baby girl | fort worth, tx newborn photographer

Ummm hellooooo... could this baby girl be any more beautiful? Her hair. Her perfect face. Ugh. To die for. And she stayed perfectly asleep preffty much the whole time. I just love easy shoots!The cocoon and pettiskirt are beautiful creations from Adora Belle (www.shopadorabelle.com).

Isn't she just an angel? And those cheeks! How great are those cheeks? I am pretty in love with this 1 month old... well maybe because it's my baby, Finley. 1 month already! What an amazing month it has been.

This was a product shoot for Creative Kiwi. I have photographed her hats before. She has cute hats and adorable baby booties! I added the bows to the hats in these pictures to show how you can change them up to match any outfit or photoshoot. Check out her site HERE.

Now that Finley is a little over 2 weeks old, I think it is time to wrap up her newborn sessions- I mean the kid has only had about 50 sessions now. I tried so hard to get pictures of Harper and Finley together. I even busted out the sucker bribe. The first two pictures are the only two decent shots I got of them together, but I'll take it! This weekend I start back with sessions, so check back for pictures of more cuteness!

The adorable pixie hats are from the wonderful Mrs. Jackie from Totz Hatz. Her products are all throughout my blog and website. Check out her boutique HERE, her ETSY site HERE and Facebook fan page HERE.

Since Finley begged me to take more pictures of her, I decided to set up another shoot. :)

She's here! She's here! My baby girl is finally here!!! Finley Jacqueline was born on April 23 at 12:23 weighing 8 lbs 2 oz. This delivery was even easier than my first! After 4 easy hours of labor Finley arrived with a full head of crazy black hair! Here are only a few of her newborn portraits... I am obsessed with the first one. I can't wait to post more pictures of my sweet girls- you know there are lots more to come.

You probably remember this cutie pie's beautiful mama.....

Well, of course she delivered a beautiful boy! Sawyer is absolutely perfect. He is lucky to be born into such a sweet family. His sister loves it when he wrinkles his forehead. She calls it his "old man face". This little man is going to be well taken care of by his big sister.

Kelli- congratulations on your beautiful family. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this special time in your life. It has been a pleasure photographing your memories.

the next month | Cherished Memories Photography

The next 4 weeks are going to be amazingly nuts around here! My sweet baby is going to be a big sister in the morning!!!! I am scheduled to deliver my second daughter tomorrow. I am having every mixed emotion possible- everything from crazy excitement, to exteremely nervous about how life is going to change, to complete guilt thinking Harper is going to feel replaced, to feeling overwhelmed with blessings. Do you think the hormones are setting in or what?

I will still be holding a few sessions over the next few weeks- 2 newborns (both in the next week), a 1 year session, a 6 month session, 2 product shoots, a mommy and me session, and lots and lots of pictures of my baby girls. Everything is scheduled to jump right back into multiple sessions a week starting May 29th. Summer sessions are flying so contact me if you want to reserve your time.

I'll have pictures up this weekend of my princesses!!!!

(the loves of my life)

Nothing is more precious than those first few weeks with your baby. It is so important to capture those moments before they pass.....

more Love | fort worth newborn photographer

I couldn't stop myself.... I had to post this pom pom hat picture. Jamie pointed out to me that JP may be flipping me the bird! It cracks me up every time I look at it!!!! The other 2 just melt my heart. I just love this little man. :)

Baby Love | fort worth newborn photographer

Heeeeee's here! Baby Love has arrived! He is 5 days old... so sweet, so little, and so new. I just love him. He was funny to photograph. He would fall asleep just long enough for us to pose him and get "the shot". Then he would wake up and fuss! A passy and a quick cuddle from mom or dad was all it took for him to get ready for the next shot. Mom and Dad have waited a long time for him. He is the true definition of a blessing.

Congratulations Jamie and Greg. I feel fortunate to be a part of capturing John Parker's milestones over the next year. Many memories to come!
XOXO~ Melissa
