I went to college with Jennifer and Nick and we’ve kept in touch through Facebook. I’ve followed her decorating blog since they bought their house, jealous of her decorating skills! Through the awesomeness of social networking, I heard that Jennifer was pregnant with a little girl and was absolutely thrilled and excited when she asked me to take maternity and newborn pictures for them! Her vision for her maternity session was to have “sun-kissed” pictures…but the weather had different plans for us. I just love the way they turned out, despite the cloudy skies!

Sweet Reese just couldn’t wait until her due date (after Christmas!) to be born…she decided to make her entrance 2 weeks early and surprise everyone! Reese is the baby sister to Riley, who has shown up on my blog several times! She looked so much like he did as a newborn that her mom joked that everyone would think we put headbands on a newborn Riley for these pictures She was perfect for her session and it was so fun to see how much Riley had grown and see him in this new big brother role. Congratulations, C family! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Sweet, sweet Kendall. She was beautiful and perfect for her session. She hardly made a peep the entire time I was working with her and let me do pretty much whatever I wanted with her! Add in the fact that she needed just a teensy bit of help (read: snuggles) from me to get settled in the beginning and it was one of my favorite newborn sessions yet! Tracy and Donnie, thank you so much for trusting me with your precious little girl! Enjoy your sneak peek!

I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous baby girl right before Christmas on her 5th day of life. She was a perfect angel for me and was so sweet and cuddly! She was so tiny that I had to do some creative tucking to get my hats and headbands to fit on her – so, so precious! Thank you guys for letting me photograph your precious little girl!

This isn’t really a sneak peek anymore since their gallery slideshow has already been delivered, but I just couldn’t let these adorable pictures of Emerson sneak away into my archived files without making an appearance on the blog! Right before Christmas I got to meet this adorable little one to take her 1st birthday photos. It was chilly and a little bit rainy outside, so we played inside for most of her session. I had so much fun with them reading stories, crawling around a lot, eating some snacks, and practicing walking with mommy and daddy. She had her first birthday party this past weekend…happy birthday, Emerson!
