Meet Sweet Emma Rae!

We met the Leahy family years ago a few days after they brought Aidan home.   Fast forward a few years and they are now a proud family of four!!     Here is their most recent newborn announcement!   As usual, the left hand side shows the front of the personalized design, and the right hand side shows the back side of the design!  

Welcome Itty Bitty Kendall!!

Our last two Itty Bitty Sessions were with boys, so when showed up to capture Miss Kendall Lane's first official photos, I was ready to frill it up!    I color coordinated her announcement to match her nursery (which happens to be one of the CUTEST ones I have EVER seen!!!).      

Here is the front: 

And the back….

Welcome Itty Bitty Nora!

Welcome Itty Bitty Elena

Meet Itty Bitty Elena.   We were there over two years ago to capture her big brother, Matthew Jr's Itty Bitty Session.    I am loving this sweet, shabby-chic inspired birth announcement.     The photoshoot would not have been complete with out the oh so cute headbands from Km2!   Welcome to the world Elena Anne!    

Happy Valentine's Day!

Meet sweet Itty Bitty Juliette! What an appropriate and ADORABLE name to feature on this Valentine's Day!!! Her mama owns Km2 shoes + accessories. They make the CUTESTTTTTTT headbands, belts, shoes, accessories, and the list goes on and on. If you are looking for any final touches for your wedding day or even a gift for your bridesmaids, Kate has you covered!! There is not a time that I wear mine, and do not get some type of comment on it! Miss Juliette was no different, we had to dazzle her up with some of her mommy and Aunt's special made goods! Happy Valentine's Day Kate!! I think you and Kyle received the best Valentine ever this year.

 

Welcome Itty Bitty Talia!!

{Ash-a-ley}

Meet Talia Clementine.  She was welcomed into this world by Robert & May at home.   She is sweet perfection and so very loved.   I have been capturing this love and beauty along their journey, and have seen first hand the love they share and the beautiful miracle they now call theirs.   Congrats you two!   Can't wait to share the entire BirthStory!   

I have a feeling she is going to have blue eyes.....

Sweet, Sweet Baby. 

 In case you missed it, make sure you check out May's Ripe Belly Session.   We went to the middle of Dry Lake bed out here in Cali.   Check it out HERE.

Welcome Itty Bitty Olivia!

I am loving all things Olivia right now.   John Mayer just dropped his new album Born & Raised on 5/22 which features a song I can not seem to get out of my head titled, "Something Like Olivia".   Quick apology to Andy, Laura and baby Olivia who had to endure my attempt at singing while shooting their Itty Bitty Session.   :)    I wanted to keep this design girly, simple, and beautiful.    I used the soft color palate of neutrals, pale green, and shades of pink to keep it all flowing together.   I am in love with this little lady!!   

(one side of the announcement is on the top 1/2 below.  other side is the bottom 1/2.)

Welcome Itty Bitty Annabelle

Meet my niece, Miss Annabelle Rose!    She has been nothing less of perfect since the moment she arrived.   Blonde-ish hair, blue eyes, chubby cheeks and lips I could smooch on all day.   It was love at first sight, and getting to watch my little niece, Madelyn become a big sister and take care of her the same way my sister takes care of me humbles me.   I am quite the perfectionist....but I am absolutely in love with the final design.   I was going for the shabby-chic look, so I wanted to use the specialty ornate edging to give it that special touch.    Their full BirthStory is in the works!!!  

Welcome Itty Bitty Claire!

Meet Itty Bitty Claire!   We could not have asked for a more well behaved A+ LeLe baby for this shoot!!!   Shannon and Pat have so very much to be proud of!    Here is their personalized announcement design.....the front is on the left and the back of the design is on the right.   

Welcome to the World: Madilyn Grace

I met Madilyn's mom about six years ago.  I was honored when she asked me to capture her BirthStory.   I always knew she was going to have a girl, so it came as no surprise when she called me with the news....but when she shared the baby girl on the way's name, I could not help but smile.   It's a name that holds a pretty near and dear place to my heart......a name that my niece shares (with just a little different spelling).   Welcome to this big world Madilyn Grace.   Can't wait to share the rest of the BirthStory with y'all!  

LeLe Baby Boom of 2011 (and a little Cardinals love)

Welcome Itty Bitty Haylee AND Josh!!!!!      We have been meeting Itty Bitty after Itty Bitty.     We are so happy to introduce to two more BirthStory LeLe Babies.  First, meet Haylee....

Welcome Itty Bitty Peyton!

For anyone who may not already know....a little something something about me......I am a yogi.  I have done yoga for about 7 years.  I started teaching about 2 years ago for fun.  I made it my new years resolution to become certified.  By February, I was teaching and leading other yogis from handstands to downward dogs.  Months ago, I began to notice that one of my students was cooking up a little bun in the oven.  I gave her my card after class and she reserved her Itty Bitty session months in advance.   Here is her beautiful baby girl!    Congrats Dan and Mary!  And Mary....can't wait to have you back in our Monday and Thursday classes!!!  :)     xo   

And.......Game 6 of the NLCS starts in less than 2 hours!!!!  COME ON BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome Itty Bitty Ava!

9 Months: Growing Every Day

It is hard to believe that we just met Lola for the first time 9 months ago when she was only a few days new to this world. We have captured her Itty Bitty Session, Baptism, 3 Month, 6 Month, and most recently, her 9 month photos. A photo session every 3 months, may seem like a lot, but during that first year, that baby is changing daily....ask any parent. It is hard to believe what Lola is learning and witnessing how she is changed every couple months. This time during our visit, she was laughing, crawling, sitting up, and she was even able to point out family members in her favorite photo book. Before we know it, it will be time for her one year photo session and her 1st Birthday party. When all of this year is said and done, Mike and Jan will be able to look back at her 1st Year Book and relive all of those moments that have flown by. :)

Tears or no tears.....this little lady is cute. :)

Always time for some Mom and Dad pics.....

Welcome Itty Bitty Audrey!!!

She was always that girl in high school that everyone thought was beautiful. That girl next door/Kelly Kapowski kind of beauty. Big brown eyes, pretty long hair, and charismatic. He was the guy every girl in school had a crush on. Tall, dark, and handsome. Most people know at least one Walther....there are 5 Walther boys.....all of them equally as handsome as the next. And let's not forget the youngest Walther who had to grow up with FIVE older brothers!! :) Needless to say, Audrey is welcomed into a big family that is full of aunts and uncles ready to spoil the crap out of her! This little lady will have no shortage of love and adoration.

Each Walther is good at something; everything from sports to carpentry work to a musician that with such a stage presence you could listen to him strum along all day. And then there is Dave, he is a tried and true cowboy. Kellee is his cowgirl. They live in the country on lots of property...and horses! :) We had to incorporate a little bit of this All-American couple into Audrey's pics. And Kellee- I was serious....anytime you want to go riding, CALL ME! :) Enjoy every moment with your beautiful girl that you are so clearly in love with. I can't wait to see her again!

And the back of Ms. Audrey's announcement....

We had Dave bring in a saddle for the shoot.....This shot was no easy task, but SO worth it!! :)

My favorite pose of the day..... I had to do something with their cowboy boots(complete with spurs), and then had to incorporate their wedding pic into our vintage suitcase......ok, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this one!

I LOVE this one!!! You are so beautiful, Kel!! It looks like Audrey could not be any more comfortable than she is in this pic!

Did I tell you they were a good looking Mr. and Mrs. or WHAT!? :)

So safe and comfortable in Daddy's arms.

I LOVE this one!!!

And here is her adorable nursery....
