This beautiful girl came to the studio when she was 3 weeks old.  Her mom and dad brought things from their home that reflect their love of the outdoors, of hunting and fishing and nature.   We used their items and mine to create these images.  Sweet AJ apparently loved being swaddled, since she slept all the way through.  She slept until it was time to eat and go home.

This gorgeous boy was very curious about what was going on in the studio. We'd get him asleep and his eyes would pop back open.  He was a darling and did let me rock and pat him, he liked that.  With my youngest grandchild being 2 soon, it always feels nice to hold a new baby.

He came just 6 days after we went to his families' Weatherford farm to photograph his mom, dad and big brother. 

Our one reference to Christmas, I made this darling hat.With his First Christmas right around the corner, we thought it would be fun to put on a fun Santa hat. Sweet boy in a comfy bowlNiallan sure liked being swaddled. I wrapped him up in this wrap and he rested on the nice wool bowl filler I made.. He loved it and slept a while.
