That’s what our family is going to be experiencing this year…..we have three babies all due by November….it’s going to be an exciting year!

While in Michigan last week, I did a quick mini session for another one of my nieces. Molly is 22 weeks along with her first baby….a boy….due in November. She isn’t super large yet but just starting to get a cute little baby bump so I thought it would be nice to get a few images of her now. She and her husband, Jamie, are hoping to make a trip down here to Florida sometime in September so I will have a fun time doing another session with them! Congrats Miss Molly….I know you are going to be a great mama!

I also got a couple of images of my two nieces together….Stacy (from my previous blog post) is on the left (34 weeks) & Molly is on the right (22 weeks).

We had a great time visiting our family in Michigan last week. While I was there, I got the opportunity to do a 34-week maternity session for my niece Stacy. Stacy and her husband Craig are expecting their first baby…a boy….in August. I am so excited for them and I just know they are going to make great parents….this will be one lucky little boy! I can’t wait to meet him!

I had the pleasure of having a mini maternity session with the nicest little family yesterday evening. N and T are expecting their first baby….a boy….in about 3 weeks. You can tell just how over the moon they both are waiting for his arrival. I know how nervous they both were to have their picture taken so I hope I was able to make the process as comfortable as possible for them. They were a lot of fun to shoot. Stay tuned in June for pictures of their newest addition!

L is about 25 weeks along and we thought it would be nice to get a few belly pics in now….planning to do another session when she’s approaching her due date….hopefully we can convince her husband and her little girls to join in on the fun during the next session.

Baby Shower Fun-Pensacola Beach Maternity Photographer

I had the pleasure of capturing a baby shower for K this past Sunday. It was held at a restaurant on the beach and was very cute and casual. K is due to have her first baby….a BOY….in about 5 weeks….and she asked if I would come and capture some candids of her shower because it was very special to her and she wanted to make sure she preserved the moments. I met some really nice people and it was so much fun to watch her open her gifts! You could sense how excited everyone is over the impending birth of this child. And K….well, she glowed. Not all pregnant women glow….I think that’s a myth…..but K definitely had that glow. K, thank you SO much for inviting me to such a special moment in your life. I can’t wait to do your maternity and newborn pictures!

Before I post anything about my next session….I just want to apologize for my turnaround time on everyone’s proofs for the past few weeks. I have had severe computer issues that were causing my editing work to go extremely slow and after trying everything I could to get my computer fixed, I ended up having to finally get a brand new computer. I really shouldn’t have had to since my “old” computer was barely a year old….but it stopped working and I was beyond frustrated….so my wonderful husband….and I do mean wonderful….drove 3.5 hours to the nearest Apple store the other night and picked up a new one for me….so I am finally able to get caught up on everyone’s proofs and orders! Alright….onto my next session….

I got to meet up with a large family a few weeks ago…..seven children…..yes….SEVEN. Of course, they aren’t all siblings….I actually went to school with R and she has 3 beautiful little girls….and R’s sister’s 4 children came along to join in on the fun as well. The cousins ranged from ages 10 months to 14 years….I have to admit that this was a challenging session to do….to try to incorporate all the children together….especially the two 2 year olds (who were quite uninterested in the whole process)….was definitely challenging. The children were very sweet though….not to mention they all had gorgeous eyes….I don’t think any of the children had the same colored eyes but they were all equally beautiful. We did our best to get some nice shots of all the kiddos….we started in a local park and used the trees as shade from the direct harsh light of the morning. Afterward, we tried to move to a more urban area downtown but the light was too harsh by this point and the smaller children were really over having their pictures taken as well so it was time to call it a day

Hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!

I had the pleasure last week to photograph a family who is very near and dear to me…..the C family. I met S last year as she was my son’s kindergarten teacher and our family just adores her (my son says he’s going to marry her one day ). I honestly don’t know where my son would be today without this lovely lady who we were very blessed to have come into our lives. Her husband, B, is a minister at a local church and they have 2 very beautiful, precious children…..S who is 10 and M who is 7. M is just darling….I absolutely loved his toothless grin. And I have to say that S is becoming quite a little lady….she’s just beautiful and I am in love with the pictures I got of her. I captured numerous images of the children together and alone as well as some family images. B’s brother, B, was visiting and came along to join in on the fun as well. These two fun brothers decided to give us a musical treat when they played their guitars out in my field. We were racing against the light but it was such a fun session. I have to say that I know that this family cherishes each other every single day and they feel truly blessed with all the little adventures that life throws at them.

I hope you enjoy your sneak peek C family!

I had the pleasure of having a session last week with the D family. I actually went to high school with S but haven’t seen her in probably 15 years now (wow, that makes me feel old!) It was so nice getting to see her again and meeting her beautiful family. Her husband joined for some family pictures and then headed off to go hunting while we tried to capture the kiddos. S told me that her son, B, might be hard to photograph….but he was more than willing and did such a great job for me. And her daughter, H, was a total ham from the get go. I absolutely adored her children….they were beautiful and fun.

Here’s your sneak peek D family! I hope you enjoy them!

I had the pleasure of meeting the R family Thursday evening. They had two precious boys. K was a handsome young man….and although he told me he didn’t have a girlfriend, I’m thinking that possibly he might have a few of them And Little H gave me a run for my money. He had tons of energy and honestly could have cared less about me or my camera being stuck in his face. Here’s a sneak peek mom and dad….hope you enjoy!

First Baby Girl-Pensacola Newborn Photographer

Amanda — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 02:06:19 +0000

I had the pleasure of photographing little Brylee yesterday. She was just a beautiful baby. Beautiful skin….beautiful little features….sweet as could be….and she was my very first girl baby too! Brylee was a little older than most of the newborns I shoot. She was 3.5 weeks old and I typically try to make sure I do my newborn sessions before the babies hit the 2 week mark….as a rule, they are sleepier and curlier during that first 2 week period and definitely tolerate me messing with them a lot better. Considering Brylee’s age, she did very well. She didn’t really want to stay asleep for me for the majority of the session but she did finally fall asleep toward the end and I was able to capture some lovely shots of her. I wasn’t able to change her positioning too much as she stirred easily but I’m quite happy with the pictures I was able to get and I surely hope her parents love them. Thanks Mom, for letting me come by and play with her!

I’m starting a little something new here on the blog too….parents, if you get 15+ comments….you get a free 5×7!
