Another precious newborn.  This time, the child of some life long friends!

My sister’s great friend Shannon had this handsome baby boy back in August.  I happened to be in town, so we went over and I took just a few photos.  Some of my favorites are of Owen with his big sister Cara.  So sweet!!

There’s nothing more precious than a newborn baby.

Daphne is one of my favorite models, as she’s also one of my favorite little people!! She lives down the street from me, so we hang out quite a bit. In August I took a few photos, and they are just too cute not to share.

Oh, and her parents are musicians, so you can see that she just may end up following in their footsteps!

Baby Harper was less than 3 weeks old when I took her photos.  She was a perfect – and very sleepy – model.

Ollie and his parents are out of town “friends of friends” who had seen some of my photos through Facebook. I was so excited when they decided to have a portrait session done on their visit to Athens this summer! Here are some of my favorites of the day.

I went to highschool with Parker’s mom Lindsey, and was thrilled to have the chance to photograph her beautiful baby girl Parker back in May. Yes, I admit I’m a bit behind in my blogging, but just because Parker is probably crawling all over the place by now doesn’t mean I shouldn’t show you how beautiful she was when she was just a few weeks old!

As always, it was so fun to see how much a newborn I’d photographed has grown in 6 short months!!  Axley (click here for his newborn photos) is such a sweet little guy.  He may look a little lady-like in the first photo, since he’s in his Christening gown and cap – but I’m sure it’s because of those beautiful eyes!  He’s quite the little man in all the others.

A few outside photos with Mom made for a great Father’s day gift for Dad.

And finally, in his adorable Cuban style shirt and hat!

I do love to photograph the baby of a previous bride and groom!! Marissa and Brant‘s son Lucas is just adorable.  He was about 3 months old during the shoot. He is so handsome, and was so well behaved.  He didn’t even seem to mind all the costume changes.  Here are a few of my favorites from the session.  I can’t wait to see him again when he’s a little older!

Such a smiler!  He was very intrigued with my flash.

Can’t resist a baby in a cute hat!

Not sure what his expression is saying here… might be a little concerned about a bear that’s twice his size?

Marissa and Lucas.  Love this hat!

This photo makes me think of future, college-aged Lucas, in his polo shirt, lounging on the couch. But then he’ll have a beer, and hopefully some pants too!

I had to get one shot with Marissa and her “first child” Gracie!

As any parent knows, time flies when kids are growing up!  Photography is, of course, a great way to capture those moments in time so we can look back and remember each stage in our little ones’ lives.  I first met Charlie when he was only 3 months old.  Since then, I photographed him at 6 months, 12 months, and now 18 months!  He’s seems like such a big kid now, but I’m betting I’ll say that next time I see him too!!  Here are some of my favorite photos from his 18 month session.

Charlie loves his mama!

Charlie’s favorite thing right now is balls.  Tennis balls, beach balls, nerf balls, he’s not too picky.  But he loves to throw that ball around!

He can’t quite get up that ladder yet, but that does not stop him from trying! (Not to worry, dad’s right there behind him.)

Walking home.

See you soon Charlie!!
