More Sweetness/Asheville Newborn Photographer

My poor Piper.  She’s my new favorite model, but she doesn’t know it yet.   😉  I know that the newborn newness is almost past, so I am trying to get all of the pictures that I’ve wanted to do with her before it’s too late!  I’d love to do some outside.  Who knew it would be cold in May?!  Come on warm weather!

Sweet Piper/Asheville Newborn Photographer

Our baby girl arrived a week ago, a little over a week early. She was a late night surprise!  I love her so very much and feel very protective over her.  She and I both went through a really stressful time during my pregnancy.  I was seeing specialists each week because they thought that she might have some skeletal problems and then placenta issues.  Well, she came out a perfectly healthy and sweet baby girl.  I’m still in shock that she is okay. I’ve never cried so much and gone through so many emotions as I did when I was pregnant, so to see her here now with no problems just amazes me.  I’ve been waiting to do her newborn pictures until I felt like I’ve recovered enough from the C-section, but today I decided to do just a few pictures, even though I have a feeling I should have waited a little longer.  But she’s already changing and growing and I want to capture her now.  I will be doing more in a few days, but here are some from my studio today.  I love you my little Piper!

Baby Baby

I just recently found out that our Piper is going to be born in about a week.  I’ve been wanting to do some maternity pictures, so this weekend it was time!  I was already doing Mya’s 5 year pictures at the Biltmore House, so I decided to just have my husband take some pictures for me while we were there.  I set up the pictures and the camera settings and told him exactly what to do and he did such a great job!  Doing these pictures was a major task.  We had to get River up early from his nap and he was not happy!  The gates close to go into the gardens really early so we had to get there early, take our dinner and all of our clothes.  We hung out for a while, had a picnic, changed in the car and then had to walk a ways to get to the spots that I wanted.  My sciatica was about to put me over the edge.  And swollen legs and feet don’t mix very well with cowboy boots!  I could barely get them on and back off!  By the time we got in the car to go home 4 hours later, I was ready to die, but I’m so glad that we got some pictures done because this is my last pregnancy.
