I received an e-mail while on a 10 day trip to Arkansas that this little gal had been born 6 days earlier.  Normally we do newborn photos within the first 10 days of the baby’s life.  Yet, I couldn’t make it back home in time to get to her within the first 10 days.  Let me just tell you, that she was just as tiny and just as precious at 15 days as she likely was at 10 days.  Such a sweet feisty tiny little peanut!

And we can’t forget Bailey.   She was just begging for attention.  What a sweet girl!

Thank you so much for allowing me to come to your home and experience your sweet little miracle!!!

As some of you have noticed, I have  a lot of newborn photos with crocheted goodies.  Not only do I have a passion for photography, but I have a passion for the arts in all forms.  My crocheting & crafting is just another way to let my creative juices flow.   I am admiditally a fiber junkie! I have basket after basket and closet after closet full of yarn!

This little guy’s mama and I played phone tag for over a month….but he was so worth the game of tag and the treacherous drive back to Elkhorn Saturday evening!!  He’s such a precious little man!!   He was a fun one!!  Mommy & Daddy told me he sleeps all day and stays up all night…..come to find out, the day of his session is the 1st day in his life he decided to fight sleep all day long! I’m hoping that I helped Mommy & Daddy get their 1st  good night’s sleep Saturday!

Without further ado, I introduce to you 9 day old Caden Emerson!

This little man was about the most adorable thing I have ever seen!!!  He was nothing shy of precious!!!  What a perfect little man!!  He’s gonna be a heartbreaker one day!!    I am sooo in love with my job!!  Keep the newborns coming!!!

This past weekend, I made the trek down to Poplar Grove, IL to meet precious baby Grace who was 10 days old.  What a precious little doll she is!!  She is so blessed to have such an amazing Mommy & Daddy!!!  Their love for each other and their baby girl is so evident!  Joanna & Jeff, thank you so much for allowing me to be part of such an amazing time in your life!!!

What a beautiful couple, both inside and out!!  This little cutie is going to have soooo much love!   I had such a great time getting to know both of you!!!  Thank you so much Joanna and Jeff for allowing me to be part of such an amazing time in your lives!!!

Best of luck!!!  I can’t wait to see your precious little one!!!

A couple of weeks back, I had the pleasure of working for the Getzen Company, yet again. This time I received a call to photograph one of their musicians on short notice. It was my honor to meet the amazing trombone player and director of the Jimmy Dorsey Orchestra, Bill Tole.

Sweet sweet Lilly.  This little princess is 3 months old and boy, did she give me a run for my money!!!  She didn’t really want much to do with me & she slept a total of …15 minutes…maybe….during the 3 1/2 hours I was at her home….she is still SUPER precious non-the-less.

Thank you for letting me be part of your day!
