I just had to show off this baby shower/baby announcement I designed last week. I absolutely adore how it turned out (and of course I wouldn’t have considered it complete until I loved it)! The second photo shows off the pearl paper I had them printed on to add a bit of elegance. I absolutely love her little feet dangling from the corner! It is two-sided so pictured is the front and back.

Sweet, isn’t it? And of course, all the photography is my work as well!

I have to admit that I have a soft spot for sessions at home. I am so honored that people have me into their home to take photos of them doing what they do every day. There’s such beauty in moms feeding and cuddling with their newborn babies and kids playing by themselves using their imagination and forgetting I’m there taking their photo. I love interacting with families and creating games to play with kids during our session, but I really adore truly candid photos where the kids go about doing their own thing and forget that I’m trailing behind them capturing it all.

Enjoy this sneak peek into this sweet family’s session who had me into their home last week! As you can tell, I had some beautiful light at my fingertips. I keep wanting to call it ‘delicious’. There are so many tender moments in this selection I picked out to blog, and even more in their full session, I love it! And to my lovely client, A: congratulations on the birth of your 2nd daughter! She’s gorgeous!

From my baby to yours!

Babies are truly miraculous, and anyone who has had a baby will tell you that it’s all in the details – the tiny fingers, the bubbly toes, the lines in the palms of their hands, the softness of their ears, and the creases from their fat rolls. Even my 7-year-old nephew marveled at the lines around my 7-week-old’s wrists from her new chubbiness. Okay, maybe he said that it looked like her hands were being cut off, but I thought it was sweet that he noticed anyway.

I finally spent some time the other day documenting these tiny details that I love so much and left them completely untouched except for basic color corrections. I absolutely love them and am so glad I can keep them forever, especially with how quickly my baby’s growing up already.

Here are the other two accessories I photographed for Bella’s Bowtiques.

The headband above is the Baby/Toddler Hair Bow Headband – Red – White Polka Dots. I think this one was my personal favorite. Like the beanies, the bow detaches so I can use it in my daughter’s hair once she has hair!

And here’s the Sweet Pink n’ White Waffle Beanie Cap Hat. Check out my girl’s arm rolls and double chin too. I love it!

I was recently propositioned to take photos for the etsy shop Bella’s Bowtique, and I happily agreed! So my baby girl got her first modeling gig this week selling newborn accessories. Aren’t these so cute? I love the accessories in this shop. They’re too adorable. I have a couple more I need to photograph still, so those are coming up, but I had to post these right away!

This is the Infant Sized Black Crocheted Beanie with Boutique Hot Pink Bow. I love how the bow clips onto the beanie so you can use them as separate accessories if you want.

And here’s the Infant Boutique Black/White Swiss Dots – Petite Red Crystal Itty Bitty Daisy Flower Headband.

Check out the rest of her shop too for more adorable accessories!
