Aaron and Susan had to wait three days after their due date, and endure many (MANY!) hours of labor, before meeting their little one. She was perfectly happy staying put, and with the freezing weather of the Midwest I don't blame her one bit. But she finally arrived, and we got to meet her this past Sunday. I'm happy to introduce you to Miss Claire...
Besides vetoing a couple of poses, she was really content throughout the afternoon.
Look at the tiny, pink boots!
And the details in her nursery...
She somehow knew exactly when the cameras were pointed at her face, because this was her reaction. :)
Aaron and Susan: thank you for letting us meet Claire and hang out with your little family. We can't wait to show you the rest of the images.
On Sunday, we had the pleasure of meeting Joe and Maura's adorable baby boy. Even though he had grown in the 11 days since his birth, he was still so tiny to us. He was a great sport throughout the session, which included a little nap for him while we ate lunch. Joe and Maura have such wonderful colors in their home that, combined with the outfits they chose, made the images look very soothing. I couldn't think of a better turn-out.
I hope Joe and Maura enjoy the sneak peek of their beautiful family. And with that, I'm happy to introduce you to sweet Owen...
Look at those squishy cheeks!
And those little feet!
Joe and Maura: thank you for letting us invade your home and hang out while meeting Owen. Hopefully everyone was able to nap after we left. :) We're looking forward to seeing you next week!

I got to spend some time Saturday with Joshua and his parents, Scott and Mary Ellen. Joshua is and has been such a blessing to their lives, but I know that he's even more blessed to have them as parents. They are wonderful people who have impacted our lives greatly in the few years we've known them.
This session was extra sweet because it was Rye Designs' first newborn session and my first solo gig. It's hard to believe that, but Dan and I always shoot sessions together. Since he was out of town, I had to be confident and bring the awesome. I missed having his angles and ideas, but I had a good vision going in and I'm pretty proud of myself.
Meet Joshua and his fabulous green nursery...
Once we went into Scott and Mary Ellen's bedroom for some shots, I could have stayed there all day. The sunlight coming in through the windows was heavenly.
Toward the end of the session, we headed to the living room couch for some relaxed family shots. Here's mama with her baby...
and her other baby. :)
So what do you think of our first newborn session? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Scott and Mary Ellen (and Josh!), thanks so much for letting me come into your home, move things around, and place Josh in positions he may not have cared for. Your little family is a big reminder of how great God's love and timing really are.
