1 week old | central Ky newborn photography

Meet sweet little Jansen! He is the first "real" newborn I have professionally photographed. (other than my own) I have photographed babies that were 3-4wks old but never a itty bitty newborn. Jansen had only been in our world for a week when he came to visit me! Which is the perfect age to photograph a litte one for those sweet, sleepy shots! *hint, hint*

He broke me in easy! Little guy was happily awake for only a few minutes, and then snoozed for the rest of the session! He never uttered a whimper at all. Even when I would pick him up to snuggle...uhh I mean repose him. ;) Plus, he is absolutely adorable! It never ceases to amaze me how perfectly wonderful a newborn baby is.

Thank you to his Momma for letting me use him as my tiniest model yet! Enjoy!

Beautiful baby bump | Central KY materinty photographer

How cute is this Momma with her sweet little baby bump? Makes me miss being pregnant! (calm down Jeremy, I am not getting any ideas...) I so enjoy doing maternity photos, it is such a fleeting time in life, although it may not feel that way! Thank you Tara for being a willing model and letting me drag you through the hay fields!

Cutest 4.5 month old ever! | Central Ky photographer

OK, so she's mine! But she is a cutie!! I love this stage when babies grab their little toes all the time! So here is just one quick share of my little Darcy Kate chillin on my new, wild set-up. More to come later!

What a cute family! This is the 3rd time I have photographed little AG (2 years old) but the first time her big brother and little sister have been in front of my camera. I think they all look so much alike! Enjoy!

Sleepy sweetie | Central KY photographer

The sunlight was streaming through my kitchen door today. I walked by it and thought to myself "Man, that is some great light." but I resisted the urge to grab little Miss Darcy Kate and do some pics because she was getting pretty sleepy.

Then I walked by it again....these were the result! My very own sweetie pie on a antique quilt. As a lover of old quilts, and obviously a lover of babies, I really liked the result of our quick shoot! Darcy did not mind either. She feel asleep mid shoot!

Wow Katie, update already!

Seriously?? Ok, life with a newborn a almost 3 year old, and a 4 year old has been fun, but busy! Making trips twice a week for allergy shots for the older kids, plus doctor visits for myself and the baby keeps me beyond busy! My computer time has been limited, but everyone is sleeping now so I thought it would be a wonderful time to update my blog!!

I'll add a few pictures of Miss Darcy Kate. These were the pictures I took of her in the hospital at 1 day old. Many of you have seen these already, but I can't leave her out of the blog! She is 6 weeks old now, and it is true, time flies.

Since I am a natural light photographer, and my studio is in the garage, I have not taken any other pro pics of Darcy Kate yet. Let me tell you my camera is screaming at me to take some but I just can't bring myself to strip a 6 wk old down to her diaper is 7 degree weather. Nope, nope. Hurry up spring!

I am shooting again after enjoying a few weeks with the baby. I have pink, red, and white backdrops ready for Valentines Day, so just drop me a e-mail!
