This little…well, not so little baby is the same baby at the top of my blog in the black hat.  Everyone always asks me about her so I HAD to make sure I showed you what she looks like now.  M is just so cute and smiley.  What a great family!

Baby J came in at 13 days old for her first portrait.  She is tiny and sweet so I was able to get a nice cuddle with her.  How can I not love a “job” where I receive lots of cuddles and hugs?!

B brought in her sweet baby boy for some artistic nursing portraits.  This is a sneak peek for B, but I’ll post a few more after she sees them because there are many that I just love!

I love this one so much!  You can really see the amazing bond mom and baby have.

This past Monday I had the wonderful privilege of meeting sweet little Gabe and his mommy and daddy.  I know I don’t usually post the baby’s name, but this one needs special prayers.  Here is his website: Gabe.  He is having surgery tomorrow so please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.  Lisa and Chuck live in the Cleveland area, but opted to have Gabe down in Columbus where they can perform this special surgery on his heart.  I drove down on Monday to capture the love his parents have for him…it was so apparent the minute I walked in his room.  I was so honored Lisa asked me to do this…AND I got to hold him!!

Here are some images to start, but I’m going to add more this week.

The reason isn’t clear yet, but Gabe is here to teach us all something…something big.

adding some more now…

Gabe and his famous bubbles!

So perfect!

Ohh, Baby L was just so tiny, sweet and beautiful! She was very sleepy at first, but then she wanted to stay awake and see what we were all up to!  L wasn’t quite 5 lbs. and probably one of the tiniest I have worked with so far.

Mom and dad were so obviously incredibly in love with their new baby and I was thrilled to create so many images of them with baby L.

Meet sweet baby S.  Her sweet baby face just melts me!  Dad was so loving and patient with his new baby girl and his beautiful wife.  I so love watching new parents interact with each other and their baby.  I know it can be a stressful and tiring time so I make sure the atmosphere is relaxing and the session is not rushed.

Baby feet just give me butterflies!

Little G was happy from the very minute they arrived!  Her smile and sweet personality just made me melt.  I must have said “Oh, she is SO cute” at least 100 times during editing - I am not kidding!  She is clearly the center of her mom and dad’s world - what a lucky girl!

I have so many more and can’t wait to show you, N!

came to celebrate his first birthday!  G sat and stared at me with his amazing eyes…I think he thought I was a little crazy!  My little helpers for the day really helped keep G happy and focused.

He finally ventured away from mom and even forgot she was in the room for a few minutes!

Crying into his blanket was just too cute not to photograph!

Little G wasn’t too happy today celebrating his first birthday!  I did manage to get a few really cute images, but he’ll be back after a nice, long nap.

Here is another sweet new life…Baby C was about 11 days old when he came to see me.  1st session in my new space!  Yay!  He would fall asleep easily enough, but moved when I rearranged him.  It was a long session, but so worth it! He’s so sweet…I can’t wait for another cuddle!

I love his little baby feet!
