Sleeping Beauty | Ozark, MO Baby Photographer

Babies and Children are my favorite to photograph. It's no secret. I've been wanting to build up my portfolio and experience with newborns, so when I heard that Justin & Tiffany were expecting a little one this month, I was excited to schedule a session.

My goal: to photograph a sleeping baby. Up til now, the newborns I've shot have been WIDE awake. The opposite of sleeping. Hmmm. Little Lily was awake for some of her photos, but I was able to successfully grab some of the shots I wanted... and I'm very happy with the results.

Let's say it together now...

Awwwwwwwww.....

I Heart Chub

You may remember this guy from his newborn shoot or from his most recent session... But time flies and he's changed even more. This is one happy kid! He makes so many faces now!

Moments

I was recently inspired to write a poem.

I haven't sat down to spill out my thoughts in quite some time,

so I mentally detoxed and wrote this poem,

which just so happens to be about photography.

So I am sharing it with you.

Enjoy.

.frozen.

my eyes crave
to capture the fleeting,
that which can be invisible

others pass by
with nary a second glance,
too consumed by the obvious.

they are oblivious of its powers.
but oh, it whispers to me;
enticing, alluring, demanding attention

it stops me in my tracks,
takes my breath away.
there before me…

the moment.

it is beautiful.
it is raw.
it is enchanting.

and I capture it.
frozen.
for me.
for you.
that moment in time.

memories fade,
become vapors in the wind,
but to remember
is to embrace time,
frozen
in a photograph.

hold it tenderly in your hands.
see it with eyes of gratitude.
absorb its significance.
cherish
the moment.
