Mary Grace

This is one proud brother named Christian and one very longed for and, prayed for, little sister, Mary Grace.


Beautiful family!








Doesn't she look like a china doll?







Mary has the longest eyelashes I've ever seen on a baby. They are incredible!


Here's a before and after of the above image. Most babies have a brief period of baby acne. If you photograph them before 2 weeks old, sometimes you beat this period. But every baby is different and since acne is temporary, I have no qualms removing it. (I leave all permanent marks, such as birthmarks and scars) Unfortunately Photoshop doesn't have a "find and remove acne" filter, so basically you paint over each spot with "good" skin. It's time consuming (this type of editing can add 5+ minutes per file edited) but ultimately worth it.



Such a gorgeous child!

Jada

This beautiful girl is Miss Jada! She was the first baby is a batch of babies I've had recently. I'm not sure why, but regardless of how far apart you schedule babies by due dates they all like to come in the same week ;)

I got three text messages saying "THE BABY"S HERE!!!" the other day. So much fun and a bit challenging trying to find time for 6 newborn shoots in one (already jam packed) week.



Isn't she gorgeous?


Here's a before and after of how I edit newborn pictures. They tend to be more work to shoot and edit but they are entirely worth it. I love to shoot newborns!








The peacock princess rules this house with an iron fist ;)








Big sister Mckenzi is in LOVE with this baby. It was hard to get this shot however...



.......Because all she wanted to do was hold and love on her. She even got annoyed with her mom when Jada was eating as she wanted to hold her.
