One thing I will never, ever categorize myself as is a newborn photographer. They're a magical breed of artist that I admire greatly. I will, however, take every opportunity I can to make myself better and pick up new techniques along the way. Plus, any of my friends who ask me to take pictures of their newborn bundles of joy get a "YES!" without hesitation!

That being said, I was very excited when Courtney & Greg asked me to come over and take a few snaps of 3-week-old Declan. His little face is already so expressive & he was so curious about everything going on around him. Not to mention the fact that Courtney & Greg are already like pros with the little guy--I give them crazy props for being so cool, calm & collected, because I would be a hot mess, haha!

I love my clients. I really, truly do...I've met some amazing people over the past few years as they let me take a glimpse into their lives & let me document their families. The Sappington family holds a very special place in my heart--I've really run the gamut with them & every experience makes me smile. From Eric & Kelly's wedding, to Charlotte's (yes, the same Charlotte in these photos!) newborn photos, to the whole clan, I've come to love their family. 

I snaked my way down to Maryland this afternoon to spend some time with Brent & Naomi and their two beautiful little girls. Sadie & Charlotte came out of the car smiling & didn't stop until I stopped clicking. We took some really lovely family & sister photos, and then went to TOWN with Sadie's cake smash.
