Sweet Baby Ellison {greensboro nc newborn photographer}

I haven't posted much of my professional photography stuff here lately but had to share this sweet girl's images from yesterdays session. Little Ellison Skye is the newest addition for my dear friend Melissa! She and her husband have 2 school aged girls but decided they wanted one more and they were blessed with a 3rd little angel! She is precious and I just loved getting to spend some time yesterday creating these special images for them! It almost makes me want another one ;)... almost! Congrats Davie & Melissa on your beautiful baby girl!!

Sweet Baby Stella {greensboro nc newborn photographer}

I just had to share my most recent newborn session. Meet sweet little Stella Ruth!! She is absolutely precious with that head full of hair and sweet chubby cheeks. Mom wanted her images to incorporate Stella's beautiful nursery and I was more than happy to do so! It was so girly and peaceful!! I want to sleep there! And of course big sister Sophie had to be included in the session! She did so well holding her new baby sister...she is definitely a pro at it :) Enjoy the sweetness!!

Sweet Sawyer {greensboro nc newborn photographer}

I was able to meet & photograph sweet baby Sawyer this weekend! His mommy is a firefighter for the Greensboro Fire Dept. and I was thrilled to get the chance to create these beautiful images and incorporate her career into the session! I hope she will love them as much as I do! Thanks J&A for allowing me to create these memories for you! Enjoy your peek!

Princess Conley: a newborn session {greensboro nc newborn photographer}

Sweet little Conley came for a visit in the studio and I was tickled pink to get my hands on her! She is absolutely precious and rocked our session once we got her to sleep...which took a little bit ;) It's been a while since I've had a newborn girl and I had so much fun breaking out the cute headbands and this adorable little crown! Her two older brothers came along for the session and I can tell this little peanut will be one spoiled rotten little girl! I had the best time with her. Thanks T&A for allowing me to photograph your princess. It was a complete joy!

Dallas Max: a surprise Texas shoot {greensboro nc newborn photographer}

I just returned from a surprise visit to Texas to photograph my newborn nephew, Dallas Max. He was born 2 weeks ago and with the help of my brother-in-law and mom (who was already visiting) we made arrangements for me to fly out and surprise my sister, Daniah, with a visit and newborn session! She had NO clue I was coming! When I arrived, along with my dad who decided to join me, my brother-in-law made an excuse to leave the house to go to the hardware store. He picked me up from the airport and I was able to sneak into the house and non-chalantly walk into the living room like it was an ordinary day. My sister stood in disbelief for a moment until everything registered and then the happy tears came pouring out! She was so excited and shocked to see me! It was so great to be able to surprise her like that. I stayed for 5 days and captured some special memories for them during my visit.

My beautiful sister Daniah sharing a quiet moment with her new son!





My sister created the cutest little wall display in Dallas's nursery so I knew I had to get a shot of him in his room! I LOVE it!




Proud BIG brother, Jerry. He turns 3 in 2 weeks. Crazy how different their hair color is. Jerry was born with fiery red hair!




I had to get in a little snuggle time too! My own "baby" is 3 so I have to get my baby fix whenever I can!




And I can't forget about Rico. He is seriously one of the sweetest cats ever! Jerry torments him constantly and Rico just takes it like a champ. He loves to cuddle and I often would wake up at night to find him sleeping on my legs, lol! Oh, and he has this crazy fetish about climbing up and sitting high on your shoulder...yes, he's weird. If you bend over for any reason he will jump on your back and climb up over your shoulder and stand...and did I mention he's HEAVY!



It turns out that my sis lives just 10 minutes from a friend of mine who I "met" a few years ago through etsy. We did a trade. She made shoes for Ella and I made a dress for her Mia. You might be familiar with her work. Jessica is the designer/owner of Joyfolie. We've kept in touch through email through the years and I got her hooked on the Twilight book series back when the first movie came out. Since then we've compared notes on the books/movies and family life and have often talked about how fun it would be to actually meet for coffee someday. How coincidental that my sister moved just minutes from her a couple years ago. It was so nice to be able to sit down together for a yummy brunch and share about family and business stuff in person. If you're not familiar with Joyfolie you should definitely check them out. One of her designs was recently seen on the red carpet! There's a lot more great stuff in their future ;)



Well, I made it safely home and am so glad I had the opportunity to take this Texas trip to see Daniah and her growing family. With kids of my own it's hard to drop everything and travel. Thanks so much to my hubby for suggesting that I go and for making it possible for me to leave while he attended to our kids and home. I love you hon, muah!

Little Jackson {greensboro nc newborn photographer}

Little Jackson was nearly 11 weeks old at his newborn session! His due date was actually June 6th...but he came on March 28th, weighing a tiny 2lbs 15oz and 15 1/2 inches long! Wow! He's definitely come a long way since then. His parents are actually friends of ours...his dad a firefighter for the same dept as my husband. It was only natural that we incorporated his gear into our session! Jackson was a feisty little guy and was a challenge to pose b/c of his age since he wanted to be wide awake the whole time! In the end, however, we got the shots that we were after! Thank you K&S for choosing me to photograph your adorable new baby boy! I'm so glad he has thrived since his very early arrival! God is great!

Sweet Emmelyn {greensboro nc newborn photographer}

I finally got my hands on a newborn baby girl yesterday! Meet little Emmelyn Claire! She was such a rockstar at her session and slept like a champ through all of my handling! We were able to fly through the session at record speed of 2 hours or less and came away with some amazing images! I wish all babies slept like this little doll...makes my job so much easier! Congrats J&J on your adorable new addition! Enjoy your sneak peek!

i ♥ faces: All About Babies

This weeks photo challenge at i ♥ faces is "all about babies." I love photographing babies, especially those that are fresh from the womb. I haven't had a newborn to photograph in a while so I went to the archives to choose an image to enter. I have quite a few favorites but I just love how this little guy looks like he curled himself up by the window to enjoy a nap and soak in the warmth from the sun. How sweet! I hope you'll head over to i ♥ faces to check out the amazing entries or to enter a "baby" photo of your own. Baby animals are allowed as well!! Happy Tuesday all!
