Asheville Newborn Baby Photographer
Lately, our neighborhood has turned into a botanical garden! Everywhere I look there are these beautiful trees and flowers! I was very excited to get to do a session in our own neighborhood yesterday with this very sweet, very happy little man. He reminded me so much of my little River. I loved this session and hope to get to work with this family again!
On Sunday I did the second day of my mini-sessions and it went a little differently than I was planning! I got to the location and got all set up with plenty of time to spare. My first family showed up and we were right in the middle of doing their photos when it started raining. And then it started POURING and thundering. We got under a gazebo and waited it out, but all I could think of was, “Hmmm….all of my stuff is sitting out in that, including things that I spent lots of time making.” 🙁 Finally it quit and they left and I was hanging out all by myself, with all of my wet things and it was so cold! I didn’t know what to do! Go to the car and turn on the heat and wait? I’m the mom who makes my family have a photo session in the rain. When I’ve got my mind set to do something, I’m doing it. So after a couple of families came and left because it was so wet and cold, the sun started to come out and I was hopeful that things were going to turn around. And they did! It got warmer and the rest of my families came and we had a great time getting some fun pictures! I went home looking like a cover girl, let me tell you! Soaking wet shoes, crazy hair, grass-stained knees, just gorgeous! lol Needless to say, all I wanted to do when I got home was take a shower! Thank you to all of the families who made it out and for those of you who weren’t able to stay, I’ll be seeing you in a couple of weeks! 🙂
So, so happy that spring is here! The weather has been amazing. I ride around with the sunroof open, the music blaring and a big smile on my face. This weather will do that to ya! This afternoon I did spring/Easter mini-sessions. All day I was afraid it was going to rain and watched weather.com about every 10 minutes. 😉 But it didn’t rain and it was perfect. So here are a few of my favorites and then it’s off to bed. zzzzzz…..Why am I up so late when the kids went to bed early tonight? Don’t I know by now that that means they will probably be up early?! ha!
This is London. Isn’t that such a cool name? She doesn’t like to look at me when I take her pictures, but I don’t mind because I love the pictures of her most when she’s just having fun and being herself. (By the way, her momma is an A-MAZING artist and I highly recommend checking out her stuff! We’ve got one of her paintings in our kitchen!
So just to show that London does sometimes look at the camera, here is one of her doing just that!
But I still like these best:
And if you look at my blog often, you will recognize this sweet little bunny. She and her brother are some of my favorite clients. I get to photograph them all of the time. Aren’t I lucky?
I love pictures of babies walking. Their walk is just too cute!!
I love her blue eyes!
My setup matched her blue and green dress perfectly!
Stay tuned for more throughout the week. I’ve got another session tomorrow and another mini-session during the week! Yay for busy season!
My baby bear is turning one this coming week so I did his birthday pictures this weekend. I’ve been planning and planning his pictures for months now. I had it in my head that his pictures would be in my studio with it being March. But this has not been much of a winter and to my surprise it was actually really warm yesterday. So change of plans. Why, oh why, did I have a winter baby? 😉 Didn’t I know that my dreams of a first birthday session outside would be squashed?! I’m having a really hard time with him turning one. So many emotions have gone through me. One day I’m happy to see him growing into such a fun, happy little boy and the next I’m crying my eyes out, not wanting to believe that he is growing up. I’m not sure if it’s because he has been the easiest, happiest baby ever made and I know what comes next: the terrible two’s! Or if it’s just because I know he’s our last and I don’t want the time to go so quickly. Either way, I am sad that he is getting so big so fast. I’m so sad about it that I keep wondering if we should have just one more. My brain says, “No way! Are you crazy?!” But my mom heart says, “Ohhhh yes. One more sweet little baby!” 😉 And then there’s my husband. Oh yeah. Thanks for putting me back on planet Earth, honey! lol So happy birthday to the most amazing little man. You rock my world and have my heart buddy!
My husband got one of me and my little man together. Sometimes being a photographer has its disadvantages. I’m not in many pictures with the kids. But I love this one.
Warm weather is slowly getting here and I couldn’t be happier. I love that here, trees bloom with all different colors of flowers. It’s just breathtaking! So I’m very excited to be able to get out and do my sessions outside again! (Of course newborn and baby pictures can still be in my studio or in your home.) If you are wanting a session this coming year, NOW is the time to book it. Dates are filling in and I only do a small number of sessions per month so that I have more time with my family. 🙂 Can’t wait to find new locations and meet lots of new families this year! If you are interested in a session, just drop me an email: brandy@brandylewisphotography.com and I’ll get back to you!
