Emily + Andrew + Katy {dallas newborn photographer}

It’s like she KNEW what I was there for…(one of the other two tipped her off, I think).

At 2 weeks old, this sweet baby girl put up with me through much primping and swaddling, and I even stole a few snuggles of my own. From her head *full* of hair to her wee baby toes, she stole the show and held her own (as 3rd babies learn early on is a necessity, not just a right).

Plus, her nursery was to-die-for gorgeous. It doesn’t get much more fun than this:

This last image from her session is, if nothing else, a reminder of just how privileged I am to know and bond with these children (and their parents) over the years that Sugar has been in existence.

I first met Katy when she was not quite 2. Her speech was tricky to understand, her tutu was darling, and her curls stole the show. Her little brother was still in mommy’s tummy, and this image is, to date, still one of my very favorites of all time (and one that still hangs in the showroom). I photographed Andrew through his baby plan, and we morphed into annual mini sessions once the kids were old enough.

To have watched them grow, and add, and add once more, and to be invited to share and document along the way…THIS is the joy that encompasses photographing children. THEY are why I freely admit that I have the very best job in the whole wide world.

Welcome, Miss Emily. We’re going to have some fun together, just ask Katy and Andrew. XO.

Bridget + Katherine {dallas newborn photographer}

You may remember enigmatic, emphatic, energetic Katherine from late last year. She had *much* to say about the upcoming arrival of her new baby sister (and a lot of other things as well). Today I met Miss Bridget Eloise, and from the moment I walked into their remodeled home (read: GORGEOUS NATURAL LIGHT!) until the time I left several hours later, I don’t think I stopped marveling at just how wonderful tiny Bridget was for her session. It helps, of course, that her grandmother was there to lend her experienced baby whisperer ability, and when you add the location to a very sweet baby, it added up to a perfect newborn session.

I managed to hang around long enough to snag a few of Katherine and Bridget with their gorgeous mommy, and I’m so glad I did!

Emma Janae {ACPCG}

After Ella Dawn’s session a few months ago I was contacted by another sweet ‘heart baby’ family that would soon be heading to Children’s Cardiac ICU. Emma Janae endured heart surgery just 19 hours after birth, and several more in the 21 days since she was born. I was lucky enough to be in the room when her darling Mommy was handed her baby girl for the very first time.

There’s nothing like a little anticipation to make you realize just how agonizing those 21 days must have been.

Daddy was right there, watching the monitors, loving his two girls, and I know he was just aching to hold her. She did so well after I left that I hear he was able to love on her a bit himself, and that makes me just so happy for all three of them.

Of course, any stylish baby girl (especially here in Dallas) MUST have a rockin’ bow collection. Sweet Emma may have the the best bows I’ve ever seen, in or OUT of the CICU.

Pure joy:

Feel free to give this sweet family a little lovin’ on their BLOG. They are living at the Ronald Macdonald house near the hospital as they traveled from out of state to be here. I know they could use every prayer, strength, and uplifting message that they can get.

Ava, Audrey + Amelia {plano newborn photographer}

Miss Amelia rounds out this trio of A-DOR-A-BLE girls, and quite well, I might add. She was so cooperative, so sweet, and is already living up to my much beloved hype about third babies (they are the BOMB).

Her sisters Ava and Audrey were equally sweet and cooperative, and a little silly to boot. My very favorite combination!

Love her pouty little face here…
