Meet Katherine Lawson {seeds: a newborn portrait}

Egg before the chicken? …I haven’t posted the maternity photos yet, but I have the sneak peeks of the newborn photos ready to share from my recent visit and portrait session in Tucson with Sarah, John, and their new little life form they have beautifully named Katherine.  And in the process, they have added new names for themselves: “Mommy” and “Daddy”.   I’m truly excited for every new parent…Sarah is a special one…we were randomly matched as roommates our freshman year at The University of Arizona in Tucson, and what a match it was.  Sarah is my closest friend, and she will always have a special place in my heart.

So, time to meet Katherine:

Baby Belle {a newborn portrait}

Baby Belle Godwin is the baby that really introduced my daughter, Sasha, to what a growing belly is all about.   Sasha was just about to turn three years old when her little sister was born, so she didn’t really understand my pregnancy.  She was a year-and-a-half older when her lead teacher, Ms. Carrie, started showing a little life form inside of her, and Sasha soaked it in.  So Baby Belle Elizabeth, as Sasha calls her, is a special one to my family as we watched her make a belly grow.  And she is an adorable one.

Baby Jacob {a newborn portrait}

A precious new life by the name of Jacob Reynolds entered the world about one month ago. I had the privilege of capturing some of his earliest moments.  Thank you, Kathleen and Mark, he’s beautiful!  I’m looking forward to watching him grow into that wonderfully wrinkly newborn skin of his.

Locally Designed, Adorable Baby Announcements are Here!

Kelly Ashworth, of Kelly Ashworth Design, has just announced a new line of baby announcements available for purchase  on her Etsy site.  Two of the sample cards feature babies I’ve photographed (with new names!).

I LOVE these designs, and the prices are amazing!  I might just have to have another baby so I can send out one of these cards myself.

And I hear she has more up her sleeve soon for Save the Dates… (not something I plan to do again…)

Newborn Portrait of Brody

Again, probably a little old to be considered a newborn, but here’s another adorable, little baby!  And I agree with his mom – Brody already looks like a little man.  Oh, so cute.

I’m looking forward to watching these two grow up together!

A “Newborn” Shoot

Little Ade’s mom, Heather, and I had a little trouble getting this newborn shoot scheduled, so it’s a older “newborn” shoot, definitely an adorable baby shoot from a few weeks ago… They grow so quickly!  He doesn’t look like this anymore, so here’s a reminder

Finally…my baby Maya’s birth announcement (with a picture this time)

Thanks to my wonderful hubby, we finally have our official birth announcement for Maya!
