Cole is six months! | Connersville Area Family Photographer

I've been photographing Cole since before he was born (I did his momma's maternity session), so it's always fun to see how much he has grown!

Introducing Emery Alise | Connersville Area Newborn Photographer

This past week, I was able to go visit one of my closest friends while she, her husband, and her two boys eagerly awaited the arrival of their beautiful daughter.  Wednesday night, she went in for a scheduled induction because the ultrasounds had shown no growth for the baby girl in the past couple weeks, and they showed a very weak placenta.  I stayed at their home with the boys and in the morning, I got them off to school.  I headed to Starbucks and as I pulled into the hospital parking lot, I got a text that Jess was 8 cm.  (When I left the house less than half an hour earlier than that, she was only at a 4).  By the time I got up to labor and delivery, she was practically pushing and I got a text, within seconds almost of walking through the elevator, that I could come on back and meet miss Emery.

I was able to capture so many first moments immediately after the birth and it was so amazing to be there and experience this!

Emery Alise was born at 39 and a half weeks, weighing 7 lb and 15 oz. How amazing is that??? The doctors were suprised, as were mommy and diddy :)

 

Brand new to the world, and already breaking hearts....she is absolutely precious!

This is one proud father who is already wrapped around that precious girl's finger =]

Time to snuggle with momma for a bit...

 

 

Time to get all cleaned up...

 

Diddy took this time to leave and go pick up the anxious big brothers from school. Momma and I took this time to sneak in a few more pics.  How could we not want to play dress up with this beautiful girl?!

 

 

 

Christian and Leighton, meeting Emery for the first time...

 

 Leighton's first question, of course, was how the doctors got Emery out.

 

Jason's mom arrived, I took a few more pictures, and then I left so they could spend some time together as a family.  I am so thankful I was able to be apart of such a special day.  Congratulations Jason, Jess, Christian, and Leighton.  Emery is perfect.

I am so glad that I got to photograph this family before they leave for Ghana.  They are always such an encouragement and example to my husband and me and this afternoon was just what I needed.  I got to chat with Jennifer for a while and I'm so glad I got that time with her.  Here are just a couple more from their session. (I don't want to spoil them all!)

Happy first birthday, Penelope! | Connersville area childrens photographer

Oh, Penelope... It's so hard to believe you are one. You are such a joy (even if you do sleep worse than you did as a newborn...*yawn*). We love you so much!

 

I know I'm biased, but I sure do think she has the prettiest smile!

They love each other so much =]

One of my favorties.  We went to this old victorian park in Northville, MI.  It was beautiful.

Penny was a little unsure about what she shold be doing with cake...

My favorite <3
