I photographed little Reese when she was still in Mommy’s belly last fall, so it was so much fun to photograph her again almost a year later in the same park =)

She was very serious for the rest of her session haha!

Thank you for choosing me to be your photographer!

One of the best parts about being a photographer is having clients who become friends. This family is by far one of my favorites to photograph =) They are always up for anything, willing to try out new locations, and we always manage to laugh our way through sessions.

Thank you for choosing me to be your photographer!

It takes a brave woman to want to do an outdoor Boudoir session in the desert at the bottom of the Franklin Mountains! Aubrey was just gorgeous and nailed every shot. I couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful model or location.

This is one of my favorite maternity sessions that I have photographed. Ashley is just gorgeous and the El Paso Rose Garden is my favorite place to have maternity sessions because the colors are beautiful there.

I just love Cake Smashes! Babies are always so unpredictable when faced with a huge yummy cake. Some dig right in, others aren’t so sure…

Thank you for choosing me to be your photographer!

BABY FINNEGAN | OSF SAINT FRANCIS MEDICAL CENTER NICU | PEORIA, ILLINOIS NEWBORN PHOTOGRAPHER

jsphotog — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 16:02:16 +0000

This was the first session that I have ever had where I was left completely in awe. Baby Finnegan was born when he was just 25 weeks old, weighing 1 pound 11.75 ounces and was 12.75 inches long. He is now over 3 pounds and was off of his oxygen for the first time the day of his session. Such a strong will inside of his teeny tiny body.

I had never been in a NICU before and I was pretty nervous. After scrubbing my arms with soap up to my elbows for 2 minutes, I was able to meet this precious little man. It’s amazing how such a little baby can leave such a big impression on you and I bet you will fall in love with him too. I am really touched that I was able to photograph a little miracle.

Holding on to Mom and Dad.

Love that little smirk!

Smiling at his Mommy.

He just melted my heart.

A tiny hand holding onto his Daddy’s pinky.

Thank you for choosing me to be your photographer and for allowing me to meet your little miracle. Baby Finnegan, I am truly inspired by you.
