Maddox

It's been quite some time since I got my hands on a brand new baby.  Maddox gave me a quick refresher course, demonstrating that the baby rules the roost and the photo session despite my best intentions.  Even though I arrived with a ton of props in tow, Maddox had other ideas.  He wanted to be snuggled by mom and dad instead.  And Maddox showed me that he, in fact, knows best.

These images capture closeness.  I played around with perspective, and was able to get some fun images taken from above while mom and dad held Maddox.  Others show pride beaming from mom and dad's faces.  One problem I had was getting some images in color.  For some reason, black and white was just speaking to me this evening.  In the end, no posed photo with cute, fluffy props could have produced these sweet images.  Thanks, Maddox, for the reminder.

Jennifer and Jason may have welcomed this little nugget only a couple of weeks ago, but wow, they have everything under control.  Both of them were so calm and steady throughout our session.  And I was completely impressed by how sparkly clean their house was, not that I would judge them if it wasn't.  My first couple of weeks...oh, heck, let me be honest, my first five and a half years with my daughter have been a constant struggle to walk through the house without stepping on something kid-related.  Great job, mom and dad!  You're both way ahead of me!

On a serious note, this super sweet cutie is a blessing and, quite frankly, a miracle to this family.  When some people worry about growing their family at just the right time, maybe when they get the perfect house, the perfect job, etc., others are blessed with a precious gift when the timing is unexpected and, well, perfect.  Maddox is the perfect baby for these wonderful parents at just the right time.  Many blessings to them always!

Please join me in welcoming sweet Maddox to the world and in congratulating Jennifer and Jason on a beautiful and healthy baby boy.  Hopefully, one day both of you will look back at these images and remember just how small your baby boy was in your arms.  He is simply perfect.  Thank you for giving me the privilege to capture these moments.

Splash Pad!

Play date number 2 is in the books!  Two play dates within one week!  Ashley, we're killing it!  :)   We met up at Rotary Park in Johnson City to have fun at the new splash pad.  When we drove up, I was a little worried about the crowd because the parking lot was -FULL- but it wasn't that bad.  We just plopped our bags and towels down in the pretty astroturf and got to playing.  It was a beautiful, hot day, so the water was a great idea.  Except I had to remind myself that I had a camera in my hands!  I found myself fascinated with the motion of the water, so I tried to get in as close as I could to capture the movement.  I was also happy to see how blissfully happy the girls were while playing.  Izzy completely let loose as soon as we arrived.  I love that this girl can have so much fun no matter what we do.  Cousin Hazen joined us, but I don't know that she had as much fun as Izzy and Lexie.  She did, however, introduce the girls to different types of fidget spinners

Ice Pops, Splash Pads, and Creeks

I've not posted in a few days, but that doesn't mean I haven't been shooting.  I'm trying to make a habit of photographing some moment every day, no matter how seemingly insignificant.  Sometimes I don't get much, but sometimes I do.   Izzy has a neighbor friend that she plays with often, and it seems like every time they play, they eat.  This particular day brought them ice pops and confetti cake.  These two love to play together and the boy has never met a stranger.  He cracks me up with his "Hey!" whenever we see him.  He makes himself at home well, too.  Such a fun kid.   Next, we had another play date with Lexie!  At another splash pad!  We have a few more to visit before we can say we've conquered them all in our area.  This one was at Steele Creek Park in Bristol.  While I like Bristol, and I like Steele Creek Park, I prefer Rotary Park in Johnson City.  Plus, there is a drainage problem here, so o

Lincoln

One thing I love about this hobby of mine is that I am starting to meet new people.  Coming into a stranger's house, asking to rearrange furniture, and taking over control of their brand-spanking new baby just doesn't seem to be polite at all, but for some reason, it works!  I really appreciate the trust that Amy and Derek gave to me while I was able to capture some super cute shots of their sweet Lincoln.  Even though Lincoln is only two weeks new, Momma and Daddy were already perfectly comfortable with their new addition.  They are pros already, which is much more than I can say for myself and my husband when our Izzy was only two weeks old. Lincoln was so sweet, and he was prepared for his session.  I left saying that this was probably the easiest newborn session I've ever had; I even got it done in record time!  I might be going out on a limb here, but I think that has to be a good sign for the parents.  It was truly my privilege to get to capture these moments, and
