Meridith's Baby

mommy & me mini session

With her huge smile, contagious laugh, and joy for life, Meridith has a special place in my heart. It is impossible not to be encouraged and refueled after spendings just a few minutes with her. While I am always honored when clients choose me to photograph precious moments in their lives, there is something so special about another area photographer asking me to photograph them and their loved ones!

As I was preparing to share these pictures from Meridith's Mommy & Me Mini Session with her fourth (and last) child (so, her baby :)), my heart grew so tender towards the moments I was able to capture. I can practically hear Meridith's laugh as I look at her smile, and the memory of her singing her daughter's favorite lullaby while she rested her head in her safe place on her mama's shoulder is as fresh as if it happened this morning. (These pictures were in fact taken almost a year ago!) The love Meridith has for her daughter is so crystal clear in these pictures and it warms my heart to know that they will both have these images to enjoy for many years to come.

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our time together at my studio located in Forest, Virginia (in the New London area of Bedford, Virginia, right outside of Lynchburg!):

If you have been thinking about investing in one of my upcoming Mommy & Me Mini Sessions (there are only a few slots left!), I want you to know that I would be honored to capture images like these for you to freeze the time you have right now with your own babies. These days may feel so long, but the years truly are short. Life right now looks different than it did six months ago, and it will continue to change and look even more different six months from now!

From one mom to another, you won't regret having pictures like these taken! In fact, all this heart-tugging writing is making me want to schedule my own session for me and my girls!

Can we say ginger?! Ah! I loved photographing these two beautiful ladies together! Baby O is such a sweet little girl and, as you will see, SO very loved! I had a great time getting to know her even if I did have to work extra hard to entice some smiles out of her. I love those babies that bring me a good challenge! :)

Baby B | Lynchburg Studio Newborn Session

This sweet family came into the studio a few weeks ago with their little man who was 8 weeks old already! Newborn sessions are typically done when babies are 3 weeks old or younger, but I am always happy to adjust our shooting plans when babies are too big to be wrapped up tight and tucked to sleep the whole session. There are perks to photographing babies past the prime newborn stage; I loved how alert B was and how many times he looked directly into my camera lens! :) What a little charmer!! J and N, thank you for trusting me to capture such a treasured season in your lives!

Ashley & Emmie

Mommy & Me Mini Session

 Ashley Eiban and her family are super special to our family. Ashley was Sunday's day care provider during her toddler years. Ashley's daughter, Emmie, is just five days older than Sunday and they basically learned to talk with each other! Hah. :) I had a lovely time capturing Ashley and Emmie and their irreplaceable bond this past weekend. Below are a few of my favorite images I was able to capture during our time together.

Aren't they the sweetest?! They were such great sports to snuggle up in the cold in front of my camera! I can't wait to have more mamas and babies in front of my camera in just a few weeks!
