Fresh 48 | Fox Family Session

This shoot may be my favorite shoot to date. Spending time with these families, whether during the birth or shortly after, you get to immerse yourself for however many hours in the pure joy and feeling of new beginning. Maybe that's why I love birth photography so much. It's a fresh start. A new beginning. A perfect baby.

Birth Photography | Higgins Birth

I briefly met Lily at a Housewife to Hostess dance party a little while back and ever since then have absolutely LOVE following her on Instagram! Her stories are my favorite because she has fabulous style, the cutest, funniest kids, and is so real and genuine, while keeping it light and mom-tastically humorous throughout!

Family | Barrett turns 2

I wrote the title for this post, then I went back and spent about 20 minutes (JK. the next HOUR) reading all the other posts about him! And even though 2 years have passed and everything has changed, at the same time, nothing has changed. Barrett is still as much the sunshine in our home as he was the moment he entered our lives. I often comment to Andrew how much I love that you can always depend on Barrett to wake up in the morning with a smile, and be granted that same gesture multiple times throughout the day.

Being a birth photographer means you get to meet all different kinds of personalities and see how delivery methods differ from each other. I've been in births where I barely spoke a word, afraid to break the silence or the focus of the mother as she brought her new child to life. I've also been in births where moms and dads crack jokes the entire time. This family was definitely the latter!

Birth Photography | Baker Birth

After over 14 hours of hard labor, Ahlisha looked at me and said, "I'm sorry, Susan. You've been here so long." I told her not to worry about it because it's all a part of the job and I didn't want to miss any of her story, and then she replied, "It's not much of a story."

Family | Christmas 2017

It seems so long ago that Christmas happened! I think that's partially because a few days before, my niece got married!

Tutorial | Tie Bell Sleeve Shirt

I think it's time for a sewing tutorial and with it being the beginning of the new year, and everyone all excited about resolutions and such, why not make THIS a resolution? After wearing this at least four days in a row after its completion, I can say that it'd be a good one to resolve to make!
