Last year I made it a goal to capture fresh 48 babies. That was obviously not going to happen but when the time comes. I’ll be ready. It’s a different feeling when your in the hospital and you’ve welcomed your newborn. Once you get home another feeling. I want to capture the newness of you still being in the hospital with your newborn. Just like I did with mine if a feeling and memory I’ll never forget and I cherish it so much!

The million dollar shot that could’ve opened up my c-section worth it! I couldn’t raise my arms so the next best thing was to get up on a chair just to get that one shot I needed. Slowly like a sloth I rose and bam! Snapped the shot and done! The rest I just sat and put the bassinet next to the window! Honestly if I had another me I would also have captured my own birth

Newborns would you believe me if I told you I captured my (my actual baby) newborn pictures 1-2 days post op from a c section? Because I in fact did I even got up on a chair to capture some specific shots. Yes I did that and I do not regret it one bit! I will forever treasure those pictures I took of my precious little guy! We are amazing mamas and we are so strong and capable of so much!

A queen with her king by her side! Pregnancy is such a beautiful thing. But it’s not always easy and several will tell you this. But when you look back at your pictures you don’t see the aches and pains. You see your self glowing and growing human life inside of you. Then you just want to do it all over again lol. That my friends is motherhood.

What? Me actually in front of the camera!? Why yes! Special thanks to my cousin who snapped these for me teaching him how to photograph!

Wow just wow I look at this and think wow I really did this!? This was only a model call session my ideas, my thought process, it all came together! With the help of another fellow photographer who I asked to join me! If you know of anyone looking to elope ... Send them my way because wow I’m definitely doing elopement sessions now! See more
