Welcome Baby Cash :: Abilene Newborn Photographer, Abilene Family Photographer

I first met Cash's mommy, Mari, during an interview I participated in about water-birth at home on KTXS News. She was lovely and come to find out, she was not just working... but doing a little personal research herself!! She was newly pregnant! I was delighted, months later, when she contacted me to do her son's newborn session! Baby Cash was a delight to work with and I'm just in love with some of these images! Just wanted to share a few faves!

My blog is sorely neglected these days. I'm currently 23 session deep in post processing so it's a wonder I'm even taking the time to blog!? :)














One of my most favorite images from the entire session! Loved Chris's genuine expression as he looked at Mari... just precious!



Another favorite!!








Snuggly-wuggly!

6 Months of Sweet Ava :: Abilene Children's Photographer, Abilene Family Photographer

I'm telling you, I've just had a big, huge dose of adorableness in my studio here recently! These little girly sessions are just killing me with cuteness! Ava was no exception!!! She was such a champ to let Mommy change her so many times and still be happy for her photos! Her eyes are just gorgeous.... I'd kill for her eyelashes.... which have BEEN long and luxurious since her newborn session!! :) I just love it when families choose my first year package.... I get to watch them grow and change! Wonder what 9 months will bring?! :)

A few with Daddy's Airforce football gear!!! So stinkin' cute!!!









This just cracks me up!!! What a cutie!!

Kinley Turns 1!! :: Abilene Children's Photographer, Abilene Family Photographer

I started photographing little Kinley while she was in her mommy's belly! I got to do her newborn, 6month, and now her one-year photo sessions and man, what fun to watch her grow and change!! I'm loving my little indoor studio space during these winter months!! With the West Texas weather being so hit or miss (usually a combination of windy and/or cold)... it really seems to be working out great to keep these sweet babies warm and toasty!! Kali (mom) did such a great job on her big cupcake smash-cake! I'm actually putting something very simliar together for my Lyla Grace's one year session here any day now! :) I love how she made all the fun colors inside so that the icing didn't stain Kinley's clothes! Smart mama! :) Hope you enjoy these... I sure enjoyed taking them!








I'm loving the combination of dimples and double chin in this one!!

Rylan is One!! Abilene Children's Photographer, San Angelo Children's Photographer

I got to shoot with this little dude this morning in honor of his first birthday!! He was so fun to watch as he toddled around my little studio space! This is not a complete post... I also photographed his 3 older siblings... but in the effort of keeping up with the blog... thought I'd just share these quick peeks for his Mommy here as well as my Facebook fan page! :) Enjoy!





Cutie-pie, showin' off!

Lauren- 3 Months Old... :: Abilene Children's Photographer, Sweetwater Photographer

Well right about now I'm congratulating myself for blogging 2 nights in a row!! I'm wondering if I can keep this momentum going and get back to blogging each session as I go?! Hmmmm... something to strive for!

So, this little lady-cakes is Lauren... and this session was in honor of her 3 month milestone! So fun to see her growing and changing... her little personality was just oozing all over the place as she cooed and giggled at her mommy!! We started in her nursery where she was super happy!! Being a 3 month old... the happy faded rather quickly and when we got to my little studio space she was sleepy and just not having it! Thankfully, I had a clear day so I sent the princess home to get her rest and they came back an hour or so later.... fresh, happy, and ready to show us some more of her sweet smiles! I'm so blessed to get to document her entire first year.... next time I see her for photos she'll be sitting up and maybe even scooting around!?! Time flies... ((sigh))!!?!

Loved this serious face!!!






So sweet... looking forward to playing with this gorgeous little antique stroller again at her 6 month session!!!









Love this face!!!!









Love it! I guess she was about done with me here! And how funny is her little crown bling!!?! Too cute!

Hadley- 19 Days New :: Abilene Newborn Photographer, Snyder Newborn Photographer

Well, the holiday madness is over and 2012 is underway already! Hard to believe it's January. Last holiday season was my busiest yet and that did not even include a jaunt to South Florida?! As much as I missed seeing all my clients at the beach, it was great to stay and focus my efforts here.

As usual, my blog get neglected when the volume of sessions ramps up. I need to collect some favorites from my late November/December sessions to share them with you here... but for now... I'd like to introduce you to Miss Hadley. This fuzzy little angel came to me 19 days old, and a week overdue... so really, it was like working with a baby that was almost a month old! For my fellow newborn photographers, you know that is not the easiest task that ever was! Hadley took her time making her debut and when she did, it was just in time for me to leave for Wisconsin for the holiday. Her mommy brought her to me just as soon as I returned and I must say... she did so very well for being completely out of that sleepy, curly newborn phase!!! As you can see from this preview... I kept the poses fairly simple... didn't move her too much once I got her comfy. It did NOT take much to wake her up!! Thank you Chelsea & Greg for sharing her with me! I bless you with sleep, the perfect latch, and some quiet family time in these early months together! :)

The princess shot!





Thanks to my sweet friend Jeanie Bohall who made this adorable pom-pom hat!! It was perfect for her!


Would you look at that fuzzy arm??! I just love it!


And thanks to the fabulous Studio412 Boutique for this adorable upcycled hat as well as the other sweet head bands and crown you see here! Whitney- you rock!! I can't resist your creations and may go broke one of these days! :)
