I’ve fallen a little behind on blogging, please forgive me.  Things have been so hectic around here!!!

I could not help but blog these little fellas   Aren’t they the cutest!?!  We had quite the time.  Poor little man wasn’t feeling the best & we didn’t realize until after that the little trooper had a double ear infection. (his 1st)  Poor little man!  His big brother and I had a fun time, though.  We hunted for “Tiger” the purple bear who was digging holes in the woods.   I love my job & getting to enjoy the imagination of little ones.  Thanks Anna for the opportunity to meet you and your little men!!!

Much love~

When I received the call from this little guy’s mama last week, I must admit I was a bit nervous.  She had seen my photos on facebook & wanted “newborn” pictures of her baby.  At the time, I thought she said he was 4 weeks old.  Normally newborn photos are done within the first 10 days of the baby’s life because the babies tend to sleep longer and are a bit more “curly.”  So I hurried and squeezed the little guy in.   When I arrived at their home I said to mom, “so….he’s 4 weeks old?”  She said, “no, he’s 6 weeks now.” *insert me REALLY starting to bite my nails here*  This little six week old man was easier on me than some 6-14 day old babies.  The only problem we had is he is REALLY attached to his binky.   Needles to say, he was so adorable I couldn’t resist coming back and editing a few of his pictures right away. He is simply precious!!!

Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home & letting me be a part of little Mason’s first few weeks here on earth.

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!!!

A couple of  months ago, I agreed to donate my time and 4×6 prints in October for the Jackson PTA Halloween Family Fun Night.  I am sure glad I did!!! I got to see sooo many little cuties.  Below is just a sampling of all the little cutiepies I had the opportunity to photograph!!  This is not my typical type of photography, but it was fun…non-the-less.  It was a lot of work, but so well worth it.  $120+ went toward Jackson PTA and the great things they do for our children.

YAY!!!
