Mason | DFW Newborn Photography

When I met Mason's mommy, I thought she was probably the teeny-tiniest mom-to-be I had ever seen. Just so cute. Her little bundle of joy arrived a bit earlier than expected, like a WEEK after we shot her maternity pictures, and he is a tiny little adorable peanut too.

His mama was a little worried about him being fussy, and I don't think any of then had gotten much sleep the night before, but he was a complete angel throughout the entire morning we spent together. I think babies like to fuss the most when it's just mom and dad around :) Exhaustion aside, Mason is one loved little boy, and judging by his packed closet, is going to be the best dressed baby in their neighborhood.

PS-See if you can spot the photo of him clutching his mama's hair. It's one of my favorites :)

James | Fort Worth Newborn Photography

When my daughter was born, my dad brought us the cradle he made before I was born, that both I and my brother used. He had special pink bedding made for it and all. It was incredibly special, and still sits in our guest room right now because the thought of putting it up in the attic makes me so, so sad.

This bassinet has a similar story, though much, much older, and it just made me smile when I heard it. The white wicker bassinet that you will see about halfway through this post was not just used by one or two generations before James. It was used by mom's grandma. So many babies!

I remember specifically asking our sweet photographer to get some images of Adalyn in that cradle, and I was thrilled to be able to do the same for James' family. Babies don't fit in these very long, and it is incredibly special to have photos of these heirlooms.

Welcome to the world Baby James! You were brought home to a house full of color and light and love. And a sassy big sister who will one day be  your very best friend. :)

Waiting on Baby | Fort Worth Maternity Photographer

I met this adorable couple prior to this shoot at a local coffee shop, and we chatted and got to know each other and it was fun! But I didn't expect to show up at their home for mama's maternity session and feel like I was an old friend. These guys are the absolute sweetest and I truly felt like I had known them way longer than the two weeks I had. We picked out wardrobe, and talked baby stuff, and hung out in the nursery for while....and got some beautiful pictures of this stunning mom to be.

These guys are going to be amazing parents. You can feel the excitement and love in their home, and I know they are so ready to meet this little girl.
