One Year Old!/Asheville Baby Photographer

This evening I met up with a family that I hadn’t seen since the fall.  Things were not working in our favor but they were so easy.  It started raining shortly after the session started and then it started raining a little harder.  We were outside and there was really not anywhere to take pictures that was covered so we found a big tree and kind of hung out there for most of the session.  Whew!  Thank goodness for awesome people!  These two are about to have birthdays!  It was so much fun hanging out with them.  Brother reminded me so much of River!  I haven’t done many family sessions lately and it was so nice to hang out with some big kids again!  Thank you guys for being so easy-going, even in the midst of rain, gnats and some potty accidents.  hehe   It was so awesome to see you all again!  Here are just a couple that I have edited.  More to come later but for now I’ve got eyes that are crossing!  Good night!  zzzz…..

Could she possibly get any cuter?!  Look at her little crossed feet!  Oh my!

This is Me!/Asheville Newborn Photographer

This past weekend my mom kept all three kids for the first time.  I saw it as an opportunity to go take some head shots.  I was wanting to hire a photographer but decided to just have my husband take them and then I could edit them in my usual style.  It took a little bit of educating to get them right.  lol  I had no idea that my husband didn’t know to focus on my eyes so we ended up having to redo everything because they were all blurry.  I would take a picture of him to show him exactly how I wanted it and then would let him trade places with me.  I think they turned out alright.  We had a lot of fun and it was nice to spend some alone time out in nature!  By the way, if/when you come for a newborn session, I will NEVER look like this!  hehe I am usually in shorts and a tank top with my hair up because my studio is ultra hot!  🙂

Just a Few/Asheville Newborn Photographer

For some reason, April is kind of slow.  I’m okay with it since I’ve got Mya and Piper’s birthdays and I want time to focus on their parties and birthday pictures as well as change some things in my studio.  Well, I guess that will be a job for my husband.  hehe  I’m going to take some time to breathe because May and June are booked solid.  But since I didn’t have a session over Easter weekend, here are a few more of my favorites from last weekend’s baby girl.  You can never get enough cuteness!

Precious Babe/Asheville Newborn Photographer

I sent the gallery to this mom and dad so I wanted to share some more photos of this precious baby girl.  I really loved this session and feel so lucky that parents choose me to photograph these beautiful babies for their first ever professional photos.  It means a lot because there are only a brazillion photographers in this town.  hehe  I love my job and love what I do so much.  My mind never leaves my business.  I am never not looking for beautiful props, fabrics and outdoor locations.  I am always thinking about the new mommas that I’ve met and wondering how they are doing.  I love seeing them and their sweet babies on Facebook.  And I love seeing those newborn babies at 6 months or 1 year when I get to photograph them again.  It’s so cool to see their little personalities coming out!  My job rocks.  People often ask me if I’ll ever go back to teaching.  How could I give up this amazing opportunity?  I miss my babies (5 year olds) that I used to get to have so much fun with each day at school, but I love my clients and their families and the friendships that come out of meeting them!

Heavenly Girl/Asheville Newborn Photographer

Today I got to meet this heavenly baby girl.  She was unbelievably good during her session, only waking up once to eat for a few minutes and then she was back to sleep.  She definitely won the award for the best little model.  I loved meeting her momma who looked fabulous after just having a baby!  I can’t wait to finish editing all of the photos from this session.  I will share more later in the week!

Mom and I had decided ahead of time that we were going to do this setup.  I was excited to do something with flowers since spring is here but this morning when I woke up and looked outside, it had snowed!  Say what?!
