There are so many wonderful moments that a photographer gets to share with their clients. One of the most beautiful and miraculous times is when parents are expecting a new baby and even more so when we get to meet those little miracles.

When Jamie contacted me, there was an urgency in her request… Her baby was due within the week. WOW!!! This was to be a first.  Having had three beautiful children of my own I knew just how special this time was for Jamie and Paul. So we did her maternity session right away.

Jamie and I chatted through the entire session, she is wonderful person,  who felt more like a friend than a client. :)  Did I forget that she is stunning…

SO I photographed Jamie on Sunday….

And Jackson was born on Tuesday!!!  That was definitely a first.   The little man was 5 days old at his newborn session and completely adorable.

Jamie and Paul, thank you for letting me share these special moments with you.

Hugs, Shannon

It was so much fun photographing Raye and Casey,  it was so obvious how in love they are and what wonderful parents they are going to make.  They definitely keep each other laughing and I had my share of laughs when I was with them.

I have known Raye forever, and seeing her so happy was such a joy. If you’ve ever heard of the “pregnancy glow”, well she has it. Only 21 days to go!! I can’t wait to meet their little man.

Photographing babies and children is always one of my favorite kinds of sessions, and usually the most challenging.  :)  Little Miss “E” was three weeks old when I got to photograph her, she is so alert and was watching me the entire time except for when she accidently fell asleep, but that only lasted a few minutes.   Her parents cracked me up, Miss “E” is their first and she has their number.

What made the day even better was that my oldest daughter was my “assistant”,  some day she’ll probably be my boss. She’s got my number too.

So tomorrow is the big day for a super sweet couple. Wendy and Thad will be meeting their brand new baby girl, Emily. The day I met them at the park, they were heading home to put the final touches on the baby’s nursery.  I’ll be praying for you all tomorrow. We can’t wait to meet your little angel baby very soon. Hugs…
