The following two families have been such a joy to work with! These posts are long over due, but having a growing, teething baby of your own tends to keep you busy

I love photographing newborns knowing that I’ll get to see the baby again during it’s first year milestones, and then watch as the first bite of cake is consumed! These two sweet families pre-scheduled sessions through our “Growing Up Portraits” to ensure that none of the special moments will be missed.

First up, Tammy and Josh:

Introducing adorable baby Lucas!

Another gorgeous little boy, baby Ashton. His mommy and daddy are extra special people because Curtis and I had the honor of photographing their wedding a while back.

Congratulations again Tammy and Josh and Heather and Josh! I’m looking forward to seeing your boys again soon and how they’ve grown up!

In the world of pregnancy and due dates it’s very rare for a baby to be born on the date a doctor predicts. But Liam is one of those special babies and came into this world exactly on his due date.

You can check out Liam’s gorgeous mommy and daddy here first.

Now enjoy some of our favorites from his Newborn Portrait Session:

I started photographing baby Declan when his mom came in for our Growing Belly Series, starting in her 16th week of pregnancy. I love not only being surrounded by other pregnant mommas and photographing their bellies, but watching them grow and change from session to session.

It’s so amazing to see what their baby looks like after many months of waiting. Here’s Declan at 10 days old.

Being wedding photographers, primarily, sometimes we don’t see our couples again until they start a family. Baby Carter’s mommy and daddy are a Kismet couple from 2009 and we got to meet their little bundle of joy when he was about three weeks old.

Looking at his images makes me all ooey-gooey inside thinking about what our baby, gender undetermined for another 5 days, will look like and who he/she will take after. As a child I was bald for quite some time and I hope baby Snyder comes out with gorgeous locks like Carter’s!

Here are a few of my favorites from his session. Enjoy!

Our “Baby Bits” Canvas Wraps are custom designed to coordinate with your nursery theme and colors.

Before the holidays we had the pleasure of photographing 4 month old baby Trinity and her parents. When it’s cold outside we enjoy having the option of photographing inside our studio. Family portraits can also take place at your home or favorite outdoor location!

Her “Tiny Elf” hat was absolutely adorable!
