The Sleepiest Baby!/Asheville Newborn Photographer

A sweet friend of mine just had her second baby boy.  She told me that he had his days and nights mixed up.  I totally feel for them.  We went through the same thing with Mya.  But it did work in our favor today for his session.  He was such a sleepy, tiny little man.  He did so great!  I’ve done his big brother’s pictures since he was just a few months old.  Today every time I put a hat on baby brother, he looked exactly like his big brother!  I love this family.  They are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever known!  Thank you guys for allowing me to do photos for you once again.  It means the world!  Congratulations on another precious baby boy!!

Happy 7th Birthday!/Asheville Child Photographer

Can it really be that I have a 7 year old?!  When I hear from her school that she is a “rising 2nd grader”, I just can’t believe it.  I still feel like she’s only in kindergarten!  But I have friends with kids who are graduating high school so I guess 7 isn’t that crazy.  lol This girl is so amazing!  She’s the most brilliant child I’ve ever known.  I knew something was up with her when she could read at the age of 2.  Now after having two other children, I see how special she really is!  What I thought was normal is actually exceptional.  She’s such an animal lover.  If she finds worms on the sidewalk, she takes them to the dirt and buries them.  She is always so concerned for any lost dogs that she sees.  She wants to pet every dog walking by and always asks their name.  She’s just such a sweet soul.  She has definitely been my most challenging child but when you’ve got that much knowledge going through your mind at all times, life has to be a little hard.  I can’t wait to see what this girl does in the world.  I love her little self!  Happy 7th birthday to my first baby!

I had another amazing session this morning.  The parents were amazing.  The baby was amazing and her big brother who just turned 2 actually cooperated….not for long, but he did!  This baby girl slept through her entire session until we took her outside for the final shot.  She was such a dream.  I loved hanging out with her beautiful momma too.  I love connecting with mommas right after they’ve just brought a new life into the world.  It’s such a sweet time in their lives and I feel so lucky that I get to be a part of it!  So thank you guys for choosing me to capture your adorable new little girl!

Outdoor Newborn Photos/Asheville Newborn Photographer

A close friend of mine just had her baby girl.  For her session, we decided to do most of it outside because so many flowers are in bloom right now and the mosquitos haven’t taken over yet.  I loved doing photos outside and would love to do more!  I might have to add that on at the end of sessions when I can.  Mom and dad were so very patient and I took dad on as my new assistant for the day.  He was awesome!  Thank you guys for entrusting me with your beautiful new baby girl.  She’s a dream and I can’t wait to see her again soon!

I’ve been wanting to do Mya’s birthday pictures for  a while now but it has been raining nonstop!  Today it finally quit.  It was warmer and Mya was in a great mood!  So today was the day.  I’ve been wanting to do something with her outside in nature.  She loves to be in the woods, looking for worms, insects, cool rocks.  While we were waiting for it to get darker, she was in the creek, covered in mud, searching for snails.  I wasn’t paying attention because I was getting everything set up and when I turned around and saw her walking in the water in her shoes with mud all over her white dress, I just had to laugh.  That’s so her!  She’s such a cool kid!  Her 7th birthday is coming up so I’ll be posting some more but I wanted to share my favorite photo from tonight.  This pose was all her.  She said, “I have an idea.”  And then she went and stood like this.  Too cute!  I love this girl!
