Neely {hello world}

Charlotte, NC  Newborn Photography

 

The Plate family welcomed their third perfect little girl into the world not even two weeks ago, and I am so blessed to be a part of it.  Baby Neely is one of the biggest babies I’ve photographed for sure, but there is something about newborn baby rolls that just steals my heart!  Neely wasn’t a fan of being snuggled up into a tight ball or tucked really at all…but towards the end she gave up and became a sleepy and squishy newborn for us! Her older sisters absolutely ADORE her and Lilia (the oldest) would probably take care of Neely all day long if someone would let her.  The middle sister, Evie instantly became my buddy…and she wanted to be in all the action too. Evie has the most gorgeous lips of any little girl I’ve ever seen. hands down. All three of the Plate girls are beautiful and their parents have a lifetime of boys to worry about… hope you enjoy!!

The Brady Family

Charlotte, NC  Family & Children Photography

 

I absolutely enjoyed my evening with the adorable Brady family!! It was so warm out and their kiddies were in happy moods to play outdoors. Their smallest lil one- Ryan is the tiniest, most “doll-like” 6 month old girl I have ever seen!! She has these awesome big blue eyes and a giant smile. And Mr. Jackson was fun for me…I love little boys that are all boy! He wanted to show me cool stuff and hunt for new rocks- not take pictures, duh!!! Jackson just turned three and I am pretty sure he was instructing me of my job and what was going on in this world better than I could do myself. Fun family—I hope you enjoy a few shots of their evening!!

Welcome to the world baby NORAH

Charlotte, NC  Newborn Photography

 

Since I am playing catch up and have been completely behind with my blog entires…I will be making these next 5 or 6 a little more brief than normal- sorry friends!! (sick kids, tummy bug, still working on a new nanny, and my hubby traveling=speed bumps!)

The Riepe Family was such a joy to photograph. They are a beautiful family plus patient and extremely loving.  I loved their calm vibes, and it made me feel so peaceful as I captured their precious new baby girl, Norah.  She was fabulous for her very first modeling session, and her big brother Henry was a superstar. He really is my kind of kid. Henry is all boy, and an awesome dash of love. (that’s what I like to say my own boys are as well) Henry adores Norah. I can’t wait to watch their family grow! Hope you enjoy their peek…

baby Beau {hello world}

Charlotte, NC   Newborn Photography

 

I have been capturing the Elliot Family’s special moments for a few years now, and to watch them grow from a family of 3  (new mommy & daddy; Clara was just an infant) to now a complete family of 4, really warms me inside. Clara is now a big sister of a handsome little brother, Robert Curtis Elliot- “Beau”!!  Their Mommy is a rockstar birthing babies, and she deserves extra stars for it! And Daddy is so supportive of all of them, keeping the family together with unconditional love. I enjoyed my morning with their family, and the best part is seeing how much one tiny itty bitty goey baby can change their world & turn it upside down so quickly. (it happens every single time…it’s a given.) I love chaos, and the more children you bring into the world the more chaos and more love you have as well.  I work better and live more fully in beautiful chaos…

I love these fun moments, and I hope you do too!! {many of these I just had to share because they are just hysterical. having a toddler running around is always a fun time!}

Baby Keira Jewel

Mooresville, NC  Newborn Photography {hello world}

 

I had the pleasure of photographing one of my dearest friend’s third precious little gift from God last week, and since we haven’t finished with our session yet I only have a small peek for you all. Keira is so perfect and her loving family absolutely adores her. Enjoy…

ps- the more I look at her, the more I see she is almost identical to her big sis, Lola! 🙂

Annabelle {hello world}

Charlotte, NC   Newborn & Family Photography

 

The Hill family welcomed their second little bundle of joy into this world only a short week ago, and I can only imagine (from my own past experiences) how chaotic and amazing it is! I am constantly reminded of how much I don’t miss those sleepless nights but also reminded of how precious time really is. I am so blessed to be able to join in on a family’s special time right after a new one has been born.  Carson is the typical 2 year old boy…trucks and singing, full of curiosity and ready to wear out his parents every moment of the day! He is going to be one fantastic big brother, and little Annabelle will learn early how to keep up with her handsome older brother! We had a fun morning hanging out and capturing their new world in photos. I am so grateful to have met the Hill Family! Enjoy!!

Baby WALT {hi new world}

Charlotte, NC   Newborn & Child Photography

 

I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this little peanut! Baby Walt is so tiny and precious. Oh, and so loved. And his gorgeous big sister is super excited…she danced, sang and kept a close watch on her new lil buddy. Bri and Matt are so happy to have their new addition to their family…and I just know the chaos of being parents has just begun! Not to mention the fact that Matt is back in school (full time) and working full time as well. hello busy family. I am so glad I got to enjoy an afternoon with these precious people…and cannot wait to watch their love continue to grow as a family of four! Enjoy their beauty and their handsome addition, Mr. Walt.

Sweet Blakeley {HELLO WORLD}

Fort Mill, SC  Newborn Photography

Love this precious family, and couldn’t be any more excited for their newest addition– beautiful Blakeley! She joins her two gorgeous big sisters into this world of sparkly jewels, dress up, princess parties, ruffles, fluffy stuffed animals, singing, endless laughter and most importantly LOVE! Blakeley is such a teeny tiny peanut, and she was an angel for our whole session! Leah and Justin are incredible parents, and I know this little one will be loved eternally.  They are so blessed with these perfect little girls…and I am 100% sure there will never be a dull moment in their home! Enjoy their peek…

Lovely Sophia {9 months}

Denver, NC  {watch me grow} Children Photography

 

Sweet Sophia is already 9 months old, and more stunning every time I see her. It was so so cold on the day of her session, so most of our pics were indoors. (happy faces for all of us!) She is so so cute, I could just squeeze her! Enjoy!

I don’t think we could’ve picked a colder day for this precious lil 3 month old, Anthony.  But he was a tough little cookie and showed off his cutie lil smile for me, and even popped his pouty lip out for me a few times too.  Enjoy…
