Our Little Peach Has Arrived!

My daughter, Emmaline Grace, arrived early morning at 12:32am on Friday, July 12th 2013. 7lbs & 20.5 inches. She is just the sweetest darling & my husband and I are so in love with her! Liam and Christian have been such sweet big brothers during this time. It has been a big adjustment with 3 children under the age of 3, but such a blessing... We feel truly grateful. Welcome, Little Miss Emmaline! <3 

Welcome, Baby D!

Welcome, little baby D! When family friends inquired about having me photograph their little guy months before he was born, I knew it would be tricky, since my little guy's due date was 10 days earlier than theirs, but I wanted to make it happen for them. We pulled off a mini-shoot and I am so happy I got to meet & photograph, little D. He's so beautiful! My little Christian slept in his swing throughout the shoot and Liam was with Daddy at music class for most of the time, so we made it work! Thanks, S, for keeping Liam entertained towards the end of the visit- he enjoyed having you here! Congrats, S & D on a gorgeous baby boy! <3

 This blanket was D's father's baby blanket - I LOVE the sentimentality!

Welcome, Our LIttle Christian!

Welcome to the world, little Christian Michael Finnegan!

We are just so in love with our new baby. Christian was born on May 18th, 2012 at 11:55am. He was 6 lbs. 13 oz & 19.75 inches long. His brother, Liam (21 months old), has welcomed him so lovingly.


 Here are photos from his photo shoot at 5 days old. I shot them in our bedroom. Christian was 4 days old for the image I shot (above) for his birth announcement. Just look at that sweet little face... We are feeling very blessed!

Welcome to the world little Baby M! This sweet little man was so content being nuzzled up with his mommy and what a lucky boy he is to have such a sweet big brother! Thank you for having me, E & R. Congratulations on a beautiful baby boy!

Welcome Newborn D!

This pretty little lady, newborn baby "D" was just a pleasure to photograph. Just look at those sweet little toes!  I loved the baby blankets that D's parents, A & M, had for her -I used one in one of the shots below. So pretty! Congrats A & M - she's perfect! Also, congrats & thank you to E on your first beautiful grandchild!

A Sweet Early Christmas Present - Welcome Newborn M

This itty-bitty beauty arrived several weeks early. Newborn Baby "M" was just 5 lbs. when I photographed her sweet little features. Just look at those pouty lips!!!  L & T, I'd say this has got to be the best early Christmas present anyone could imagine! Enjoy your little sweetheart - she is absolutely precious! Thank you so much, and also, thank you, A, for purchasing this gift certificate. And here are a few shots from Baby M's session...

Sweet Baby O

Awww....This little sweetheart was so alert for the first couple hours until she gave into sleep. What a cutie! Newborn Baby O was such a pleasure to photograph. Thank you K & M - she is beautiful!

Welcome Sweet Newborn "G"!

Just look at those juicy, pouty newborn lips! So pretty...I had the pleasure of photographing little "G" here at 7 days old. What a beauty!... Like a little porcelain doll.  She did a wonderful job of staying sleepy for me and what a blessing to have 4 generations of women in the family at the home during G's shoot. Thank you & congratulations, J & V, on your first child!
