Maddox. Adorable. Precious. Handsome. Yummy. Enough said, right?

Petite. Precious. Perfect. Meet Delany. This living doll was a gift to have in the studio. Her little smiles and sweet expressions were the icing on the cake!

There are often times I struggle for words to describe what I feel when looking at my tiny clients. If you've read through any blog posts, you are well aware I am a woman of few words and a lacking vocabulary, but feelings are something I have PLENTY of. Take for example, Owen's images. They may have been capture months ago, but as I browse his gallery to choose images for this post, feelings of connection, adoration and amazement are felt as if his session was taking place right now. Yeah, yeah yeah...I love newborns....blah blah blah. But really, truly look at him. The roundess of his cheeks, the adorable locks flipping this way and that, the button nose *just* big enough to be planted with a sweet kiss from his Mama. I could go on and on, but the moral of the story is, "Stop and admire the miracle of creation that is a newborn." They will amaze you every time.

Such a beautiful bundle of love! Sweet Aurora with spunky hair, yummy cheeks, adorable piggies and perfect rolls made it an absolute treat to capture her during her studio newborn session. The mush factor was a 10 our of 10! <3 :D

Aria and her beautiful family made my job H.A.R.D. You see, she made it 100% impossible to get through the session without sore cheeks from smiling like a dang fool. Aria made it extremely difficult to admit the session was over when I had captured the images I needed to fill her gallery with captures like these. And now, months later, they have made it much too difficult to stop at sharing just a few images. I mean, come on...can you blame me?!?!?

If you are able to gaze at this adorable new soul and not grin like a fool, well...you need a hug! ;D Everett was THE perfect model for his newborn session, and his hair was the icing on the cake! Oh beautiful boy, I did not want your session to end.

Meet a tiny little love bug, Clara. Sweet girl was a sleepy snuggler who didn't mind my attention at all. Perfect, isn't she?

Precious little Braydon and his family filled the studio with love and joy. This beautiful boy was as calm as could be during his session, especially when snuggled close to those who love him most. <3

Isacc and his loving family brought joy and laughter to the studio. He was a fantastic little model during his newborn session. Sweet expressions and adorable features were the icing on the cake!

❤️ A favor and a ‘gift’ for all my Apple user parents! ❤️

Our first has struggled with mental health since she was four. Diagnosed early and struggling through college, it was a hard road for us all. Her co-founder was molested and raped from childhood through her college years. They both have incredibly successful careers but longed to create a company which would help change the way we teach and parent in regard to mental health and sex education. Before We Begin was founded by these two powerful young women last year, and they have just released an incredible app (Beta version, IOS only at the moment) which will serve as a tool to get animations, illustrations, articles, reports and even journaling tools into the hands of parents and children across the globe. Subjects range from anxiety and depression to sexual orientation and racism. Please help grow Before We Begin and their app, Maro, by downloading now - it's FREE! I’ve had a peek at version ll and, I cried. So. Dang. Proud and amazed and grateful for their efforts to end ‘the talk’ and normalize mental health and sex education!!! They need more downloads to keep the investors coming. Please share this free resource and help these two amazing humans!
