Just a few more blog posts and we will be caught up on sharing all of our 2018 newborn loves!  So for now, the sharing of multiple new souls per post continues.  Who doesn't love some extra eye candy, anyway?  Right?!? ;)

While it is crazy how far behind I ended up in blogging, it IS a sweet trip down memory lane to look back at some of the newborns from 2018 newborn sessions.  These beautiful new souls fill my heart with joy and the studio with a little touch of magic. Such a privilege to do what I do as a career!

2018 blessed me with views like these through my lens.

Precious families bringing their newest additions to the studio, allowing me to capture big brother and sister bursting with pride is INCREDIBLE, for sure! 

Pursed lips and snuggles with Mommy and Daddy always warm my heart!

And sleepy newborn grins...oh my what a gift they are!!!

Seems a couple months of blog posts have been lost in the process of updating the website.  Guess it could have been worse, but I hope to widdle away at an old list and figure out which little loves are now missing their time in the spotlight.  But for now, I will continue to catch up on sharing all of the new souls captured in 2018.  Here's to more like these this year!

Lillybelle Rose Photography is proud to introduce...my newest Great Nephew, Dominic!  This little man is THE most expressive baby I've ever met.  His strength is just as impressive.  So looking forward to watching him grow, and standing in awe as I witness what amazing parents he has.  <3

In an effort to catch up with blogging, I'm thrilled to share a handful of little blessings today.  One as cute as the next, all perfectly perfect, and each an honor to capture.

While newborn photography isn't easy, it is most definitely rewarding.  Thank you all for the trust and joy of capturing this incredible time in your lives!!!

There is nothing like a mother's love for her newborn child, and as I can relate so closely to the feeling of cradling a new family member in my arms, I tend to share more images of mommies holding their sweet babies.  But then there is a Daddy and his newborn...nearly every time I snuggle a baby up to their Daddy's cheek, the baby seems to melt further into the pose, exhale a deep sigh of comfort, and drift back off to sleep.  It's an honor to witness time and time again.  Benjamin and his Daddy are the perfect example of this beautiful bond.

There are times a newborn's arrival doesn't go quite as planned.  A little early...a little late...needing some time to regulate at the hospital... If you book your session before delivery, and things don't go quite as planned, we will make it work.  Here's a great example, and a handsome one at that!

This family...these siblings...these outfits...this newborn, Noah...Um...Can I just be speechless on this one?

The awe...

The joy...

The admiration...

The chubs...

The smoosh...

The eye contact...AMAZING!

 My twin sister is to thank for the joy of this new soul being in front of my lens.  It is an incredible gift to have family members who fully support my sweet Lillybelle Rose, and continuously share information about my company.  Meilani and her parents filled the studio with love and joy.  And my gosh...doesn't she look amazing in purple?!?!?
