Aspermont Texas Newborn Photographer: Raylie and baby Holt

 I haven't done an actual newborn session in 3 years, but I went over to hang out with and help my friend Sallie so she could get some stuff done and of course brought my camera along. Raylie and I played in her room with her blocks and went for a walk and read some books. Then we decided to try and get a few shots with little brother and I just LOVE how they turned out. What a sweet big sister she is.

Kerrville Texas Newborn Photographer: Baby Brooklyn

 I love photographing newborns. 

I think they are becoming my favorite. 

It was fun photographing girls the past couple of times. 

Last year at this time it was all boys!

I was planning on photographing the birth of this sweet angel but she decided to stay breech.

So mom was intending on having a c-section....which PRAISE THE LORD she didn't have to do. 

AN AMAZING BIRTH STORY!

So thankful for this sweet family and for the opportunity to photograph them!

Kerrville Texas Newborn Photographer: Baby Sophie

 Baby Sophie! 

This little nugget was born at just 4 pounds and a few ounces. She was not too early, just very tiny. 

She belongs to a special family and is the 7th child.

This sweet family is one of our local foster families who have also adopted through the foster care system. 

They adopted 4 precious boys and one of them is my sons age and they just love to play together. 

I am so excited I got to photograph this tiny little thing. 

Just precious.

Portraits by Jenn: Maternity, Newborn, Children, Family and High School Seniors: NEWBORN BOY: BABY G: Camp Verde, TX

 Introducing Baby G!

Sweet little nugget came to me the day after he went home from the hospital.

They met me out at Camp Verde and the temperature was H-O-T!!

His Mommy and Daddy brought most of their own props and I love it when they do this. 

It makes their portraits more unique. 

 He was NOT happy about being put in this bucket, so I got what I could before he started crying. 

Poor little man. 

I think it's cute though...he's got a little smirk on his face!!

Portraits by Jenn: The Joy of Love: Day 08

day 08: gift from the heart

So Erik and I started trying to have a baby in December of '04. 

I say we started "trying", really we just stopped preventing. 

After a year or so we started fertility treatments.

Then we moved to Kerrville and took a little break.

In February of '06 I got pregnant and miscarried. 

My husband bought me this:

 He said we would never give up HOPE that the Lord would bless us with a child. 

HOPE:

to desire something with confident expectation of its fulfillment

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the
power of the Holy Spirit."

Romans 15:13

A little over a year ago my good friend and her husband started trying to have a baby. They have had a lot of road blocks along the way. We have been praying and praying and praying for them. 

One year ago this month I found out I was pregnant. 

I was doing my Bible study one day and I just felt the need to send her my Willow Tree Figure of 

HOPE! 

I didn't even tell Erik I was sending it to her. 

For my birthday in April he brought home another one EXACTLY like the one I had sent to her. 

He STILL had NO idea I had given the first one away until I told him. 

On November 2, 2010 this is the gift he helped give to me!

Portraits by Jenn: Maternity, Newborn, Children, Family and High School Seniors: Newborn Boys

Since mid November I have photographed NINE, that's right NINE newborn sessions. And you won't believe this, but they have ALL been newborn boys! It's totally awesome. The challenge was coming up with something different for each session. Boys are hard. There aren't the cute frilly tutus, or big flower bows, or socks that look like Mary Jane's. I had a blast photographing EVERY single one! It's funny how after a while they almost all start to look alike! 3 of these boys will be in Libby's Sunday School class at church, along with 2 others (not listed here) that are BOYS as well. She is the ONLY girl so far!!

Check them out:

Baby McKade:

I shot McKade the day before I was due to have Libby. He was the sweetest little thing. It was not easy getting up and down off the floor, but EVERY shot was worth it! 

Baby Brayden

Baby Landon

Baby Sean

Baby Trace

Baby Noah

Baby Jake

Baby Atticus

Baby Camden

Of course I have to include the one girl in the midst of all these boys!
Baby Libby

Portraits by Jenn: Maternity, Newborn, Children, Family and High School Seniors: Studio Closing

After many conversations with my husband, and lots of thought and prayer, I am officially announcing the CLOSING of my portrait studio on Earl Garrett as of February 1, 2011. 

(insert lots of tears here)

This past fall brought many changes to our family and a MUCH answered prayer after 6 1/2 years of trying to have a baby. Our little Libby was born and of course NOTHING went as planned, but EVERYTHING went according to God's will for our little girl and our family. Therefore, we are making more changes to do what is best for our family and that means me staying home more with my children.

I will still be doing photography.

I will not stop taking pictures. 

I will be doing less photography.

I will not stop taking pictures.

I will be doing mostly on-location photography, which is what I prefer to do anyway.

This DOES still include:

Maternity

Newborns

Children

Family

MINI SESSIONS

and 

a limited # of High School Seniors

Sessions will be very limited as I will become more of a SAHM (stay at home mom)

Not sure how good of a SAHM I will be, but we are going to try. 

I will be available mostly on the weekends and evenings.

Stay tuned for more on that as we are still trying to work out the kinks.

PLEASE DON'T WORRY

If you are already on my schedule, you are STILL on my schedule. 

If you are already one of my clients you will STILL be my client.

This does mean that you will need to book your sessions a little more in advance to get on the books.

I will be booking sessions 2-3 weeks out starting February 1, 2011. Most sessions will need to be in the evenings and on weekends. A change in my pricing structure will also be coming in February.
