Sweet little lady| Northwest Arkansas Newborn Photographer

These are such bittersweet photos for me! This precious little baby is my cousin’s newest little doll. Isn’t she gorgeous? She was so wonderful to work with, too. I loved the entire session. They are bittersweet because they make me realize that my own little baby is growing so fast! We are actually in the middle of weaning and I’m a great big ball of hormonal hot mess! I go back and forth between anticipating all the things I’ll be able to do that I haven’t been able to enjoy in the recent past, like weekends away with my hubby or a girls’ night out, but then I’ll start to feel guilty that my little, tiny baby won’t need me as much anymore. Waa waa waa. I’m such a sap right now!!

Back to this little baby! This little bundle of girly newness with adorable little lips and sweet lashes. Did I mention how easy she was for me to pose? She was a little dream.

I told you! Pure, sweet baby goodness. I’m so happy for my cousin and her family!!

And this makes me anxious for my brother’s newest baby to arrive soon!

I had a desire to do an outdoor maternity session for quite sometime. I wanted something in a field with pretty light. The opportunity finally presented itself and I fell in love. It was a happy thing for the session to happen when it did because four short days after these photos were taken, the baby decided to come a wee bit early! I should be doing his newborn session later this week.

We also did a few in the studio as well.

I can’t wait to take the little guy’s photos!

This little guy was so precious! As the mother of four kiddos who had no hair until they were at least two, I’m always amazed to see babies with hair, especially so young.

Don’t you just want to cuddle him?

Baby lips are so adorable!!

We even got a little grin from him.

Playing on the bed. Taking photos. Getting cuddles. Life is good.

She’ll be four months in a week. Surely that isn’t possible.

I don’t want to forget:

Sweet baby grins full of gums
clutching my shirt in a tiny fist
staring up at me with sleepy eyes
little coos and grunts
smacking and sucking on tiny fingers

A friend recently brought her adorable daughter over for a quick mini-session. She was such a happy baby and gave us such wonderful smiles!!

I think this tutu begged for some fun processing. Isn’t it sweet?

Oh, how I love this family! I’ve had the pleasure of taking their engagement photos as well as their wedding. Now I got to take photos of their sweet baby girl. I’m having internet problems again at my house so this is going to be a short entry since I’m at a local hotspot. I promised I’d get the sneak peek up before Christmas. I’ll edit it once I get the internet back at my own home. Until then, just enjoy the sweetness of this beautiful family!

Look at those eyes! And her lashes were probably the longest I’ve ever seen. I have to admit I’m a little jealous of them with my own short, blonde lashes.

I hope to have my internet issues resolved, a sneak peek of a lovely wedding, and a few fun photos from my girls’ birthday party up on the blog soon. Happy Holidays to all!!

Now, first of all, let me say that I’m so glad that I’m much better at this with babies who belong to other people! My little peanut would NOT go to sleep no matter what tricks I tried to pull. Out of an almost three hour session, I only got a super small handful of photos that I like. I did, however, get these two that I just LOVE. And that makes it all worth it for me.

Hard to believe that she was supposed to be born this Wednesday but instead will be almost a month old! I can’t believe it sometimes.

Meet Leighton, one of the toughest little guys I know. And he is really cute, too!

A little back story. I met Leighton and his mommy, Laine, through my sister. Autumn was the assistant director of the daycare that was the sister company to Laine’s dance studio, Kaleidoscope Dance Academy. Autumn encouraged us to enroll Tatum into the dance studio shortly after we moved back to Arkansas, which we did, and we love. Despite being at the studio every week, it was a couple of months before I finally met Laine face to face. Why? Because not only had Baby Leighton been born early, he also had Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. Basically, the left side of his heart did not develop properly. Because of this, his mommy spent most of her time at Children’s Hospital in Little Rock. In fact, Leighton spent the first seven months of his life at Children’s. The little Tin Man, as his family calls him, had a pretty tough road to travel along, but on the 5th of February, Leighton received the best gift- he received a new heart. As you are about to see, he is doing so very well. He is a special little guy and I was very honored to be able to take his portraits.

(I’m trying out a few new ways to display photos on the blog. I think I like how it looks!)

Oh, Leighton, you are just too cute!

Are they not one of the most beautiful families you’ve ever seen? And super nice, too. Some people get all the luck.

I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek, Laine. I’ll have the rest ready for you as soon as possible. See you at dance!

Last week I posted from the hospital where I had just documented the birth of my newest nephew. This week, when he was only seven little days old, I got to do his newborn session. Newborns are challenging to work with under normal circumstances, but man are they hard when it involves my family! Just imagine my kids running around with my niece and nephew as the baby was sleeping all while I was trying to get some shots. A lot of the outtakes from the outdoor photos had little feet running in the background from some child playing where we told them not to play! (Only BEHIND the camera, guys!) It was well worth it, though, because just look at this little guy!! He’s adorable.

These two are SO proud, can’t you tell?

I couldn’t decide between posting this one in color or black and white, but I decided on the black and white. Isn’t it sweet? He was really happy in the wrap, so we left him in it for most of the session.

He is just so cuddly and sweet!! Almost can’t believe we’ll have a little baby in THIS house at the end of the year. Wow. I can’t wait to do those newborn photos.
