And here he is….Miles! Once again, I felt blessed to capture these photos of tiny 3 day old Miles for his Daddy, who wouldn’t get to meet him until he was one month old.

He was so tiny and so perfect for his session!

I was lucky enough to photograph the birth of Miles. His Daddy was all the way across the world, but he was connected by a telephone. He coached his wife over the phone throughout labor and he heard the first cries. He couldn’t see or touch his new son though. These photos are his connection to the moment his new baby arrived in the world. I have made a video showcasing the most amazing moments of Miles’ arrival. Here is a link to view the video:

I will be posting three of Sarah’s sessions back to back- maternity, birth, and newborn.  This pretty girl spent most of her pregnancy alone. Her husband was deployed, so all of these photos have such a special meaning. I am grateful to capture these moments that he was not here to witness. By the way, have you ever seen such a pretty expecting mama?

Here are some images from big boy Cody’s 8 month Baby Steps program. I love developing friendships with my Baby Steps families and I am sad to think of them ‘graduating’ at their baby’s first birthday!

Now that my giveaway is done (thanks for participating!) I am going to resume playing catch up on my blog! This is one year old Gabe from back in February. This little guy is special to me since he was the very first newborn that I  ever photographed. He is so very precious!

What a dream- this little guy was perfect in every way. He was calm for some awake shots, then slept right on through the rest of his session. And what cute hair, right? I feel lucky that I will be seeing him again when he turns 4 months old!
