I got to meet a tiny, newborn baby boy. It was so fun to learn what he got from mom, and what he got from dad. As new parents, they begin a journey of learning about their little one. He is there’s and they are his.

I try not to handle baby too much and watch to see what he does.  Mama laid him down and he put his hand up by his ear and held his arm!  It was so sweet!!!  I wouldn’t be surprised if this was a comfy position for him in utero!

I love these portraits of baby in mom and dad’s arms, you can see how tiny he is!

Baby boy fell asleep after eating and Mom didn’t want to wake him by moving him too much, so I laid his swaddle down and mama placed him on top.  He happily slept, while I took a few final portraits.  It was a beautiful way to end the session.

Why use cards if people are just going to throw them away? I’ve always been a fan of paper; I love walking into a papyrus store and admiring the creative and beautiful ways that paper is crafted. 

I also understand what it feels like to receive a gift so wonderful that you want to express your gratitude in a meaningful way—something that says, “Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I love this!!!” High-end cards can accomplish that; they stand alone and convey appreciation without the need to find an additional gift. 

I even keep a copy of our announcement or thank-you cards in our family heirloom collection. The quality cards I offer are custom-designed and printed double-sided. The thank-you cards are made from elegant, soft matte paper, allowing you to write a heartfelt note on the back.

Do you need photos for your child’s 8th grade promotion ceremony?

Middle schools often host ceremonies for 8th grade students moving on to high school, and our school asked for a baby photo and a current portrait. 

That’s where I come in! I’m offering mini photo sessions to celebrate your 8th grader’s promotion. 

Can you believe how much has changed since your 6th grade tween became an 8th grade about to be grad? 

I feel like I can see mine, grow right before my eyes! I have 11-year-old boys and a 14-year-old daughter. There is a lot of change that happens in those few short years. 

I photographed my girl for her 8th grade graduation, and I am so glad I did. It has been 1 year and already she looks different, older and more mature. I am happy I paused at that point in our lives and said, we celebrate you. You have achieved so much and are going on to new things. The pro photos have helped give her confidence in herself, not only because she is beautiful, but because she feels appreciated by us at home, she is ours. 

Book a mini photo session today to capture this milestone!
