Baby C [Iowa City, IA Newborn Photography]

Sweet Baby C was born at the beginning of the month, just a few weeks early so he was still a tiny little guy when I got to meet him last Sunday afternoon. His parents, A and K are so sweet and just thrilled with the new addition to their little family.

C's parents had a ton of great items that they wanted to incorporate into the session, blankets, hats, a collar, and books that belonged to each of them when they were babies (which I love!!) or made by family. A & K - Thank you again for allowing me to photograph your family. Congrats on the birth of little C, I hope you guys like the preview!

Kelly and Nic [North Liberty, IA Maternity Photography]

You all may recognize this couple as the owners of an amazing children's boutique that opened this year in North Liberty. Kelly and Nic own and operate Itsy Bitsy Boutique (I buy all my baby gifts here, love this place!!) and are also expecting their first baby, a little boy, in October.

We had the most perfect day for this session, and to make my job even easier - a beautiful mama to be! I love each and every image shown here, these two are adorable together. I'm so excited to meet their little one when he arrives!

Kelly and Nic - thank you for the opportunity to document such an exciting time in your lives. I hope you love the preview!

Logan [North Liberty, IA Newborn Photography]

Meet Logan, who was only 4 days old last Saturday when we met for photos at his parents' home in North Liberty. Just look at that head of hair! This little guy was such a great model, sleeping nearly the entire session. Keeping an eye on things alongside mom was his big sister Autumn (age 4), who was a wonderful role model and even sent me home with a cute little drawing for my fridge.

Priscilla, I hope you love these preview images - thank you for inviting me into your home and giving me the opportunity to photograph your new little guy!

These first two are my faves...I think. So hard to choose!
