It was my honor to witness & capture the birth of Wellington Rupp, very lucky son to the amazing Bryan & Leah Rupp.
I will do a whole post and slide show about the birth and what I captured sometime soon. I am still completely emotional and moved that I got to be a part of this amazing experience. Welcome to the world Welly, you are oh so loved.

Meet Jocelyn
She might be the most delicious sleepy curly newborn I have ever had the pleasure of working with. This little lady was SO GOOD TO ME. I could have pointed my lens at her all day. Miss J was welcomed to the world by her ever so handsome big brother, and super sweet mom & dad. The entire family was just a joy to work with.
Here are a few of my favorites so far:
The whole family was just adorable. We shot these in their beautiful back yard.
Big brother was super gentle and patient with the wiggly little sister. I love his smile here, it is like he telling her a special secret. 
These two are going to have tons of fun together I can already tell.
Daddy & big brother had an adventure of their own to head out to while we girls stayed and took more photos. I just had to get one of the boys together before they left.
A kiss goodbye for baby girl. I love the combo of tiny baby and strong daddy hands. 
After the boys left we got to the proper newborn photos. Baby J was so sleepy and curly. She let me do just about anything!
Such a beautiful little girl, just look at that sweet face. 
And those lips! 
I had been waiting for a girl to break out my new flower headband, she is so sweet and soft it was perfect. 
Of course we had to add mama into the mix. You can tell where baby J gets her sweet profile from for sure. 
And one last one of our little princess. If you look close you can see just a tiny bit of milk on her delicate baby lips. It just melts me.
Kimberlee thanks for having me out to meet your precious family. I enjoyed meeting you all, you have some over the top adorable kids. I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek.

Meet Mr. Jonah, he is just one of the cutest little dudes of all time. When his mommy contacted me to set up a newborn session we had to get things rolling quickly. Babies get bigger and change so quickly at this age, I did not want to miss out on the teeny tiny times with this little guy. I was lucky enough to meet this sweet boy and his parents late last week. We had a great time talking baby, snapping some photos and loving on Jonah.
Here are a few of my favorites so far:
The cute little guy did not want to sleep for me. I pulled out all the stops and still no sleep, little bugger. Though I have to say he was quite mellow and sweet for me. Just look at those eyes, how could you ever say no to that face! 
I love me some tiny baby bits! 
Jonah did not know what to think of my silly hats, such a sweet pea. 
Ok here he was just making fun of me. “you want me to sleep lady, yeah right!”
Clearly there is no shortage of love in this household. Just look at handsome daddy & beautiful mama.
Ah ha! He sleeps! A little mama’s milk and love from the parents did it. He looks so peaceful here. 
The whole family is just lovely, again so much love for this lucky little guy. 
Is there anything better than a sleeping smiling baby? 
Even in his sleep he wiggled for me. 
And one last photo of the little dapper fellow. Such a sweet baby.
Jodi & Tom thanks for having me out to capture your little one. He was a joy, even when he was being a little bugger. I had a great time meeting you all! I will have the whole set very soon. I hope you enjoyed the peek. And of course as new clients I like to throw down the comment challenge. If you can get 25 to comment on this little post you will received a sweet little wallet brag book on the house. SO leave some love people!

This past week I had the pleasure of meeting the adorable miss Ella. A session with her was a gift to her mama from some lovely old friends of mine. I have been looking forward to meeting the little lady for a while now. Let me tell you, while small & pretty new to this world, this little lady completely stole my heart. Beautiful, spunky & sweet this little girl was a joy to capture.
Here are a few of my favorites from out session together.
When I arrived miss Ella was awake and ready to play. I usually like my newborns sleepy but with those beautiful eyes I was happy I got to capture her baby blues!
after a little playing Ella needed a diaper change. Clearly she is set on being a super hero when she grows up with a pose like this!
after a clean diaper, a little super hero work, and mama’s milk Ella was ready to snooze for me. And such a sweet sleeping baby she is! I loved every little bit of her, from her curl-hawk to her toes. 
sweet sleepy baby even gave me some smiles. 
once she was out she was out! I think little miss Ella likes sleeping in the sun. 
clearly she also loved my new red blanket. Just look at that smile. 
Ella also loves her beautiful mama Melissa. I have to agree, she is pretty wonderful. 
and daddy too of course. The family is in the middle of a construction project these days so daddy’s got some hard working hands. I just loved the contrast of her soft skin in them. 
the whole family was just wonderful to hang out with. 
and one last one of the new family. Ella clearly has it made don’t you think?!
Melissa thanks for having me out to capture your darling little girl. I just loved meeting all 3 of you! I hope you like your peek. I will have the whole set soon! Melissa I would also love to offer you a little blog challenge. If you can get 25 people to comment on this little post I will throw in a cute little wallet brag book on me. Perfect for showing off a cute little baby when you go back to work. So leave some love folks.
