I was asked by my good friend Echo to do her little guy's newborn photos (of course at the time she didn't know he was a little guy~they were surprised!) I was excited, honored and above all nervous. I would have to say this is the hardest blog post I've ever written. When I am photographing for a regular client I know they booked me because they like my work. With Echo, she is a photographer as well and has her own unique style and way of shooting. The whole night before I hardly slept and my nerves were just coming in bunches and waves on the drive down to Dayton. Echo, I hope I captured what you wanted for Elijah's newborn session. I was thankful Brad could come home from work for a few family shots as well! You two are already such great parents! I can just see how much you love Eli (every time they look at him this humongous grins stretch across their faces! ::sigh:: I LOVE seeing that new parent joy!) Elijah is so awesome…I have several favorite Eli features so let's get to it!



I really thought Bean was still small until I held this guy…wasn't even sure he was in my arms he was so weightless! You guys enjoy every minute (even the crying ones) before you know it he will be 7months old, crawling and walking around and shouting MAMA!! Where does the time go?

I love how strong Brad looks in these photos, it's such a sweet contrast to his sweet little one.

Ok first Elijah favorite feature of mine….his blonde hair!! It's sooo white! Plus there's tons!! ::Swoon::

She looks like a pro doesn't she?


My next favorite Eli feature….his arm bracelets!! He is working hard on those bracelets and I have a feeling he will get more!

He's so tiny!!!!

Another Elijah feature…his giant hands! They might be the biggest mitts I've ever seen on a newborn, and boy does he have a grip!

Told you it is white!!!


Another favorite Eli feature…his wispy eye lashes. They are so blonde!

My most favorite Eli feature is his hair swoop! He has this cowlick in the front and it. is. AWESOME!

So…I think I have decided that Eli is Brad's duplicate…I mean look!! If nothing else this is a Brad expression.

That sweet angel face!
Brad and Echo, congrats on your new little guy. He is so sweet!! (and gorgeous of course). I can't wait to show you the rest! I have more blog posts coming up everyone (it's been super super busy around here!) Hope you all enjoy labor day! We are having a bbq for dinner! Yum!
