The Most Fun | professional maternity photography
I had the most fun at this session hence the title of my blog post. This family is amazing! Mom and Dad are SOOOO in love (and no it’s not because they just came home from their honeymoon either) and had a beautiful son! They were so happy, so excited, and so relaxed! I really just had a great time, and it actually didn’t feel like that much work either (other than setting up and taking things down). It was a blast! Let me just say that Mom looked GREAT. She gave birth two weeks later I believe. Yes….she’s 38/39 weeks in these! Can you believe it!? I would have looked like a “swollen cow” by that point! Okay…swollen cow is not a nice way to put things, but trust me, I had serious water retention when pregnant with my first. I was unrecognizable in my pictures that were taken before, during and after the birth of my first son.
I’m even going to share A FEW of your daughter from her session. I cannot wait to share more because this little peanut (and I do mean little) was SOOOOOOO GGOOOOODDD for me! Mom and Dad had their fireplace going and their own small space heater already set up and blowing air. I was hot but I was SO HAPPY. I believe that is one reason why she slept the entire time with only a few breaks for feeding and then back to sleep she went. I could practically do whatever I wanted with her. I love her! I want to see her again already!
So here you are Merges Family!
Until next time….. Good night.

Gorgeous baby boy – 6 days old | May’s schedule is now available online
First, I wanted to let everyone know that I have updated my availability calendar on my website with May’s available dates. I would like to remind you that Saturdays book very quickly, so if a Saturday is needed, you may want to book at your earliest convenience.
And now I’d like to share a precious baby boy with you. He weighed as much as my boys did, so it was really nice to have a “filled out” newborn baby boy. It brought back memories for me. Mom and Dad were terrific to work with. His Grandparents were down and such a joy to hang out with. They were actually very big helpers and yet did not ever feel “in the way” at all. They were all fantastic! Mason slept so well for us! It wasn’t until the very end of the session that he let a few things be known, and even then it wasn’t loud at all. He was just hungry. Sweet boy.

Sweet baby Rocco | 8 days old |Ft Bragg Newborn Photographer
OH how I loved this baby boy. He was the sweetest baby for me. He is so pretty and looks just like his Daddy but from his nose down, he is all Mama. His mouth is identical to hers. Isn’t that precious when you can look and see yourself in another person that you and your husband created? It’s amazing – simply amazing!
Rocco slept so well for us. He never cried, did he? I don’t remember him crying at all actually. He slept, ate, and oh yes…his diaper changed. I think I remember he fussed a little for that. Well, I had to hear something come from his little mouth. He has the best demeanor (even we can even say that about such a tiny one) and seems to be very laid back from birth. His parents are always a joy to hang out with. Thank you so much for having me! It took me three reschedules to get to this little guy due to the crazy winter weather we were having at the time. I showed up and announced “I made it – finally!”. LOL

New backdrop color that is great for sessions of your baby our young child – especially first birthdays!
Yes, this is a one image sneak peek for Mom, but I was so excited to use my new sea green colored backdrop! She is precious! I can’t believe she has turned one already, but thankfully I’m seeing her again in 6 months at 1 1/2. It’ll be great. She is such a sweetheart as is her Mom. I’m showing one to share the baby girl and the green backdrop. Have a wonderful day!

“Fresh” Baby Jack | Fayetteville NC newborn Photography
I am so honored that my clients continue to hire me for the special moments in their lives. It is especially sweet when I not only do their first newborn son’s session but also their second. And, they look SOOOOO much alike! I will have to find his big brother’s newborn pictures to show you. I will most definitely come back to post a few more as well as “compare” their sons. I would photograph Jack, and I could not stop calling him his brothers’ name. I felt so bad, but when I’d photograph him and look at him through my lens, it literally took me back almost two years. I’m not kidding when I say that. I felt as though I had just been there photographing their first son. How crazy is that? Time sure does FLY when you’re having fun. It goes by too fast, so let that be a warning to ENJOY IT as much as you can.
He was actually very alert during our session, but he loved being snuggled and warm and drifted right off to sleep! I wanted to share him with you all.

Look at this happy girl | Fayetteville NC Child Photographer
Just look at this happy girl. This session will be done before I go to bed. So, although Mom will get her gallery tonight or when she wakes up in the morning, I still had to share JUST a few on my blog for the “world to see” her smiling, happy baby girl!!! See, if I had a girl, she would have red hair like her too, and wouldn’t that be lovely! Sigh. But, since I have no girls to go “ga ga” over, I’ll just love on the ones I am lucky to meet and photograph!
Look at her posing for me as any little lady should. =)
What a happy girl!!! I love both color and black and white, but I’m favoring the black and white here.
What a wonderful session and then she was ready for her nap! Her modeling session was now over.
