (6days)

I met Anna about a year ago when she spied me at my hair salon. I was reading the photographer's training manual for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (an organization that offers infant bereavement photography during the loss of a child at birth). I was truly oblivious to those around me that day. Later I get a message on Facebook from her making her acquaintance and we became instant friends through our love for photography. I hadn't realized at the time but I had been following the gorgeous images of DiAnna Paulk that had been taking over the past year of her daughter Addie. Addie is just a couple of months older than my son Owen. Anyhow, flash forward 18 months and I was so honored to be asked to assist in a newborn session with DiAnna of Anna and Paul's latest arrival - new twin girls, Anne Perry & Audrey Kate. They are BEAUTIFUL!

Meet Audrey Kate...

Here's Anne Perry...




I am so in awe of multiples! I can't imagine the incredible connection between these two.








For some reason I didn't get one of big sister Addie that day. Not to worry DiAnna got lots so I had to borrow one from her for my post. Can't leave out Addie! She is an awesome big sister to these girls!

Nolan James (3wks)

This strapping young boy came into the world at 10 pounds 1 ounce and 21 inches! I think the college football recruiters are already making appointments to come see him! Typically newborn sessions are best in the first 14 days however due to a few extra days in the hospital and an already busy week it was a little later before I got to meet sweet Nolan. I knew Mom wanted the typical newborn stuff but I honestly didn't know what to expect. He was the absolute perfect model! He slept soundly and could have cared less that I was moving him around. This allowed me to capture such sweet images of this beautiful boy. Big Brother Kasen is so excited to have a new playmate.

I talked to his Mom recently and he is currently up to 12 pounds 10 ounces and 22 inches at just over a month old! WOW!! I can't wait to watch these two grow over the next year!

Bryson James (6days)

Oh how I love the newborns! That sweet newborn smell, their soft perfect skin, and the love that oozes from families when they are around! Such was the case when I met the newest addition to the "T" family. I can already tell his big sister Bella Hope is going to be a lot of help with this little guy. She loves her little brother so much. He is absolutely precious! Congratulations Pop and Kara!

Madeline Claire (day 2)

It has been a crazy week and posting images of this little sweetie is long overdue! Meet Little Miss Madeline Claire! She was born earlier in the week and is absolutely precious! I just love getting so see these newborns so fresh and new. Her new family just loves and adores her already. Congratulations Jackie and Jayson!

Luke (16days)

I had the pleasure of spending the morning with Luke and his parents yesterday and oh what fun we had! As with most of the older newborns (past 14 days) he was very aware of my presence and really didn't want to relax at first. He grunted and scrunched up his forehead anytime we messed with him. Although soon enough he couldn't resist being all warm and cozy and finally drifted off to sleep. He is such a precious little boy!

Congratulations Jason & Kellyn!

Tal (18 days)

Meet Big Tal! He is I believe my oldest newborn to date and did amazingly well. Ideally newborn images are best to get within the first 14 days after birth but Tal proved that it can be done. Usually by this age they start to be much more alert and not as willing to stay asleep and let you move them around however this little guy couldn't resist all my little tricks and just snoozed away. He did grunt at me quite a bit but I'm so proud of him for being the perfect little model! He is quite the cutie!

Mae Margaret (13days)

Introducing her Royal Highness...Princess Mae Margaret! Simply beautiful and ready to rule the "W" household! Although her big brother Prince Max will definitely give her a run for the job. I had such a wonderful time visiting with this sweet family last week. As expected because she was nearing the end of that ideal 14 day time frame for newborns, she didn't want to miss out on any of the action and fought sleep at first. However after a little coaxing we were finally able to wear her out and she slept like a baby! ;) Look at those precious little lips!

LOVE those sweet newborn smiles!


YUMMY cheek chub!
