Maternity | Candace

This pretty little mama-to-be will be expecting her bundle of joy any minute now!  Literally!  So exciting.  I have known Candace since high school & over the years I have gotten to know her family.  They're all such a sweet & fun bunch!  This is Zach & Candace's first child together.  The joy and excitement definitely shows!  Big sister, Chloe, is just as excited!  I met Candace, her husband, & his daughter at Lake James State Park for this session.  Ah, I am just so thankful to live in SUCH a beautiful area!  I can't get over it, & I can't get over these images!  Enjoy!

Newborn | Stella

When I arrived at baby Stella's home, her parents probably thought I was moving in!  I had our truck full of props because you never know what you may decide to use!  Stella slept the entire time of our session.  Newborn sessions aren't always rainbows & butterflies, but Stella rocked hers!  We had her model of a big sister, Ivy, get in some of the shots as well.  Of course, I knew Ivy wouldn't say no!  She loves having her picture taken.  She always does so well at looking at the camera & posing.  Ivy can help us train Ms. Stella to do the same ;)  Big sister was such a big help to her mom & I during our time.  I just can not get over these beautiful girls!  Enjoy!!

Stella's grin!  Ah, melt.my.heart.

If I would have known that I wouldn't have woken Stella up, I would have squealed when she smiled while sleeping!  It was adorable.  I really got super lucky with all of her little grins!

And just because I had to snap a few pictures of Stella's big sister - here's the gorgeous Ms. Ivy!
