Precious Baby Noah {Sneak Peek} !!!

I had the pleasure of photographing baby Noah this past week.  He was just days old at the time and SO precious.  He is definitely going to be a heart breaker one day!   He was such a good baby.  Hardly any crying, smiling here and there... and he loved looking at his daddy and mommy when he was awake.  He was so alert too, while he was awake.

We were going to photograph him in his crib, which was decorated SO cute with monkeys and beautiful colors... but... as any Newborn Photographer knows, you NEVER know when they might be ready to, um, use the facilities.  Either way, we captured beautiful images of Noah.  Melodie and Josh are such sweet parents.  You can see the love all over their faces... even when their changing stinky diapers.

Enjoy being parents... it's the best gift in the world.
Here's your {Sneak Peek}!!!

The Carson Family {Sneak Peek} !!!

I had the pleasure of photographing one of the sweetest families ever- The Carson Family.  They were so easy to photograph!  They are all photogenic, even little Ava Claire! ;D

As you can tell, this family is so in love with their new daughter and new sister, Ava Claire.  The entire time I was there, someone was loving on her, holding her or just smiling at her.  Valerie and Brad are so blessed to have such beautiful children.  And Ava Claire couldn't have come into this world to a more loving family...  You are all blessed.  Thank you for choosing me to capture your beautiful family!

Enjoy your {Sneak Peek}!

The Golden Family {Sneak Peek of precious Grace} !!!

Hello Everyone,
This is the Golden family... and they are more than just precious.  The parents are SO in love with their daughter, Grace.  I actually met this family through "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep".  They wanted images of their daughter, Grace, who was diagnosed with Occipital Encephalocele (and Karen, correct me if I spelled that wrong) while she was still in the womb.  Her parents, Karen and Chad, were not sure how long she would live or IF she would live THROUGH the birth.  So, I was there when she was born.  Ready to photograph every breath she took.  It was such an honor to be with this family during this very special and uncertain time.  


Since her birth 11 weeks ago, she has undergone surgery and recovered so well!  She is 11 weeks now!  Her parents, Karen and Chad wanted a Newborn Session of her.  And of course, I was so honored that they chose me to do this special session.  


It is absolutely amazing to me the love that parents have for their child/children.  And sometimes I sit in amazement while editing, thinking,  how amazing is it that Grace has such loving parents.  How amazing is it that Grace was given to them... the best gift they could ever ask for...

Thank you for choosing me to capture the story of your sweet family.  It has truly been an honor.  Love to you all, xoxo.  Below is your {Sneak Peek} of our Newborn Session!

Enjoy,
Andrea

Has it really been 4 (yes FOUR) MONTHS since I've written?!

Well, I can tell you why the delay.  We are expecting again!  And I've been very sick.  I've had to turn down sessions because this has been a very rough pregnancy.  4 months of utter SICKNESS.  All day.  And yes, I know it's worth it.  Every minute of it.


I'm much better now and back to work as much as I can before the baby comes.  I plan to take off again after the baby is born for a while.  But, I know I won't be able to stay away from my wonderful clients or camera for too long!


So, I will be posting a lot more.  I feel so bad that it has been this long since my last post!  But, when you're ill, what can ya' do?


And no, we do not know the sex of this baby.  It will be our last real surprise of the year... I hope. ;)


Love to you all...

Meet Sailor. {She stole my heart}

This is Sailor and she is the most precious baby girl!  She has the prettiest blue eyes.  {And yes, I know they will probably change!}

But, my goodness, she is over 9 lbs. of PURE JOY!  I had such a fun session with her.  She was such a good baby and even smiled for the camera a few times. ;D

Parker Cruz {Big Brother} is so fascinated with her.  He is so in LOVE with her too.  She will have no problem having a "big brother" look out for her in the future. !!!  ha
