Jacksonville Newborn Photographer: Chase | Newbie

Another of my sweet "Bump to Baby" little ones is here! You may remember this gorgeous couple from a few weeks ago...

Well I'd like to introduce you to their sweet little son, Chase. What a wonderful little guy! He slept so soundly and we just had such a fun, relaxing session, which is just how a newborn session should be! Welcome to the world, Little Chase! I can't wait to watch you grow!

Ooh how I love listening to adoption stories. They always make me teary eyes. This sweet little one was born on the 6th, exactly ONE WEEK after her parents found out they were chosen by the birth mother. WOW. They had one week to prepare. She contacted me over the weekend asking me to make room in my schedule for her newborn and told me her story. Duh, I definitely wanted to do this shoot. 

However, little miss did NOT want to sleep. Her mom kept apologizing because she always sleeps, so she didn't know why she was so alert. Everytime I'd get her into position, she'd open those sweet little eyes and stretch. Seriously homegirl did not sleep. Once the shoot was done, she zonked out. However, she totally rocked her poses anyway. Such a sweet little girl! 

Here's a few favorites

Couldn't decide between black and white and color. I prefer b/w buuuut the tat was so colorful.

Grandma made this blanket. I loved it, and just had to incorporate it.

This is mom's doll cradle from when she was a child. I fell in love!

Um, seriously, is this not the most gorgeous family ever?

They just recently adopted that gorgeous little man there on mom's hip. I photographed the adoption homecoming (did I blog that? Can't remember. If not, you can see it on my facebook page.) and mom and dad wanted to have some family photos taken as well since it was so hectic during the homecoming. It was the holiday season after all. 

So we planned on meeting up after the holidays for a fun family session, and it didn't disappoint! This family is so wonderful and the kids are all so carefree. I enjoyed every second photographing them. We started off with the posed shots, then headed to the playground for some fun lifestyle shots. 

Here's a few more of my favorites from that day. 

Aren't they the most gorgeous kiddoes?

Love the sass!

Let me know what you think!

Jacksonville Newborn Photographer: Meet Adeline | 8 days new

Someone just had a baby!

That's right, my good friends just welcomed their sweet little Adeline into the world, and just in time for Christmas! I got to play with her today and let me tell you, she is a grade A snuggle bug! She was just so easy going and such a great little poser. Even wide awake, she was so chill and just was a pleasure to photograph. Here's a few (ton) of my favorite shots of the day. 

I love using bonnets on little girls 

Another amazing hat by my wonderful friend with FromHands2Heart

Welcome baby Adeline! I hope you like it here! <3

Okay, so remember this goooooorgeous couple?

Well, their long awaited little boy finally arrived, and right on time! He's such a gorgeous little guy and I loved every minute of his shoot. Since it's so close to Christmas, we did a few Christmas shots, as well as just some non holiday themed shots. Here's a few of my favorites

Sometimes no props or hats makes for the best photo

Love a good black and white

Sweet little reindeer

Santa Baby

Best. Gift. EVER! 

Welcome to the world, Caleb!

Jacksonville Baby Photographer: Elijah | 9 Months

Remember this gorgeous little guy?

and then his 6 month session? 

Well, he's getting big! He's 9 months old, so we met up for a 9 month session/ Holiday family session. I can't tell you how much I love this family. Mom and I used to work together and we got married the same year. She's a great friend, and I have loved being there to watch her boys grow and I feel honored to be able to capture their life in photographs for them. 

Here's a few sweet images from Elijah's 9 month session. Hard to believe our next session together will be celebrating his first birthday! *sniffle* They grow way too quickly!
