Two new loves in my life.

My sweet nephew Benjamin Blue Ashby (more to come).

And my new best pal Loretta Lynn. 

Nicknames include Kitty-pie, Cutie-cat, Kitty . . .

and of course Toothless.  I just can't get over the resemblance.

Sweet Baby Luella | 8 Days Old

Saturday, I had an amazing new experience :)
So far in my career as a photographer, I've mostly been shooting weddings, couples, families, small children . . . Saturday was my first newborn session!

This is Luella Jean.  She's my cousin Tara and her husband Brett's brand new baby girl.  I LOVE her!
Lee and I got to spend Saturday afternoon just ooing and awwing this sweet little girl, trying our hand at newborn photos.

We wanted something candid, yet with some styling.

I definitely want to do more of these shoots! <3

Update:  The baby headbands and flowers are from the amazing Amanda of the Addison Renee Boutique!

oh this family . . .

we had the lucky opportunity to take their family pictures about 3 weeks ago.
they are so sweet with each other, and boy do they love that little boy.
i play softball with his parents, chelsea and camden, and they are
such an awesome duo to add to the team!
we could never be as good as we are without them!

thanks for letting us take your pictures gutzman family!
