Brother Pups and Baby Pea | Louisville, KY Maternity Photographer

My sweet, sweet friends. I am so excited for them and their sweet little Baby Pea that will be here in the next few weeks. Whether baby girl gets dad's athleticism or mom's good looks and kind heart, this kid will be so very cherished and loved. Come on Baby Pea, we can't wait to meet you!

How sweet is that nursery and the quilt, yeah that's made of Granny Susan's clothes.  So special. And puppy brothers are super excited too, can't ya tell? :)

I can't wait to shoot this sweet girl's birth story, and newborn photos, and well ya know, whatever else aunt Meme desires, muhahahaha!

XOXO,
Mich

P.S. Know a sweet mom and dad-to-be that need some beautiful photos (even if mom is reluctant like this sweet girl)? Contact me above. I promise it will be so painless and they can go in a drawer if you feel larger than life. I assure you sweet momma, you are. You are larger than life not in size of your body, but in the size of your heart. You are growing a sweet babe and that is one of the most selfless actions any woman could endure. Wear it proudly, you are beautiful <3

Navy Stripes + FOMO [7 days new] | Louisville, KY Newborn Photographer

FO·MO

ˈfōmō/

noun

informal

noun: FOMO

1. "fear of missing out". The fear that if you miss a party or event you will miss out on something great

   Even though he was exhausted, John's fomo got the best of him and he went to the party.

30 seconds between these 2 photos. Impressive

This little guy fought the good fight. He had some serious FOMO, didn't want to fall asleep for anything and turned into a professional snacker (and napping while snacking). But that's all part of the fun and it makes for some super cute and natural snuggle time. 

Sweet moms and dads-to-be, don't get discouraged with a fussy newborn during their first photoshoot. They are not used to being messed with so much. All they know is sleep and eat, so modeling experience takes a little time - and extra snacks - its hard work! 

But once we finally get a solid pass out (see first image above, 30 SECONDS) we get some really great sleepy stuff because they are so out. Like warm milk and a little hot toddy. For parents of course, don't feed that stuff to the baby... honey is bad for them :)

These sweet parents have an adorable little man in their hands and he has that amazing little newborn smell, so needless to say they are doing a really great job.

But seriously, this sweet family was amazing to work with and extremely patient with all of my many angles. What an amazing Swaddle Baby Plan session, little man was a champ and we even got a few with big brother Rocky (he's the furry one peeking over the crib rail, above).

Emily + Jon [maternity] | Louisville, KY Portrait Photographer

Sometimes you just have to reach out and ask. 

Snow. Much like pregnancy, snow is gorgeous, breath-taking, only here for a short time. 

 

Beautiful Emily reached out to me as soon as the snow fell, and I had a spot open just for her. These are the types of photos that are simply supposed to happen.

And I am so glad they did. 

Baby M's gender is still a mystery, but he/she is oh so loved. 

And just the cutest little bump.

Just for the record, I think its a little girl. But until Baby M arrives, we will have to wait, together.

Xoxo,

Mich

P.S. Snow only comes every once in a while around here. Let me know if you would be interested in a snow session. We might have to start up a list :)

Throw Back...Tuesday [record screetch] | MHP Louisville, KY portrait photographer

Who doesn't need a little nostalgia sometimes and a little look back at where they came from?

This is especially important for the little ones, since kids seem to grow faster than everything else known to man, except maybe those pesky dandelions in the front yard.

In case you missed it, I posted a little throw back of Miriam and her ever-growing little one Logan earlier this month here.

The point of the post was to encourage you to hire a great photographer, whether it is me or not, to capture the feelings you experience.

As a parent,
                  a child,
                            a sibling,
                                          a friend.

All of these feelings deserve to be captured and looked upon often to remember and re-live.

That photo was taken at 6 months old, momma was soothing Logan after he realized he was not a fan of grass. His little teeth were coming in and his little Sophie teething giraffe were in nearly every. single. photo.

But that one photo was all worth it. This one.

Logan has since grown quite a bit in size and intellect and that photo got me thinking - what other photos might need to resurface and do some reminding? 

One thing that parents really love are successions of images to see how the little one has grown.
Here are some of his beautiful parents awaiting his arrival,
                                                                                just after birth,

newborn,

  

3 months,

and little Logan Man looking dapper at about 15 months old.

Look how much these little girls have grown in just about a year!

Another beauty that I have had the pleasure to capture several times.

 With a new baby sister

And this adorable blonde,

who has a sister all her own as well.

 These little clients sure are growing and growing and growing.  

We must make them stop. 

What? Not Possible? 

Fine.

Well, how 'bout a photo shoot to catch them while we can?

Contact me for more info or to schedule a session before its too late...

xoxo,

Mich
