Blessing #4 | Bloomington Newborn Photographer

I feel so blessed to have really awesome clients that keep returning and asking me to capture their these special moments in their lives. This little guy is the 4th Blessing in this beautiful family! I cannot wait to watch him grow as their children are just so funny and absolutely beautiful inside and out!

This post is a little late but just had to show off a few of them! Meet "T" and his mommy! He was just 6 days old here!

How sweet is he as he sleeps so peacefully in his mommy's arms!

I love that his mommy choose this image.....I love the smell of a new baby! Look how cute he loos just resting there!

I love just the bare skin to bare skin, can't get more natural and sweet than that!

Have  a great day!

Seriously Cute 1 Year Old

This little man was seriously soooooo cute! His blue eyes and personality were just awesome! I could post any image from this session and say it was a favorite because he just did so well and could not get any more cute!

This little guy belongs to some friends that I have known from church now for probably about 10 years.  I met his parents separately before his parents knew each other! I than had the privilege to photograph their wedding in 2003, than their maternity images last year followed by "J's" newborn images. Now to have them come back to get "J's" one year images was so much fun!  It was a great session and I know it was some hard choices but  how would you not have a hard time choosing with this cute little guy!


This has got to be one of my all time favorite images! Love the had, the expression, the toes, just every thing looks way too cute!

Hope you enjoyed and thank you to " D and A" for letting me have the privilege photograph their family as it grows!

Newborn in Bloomington

Check out this sweet little one. I will be the first to admit that she wasn't all that in favor of me taking her picture but she was so sweet when she finally decided that she was full enough to fall fast asleep!

In this first image.....her Grandma was able to come all the way from South Africa to meet her new granddaughter, so we had to get a 3 generation image!

I absolutely love this one! How cute does she look all wrapped up!

The new little family that is so in love with their little one!

"B's" mommy saw a similar image and just had to try to get this with her and thank goodness "B" was willing!

My newest favorite thing to do.....put babies in baskets! How cute does she look!

That is all for now...more to come soon! I just love newborn sessions.....they are my favorite....so glad I have two more in the next few days!
