I waited a good, long 9 months to photograph this sweet little beauty!!  Needless to say, I was very excited when she made her arrival and that all was happy and healthy.  Mom is a good friend of mine and she was gracious and willing to allow me to capture the following shot.

We chuckled that baby looks a tad “smushed” (in Mom’s words).  She was truly a good sport and amazingly fit all nice and snuggly!  I just LOVE how she is  holding on there with her left hand!

It’s no secret that I am partial to newborn photography.  To be able to capture the essence of innocence using a touch of unexpected creativity, always makes my heart skip a beat!  Miss Lucy Kate was no exception.  As you can see, she is perfect in every way and so very loved!

Congrats Mom, Dad and big brother e, may LK bring even more laughter and adventure into your lives and joy into your home.

(Fair warning: I am about to say something I have said a hundred times before… thanks for humoring me!!)

I had a difficult time picking just a few favorites, I [almost] previewed both the color and black and white version of each of these!!!

These two were loads of fun, they kept me giggling with all of their funny jokes!  I am embarrassed to admit that I can never remember a joke to save my life, usually no matter how funny it is either!  Let alone actually get it, without pondering it for a few minutes!!!  Yeah, I know the joke is usually on me!!

However, the one little joke I will always remember, my daughter told me about a year ago.  I LOVE it and pull it out at many of my sessions when the moment is in need of a good laugh…

Q:  Why did the banana go to the doctor?

A:  Because he wasn’t “peeling” well!

There you have it, my secrets revealed!!

Thanks guys for a silly time, please enjoy the preview.  I will have your entire gallery ready in the next few days!

ps.  I LOVE my job!!
