This afternoon I did my first Asheville session with this adorable baby girl! She’s only 5 days old….so amazing! Thank you Melissa for letting me do photos for you!
Playing Footsie/Asheville Baby Photographer
I’ve been wanting to do this photo since River was born and for some reason we just haven’t gotten around to it until today. It’s so hard to believe that those little, sweet, precious feet are going to be the feet of a grown man some day! I’ll kiss them now all that I can! Happy 2 months sweet little man!
Summer is Upon Us!/Asheville Child Photographer
Looks like summer is just around the corner and we can’t wait! It was a loooong, cold winter, partly spent in NY and some spent up on this treacherous mountain that we live on. 😉 Some days were spent stuck inside because I just couldn’t bring myself to risk getting down the driveway after not having driven in 8 months! (We didn’t have cars in the city so driving made me feel like I was 16 all over again!) So bring on the sun, the long days, the evenings spent having drinks by the pool, and the bikinis! Okay maybe not the bikini this year since this momma just had a baby. haha!
Happy 3rd Birthday, Mya!/Asheville Child Photographer
Wow! I can’t believe my baby is turning 3! In some ways I feel like she was just born, but at the same time, I feel like she’s been with us forever! I was very excited to do her pictures and have been thinking for a while what I wanted to do. I loved her pictures from last year. See here. But, it was not fun trying to get her to smile for me then. I had to trick her into taking her pictures. No, no, I’m not taking pictures of you! I’m taking pictures of the bluebonnets! From the time she was about a year old, I could not take her pictures without her screaming and crying! Since I was in the process of wanting to learn all that I could about photography, this was a huge disappointment to me! She was my main subject! Well, lately, all of that has changed and she has loved having her pictures taken! Yay! UNTIL yesterday! Yesterday was the day that we planned on doing her pictures. It was also the day that we went to the most insane Easter egg hunt in the world. And it was also the day that we decided that she didn’t need a nap because she woke up so late in the morning. BAD idea! She did not want her pictures taken and refused to cooperate. On top of that, there were only about a million gnats swarming all around us the entire time that I was trying to take her pictures. I was so ready to lose my mind! I really don’t know how I got any decent pictures, but somehow I did and I just love them! Next year, I told Ryder that we are taking her to a portrait studio! I kid, I kid. 😉 Maybe she will be back to her model loving self by then. I can only hope!
Just Can’t Get Enough/Asheville Baby Photographer
I just can’t get enough of those sweet little baby lips! I could kiss them to pieces!
