Baby Joe

This little guy's mama and myself worked together during our time at New Horizon. She was one of the first friends that I made there, so I was delighted to be able to take photos for baby Joe! He was another absolute cutie! I went to their house for these photos so I had to work with a different setup, but it went great and I love the photos that we got of this sweet little guy at only a few days old!

Paige & Alex

This session was mainly for Miss Paige for her 6 Month Photos, but we also took some photos of her with her brother Alex! She was such a doll and the pictures turned out fabulous. She had a bracelet that she had gotten as a baby that we used in some photos which I thought was awesome! She also had the cutest little tutu that you'll see below :)

Baby Jonas

This family saw photos I had taken of friends of mine so they contacted me to take photos of their newborn - sooo thrilled for them to ask me! He had the cutest little blonde hair that stuck right up like a mowhawk. We tried to get him to sleep for most of the session, but we weren't 100% successful .. the photos still turned out super cute though!
