baby tate

Newborns. They are perfection in every single way. When I went to photograph this tiny 3-week old baby I didn't realize how much I would ache for those long nights and everything that comes with the newborn phase! I melted when I held her in my arms and I actually, momentarily wished Elliot was new again. Like, so new he can't do anything, new. I know every new mom is exhausted, and maybe that's why we can look back so fondly because we all know how tough, yet rewarding motherhood is.

This happy happy family made for beautiful sweet photos. Thank you for letting me be a part of your morning and to meet your sweet babes!

Missy and Ryan have been long-time clients of mine since they hired me for their wedding back in 2010. It's safe to say they're much more to me now ... I like to consider us friends. When I heard they were expecting a baby boy my heart soared! These two deserve nothing but happiness and a sweet bundle of joy to fill their home.
