Meet Addison.She is a dreamy, angel baby.

I have done photos for Michael & Amy’s (extended) family before. Such a great group! Doing this session was something special! This baby has been prayed for and longed for and what a special gift she is! Her mommy, Amy, had so many neat things set aside, I probably could had been there all day long and shot and shot and shot had they let me.I brought some fun things to, that I had been keeping aside for her. I always like to have at least one or two things to add in to a session that is new and fresh.

Addison was a great sleeper. Once I got her shushed  she was o-u-t! SO much so that towards the end you’ll see a sweet photo of her mama actually trying to wake her. We figured we had enough sleepy pictures and that it would be fun to see her eyes open. She wasn’t overly happy with the idea but with her sweet mild self she obliged us some.Enjoy her sneak peak…I sort of went overboard on the number of images here…but how could I not!

 

There is so much meaning to some of the blankets & clothing items  used, like this patch blanket made by Addie’s auntie Becky.

Oh so proud and over-joyed!

 Here she is wearing an outfit knitted by her great-grandmother that was once Amy’s! I think the yellow was so pretty on her and makes a perfect spring outfit!

 We ventured into her sweet nursery…I just love what they did.

So many pieces were lovingly made adding such a sweet and personal touch…like the curtains made by Amy’s mom and Addie’s grandma. They were lovely!

This bonnet was another piece that was once worn by Amy.

This bonnet here was made by my sister in law, Sarah. I sent her a request and she went above and beyond…I just love it! This was the first time  using it and I think Addie was just the perfect model.

The white blanket here was made by Addie’s auntie Eva…it was so soft and beautiful!

 And here is when mama was trying to wake little Addie…so sweet.

A perfect end to our session was when grandma arrived for her visit. We had to capture the three generations. What a special time for these women!

Michael & Amy, thank you so much for having me to your home to capture this amazing time for you. Having a new baby is such a wonderful gift and I can see that you are loving  sweet Addie and thankful for each moment with her. I hope you enjoy your photo peek, I will be in touch soon!
