Kennedy Elizabeth - Albuquerque, NM and Corpus Christi, TX Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of hanging with this little sweetie (and her awesome parents) for an entire weekend in Corpus Christi, TX. Not only did I get my newborn fix, a taste of baby fever and flooded with memories of my own tiny one, but I also got to capture some very sweet, fabulous newborn pictures.

Up until this point, I've always had very alert newborns during their shoots. Kennedy was mostly sleepy and let me squish and squeeze her around a tad bit more. She's such a good baby... not giving her gorgeous mama TOO hard of a time. Yet. There's always the teenage years for that! However, she has gotten her "beach babe" status quite early...

Congrats to Bekah and John...Cherish these tiny, timeless moments. They go by too fast! Kisses to that sweet, sweet babe for me and ENJOY your sneak peek!

Beach - Albuquerque, NM and Corpus Christi, TX Photographer

I spent this past weekend in Corpus Christi, Texas. Really, this was my first adult experience in Texas. I doubt visiting a friend in 8th grade and accompanying her church group to a water park quite counts the same. Not that I minded wearing an oversize t-shirt over my bathing suit, but come on. It's just DIFFERENT. I had big plans of experiencing Texas beer during my layover in Dallas just as a precautionary prep for the twinprop plane ride. My luck pulled through and all bars were closed at the hour I went through... thankfully I survived that flight :0)

During our shoot, we hit the beach. Yep....I let the cat outta the bag. I HAD to. Why? See below...

You'll be seeing a super adorable, uber squeezable, chunky cheeked and fantastically kissable newborn here soon. Stay tuned!

The Knaubers - Albuquerque, NM Family Photographer

I've known these guys for years now...and every single time I'm around any one of them it's guaranteed to be a good time. I was told it's been YEARS since they had family pictures taken...about time, right?!?

Last time I was in their backyard was last year and my girl Adrienne was getting married the very next day. Tom (Geez..... can I even put that instead of Coach K?!?) made a fabulous father-of-the-bride speech and what I remember the most out of it was how much he loved his wife and this fabulous family they'd built over the years. They have truly raised some amazing kiddos! Adrienne picked me (alright fine. not ME...just my work!) as the Father's Day/Birthday gift for her dad... I'm so very thankful to be here to capture these timeless memories for them!

Happy Birthday and belated Father's Day Coach! Here's just a peek :0)

Sophia Jayne - Albuquerque, NM and Colorado Springs, CO Newborn Photographer

She's finally here...and what better way to celebrate than with pictures, right?!?

We drove up to Colorado to see this little beauty in real life and she is GORGEOUS! She's got the most petite features ever...and the sweetest little cry too. She was super alert and then totally crashed out when we were done...figures, right? Can't miss any of the action!

Jason and Emily are already amazing parents and do they look rested or what?!? They were troopers letting me invade their space and take up their time too. Thanks so much guys, congrats again, and enjoy this new journey you've begun! Can't wait to see you all again soon...

(Em and I took this picture as a surprise to Jason... this is his original seat from Yankee Stadium (his fave team) complete with other baseball memorabilia)

(I *think* big brother Wrigley is handling the adjustment JUST FINE!)
