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 Preslar Twins {hello world}

Charlotte, NC  Newborn Photography

 

Oh my goodness how lucky is this girl? VERY!! I got to photograph to beautiful baby girl twins that had just come home (finally) from the hospital! Claire and Ella Grace were born 10 weeks early and both were in the 3 pound range….teeny tiny! After 6 weeks in the NICU they got to come home to their Mom & Dad to live happily ever after!! The girls are beyond sweet and make some of the cutest noises I have ever heard in my life. The grunts and squeaks gave me a slight flash back to the days of my own Cade bug in the NICU–awe.  It’s amazing how perfectly different these two little angels are- even their tiny but strong personalities. I can’t wait to give their precious parents all their images, and watch these two grow and turn into little toddlers before you know it! I had a blast with this family- enjoy their peek!!

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…

Welcome baby FINN {hello world}

Charlotte, NC  Newborn & Family Photography

 

Jessica, Ed and big brother Maddox were so excited to welcome their newest family member, Finn into their beautiful family! I loved spending the morning with them, watching Maddox play and love on his mom and dad. Finn is so perfect, and so tiny. He was such a good little guy and will catch up with his brother so quickly as much as he eats! It warms my heart to know the love and fun ahead for these 2 brothers! Hope you enjoy all of their moments I captured, they are simply a beautiful family.

Oakley Elizabeth {hello world}

Matthews, NC   Newborn Photography

Where do I start with this beautiful family? hmmm maybe I’ll begin with the obvious…brand new baby Oakley is pretty close to perfection.  She is the closest thing I’ve ever seen to a real life baby doll to be honest. She is just gorgeous and well, her whole family falls right with her in that category as well. The Frank family were wonderful to spend the afternoon with…it was so peaceful pretty much my entire time in their home. (such a rarity with newborns & toddlers) It just went so smoothly and little Oakley was a superstar. Her big brother, Myers is super excited to have a new little sis too- which makes it even more fun in the Frank household!! I adore every one of their photos from the session..hope you love just as much as I do!

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!}

Justin {hello world}

Denver, NC  Newborn Photography

 

I am excited to post these photos of this adorable new family…The Bennett Family. Precious little Justin was 8 days brand new when we got to play baby dolls with him. He was an angel and slept wonderfully- and even gave us some fun time with him wide awake. We had lots of laughs and captured his new little squishy self. Hope you enjoy!!

The Valentine Family

Charlotte, NC   Family and Lifestyle Photography

I am so lucky to have met yet another incredible family last weekend, the Valentine Family. {such a perfect name for this exciting Valentine’s day!} Jessica, Brandon and lil William welcomed a new member to their family about a month ago- John David.  William and I became best buds by the end of my session, and I could easily slip him into my purse and steal him away to my home! Such a fun family with lots of happy times ahead with these 2 handsome little boys! Hope you enjoy…

lil Brady {Hello World}

Denver, NC  Newborn Photography

 

YAY!!! Another newborn this week…I have actually lost count at this point of exactly how many new lil peanuts have entered into the world this month. Woohoo for beautiful Autumn babies. Brady  was 9 days brand new when I photographed his cuteness and his absolutely precious family. I still cannot believe he makes number 4 for the awesome McCormick Family! He is the perfect combo of all the other 3 kiddos, and as precious as a peach. (dimples and all) He has no clue how lucky he is to be part of this family of his, and I am so grateful to be able to capture these special moments…enjoy.
