exclusive child photographer, say what!?

...i've had a hannah montana overload today :o) ...forgive me.

i've actually gotten a couple emails regarding my last post...i should clarify an important point.

as an exclusive newborn & children's photographer, i will be focusing my work on those subjects, but it's important to point out that i have always advocated mom sneaking into some shots (even if she resists...i get my way!) & even grabbing a real-life family portrait if dad's available!

 

the connection between a momma & her baby is children's portraiture! so to answer your email concerns...i will continue to capture these sweet, emotional memories as a part of any newborn/baby or children's session :o)

 

(good grief! in thinking/looking through images to add to help illustrate this post...i was overwhelmed with lots of favorite 'connection' shots! i could post all night, but decided on one new & one old fave. how could i not continue to capture these emotional connections!?)

if you are seeking strictly family portraiture, i'm happy to refer you to a photographer more suited for that.

i hope everyone had a fabulous Independence day! God Bless America, land that i LOVE :o) brother mike preached an amazing patriotic message that got me all fired up this morning...freedom isn't free & our nation that was founded on 'In God we Trust' and the very idea of independence has & is turning it's back on those very principals that make us the greatest nation in the world. my country & her leaders are in my prayers each & every day...please remember them in yours.

next up? gallery wrap canvas overload! why we (both my clients & myself) are in love :o)

a newborn pailyn picture post

it's my intention to start her her own blog; i just haven't been able to find the time :'(

it will get done though...heather & bennett have stacks of albums (before digital...they have actual photo albums-ones with real printed pictures in them!) and scrapbooks with journalling on every layout, sometimes spilling over to the back!

 

i'm afraid miss pailyn won't have those things, but her own blog would be pretty neat, i'm thinking. i figure...i can blog everyday events & candid photos and have a blurb book made for her once a year.

 

i'm happy to report that pailyn is doing great :o) today i discovered a trick that totally makes her grin & bat her eyes at me!

she's just transformed our house & everyone in it! heather & ben are all about her little self-heather came & got her from me just a few minutes ago. watching her with her daddy melts my heart every. single. time. i don't recall being this exhausted with bennett, but...i have to say, my little dude was *the best baby* ever. pailyn is a good baby...maybe it's the additional 8 years tacked onto my age ;o)

yesterday, some time was spent in her nursery (which was late getting completed because of her early arrival & pottery barn kids slow-as-a-snail delivery!) organizing & putting things in their place. we were really just so blessed with all the gifts we've received! i can't wait until she grows into her clothes & once she gains a few pounds, we won't have to buy diapers for a while!

   

look at that little chuck baby!

pailyn's monkey chair will be delivered wednesday...the last piece of furniture-and chuck has to help me get two things on the wall- & her nursery will be complete! it's driving me crazy not being all-the-way done, so wednesday can't get here fast enough!

i'm happy to report that the announcement is complete...i'm ordering them today...and it is loaded with pailyn eye candy :o)

...so...any ideas for a fun name for pailyn's new blog? (and monkeytoes.com is already taken; i checked) anyone?

she made me work it! (mississippi newborn photographer)

after several decidedly failed attempts to capture gorgeous newborn photos of my pailyn here at home...this photographer, mom officially labels our home as: crappyest indoor light. ever.

i've had some challenging indoor shoots in the past, natural light wise...but my own takes the cake! and it's been just too darn cool & windy to take it outside.

...so...we packed it up & headed to nana's! little girl made me work ;o) ...naturally...she decided to be all wide-eyed for the first hour or so. stinker.

i adore that candid capture (thanks mom!)...because it shows off her tinniness more so than any other photo.

i got her good & milk drunk & out she went. once i decide for sure which images i'll be using for her announcement, i'll begin posting some of the others here :o)

a pailyn share (mississippi newborn photographer)

miss pailyn...in all her littleness:

 

 

 

that's all for now...i have to hang on to my faves...still have yet to design the announcement ;o)

eta: she is doing wonderful! she made it back to 5 lbs. 15 oz a week ago & is growing every day!

my 'ittle pin cushion

...we go back to the lab tomorrow to get stuck yet again to have her bili level checked.

both little heels have been through it, bless her heart & it's my prayer that tomorrow is the beginning of the end of jaundice for pailyn. her levels have jumped all over the place & just won't stay down.

other than that, we're doing great :o) her weight gain is slow, but steady. she was up to 5lbs. 10oz monday. she likes to eat. she likes to sleep. & she loves to be held :o)

 

she's perfection. i love her.

the photographer's prayer

Dear Lord, as I bring my subject into focus & prepare to make each portrait, never let me forget that I'm creating treasures for a family, a keepsake for loved ones. Make me sensitive to the qualities and virtues of others, that I may draw out into the light the beautiful radiant belongings of their hearts.

Help me to be an artist, collecting the beauty of every soul, the glow of youth, the gentleness, the laughter or tears of each life that is precious in Thy sight. Deeper than a means of livelihood, give me the perspective to see my photographer's art as a service to others, making life richer and more memorable.

And, dear Lord, between the lights and shadows, the ups and downs and the rolling years, keep me from getting out of focus or off center, so that my life and work may be framed with dignity and colored with contentment. amen.

that line about 'drawing out into the light the beautiful radiant belongings of their hearts'...well...i immediatly thought of this recent favorite of dr.z and her girly number three :o)

oh the hair :o)

she has a head full of the most fluffy fulness!

 

and was the best little sleeper...she let me totally do my think without even a sigh.

i heart when the newbies give me a little grin. 

 

love me some baby! and i'm since typepad made changes to their uploader pics (color & sharpness) look crummy...soo frustrating!

bitty baby boy 'b'

this bundle of sweetness is my little cousin's peanut. blaise ryan (did i spell that right, meghan?) he came on his first little venture out & about to spend saturday with me & my camera. he was 22 days old here & packed a good 4lbs 10oz of solid cuteness!

the one below, i may see a bit of dillon in him...no?

this next one's for his g-momma (although, i personally think she needs a name more becoming to who-she-is, like...say...sweetheart or lovey or even princess)

i can't post newborn pics without showing off the bittyest piggie ever...

and the little dude know's his football!

so good to meet you mr. man! meghan...he's perfect!...see you all again really soon! xoxo

baby riley

ooh, i love me a fresh curly baby!

sweetness!
