Kelly, Josh, and baby Devan (11 days old)

June 25, 2009 – 1:47 pm

You might remember Kelly and Josh from not too long ago.  We had a really fun Pregnancy session.  Well, baby Devan has arrived.  Finally.  He just took his time coming out to meet everyone.  But now he’s here and he is such a sweet, sweet, sweet baby.  Did I mention that he is sweet?  He is just as adorable as is humanly possible.  I really enjoyed our time together today.  He put up with me for quite a while!

Precious boy:

I know that everyone loves the elaborate, squishy poses (hey, I love them too)….but I think there is something just so poignant and special about a new parent just gazing at their brand new baby. It is just what love looks like:

Sweet, sweet baby:

Roberta, Scott, and Conner (8 days old)

June 24, 2009 – 5:28 pm

I really, really like this family so much. I knew it when I did their pregnancy portraits…I just felt so comfortable with them. And then today I got to meet baby Conner. He is delicious. I have to say, though, he was quite the pooper. And when he was done with me, he sure let us know. Just look at him. That hair…that sweet face. He is perfect.

Mommy is in love…oh, and he was so funny with his legs. This boy did NOT want to be squished up. He was straight-legging the whole time.

Mommy and Daddy kept saying he was Daddy’s little “mini me”…I agree!

The cutest pugs ever!

June 14, 2009 – 12:57 pm

Okay, so I know that everyone thinks that their kiddos are the cutest…but seriously? Have you ever seen such cute pugs? I thought not. What a fun Sunday “activity”. Two of my favorite things at one time–taking pics and spending time with my dogs.  Ah…good times.

Saying thank you..

June 10, 2009 – 4:26 pm

I think, in our busy lives, we often forget to say “thank you” and we also tend to forget how much it means to hear it. I got the following letter from a client and she asked me to share it. Reading it, you will understand how it touched my heart. It only takes a moment or two to tell someone that you appreciate something. Do it. Time passes by so quickly and life goes on. But those words stay with the person forever. Thank you, Aimee, for such a beautiful and heartfelt letter.

Dear Amy -

If you will, please post the following on your website (which, btw looks great with the updates/changes you’ve made). Can’t wait to view the proofs!!:

Saying “thank you” just doesn’t convey our appreciation well enough. As you know from the history we’ve shared, the road to finally having Jonah in our life has been a very long one. Your incredible connection to us and the ability to capture all the emotion from our maternity sessions to our newborn session and I’m sure beyond, through your camera lens, is something we will be forever grateful for. Our baby is a true miracle and you have been a very special gift. Thank you doesn’t seem like enough, but we do truly thank you.

Craig, Aimee & Jonah

Aimee, Craig, and baby Jonah (8 days)

June 5, 2009 – 1:36 pm

I have to say, right off, that I just adore this family.  You might remember pics from Aimee and Craig’s maternity session (fingerpainting the belly), and now baby Jonah is here.  There are not even words for me to describe how precious this little angel is.  Watching Aimee and Craig fall in love with Jonah…it is something to behold.
Just look at this sweet boy:

Mommy…just breathing in her new baby:

Jonah, safe in Daddy’s hands:

Sweet little boy:

The whole family:

Aimee and Craig, I am so looking forward to this next year together. Thank you for choosing me to share in this wonderful time in your lives. I feel honored.
