This family is just the best. It has been such fun to document the growth of their family from a maternity session with a couple expecting their first child, newborn and milestone sessions for sweet Davi and now the maternity and newborn session of their beautiful new addition Isabela. The term “rainbow baby” has been used to describe babies who are born after a miscarriage, stillbirth or loss of a child, much like a rainbow that appears after a storm. Although Isabela isn’t a rainbow baby by that definition, this little angel is a survivor and has a story that definitely shows she is the rainbow after the storm. This little girl underwent emergency brain surgery at less than 48 hours old after Mom noticed she had been having seizures that were originally dismissed by doctors. After a nurse witnessed the seizures she underwent a series of tests and was transported to children’s hospital where she was prepped for surgery to save her life. It was later determined that sweet Isabela had suffered a stroke while she was still in her Mama’s belly. Did I mention that Isabela had her surgery on Christmas Day? This family has been through so much in the last few months and they have this beautiful and PERFECT little girl here by the grace of God. This picture was taken less than 3 months after her brain surgery, and less than 3.5 weeks after another surgery to reattach her skull from the original surgery. I am completely in awe of this beautiful little girl and her family who have endured so much in her first few months of life!

I met this sweet couple just a month before their beautiful little boy joined their family. We planned to meet at Lebanon Hills for an outdoor session but within 30 seconds of standing outside at our destination we decided there was NO way we were going to be able to photograph an entire maternity session in the cold and windy weather. We opted to meet later in the day at the Como Park Conservatory so we could get beautiful foliage and color and NOT freeze in the process! It turned out to be a great choice and the beautiful colors compliment Mona Lisa’s gorgeous purple dress. I was so excited to hear the news of Baby Shloak’s arrival not long after their maternity session. Oh my goodness…..this little boy could not be more gorgeous!!!! He had the most soulful eyes! I love the way his session turned out and we even got to include a beautiful image of him with his grandmother who came all the way from India to be present for Shloak’s birth and to help the new parents for a few months afterwards….what a blessing!

I’ve been blessed to know this family since their oldest child Bridget was born! I photographed both Bridget and Hughes’ newborn sessions as well as several sessions since then! It was so fun to photograph Phoebe’s maternity session this fall at their beautiful home. The older kids were SO excited for their little brother to arrive and it reminded me a lot of when I was pregnant with my third little one! I bet they are GREAT helpers at home. Tommy is such a lucky baby to have built in entertainment in the form of a big brother and big sister.

I met Jet and Renee for their maternity session a few months before sweet baby’s arrival. We had the perfect September evening! I love the way the sun reflected off Renee’s hair and her beautiful purple dress really stood out again all the green leaves and grass! Baby Augustus joined the family a couple months later and they came back to the studio for their newborn session. Look.at.that.face!!!!!!! Is it not the sweetest thing you’ve ever seen?!? I think someone may be a little redhead! It was such a pleasure working with this beautiful family <3 Enjoy the sneak peek!

I have loved working with this amazing family through the maternity photos with their first daughter all the way through their new baby’s newborn pictures! It’s such an honor to know families trust me with such important memories and I love having the opportunity to develop relationships and really get to know these sweet kiddos (and parents)! We had a gorgeous night for our maternity session and Maya was such a good sport, even though she did get tired close to the end. I’m pretty sure those images her sucking her thumb while snuggling by her Mama are my favorite! Baby Nora’s newborn session went great and although I always hope for the best, getting sibling pictures with a toddler and a newborn are always a bit stressful. Well, these beautiful girls did NOT disappoint! Such a gorgeous and sweet family! I can’t wait to see you guys again as Nora gets bigger!
