Will: Newborn // Washington, D.C. Newborn Photographer

Hey y'all! I'm doing my best to catch up on some blogging. : ) Last winter, I photographed baby Will and his wonderful parents. He's grown so much since this time. I love this family and hope y'all enjoy!

Hank: Newborn // Frederick, Maryland Newborn Photographer

It's always a pleasure photographing the milestones of this sweet family -- we're so fortunate to call them friends. Last month, they welcomed their fourth kiddo into the mix! I got to meet adorable Hank at 16 days old and photograph him with his older siblings (who are as goofy and lovable as ever). Enjoy these precious ones!

NICHOLAS: BABY

While I was in North Carolina a few weekends ago, I stopped at UNC-Chapel Hill (my Alma mater!) for a quick mini session of six-month-old Nicholas. He is ONE CUTE BABY. I seriously wanted to squish his cheeks the entire time. I loved his hair and his expressions cracked me up. See what I mean in my favorite photos!

Book-Themed Shower for Baby Girl Tuck

Apologies in advance, but I've got a little more bragging to do. : ) Last weekend, my parents-in-law threw the hubs and me a book-themed baby shower. It was so creative and so impressive! Everything was matched with children's books: the delicious homemade food, the favors, lanterns crafted from book pages (forgot to photograph those in the excitement of seeing everyone!), a "baby" movie word jumble, a "Very Hungry Caterpillar" cupcake display... It was all so elaborate and gorgeous! And best of all, our favorite couples in the area came and brought our baby girl some wonderful books. She has quite the beginnings of a library collection now! We just wanted to send a heartfelt thanks to everyone who made the shower, and most of all, much love to Ryan's parents for planning and executing such a beautiful afternoon. We couldn't be more grateful.

"Green Eggs and Ham" display...!

This was too clever: the "adult" beverage/punch station was matched with "Where The Wild Things Are." : )

Swedish fish for favors!

This was really special... Everyone who came to the shower wrote in this keepsake book for baby girl. : )

Stuffed animal from future Auntie Kars (who couldn't make the shower)!

Ryan with his brothers and me with my preggo friends in attendance. : )

Both sets of parents!
