As a mother, I’ve always found the last 2 months of pregnancy to draaaaag on! As if those 8 weeks are 200% longer than the first 32 were. This mama only has 8 weeks to go. The anticipation is building, that transition from holding your baby close to your heart and then holding them in your hands. To come face to face with a piece of you and discover if she looks anything like how you pictured her. I have no doubts baby Layla will be just as gorgeous as her mama

I think Miss Laney just gets cuter and cuter every time we see her. I mean, look at that hair! She’s such an easy-going baby too, all smiles and no tears. She’s on our Tales From the Crib baby plan, so you can also check out her Heads Up session and her newborn session!

This sweet baby girl was such a smiler! Which is sorta funny considering it took me nearly an entire year to get a smile from her big sister! We had a great time hanging out and letting her be the sleepy thing she was. Fingers crossed for mama that she sleeps tonight!!!

Oh, she’s back! This sweetie’s also on on Tales From the Crib baby plan. She looks so different and yet so similar from her newborn session, but she’d barely changed from her heads up session! Thank goodness we have a studio with photo lights.. this was done while it was pouring and dark outside. We filled the studio with light and the CUTEST sounds I’ve ever heard a baby make. Seriously, she makes this high pitched squeal of an “Aaaah!” every few minutes. SO cute.

This girl is quite the charmer, and right up my alley. Silly and yet sweet, wild and still has calm moments. Her session was fab and I can’t wait to see this family again!

Congratulations go out to the Reese family! This very big fellow was born 1:45am weighing in at 10lbs 6 oz.. but here’s the kicker.. he was born on Jan 1, making him the very first baby born in Athens Clarke County for 2012! He was the perfect baby for me at the studio. He woke up once in 45 minutes to look around and be fed, but that was it. Even big sister (whose name is Rhielle, how pretty is that?!?) was super sweet and did everything we asked. Thank goodness the session was fast too, or I think my arms would have fallen off holding this guy up. His daddy says “He’s meaty.”

I love that this year’s first session is a newborn! She was born about a month early right before Christmas, so she had quite the NICU stay before she was able to come in. Older brother just loves her to bits. LOVES her. She was tough to get to sleep because she just wanted to not miss a thing, but we finally got the best of her tired sleepy self. Daddy’s a firefighter right up the road at the Five Points fire station too!
