Client Exclusive Family-Mini Sessions | Mobile, AL

May 16, 2018

I’ve met and photographed SO many wonderful families over the years! One thing I realized is that I never stop thinking about them. I can’t help but wonder just how much their little ones have grown. Many have contacted me with requests for family sessions or milestone sessions beyond the first year. I’ve always been so excited to hear from them, that I made sure to squeeze them in. I’ve enjoyed every single one of those sessions. SO – I’m excited to announce that semi-annual family mini-sessions and milestones beyond one year will now be a regular offering!

Because my clients are so special to me, this is exclusively for you! Twice a year – in the spring and in the fall – I will offer family mini-sessions to previous and existing clients. Also, milestone sessions beyond one year will be available to you upon request. I absolutely love being able to catch up with “my” families and watch your little miracles grow well beyond their first year. Dates and availability will be limited and varied. I’m super excited about this and looking forward to catching up with everyone again soon!

Here are a few of my favorites from some recent family sessions. (And a 2 year milestone, too!) If you’re a past or current client and would like more information on family mini-sessions, or would like to book a milestone session, please let me know. Enjoy!

Strong Baby Boy | Mobile, AL Newborn Photography

April 16, 2018

Spring has surely sprung around here. And with it we’ve had so much going on… I’m happy to FINALLY have the chance to show you more of Little A. I’ve already had the pleasure of sharing his birth story, and fresh 48 session. Now I get to share photos from his simple newborn session! He was 13 days new on this glorious day, and just as dashing as ever.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I’ve got to say I love how every baby and every photo session is different. As I mentioned before, Little A is at the top of my most alert baby list. I followed this little man’s cues and ended up with some awesome awake photos — plus a few blinks. 😉 Doesn’t he have some of the brightest brown eyes, ever?! He fell asleep toward the end, I and I was finally able to capture him sleeping peacefully. I knew his mama really wanted him photographed in this basket – a connection to the home they moved from… to his roots. I absolutely love how they turned out!

Little A, I am so happy to have met you and your family. Their love for you was nearly tangible. It was such a blessing being able to photograph the beginning of your life story. I know your stay in Mobile was brief… I do so hope our paths cross again some day. Just as your name suggests, you’re such a strong little man. I have no doubt you are meant for great things, and I have no doubt your parents will be with you every step of the way.

Here are just a few highlights from strong Little A’s simple newborn session. And if you’d like to inquire about a session or Grow With me Plan for yourself, I’d be happy to hear from you. Enjoy!

Going Home | Gulf Coast First 48 Hospital Newborn Photography Mobile

February 15, 2018

It’s time to see some more of Mr. A and his family – this time with him 2.5 days new. 🙂 His hospital newborn session is a bit unique in that we timed it to take place as they were going home. A super exciting time, though something little A wasn’t quite sure of.

Let me start by saying that this handsome fellow’s name means “strong”, which fits him perfectly. He has got to be at the tippy top of my most alert babies list. From his birth, all the way to the last 20ish minutes of his newborn session, I only saw him awake. He certainly wants to know what’s going on, and doesn’t want to be left out of anything. I do believe he could tell there was something different about this day, that something new was about to happen. He wasn’t too keen on being laid down, so there were lots of mommy and daddy cuddles going on. I absolutely love how every session is different. When following the cues and needs of small children, how could they not? Because really, I allow the little ones to guide the direction I take. The result is a gallery just as unique as my client and their family.

As I mentioned when sharing A’s birth session, he had a newborn session as well, which took place when he was thirteen days new. I am honored to have been able to capture so many great moments and details of the beginning of his story, and can’t wait to share more of his Grow With Me photos with you.

Until then, here are some highlights from his fresh 48 session. Enjoy!

Welcoming Baby Boy | Birth Photography Mobile, AL

February 14, 2018

Happy Valentine’s Day! What a perfect day to share this little guy’s birth story. After all, the love parents have for their children is one of the greatest loves ever. It was a privilege to be among those welcoming baby A into this world. I can hardly believe it was four months ago!

Little A has a pretty awesome birth story, I’d say. His mama contacted me months in advance. She and her husband knew they would be moving to the area and wanted to make sure and find a birth photographer to capture the big moments and little details surrounding the birth of their first child. Even though I had plans to be out of town the weekend before her due date, this mama had a good feeling and decided to take her chances. Fast forward to the week before… We were in the middle of one of the busiest hurricane seasons we’ve seen here on the Gulf Coast in quite a while. A tropical storm quickly turned into Hurricane Nate, and I canceled my out of town plans. It’s a good thing, too. Because wouldn’t you know — this mama went into labor the night Nate made landfall! Thankfully it was a relatively small hurricane and blew out quickly. The sun was shining by the time I went to the hospital that afternoon. Labor was long, though this mama stayed strong the entire time. She had her birth plan in place and stuck to it. With the help and support of her amazing husband and dedicated doula, she managed a natural birth without pain medication. Having done the same with my youngest, I couldn’t praise her enough for the wonderful job she did. Such a strong little man for his super strong mama and super proud daddy.

I’m so excited to share a glimpse of little A’s birth story with you. Please join me in welcoming him. This love story is full of preparation, anticipation, anxiousness, excitement, struggle (some pain), and ultimately overwhelming joy. Fair warning… there are a bit more photos than usual, since I had a difficult time choosing which parts of the story to share. 😉 You’ll get to hear more about this awesome family and see some more of A in the near future, too. I customized my Grow With Me Plan to fit his mama’s needs, so stay tuned for their fresh 48 and a newborn sessions on the blog soon. 🙂

Here are some highlights from his birth story. Enjoy! (And if you would like to schedule a birth session, please contact me.)

At Home Newborn Session | Baby Photographer Mobile, AL

January 17, 2018

I hope you’re all managing to stay warm on these uncharacteristically cold days we’ve been having. To bring a little ray of sunshine your way, here’s little N. 🙂 This handsome boy was right at 30 days new for his lifestyle newborn session!

I had such a great time photographing Mr. N at his home this fall. Since he was right at four weeks old, we knew going into the session that N might not sleep as soundly or curl up quite as tightly as younger newborns — meaning posed shots would be limited. Instead, our goal was to focus mainly on the connections he shared with his mama and daddy in his own little corner of the world – the place he was first brought home to – a place that will forever be special and remembered. And we did just that. Lifestyle newborn photos are some of my absolute favorites. They are the ones that really pull on my heart strings. Seeing a family’s obvious attachment and adoration of their newest member… Seeing their faces and capturing the way they look at this tiny miracle… Even the way they touch and hold onto him, and breathe in his presence… It can’t duplicated. These moments are just as unique as their little baby. And I find it powerful to capture those moments to be relived and cherished forever. After all, they’re this small only once.

Little N — I simply want to thank you for being you. Thank you for being a ray of sunshine, and bringing so much happiness to the world. Anyone who sees these photos will be able to see just how happy and proud your parents are that you’re here. You truly are a gift. Remember that.

Here are just a few highlights from this new baby boy’s session. And if you’d like to inquire about having a newborn session for your own miracle, I’d be happy to hear from you. Enjoy!
