Little man, Jack!

You all remember beautiful, glowing Kathryn (click here if you missed it!) while she waited for Jack to arrive!  Well...he's here!  And adorable as ever!  He's suchh a little man!

 Ever wonder what a baby is thinking about when we're fussing over them?  Making weird baby talk noises and weirdo faces like a crazy person just to get a little smile.  Well Jack is a man of many expressions - I feel like he can tell you an entire story with a look.  It's so funny.   And he is so calm and happy!  He was perfectly content with me in his face and was just trying to figure it all out.  He even flashed a few smiles my way.  Thanks, buddy!

Remember how I said Kathryn just has this calming way about her?  Well it's 10 fold now.  She is just so calm, cool and collected with Jack and it's awesome.  I'm so happy for you and Chris!  Enjoy every second of it (I know you are!)

Ok, enough of my yapping.  Here's Jack!

Oh hi there, bud!

Totally content... taking it all in...

He's all, "Cute??  I'll show you cute."

Annnnd he's worn out... time for a quick snooze.   Snug as a bug.

 "No prob... lemme flash you a little dimple while I sleep.  I got this."

And he's up!  Holding my head up and rolling over at 9 weeks.  pshhh no big deal.

Ok you ready for this....???

No seriously... cuteness overload.

 Can you even stand it???  Too much.

Congrats again, Kathryn and Chris!  He's absolutely perfect!

Myles makes his debut!

Meet Myles!

I hadn't known his awesome parents before this shoot, but I am SO happy that our mutual friends Kate and Dave got us in touch!  They are just awesome people and made me immediately feel at home.  I am so happy we were able to do this!  Myles knew how excited Mom and Dad were to meet him that he came 3 1/2 weeks early!  And he is pure perfection.  I mean really...  look at this face!

Some people just have a natural instinct around babies, and let me tell you, Leanne and Matt have it.  It's like they had been doing this forever - not just a few days!  And the love they have for this little man just oozes out of them.  It was so nice to watch.  You guys are going to be amazing parents.  He is one lucky little guy!

Such a little nugget!

I AB-solutely love this... such a beautiful family.

Just chillin with Mom and Dad...

Thank you so much guys!   So glad I met you!  Hope you love them :)

Sweet Sabrina!

Meet sweet little Sabrina!

I met up with Danielle for lunch, and she nonchalantly slid her ultrasound picture across the table.  AHHHH!!!  YAYY!!   To say I was excited is an understatement.  We have been through every major life even together and this was the next milestone!

Danielle is an absolutely amazing friend who has given me some of the best advice throughout my life.  She always knows the best thing to say or the best solution to anything. I feel so lucky to have her in my life.  And I'm so happy for her and Dan!  You are going to be amazing parents and Sabrina is one lucky little lady.

Side story -  I somehow managed to lock my 6 week old puppy in the car right after we finished these pictures!  I was in full on panic mode.  Danielle to the rescue.   She carried little Sabrina down the street to her neighbors house who might be able to get the door open for me.  (Now, disclaimer - the air conditioner was on so the pup was fine...  But I was freeeeaking out.  Good thing he's our practice kid!)  After pacing in her driveway for half hour, AAA showed up to save Bauer.  Thanks for keeping me calm, Danielle!  "Day in the life..."

Pretty pink Romper from Little Ette Designs!

So smiley!

Teal polka dot tu-tu!   I can't get enough of it!

 

Little love from Grandma!

And Mommy!

Pretty Penny!

Meet pretty little Penelope!   I know Penny's lucky parents, Tamara and Patrick through my brother and sister-in-law and they are just awesome people.   I felt like they were my own friends the day we met years ago.  (It's so true that good people surround themselves with good people.  Ya know what I mean??) When I was just literally starting out and only had a handful of pictures to show for it, (and Penny was just a little basketball in mommy's belly) Tamara was so excited to do this shoot!  That meant the world to me!  Feels like forever that I've been dying to little Penny to make her debut!!

 She wasn't the biggest fan of my camera in her adorable little face  at first but she still worked it!  Look at those baby blue eyes.. can you stand it??  So pretty.

"Oh - why hello world!  I'm HERRRRREE!!"

Tamara and Patrick - I'm sorry! I can't help it.  This one KILLS me everytime I see it.     "WHAAAAAT is this lady putting on my head?!?"

It's the little things....

And can't forget about Madison and Baloo!
