This cradle is a family heirloom of theirs. Nikki’s grandfather made it for her when she was a baby and its been passed around the family for a while and now its back where it started, well sorta. Again, I love that a blanket I made is making an appearance in the photos :)

Call me!

She fought sleep the whole session but finally she managed to drift off.

something is not like the rest

gotta love all those little details, they aren’t that little forever

Charlotte is about a month early. Her mama wasn’t due to have her until September 6th. Luckily she came early since her daddy really wanted to meet her. To second that luck the whole family was able to hang out with me on Sunday. Thanks for taking the time out of your limited days to spend with me. Now on to Baby GaGa (her in womb name which I might steal when I pop’m out.) She was 6 days old when I finally got to meet her.

Chad, I know youre going to hate this photo because of the missing ring(and i love it!) but Y E S ladies, he is taken!I made this quilt for her as a baby present. It thrilled me that she wanted to use it for the photos!!

I have been wanting to photograph a baby hanging for quite a while, yay for parents being game! love those little rolls.no wonder this kid is so cute.

For a while there I wasn’t sure this little bundle of cuteness was going to enter the world. She took forever. She really liked her momma! Finally she did though, at a whopping 9lb 1oz. That’s a 1 not a 10. She was definitely fighting her sleep the day we chose for photos too. Eventually she couldn’t fight it anymore and then let a little magic happen. Isabella was 10 days in these photos.This next one is one of my favorites from the session, Jons face along with the babies just really make me laugh.

i think she looks just like big brother

cutest baby everrrrrrrrrrrr! (yes I did go into pirate talk there)

just look at those lips!

born in June her birthstone is pearl
