Gibson’s mama contacted me many months ago asking me to take photos of her baby boy that would be coming in May.  I was so excited and humbled to hear they would be traveling from Royal Oak, Michigan and was tickled to hear of how she found me—through the Matilda Jane website!  www.matildajaneclothing.com  I am listed as a photographer on the website and so excited that it has helped an awesome new client find their way to me.

Baby Gibson was an angel, and sister Avery is just perfection.  This is a huge photo overload, but I just had so many favorites, I had a hard time narrowing it down.  Enjoy!

Darcie….thank you so much for bringing in your beautiful baby boy to see me!  I loved every minute of it!  You have such a beautiful family….please bring them in to see me again soon!  <3

I thought I would be able to get this up before I left for my weekend workshop but I never got to sit down all weekend long, much less post anything!   Katie I am sorry to make you wait, but here is a little something to keep you tied over for a few more days.  Enjoy!

This sweet baby girl came to see me this week and I couldn’t resist posting just one for Mom and Dad.  More to come soon!

I was just giddy with excitement over this session!  Little Graysen was SOOO good to me, he slept when he needed to, curled up when he needed to and posed like a champ.  He is just precious and I really do want to keep him.  Jen and Brian…thank you so much.  I am in love with your little bird and will take him off your hands any time at all  

Warning, very large share.  I have so many favorites from this session!

Jen just looks absolutely beautiful here.  

Proud Daddy

One of my absolute fav’s….sooo beautiful ?

He is SOOO tiny!

And he likes to smile…..  :)

And a little plug for their business….. Daddy works for the family greenhouse, Creque’s Greenhouse.  Check them out at

Jen brought this crate along to the session and it was PERFECT!

Coming up….lots more babies!

Just a quickie.  Mommy and Daddy drove all the way from Royal Oak to see me last week and I just read on facebook that the daddy of these beautiful children is celebrating his birthday today so I thought I would post just two of my favorites.  :)  A full post will be coming up shortly, stay tuned.

There are many of you emailing and asking to see photos of our booth at the Toledo Baby Expo….if you are a fan on facebook, you have already seen these, if not…here they are.  Make sure to fan me if you’re not already!!

The Expo was a HUGE success and I am so very pleased with how it all came together.  We got a fantastic response from booth visitors and fellow vendors, yay!

I have a few giveaways coming up soon, I’m still trying to get it all together.  So stay tuned!  Thank you again Toledo and to all my FABUOUSLY awesome and beautiful clients! <3

So I know I promised more blog posts but I promise you, I have been so busy….but it’s all good things.  Here is another blog post that I owe you, and it makes me so happy to share these images with you.  This beautiful, petite little mama is Jen.  Jen and I have known each other for a few years now, so I was elated when she contacted me to do her maternity and newborn photos.  She said she hadn’t had any photos taken at all while she’d been pregnant and I didn’t understand why….isn’t she just beautiful?  She looks AMAZING pregnant and these photos show off that sweet belly so well.  I get to meet her baby boy on SATURDAY already, since he was born just a couple of days ago…I am so excited.

Enough talking….meet Jen

And one more…..just because ?

Isn’t she GORGEOUS????

I hope to see you there!!

Kristal is an awesome past client of mine and responded to my casting call for newborns to beef up my site.   Baby Cole came just a few short days later, and came by storm.  Mama’s water broke at 10-something pm at home, and baby came soon after at 11-something pm at the hospital.  He was in a hurry, and he was a big boy–10 lbs, 6 oz!  Yay Mama!!

I am In. LOVE. with these photos….his sweet hair, the rolls of baby chub on his arm…..he was so good to me and we got some great shots.  Thanks K for bringing him in, I hope you love these as much as I do. ??

World……meet Cole

A few weeks ago Ava and I had the chance to work with Lisa, owner and creator of My Sweetpea and Company.  I was so excited when she contacted us because we just love her bows and hats!  She produces some VERY good quality stuff, and Ava was THRILLED to model Lisa’s new product—the bottlecap necklace!  

Please head on over and check her out at http://www.mysweetpeaandcompany.com (sorry, the html code isn’t working tonight!) and let her know that I sent you!  

And some photos just for me…..how did she get to be so big?  Her beauty inside and outside just steals my breath away. ?

Happy February!  And Happy (almost) Valentine’s Day!  I hope each and every one of you are spending this weekend with the one’s you love most <3 <3 <3

We had a couple snow days this past week, and it sounds like most of the country has had the same!  YAY for snow!!!  Snow is GORGEOUS for outdoor pictures, so if you would like a snow session, please email me before it all melts.

Right now I am starting a Fresh Faces campaign for NEWBORNS!  I need some new newborn faces to update my portfolio so if you are expecting or have JUST had a baby, please contact me asap!    

What do you get?

A free newborn session and 8×10–a $140 value.  Baby must be 10 days old or younger and you must be willing to sign a model release.

I am also looking for twin newborns as well!

A post isn’t a post without a picture….so here are a few that I haven’t blogged yet of a sweet little newborn baby boy.
