baby john pierce: newborn.

it feels like just yesterday i was taking maternity photos for danielle and thomas, and then before we knew it, john pierce was here. he was born on the fourth of july, so i have affectionately deemed him "america's baby."

he was such a sweet baby to photograph, and we had a lot of fun lulling him to perfect newborn sleep, maneuvering his little body, and showing off his parents' college pride.

thomas and danielle share so much love for each other and for the newest addition to their family. i hope you enjoy some of my favorites from our time together.

baby benjamin: newborn.

i first met jen and dan at church and have gotten to know jen through our monthly book club meetings, so i was so excited to take photos of their first baby, little benjamin!

i don't know if i've ever had so much fun at a photo session. there was a lot of laughter, especially when dan released their chickens, we stuck ben in a wheelbarrow, and decided to finish it off with the classic "simba pose." 

benjamin was a trooper and slept through all our crazy poses and locations we put him through. he is such a precious little guy and blessed with an incredible family. i can't wait to watch him grow!

enjoy some of my favorites from our afternoon together.

will, lauren, and audrey darr: newborn.

baby audrey was born a few weeks ago, and her parents, will and lauren, invited me to their home to take newborn photos. she was such a sweet baby and so easy to photograph. and that nursery? i'm thinking about moving in myself.

the lords: family and newborn.

ben and whitney and their two beautiful children were so fun to photograph. we went to a local park right outside their home, put down a blanket, and the rest is history. afterwards, we went inside to get some newborn photos of baby fletcher in his birthday suit and winter cap. they were great sports and such an easy family to photograph.
