Sweet Girl/Asheville Newborn Photographer

This morning I did a newborn baby girl session at her home.  I haven’t done a session like that in a while and now I remember how much I love them!  I love being where the family feels most comfortable because that’s when you get natural, really beautiful, meaningful pictures.  The love between this couple was so great to see and was so apparent, even after a long night of no sleep.  I hope to do more sessions like this soon.  It was so nice meeting you all!  Here are just a few of the pictures that I love so far:

Anyone who knows me knows what a total sap I am!  Taking this picture made me tear up.  What a sweet moment!

Valentine Sweethearts/Asheville Baby Photographer

I did Valentine mini-sessions for my moms’ group this morning.  Normally I do one setup for these types of sessions, but this year, I wanted to do so many things that I ended up doing three.  I like to make my own backdrops and props, so the past two weeks, I’ve been up late painting and crafting away.  Even River helped me out some!  😉  Our kitchen counter has been a wreck and my totally organized self was about to go crazy!  😉  But it was worth it and I love how these turned out and the babies were all so cute and sweet.  Thank you guys for coming over in the freezing cold!

Piper had her pictures taken too.  This little outfit was a gift from a friend and it finally fits.  The headband was a gift from a client.  She put a jewel on it that belonged to her grandmother.  Needless to say, that was the sweetest thing any client has ever done.  Thank you so much Jennifer!

Happy holidays to all of you out there!  This year has been so amazing and I feel beyond blessed for all of the good that has come my way:  my 3 beautiful, healthy children, my very supportive and caring husband, all of the wonderful friends that I have made here, my family, we get to live in this gorgeous place, and on and on.  I don’t take a second of it for granted!  I look forward to another great year coming up!  I hope that your lives and hearts are full during this time of year and that you are with the ones that you love!

The Magic of Photoshop/Asheville Family Photographer

For our Christmas card picture, we had to do something a little tricky this year.  I took a picture of Ryder with River and Piper and he took a picture of me and Mya.  I then had to put the two together to get us all into one shot.  I promised on Facebook to share the before and after as soon as our cards were sent out, so here they are!
