Introducing Maleigh Jaye!

I'm excited to introduce the newest edition to my extended family, Miss Maleigh Jaye.  Maleigh is the daughter of my cousin, Misty, and her husband, Jason.  She is also the fourth great-grandchild, and the only girl on that list.  So that means pink is a must after having such a long run of little boys!  We had a fantastic newborn session, bringing in some vintage elements, and a lot of girlie accents.  Below are some of my favorites, as well as a slideshow of their session highlights!

 

Introducing Savannah!

Sweet Savannah!  Oh she's so cute!  Savannah Riley was born March 11, to first time parents, Melissa & Dan Hunt. 

We shot her newborn session this past Sunday.  She was very alert for the first half of the shoot, showing off her pretty blue eyes.  However, after her feeding, she crashed and let us have some fun with her sleeping pictures.  Melissa brought along the smallest boots I'd ever seen, but they still managed to be huge on Savannah's tiny feet.  We also got to test out one of our many new hats.  Isn't she a hoot!  (I know it's cheesy, but I couldn't leave it there without saying it...)

Here are some of our faves, as well as slideshow highlights.

Introducing Caden!

Caden is another product of our fabulous wedding couples.  He was born to Melanie & Tommy on November 23, 2010.  We were fortunate enough to get him, almost straight from the hospital, for Santa portrait in early December.  He looked so tiny lost in those big white gloves!

About a week later, we shot his full newborn session.  Most newborns like to sleep and curl up in a warm blanket.  Not this little fellow.  He was bright eyed and moving all around.  I've got a feeling Melanie and Tommy will be running to keep up once he learns to crawl and walk!  See more of Caden next week after his 3 Month session this coming weekend.

Check out his slideshow highlights!

Introducing Kadence!

Kadence Lee was born November 21, 2010 to Ashley & Joe.  We had our first session with Miss Kadence about 3 weeks after she arrived.  We had such a blast getting girlie in this session.  It seems like babies come in ways, either lots of boys or lots of girls.  Kadence was our first girl in a while, so we went frou frou with a puffy tutu.  Ashley worked on this special outfit just for the occasion.  We also got in some photos with the new parents before Kadence gave it all up for a nap.

Here are some of my favorite and the slideshow highlights from her session.  More on Miss Kadence soon!

Introducing Brody M!

Let's just go ahead and say what everyone does when they see pictures of this little guy, "check out that awesome hair!"  Little Brody was born on November 2 to one of our past wedding couples, Becky and Dan.  We've photographed him twice since then, once for a newborn session and again for his 3 month session earlier this month.

Brody made his grand entrance a bit earlier than expected, so our newborn photo shoot actually took place in the Maury Regional NICU just before Christmas.  When I first got the call from Becky, I have to say I was a bit nervous going into the hospital surrounded by such fragile babies.  But Brody was growing so fast and changing daily, and Becky wanted to capture all of those stages, especially considering the family had no guarantee of going home before the holidays.  The day of, however, the only thought I had once I got into the hospital room was wow.  My mom, who was assisting that day, just whispered, "I think that's the prettiest baby I've ever seen."

Brody proved to be a great model (already working the good hair vibe).  In fact, he recently was "published" in a billboard spot for the hospital.  I think he may have a career ahead...  He also had some great sentimental props from his family during his session.  He had an heirloom basket from his grandmother, his first toys from his big sister, and of course some Alabama baseball items from his parents.

At the beginning of February, I got to pay a house call for Brody's 3 month session.  He's grown so much in such a short time.  For this session, I got to see those big blue eyes on full alert mode, trying to figure out why I kept flashing lights and unwrapping him from his snug blanket.  Once again, Dan got to sneak in some baseball props.  I don't know, but I have a hunch Brody will be a little slugger before he's really able to pick up a bat...

As always, it's hard to narrow down pictures for display.  I chose a few of my favorites from each session, and included a video with highlights from each as well.  Visit us on YouTube and Facebook for full resolution video!

Introducing Kaden!

To kick off our baby blogging, I thought we would introduce the world to Kaden, the newest edition to my family tree.  Kaden was born in October of 2010 to my cousin, Erica.  We took his newborn pictures about two weeks after he was born, and just completed his 3 month session a few weeks ago.

So far, Kaden has been a photographer's dream baby: no crying and happy all the time!  For the first session, he napped the WHOLE time, which made for some adorable sleeping shots.  As long as he stayed wrapped in our soft furs, he was cozy and content.  For his second session, he was wide awake and watching everything with those beautiful blue eyes. 

Here are some of my favorite from his sessions.  To see Kaden's full slideshow, visit us on  YouTube or Facebook!
