I’ve been waiting on the sidelines for a few months, just waiting to heal from chemotherapy so I could get back to loving on the sweet babies. Lainey was one of my first sessions back in the studio, and oh my goodness, did this session deliver!
I have to lead off with this set because I loooove this mint green romper (available in the studio wardrobe!) and the light – this beautiful, natural light!

Sweet Lainey was such a doll during her session! And I love that mom had a bag full of simple bows in every color to match each outfit! They all worked perfectly – and has me thinking I need to get more bows in the studio wardrobe!

I’m so glad Lainey’s mom went with the First Year Anthology, because I’ll get to see this sweetie again for her first birthday in December! And I’ll get to see big sister Kinsley, who did a baby’s first year package just a few years ago – gosh, time sure flies! Look how big she is now! And such a great big sister!

I love that mom and dad now each have a little mini-me!
Have I mentioned how happy I am to be back in the studio? 🙂 Thank you, sweet Lainey girl and family for being the best welcome back committee!
The studio calendar is open for September into the new year! Be sure to book your newborn, maternity, or baby’s first year sessions early for best availability.
