Picture Happy

Pictures are worth a thousand words (so if you want the word version scroll down to the last post ;)

A Summer Night

"The simplest things are most often the truest..." - unknown

Last night we ventured out to the Demerly's farm for a quiet night of sunshine and animals. It was the first time I had gone anywhere in a week and it was so peaceful to just walk (slowly) around their farm with my camera in hand. These pictures are worth more than the words I could say about them so I'll just let this post be picture-heavy.

Haddie Lounds // Newborn

“The delicate fingers, the wrinkled toes, oh the wonders of a baby that the mother knows.” – Anonymous

I was absolutely thrilled when I got an email from Mallorie a few weeks before she was due to have her baby. I had been wanting to do a newborn shoot so badly and now I had one on the calendar for 5-12 days after their little girl was born. I could hardly contain myself when I got the announcement that she had arrived and found it especially hard to concentrate at work the morning before the shoot. I had used the excuse of having this scheduled to finally buy a bean bag (with liquid resistant fabric) and a soft, plus, queen-sized blanket. I was so ready to try out my new props!

She slept for the first half of the shoot and then wanted to look at her family for the rest of it. It was all so precious! Here are some of the images from the session. I enjoyed watching Haddie's family interact with her and how it is so obvious that they love her. She is a cherished little sister and daughter.
