Jess + Rob’s in-home newborn session had to be rescheduled because of snow, but oh my goodness it was worth the wait! Thursday morning I traveled down from Louisville to Frankfort, Kentucky and I was so excited for this one. Being invited into someone’s home during this special time is such a privilege, getting to watch these moments from a front row seat is something that I don’t take lightly, and when I reached Jess and Rob’s home I felt welcomed immediately. They have a two year old son (who reminded me much of my own son!) and after chatting for a bit we all went up to the nursery.

This past Sunday I met with Alexis & Eric at Beckley Creek Park in the Parklands for a very special session! Here in Louisville the temperature was only about fifteen degrees, but Alexis and Eric were all smiles the entire session – and for good reason! This special session was a pregnancy announcement session.

This past weekend I had the honor of photographing Adam and Mary Emma’s sweet little family in their Louisville home. It’s December and at a time when it’s a little too cold to go outside for long (especially with a newborn), it was the PERFECT day for this sweet in-home newborn session. These are some of my absolute favorite photos to take. I’d opt for an in-home newborn session over a studio session every day. This may seem stressful, but your home doesn’t need to be perfect!

Samantha and Daniel’s newborn session just so happened to also be their first wedding anniversary and I could feel the love walking into their home! As soon as their five year old opened the door and their two year old ran in with a snack cup, you could tell their life is full. Full of excitement and love, full of laughter and surprises. Big sister was full of smiles, and you could tell she loves to help. Little brother was full of energy, and much reminded me of my own son running around the house!
