When sessions include babies, bonnets and grandpas, I’m thrilled. 
I hope you had a restful Sunday. Still so grateful to be meeting in person again with our church family. 
The most adoring parents. 
Hey everyone! It’s Friday, the sun is shining and I just finished the lawn so everything feels right in the world. 😌 A few fun facts about me: 1. I’m an extrovert and love meeting new people but I relish time at home. 2. Pizza crusts must be dipped in ranch dressing. 3. Table manners are my biggest pet peeve next to littering. 4. I’ve always adored babies and would happily hold a crying baby night or day. (I dream of being a baby consultant…if that’s even a thing.) 5. Punctuality is very important! I grew up in a big family and farm life always had unpredictable situations that made us run late for everything so I may be reacting just a bit to that. ☺️ 6. Connection runs as deep as trust with me. If I feel connected to someone -friends, clients, neighbors- I’ll do everything in my being to keep it. ❤️ Tell me one thing you can relate to as well! 
I’ve never witnessed a baby respond to her parent’s voices as little Shea does. If she was the wee bit sad Mother would come and soothe her and immediately she would start to smile. She was in the NICU for four months and it’s amazing the power of speaking to your child. Singing. Reading books. It does more for their development and safety than we will ever know. 
Best ways to support a small business? • 1. Leave a Google review. This is incredibly beneficial in how many people can view your business on Google. 2. Refer a friend. This is the biggest compliment to me. If I love you, I’ll love your friends! It’s so fun serving a community with connections. 3. Share on social. Chances are your friends live nearby. With sharing on your social media it helps spread the word about the small businesses you love. 4. Tag your images. If a person loves your photos and can find your photographer by one simple step...so helpful! 5. Comment on their work. Sure, it helps with algorithms but we pour our heart and soul in our work and it simply means the world to us! PC: @marie.elizabeth.photo 
I look for the quiet moments during a session. Organic. Unposed. Beautiful. 
I adore photographing babies. But I love getting to know their families too. The personalities of older siblings and fun little dynamics that each family brings. ❤️
