JOEY: BABY

This family holds a really special place in my heart. The hubs and I got to know them through a friend when we lived in Athens, and I'm SO happy & thankful she introduced us (thanks, Clare!). I was jump-out-of-my-seat excited when Allie & Ryan contacted me to take photos of little Joey man. He is SO handsome. I know that these parents appreciate their kiddo more than anything -- I'm so proud of them! It makes me tear up to think about how wonderful they are as parents! I loved photographing Joey. Eat up his cuteness, y'all. Those cheeks... those LIPS!

Such an adorable nursery!

Look at those eyelashes!

Even his crying photos are cute!

I had to get one of their pup, Charlie...

ELLA: BABY

You may remember this precious face on my Facebook page yesterday...

Today is the day to feature Ella! : ) While I always love the opportunity to photograph EVERY baby that I can : ), there IS a little something extra wonderful when I get to photograph a baby born to a close friend. Ella's mom, Allie, and I have been friends since high school. I can remember us in dance class and yearbook together like it was yesterday.

I was honored and humbled when Allie and Matt asked me to take photos of their fourth-month-old baby girl. Isn't she the sweetest? She has so many great expressions, and I loved the QT with her parents. : )  Allie and Matt are such naturals, and I am so proud of them! Congrats on your beautiful little bundle!

Allie MADE this mobile. How talented is she?! Mad skills!

I love Ella's nursery!

Ella looks like she's thinking about something really deeply here. : )

EEEEEE! One of my absolute faves!

Sometimes the crying ones are precious too...!

LOVE the chubby legs!!!

Love her little lips here...

That adorable black mop (hehe) in the right-hand side of the frame is their pup, Fleury. He's so stinkin' cute! For a better look at his awesome coat, go HERE. : )

I love how Ella's looking at Allie here. Melts my heart.
