I always joke that I have very few maternal instincts. I mean, I know they'll kick in when I need them to, but besides just holding a baby, I'm really not sure what else to do with them. Especially when they cry. I like kids. I want more than two. But I'm just hoping I'll be granted the wisdom to know what to do when they come. Haha! I don't photograph baby sessions too often--I used to shoot more my first year or two of business, but now couples are my focus. However, for past clients, I'll pretty much do anything!

Ernest and Mary had a session with me over a year ago and I was delighted to receive an email from Mary a few months ago. They had a beautiful baby daughter named Samantha. What a joy to say the least! I was pumped to see them again and to photograph them as a family of three instead of just a family of two. It's just the most special thing when a couple is blessed with a baby after many months when it's not the smoothest process. I loved watching them care and adore for their five-month-old Sam and I hope they have another one soon. You bet I'll be back to photograph them all!

Melynn and Kris and Reuben and Elisabeth. They are such a wonderful little family. I've known this family before they were a family... back when they were just a couple. Melynn and Kris were newlywed youth leaders when Brandon & I started attending Southgate Youth about five years ago. I still remember the night they announced they were pregnant. And then when cute little Reuben came. Two years later came Elisabeth and oh how I love these kiddos! Melynn and Kris became the middle school youth pastors last Fall and every Friday night they are faithfully serving our youth group, two kids in tow behind them. We had a quick little shoot last Sunday afternoon at their beautiful house. Enjoy!
