Miss Emily was such an adorable little model. I made the trip over to her house here in Granbury for her newborn pictures, and we set up “shop” on her back porch. I mean, really, in July, it’s plenty hot outside without having to turn a heater on inside, so Mom and Dad were game to allow for some outdoor time for Miss Emily. First we got to explore her room and some of the fun hats from family, a sweet hat and blanket combo from grandmother, and firefighter items that belonged to Daddy. Then, as we set up outside, I spotted more goodies in the form of freshly painted (but dry) furniture! She was such a dream…and she is SO loved by a big brother who wanted to be in on the action, too!

The hat was too cute already, and then to find the newly painted shelf was too much!

I’m telling you, brother was keeping his eye on us! Now whether he wanted to play or whether he was watching over little sister, I’ll let you decide

Miss Anna waltzed in the world  (don’t you wish it was that easy?!) to meet her mom, dad and big brother, at 6 lbs 3 oz. When I spoke to Anna’s mom about photographing her precious newborn days, I was giddy with excitement. Honestly, I get super excited about every newborn session, but Miss Anna came at a time when the trend had been bouncing baby boys. Don’t get me wrong, I love my baby boys, but I like to go back and forth with my props, and it was time for some flowers and frills! Anna was the perfection of little girl frill and fun. Mom brought an adorable zebra hat with pink flower, so I got to get my girl fix! Last time I saw her, she was just as beautiful as in the first days. Thank you, Mom & Dad (and little big brother) for coming over and allowing me to capture the first images of sweet Anna.

There is something so precious and perfect about a new baby in Daddy’s hands. I think it reminds me of being in the hands of my heavenly Father.
