It truly is amazing how fast time goes by! Mr. C. came to see me for his 4 month photo session and he has changed SO much from his newborn session. He has a sweet little personality, LOVES his mom and looks just like his dad!

Thank you so much to the L. family for the opportunity to photograph your little guy again! I can’t wait to see you in the future!

I have photographed many more newborn boys than I have girls since I started newborn photography. Recently I had a few boys all of whom had names that started with a C! So here is another Mr. C. for you I am so glad that I had the opportunity to photograph this little guy, he is so sweet and was such a good sleeper! I was able to get his entire session done in under 2 hours and he didn’t make a peep once!

Thank you so much to his mom and grandpa for making the trip to my studio! It was such a pleasure to work with you

Happy Mother’s Day

I am a mother to three amazing children. They can often be loud, talkative, energetic, carefree souls. I am frequently told “oh my, you have your hands full!” and my response is always “better full than empty!”. I never thought I would be a mother, it wasn’t something I wanted for myself when I was younger. Now, I can’t imagine how empty and quiet my life would be. I am blessed beyond measure to be a mother!

A mother will always protect you, guide you, forgive you & love you.

“All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.”
- Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

It takes some one really brave to be a mother, someone strong to raise a child and someone special to love someone more than herself.

Mothers hold their children’s hands for a short while, but their hearts forever.

The art of mothering is to teach the art of living to children. -Elaine Heffner

Sometimes the laughter in mothering is the recognition in the ironies and absurdities. Sometimes, though, it’s just pure unthinking delight.” -Barbara Schapiro

More than in any other human relationship, overwhelmingly more, motherhood means being instantly interruptible, responsive, and responsible.” -Tillie Olsen

“The mother loves her child most divinely, not when she surrounds him with comfort and anticipates his wants, but when she resolutely holds him to the highest standards and is content with nothing less than his best.” -Hamilton Wright Mable

“The mother’s heart is the child’s schoolroom.” -Henry Ward Beecher

April was a very busy month with newborns, especially with newborn boys! Mr. C. was on my expectant baby list for a while and I even had the opportunity to photograph his mom’s maternity pictures Mr. C. came earlier than expected and had a rough start to life. He parents took it all in stride and they are such naturals with him. You would never know that Mr. C. is their first and I just know they will be amazing parents!

Thank you so much T. family for making the drive to my studio! I am so glad that you have your baby home and in your arms!

Oh baby J….. I have been waiting on this little guy for a long time. His Aunt bought a gift certificate for baby J.’s mom and dad and it was exciting to wait for his arrival since I hadn’t spoken to his parents. He was such a dream to work with and such a handsome baby boy!

Thank you so much B. family for taking the time to come out to my studio! J. is just adorable and I know you are excited to watch him grow!

How darling is Miss B.?! I loved having the opportunity to work with her and she is too cute! One thing I noticed about Miss B. is her very long hands, fingers, feet and toes. Oh my goodness, you could just eat her up

Thank you so much to Miss B’s mom and her friend for coming out to my studio and for the opportunity to photograph Miss B.!

Newborn 1:1 Mentoring Part 4 {Indianapolis, IN ~ Newborn Mentoring}

elisabet — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:21:12 +0000

Miss A. was our last baby of our Newborn Mentoring and she was just perfection! She was our youngest model at just 3 days old and just out of the hospital! She is the youngest baby I have ever photographed and the most sleepy baby too I wish all babies slept through sessions like she did, it was heaven! I’m so grateful that her mom wanted to come out to the studio that soon after giving birth!

Newborn 1:1 Mentoring Part 3 {Indianapolis, IN ~ Newborn Mentoring}

elisabet — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:09:13 +0000

On day 2 of mentoring we started our day out with Miss H.! She was 11 days new and too cute! Mom and Dad both said she hates to be naked, but parents say that all of the time and I work my baby magic and the babies never mind being naked Well, Miss H. was the exception to that! She really didn’t like to be naked and I could only get her naked for a few minutes at a time before she was just over it. It’s fine that she wanted to be covered up, it gave us extra time to work on newborn wrapping. I LOVE to wrap babies up and she was the perfect little model during our time together! Thank you so much to her parents for bringing her out to my studio!
