Rogers Family: Maternity

Here is a look at one gorgeous family! They are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their third child, a baby girl! Considering how cute their two other children are, I'm excited to see their third! Here's is their sneak peek! (Don't hate Stacy because she's so beautiful!!! We can't all look that good pregnant!)

Gwyneth: 9 months

Do you remember this sweet baby girl from last May? Well, she's 9 months now and still oh so cute! I have loved having her come in every few months and being able to watch her grow!

Is this not the most adorable cloth diaper ever? Tracy started sewing more after Gwyneth was born and now has her own little business making baby items! She loves cloth diapering and makes tons of really, really cute ones!

Almost 5 Months!

Well, I'm almost 5 months pregnant! As much as I don't like taking pictures of myself, I wanted to capture this time in my life. Seeing as it's a little difficult to take self portraits along with 2 little ones, I was surprised I got them both to cooperate while I used a remote to take our picture. I snapped this right before we left for church today! We are so excited to meet this bundle of joy! We find out on Valentine's Day what we are having and my girls are hoping for a little brother. Honestly, my husband and I don't care what gender the baby is but I think we are both a little nervous about boys because we haven't done that yet.
As far as photography, I plan on continuing to take portaits til the beginning to mid June and then I will be on maternity leave for the summer! I might be able to take on a photoshoot or two that is in my studio during the latter part of the summer. However, if this baby is also born with FPIES syndrome like my girls were then I might need a little more time off as we figure out the baby's specific dietary needs and health and work through the colic if needed. I'm crossing my fingers that the third times a charm but honestly, since it's genetic there is a high chance of it happening again and I'm a little anxious about it.
So, don't put off portraits if you're planning on having me take them this year! I will also be offering some family mini sessions most likely in March, date to be determined. I may also do a mini session for kids later in the spring with a lemonade stand or tea party set up, your choice! I'll give you dates as it gets closer! Thanks!

Mason: Newborn Photographer

Meet the handsome Mason! He was born at over 9 lbs, but he still seemed so tiny to me! You forget how small newborns are over time, both of my girls were 6 pounders, so I was even more surprised to think how small Mason seemed! He is a gorgeous little guy! He also has the cutest big sister who came along for photos and had a great time playing with my daughter during the photoshoot!

He must be having some happy dreams!

Jayden the proud big sister!

Wearing daddy's tie!

Daddy's a golfer!

I seriously LOVE his cute little lips here!!! Makes me excited for my baby to come this summer!

Thank you so much to the Stokes family for trusting me to capture their beautiful newborn!!!
