Welcome Austin Cole Brown!

Ashlyn has become a big sister and couldn't be more pleased!  Sweet Austin was born in May and has evened out this wonderful family.  So far he's an easy baby in my book.  He feel fast asleep and played his role as squishy, huggable, kissable newborn perfectly for pictures!  Here's hoping that he enjoys my camera as much as his sweet big sister!  Welcome to the world Austin!

Max!

I had the opportunity to take pictures of a friend's sweet little newborn, Maxwell and I love every chance I can get to play with little ones. Max was just so calm and easy. He didn't mind being the star. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get over earlier than him turning nearly 3 weeks old, but the sweet little newborn yumminess was still just as great!

Just look at that sweet little face!

This is especially for Grandma Scales who has a special connection with Max's dad and bears! Plus, she made the blanket Max is wrapped in! Definitely a well loved little guy!

Baby feet are the best!

Mom can't get enough of her sweet boy!

Neither can Dad!

Big sister, Kirsten is very smitten with the new addition.

Thank you Scales family for letting me play with you all!

Welcome to the world sweet Max!

Ashlyn Turns 3 Months Already!

Wow! Has it really been that long already? It's crazy enough that my kids grow and change as fast as they do, but babies I photograph seem to grow even faster! Sweet Ashlyn, has the most adorable chubby cheeks, just too hard for anyone to resist. She was a really good sport about being propped up and posing for pictures, just taking it all in. I'm sure she's just itching to stand up and run from me and my camera calling out for me to catch her if I can. And I'll bet before I know it, in a blink of an eye, she will be!

All tuckered out. Being a model is really hard work!

Introducing Ryan Ruffner!

The wait is over! Ryan has made his appearance into the world, April 11th. In actuality, Ryan came nearly 3 weeks early despite his parents and doctors attempts to keep him warm and snugly for a bit longer. He was too anxious to get meet his family who are all so smitten with him, I don't think he hardly has a chance to be put down. But since he came early, he deserves all the extra love they want to give him. He's really a little trooper by not making things too difficult on his first time parents instead just giving them just enough sleep to function and make sure they know who's boss!

In contrast to other newborn pictures I've done, he is such a tiny little thing. He didn't mind swaddling but there was no way he was going to put up with being naked for pictures. That's okay since I didn't have the heart to torture too bad, especially considering that I'd love to keep taking pictures of his sweet little face!

So without further ado, please meet Mr. Ryan Ruffner!

Welcome to the world sweet boy!

Welcome Ashlyn Kenidy!

I have had the privilege of taking pictures of Dusty & Nicole for the last couple of years. I shot their engagement pictures as well as their wedding. This time around I had the fun of playing with 9 day old Ashlyn Kenidy. What a doll. She was so easy and content. Just a sweet little baby who is going starting out being quite the wonderful model for me! She and I are going to get along quite well as I continue to photograph her first year!

Beautiful start to their family!
