Last weekend I had the pleasure of spending the weekend in Nashville to attend to attend Kelley Ryden’s Newborn Posing Workshop hosted by the uber-fabulous Mandy Johnson at her gorgeous loft (um, can you say jealous??)!  I think you will agree with me when I say they both have amazing work!  It was a privilege to learn from Kelley & her sister, Tracy, who are 2 of the best in the business when it comes to newborns.  I am so excited to share some of my images from the weekend.

I will be putting my new knowledge to work this weekend when I photograph baby Madison!  Be sure to check back soon to see how they turned out!

Here you go!

Image #13, Caroline!!!!  Congratulations to her and her mom & dad!  I have your print ready to enjoy!

If these two beautiful babies look familiar, it’s because this is their second session with me.  They are enrolled in my Baby’s First Year program, so you’ll see them a few more times this year.  And let me just say, they can’t take a bad picture!  I just love twins!  I love that they have such unique personalities even when they look so much alike! It’s just totally fascinating!

Here are Jameson & Sutton, Part 2!

As an adoptive mom myself, I love doing these sessions.  If you are not familiar yet, I’ll explain.  Once a month, I will donate a session to a family who has adopted a child within the past 12 months.  This is Gary and Melanie’s family.  Gary, Melanie, Connor and Camryn welcomed Chloe into their family just about a year ago.  She has had to adjust to a new family, new culture and new language!  By God’s amazing grace, she is doing it very, very well!  This family is just awesome!  I really enjoyed our afternoon out shooting!

So, because I had so many that I liked, you better sit back with a cozy blanket and some hot cocoa or a cup o’ joe, ’cause this one’s going to take a while! 

Enjoy the pictures!
