{Sleeping Willow} Mckinney- Allen- Frisco Newborn Photographer

I had the joy of photographing her mama's maternity session as well as her birth, so I was so excited to finally get to snuggle and love this sweet girl. She was an angel for our session and I was so glad her mama and daddy were flexible as I was called to a birth the first time I tried to do our session! It worked out though and her session is one of my favorites to date!

Just one little sneak...

This little girl threw everyone off and decided to come early! Thankfully I was able to work in her session anyway and I was so glad I did! She was just tiny and beauiful and slept so wonderfully for us. I can't wait for Mom and Dad to see the rest of these, but in the meantime, I thought I would share just one with my favorite new hat!

I wouldn't normally say that my newborns are smiley. Usually they are sleeping! However, this sweet little man blessed me with a great big smile as his parents kissed his head, and I CAUGHT IT! You can imagine my glee! Not only that, but he was just wonderful and sleepy for our whole session. I felt very lucky. This little man was born early and spent time in NICU, meaning that he was older than normal. But he did wonderfully. Not to mention he has wonderful and loving parents whom I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with. Enjoy these, you guys and congrats!

{A Christmas Eve Jinglebelle} Mckinney- Plano- Denton Birth Photographer

I had the honor of being there when this family planned to bring "Jinglebelle" into this world. It was a planned homebirth and this little baby decided to surprise us be being breech during labor. As circumstances worked out, I wasn't able to photograph her birth. I did get the chance to capture all the lovely moments that led up to it and then go back for a newborn session this last week. She is just beautiful and her family loves her more than any I have ever seen. I mean, ADORE her. She is a lucky girl and they are so blessed to have her as well. I love you guys and am grateful to have been there through it all! Enjoy these special moments...

Before the Texas freeze hit... it was 75 and the Ice Cream man drove by!







What a team...



Almost no longer the baby!

{Lots of Stairs} Mckinney- Frisco- Allen Newborn Photographer

I had the joy of meeting this family for their maternity session a while back. We had to wait quite a while for this little miss to finally make her appearance and then a last minute family trip delayed us even more. But we finally, at three weeks old, got to do our newborn session. She is so big! And just lovely and sweet. The best light was at the top of their stairs and I would go up and down the rest of the afternoon. Let me tell you, I was sore the next few days! Wow.



Either way, it was so nice to meet the new addition and to see her big brother again, who graced me with some lovely smiles, and tried to push his sister over ;) Gotta love siblings.

{Wild Hair} Mckinney- Allen- Frisco Newborn Photographer

This session could have gone very differently. I feel like the stars aligned and the sun broke thru the clouds and we were gifted with an amazing afternoon. This little man was NOT 10 days old. LOL! His parents didn't find me until he was 7 weeks old. I agreed to attempt a newborn session, making no promises for being able to actually get him to sleep ;) But he did it! The best part is that he has some of the coolest (and softest) hair I have ever seen! It sticks straight out all over his head. I adored it. This little man is on my Grow with Me plan, so expect to see more of his wild hair and stunning blue eyes.





Sleeping AND smiling! Amazing little man ;)



Loving this basket and the window...



Look at the hair!!! I told you it was fantastic!



Tired of babies in santa hats yet? Good, I am not either!!!

{Sleeping Perfection} Frisco- Mckinney- Allen Newborn Photographer

I was at this little ones birth only two weeks before this and she had changed so much all ready! I couldn't believe it. She was just beautiful. She snoozed thru the beginning of our session and then woke up and was happy as can be just hanging out whereever I put her. She loved to look at the lights on the Christmas tree. She is just beautiful.

Isn't this GREAT!!!



One of my favs from our session...







Christmas has come early! ;)

{Chubby Cheeks} Mckinney- Princeton- Allen Newborn Photographer

I had the joy of meeting this sweet girl. She was quite the chubby babe and oh so wonderful for our session. Her mama and papa were so glad to have her here and we were all thrilled with how peacefully she slept for our session. We were able to get some great shots, as well as her amazing eyes when she was awake. Check out these cheeks!

Sleeping beauty...



Just in time for Christmas...

{A Newborn Party} Plano- Allen Newborn Photographer

So, most newborn session include a newborn (duh) and maybe a sibling or a mom and dad. We sit around feeding and changing diapers. Well, I had quite the newborn session this last week! Little Michael was our subject. We decided to go to grandmas house since she had such nice light. The light is what really matters! What we didn't factor in was all the aunts and uncles who would also be there. Add in an older sister and we had quite the crew!

So now, you are probably wondering why an aunt or uncle would be a problem. Well, meet them!

And the big sister...

Can you see our difficulties here? LOL! They were so excited. So, we get him naked, as I do all babies and we have our first casualty. My white blanket, ofcourse. So what do we do? Put him on G-ma's white blanket! Yeah, can you see where this is going? I don't think she will let us use her house again! But look what came from the white blanket mess...

So we move on to the beautful blue blanket grandma crochetted. We got these cute little toes...

But it also fell victim to the pee! So, we decide to try my new cradle. Why have we not put a diaper on this kid yet, you ask? Hmmmm.

We decided that one wasn't as bad as it sounded. Still, add that blanket to the growing laundry pile! So at this point, we are up to 7 poops and 6 pees. Whew! So, what the heck, let's put him on the antique chair naked!

Shockingly, this is the only thing he didn't pee on! So, all I have to say is that this may have been a messy session, but this baby is beautiful. I mean, truely. He is just so yummy I could eat him right up. That and he has a pretty awesome family. Thanks for being patient with me guys! Enjoy!
