Ava

I've got such a treat for the blog today. This is Marinda, Grady, and their new little baby girl Ava. Marinda used to work with my husband and it had been years since I had seen her. I was so excited to hear that she was expecting a baby girl and that she thought of me for a newborn session. She knew that she wanted to utilize the outdoors as much as possible, so we decided to shoot the entire session outside! I have shot many newborn images outside, but I think this was the first time I attempted to shoot the entire session outdoors. Luckily, it was the perfect time of year so it was nice and toasty outside. We also had the perfect location, Marinda's parent's house, which was absolutely stunning. There were so many beautiful flowers and special little spots to shoot, and we ended things in a beautiful field as the sun was setting. I am so excited about the images we came away with. Marinda and Grady, congratulations on your new little girl. You all are such a sweet little family of three!

I have people ask me from time to time if I put the 'best' pictures on my blog for sneak peeks. Obviously, the 'best' images are all a matter of opinion anyways, but I usually love the ones I pick for different reasons. When I go to pick images to post, I'm usually picking from a pool of hundreds of images. I grab ones that stand out to me at that point in the process. But it's not really until I completely narrow down a collection that I even know 'my' favorites. This is the Walker family with their newest addition, Grant McKenly. With little Grant's newborn session, I honestly had the hardest time picking what to post. Newborn sessions are always so sweet anyways...who doesn't love a sweet little baby?! Add to that a sweet as can be baby boy with the most gorgeous head full of hair, beautiful parents who were as nice as they could be, an outdoor family portion on one of the prettiest evenings we've had in a long time, golden light, mix that all together, and its pretty hard! So, this is my attempt to pick a few images to share.
