Newborn: Childs Family

Newborn: Emily Grace

Seems like yesterday I was at the hospital photographing Miss Emily Grace, now she is two weeks old. This little bundle of joy was so excited for me to take her photo that she was wide eyed and awake for over half of the time I was at her house. Her momma, Renee was calm and soothed her to sleep and we got these beautiful shots of little Emmie.

Moments after momma soothed her to sleep. Just the sound of mommas voice calmed her...it was so sweet.

Sleeping Beauty

This little bonnet was made by Emmie's grandma...she will one day use it as a handkerchief in her wedding:) This material she is wrapped in was in her Great Grandma Kitchen and was sewn into a blanket by her other grandma and Auntie while they prayed over Emmie and her momma. Love the history in this photo.

Newborn: Emily

Miss Emily Grace was born On February 26th, just missing a leap year birthday:) Fortunately for her mom, she came earlier than expected. Here are a few photos of her at the hospital the day after she was born.

Maternity Portrait: Childs

Bryan and Renee were expecting there baby girl to make her arrival sometime next week. To there surprise she came the day after we took these photos. We were a little bit limited because Renee had been on bedrest for about a week and could only stand for a few minutes at a time, regardless though they turned out beautiful. Renee was glowing. I told her she should be a model because she is so photogenic. Here are a few of the results.

Ocho Cinco was the nickname that they had for the baby before they found out she was a girl, but it stuck:)

Real Estate Photography: Shadow Grove For Sale

Even though my passion is for portrait photography, I have been dabbling in the real estate photography world lately. I have become Dave Knight's personal real estate photographer. He challenged me to learn the art of triple exposure photography also known as High Dynamic Range (HDR), so I have been working on that. He has been happy with my work:) He uses all my original work on his website.
