Baby Mathis- Newborn First Hours

So, my best friends had a baby. Outside of having my own sweet babies, it was probably one of the sweetest things I have ever gotten to be a part of. It was quite a new experience, being the one out in the waiting room! What a beautiful night!

Thanks Jess & Jarod, for blessing us all with your gorgeous baby Mathis. He is beyond perfect in every single way, and I love him so much already!

Harry & Kyle- Family

I had a wonderful fall evening with Harry, Kyle and their beautiful children. They sweet kids could not have been any cuter, or truly, any bigger hams! They were so full of life, it made the evening so much fun. Here are some of my favorite shots from our time together.

Thanks for sharing your family with me for a short while!

Fall mini sessions are here!

Jess & Jarod- Maternity

It was an honor to snap some pictures of my very best friends, Jess and Jarod. They are welcoming baby Mathis into the family come October, and I simply cannot wait! What a blessing they have been to my life, and certainly they will be to Mathis' as well.

 Congratulations friends, I can't wait to watch our families grow together!

baby Cannon

He's here, he's here! Sweet baby Cannon made his arrival into the world on July 27th, and his family couldn't be happier to have him here finally. I was lucky enough to snag some pictures of the little guy yesterday, when he was only 9 days old. He is still so, so tiny, and incredibly precious too!

Thanks for sharing cannon with me for just a little while. He is perfect in every single way. Congratulations to your whole family, Chip and Kim!

John & Casey

It was such a privilege to shoot with John and Casey. We met at Gratz Park on a beautiful evening, and we were thankful for a slight breeze, despite the humidity! They had some seriously cute ideas, we had such a great time. And when I tell you Casey is pregnant with twins, you are not going to believe me! Then again, anyone who knows Casey already knew she would carry them perfectly. She definitely has that maternal glow!

 Thanks for letting me be a part of your special time, I cannot wait to meet those precious babies this fall!

Chip, Kim, & Trey

What a fun family to photograph! With the goal of getting a few quick family photos in before this adorable family of three becomes a family of four, we headed back to Henry Clay Estates. The heat was a little much, but that didn't stop us. Kim was such a trooper despite being 37 weeks pregnant! Can you believe it? She has to have the cutest belly I have ever seen. We had a great time and got some great shots to boot! Even Bella played along for awhile. I cannot wait to meet sweet little Cannon Joseph soon, I know he'll be just as precious as his big brother Trey!

Laurelei & Abbott

It was a gorgeous day to photograph Laurelei and Abbott at Henry Clay Estates here in Lexington. The weather was just right, one of those warm, but not too hot, summer evenings. What a great historic backdrop we had too! I just wish the gardens had been open so we could have explored them inside and out. What cuties!
