Baby Mac

I've been dying to post some of these images since the morning I took them. When I got home and starting going through them, I couldn't resist posting just one. Today, I'm glad to be following up with the rest for a proper sneak peek. This sweet little guy is McConnell Charles...otherwise know as Mac. I think it is the best name, and it seems to suit him just perfectly. This session was given to these new parents as a baby gift (newborn sessions make great baby gifts!), and after hearing the news that baby Mac had arrived, we set up a time for his first photo shoot. I arrived at Ashley and Alan's house and was so excited to see the sweet boy. He was sleeping soundly in his bassinet, and I couldn't wait to start shooting away. Mac was just perfect the entire time. He slept pretty soundly the whole time I was there, and if he was awake, he was so calm and just looked all around taking everything in. He had the sweetest little baby lips, lots of smiles, and I loved his head full of hair. These two parents were also some of the sweetest, most laid back, first time parents I have ever met. They let me do whatever I wanted, and I think they even got a few things done while I spent time with Mac! Ashley and Alan, thank you so much for the opportunity to capture little Mac's first few days. He is just as sweet as can be.

a few new faces

I love meeting new families! I never know quite what to expect (especially since I tend to correspond primarily through email), but I'm like an excited little kid when I'm on my way to meet a new family for the first time. I also love introducing a new family on my blog. So...here we go. Meet the Tomlinsons. I headed to this family's home for their session, and as soon as mom Leslie opened the door, I knew it was going to be great. She had on the cutest navy dress paired with some fun yellow jewelry and was super warm and welcoming. Then I met Ben, Norah, and dad Scott. Everyone was dressed just perfectly, and Ben and Norah couldn't have been any cuter. Ben turned 6 just a few days after our session and has the sweetest little smile. Norah will be 3 in June and I could just eat her up...such a pretty little girl with the cutest little curls. Im not sure these two knew quite was to expect intially, but before long, I think they knew I was there to have a little fun. We spent our time wandering around their beautiful property that made for the perfect backdrop for some family pictures. We ran, played, tickled, and laughed the entire time. I also got the most beautiful bouquet of yellow flowers to take home with me thanks to these sweet kids. Scott and Leslie, thank you so much for allowing me to spend some time with your family and for being so wonderful to work with. Here's just a taste of what we came up with.
