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

Brothers + Bulldozers | MHP Louisville, KY Family Photographer

Daniel looks down and tangles his chubby little fingers in big brother Logan's hair. Just one of the little menacing actions of a little brother testing his boundaries with his older, wiser cohort.

1. How did you feel before the photo shoot? Did you have any concerns?
I thought that taking both dogs would end miserably.

2. Great coordinating clothing choices, how did you decide?
My wife had my outfit on the bed when I got off work.

3. What makes your family giggle the most?
The boys playing with each other. Logan will get Daniel laughing and then start cracking himself up. 

4. What were your hopes for the session?
To get at least one picture where both boys actually look at the camera and smile at the same time.
 

5. Based on the few images you've seen so far, do you think we accomplished goals?
Absolutely, I'm very happy with what I've seen. 

 6. What were you thinking during the session?
Mostly hoping that the dogs weren't destroying the car. 

7. What did you talk about in the car as you left the shoot?
The police helicopter

8. Is there anything you would have done (or had Michelle do) differently? Justin, what are your suggestions for making the dads feel more comfortable?
Not that I can think of. Maybe ask dad up front if there's anything in particular they want to shot?

9. What advice would you give other moms (and dads) before their family photo shoot?
Relax and enjoy it. 

10. What was your favorite part of the photo shoot? Be sure to ask Dad too :)
The tractor, Logan was super excited to take pictures with it.

I swear we were in a public park, but as the police helicopter circled the second time, we decided that we either weren't supposed to be there or there was someone else that was not supposed to be there. Either way, we didn't wait to find out. Love these little boys and their parents so much. Hope everyone gets into at least half as much mischief as these two. 

XOXO,
Mich

P.S. They are Haas' for sure. That heavy equipment just draws in the Haas boys like moths to a flame.

Laughs and Leaves | Everett [1 year]

Little Everett is a year old, and look at how happy this little guy is. His parents are oh so lucky and his brothers are pretty pumped too.

1. How did you feel before the photo shoot? Did you have any concerns?
We were excited about the shoot! Honestly my only concern was that Howie behave:) I was concerned about weather leading up to the day, but it ended up being a beautiful day! 

2. Beautiful fall clothing choices, where did you get your inspiration?

Just wanted to include some fall colors like...with my cardigan and scarf. I don't think Neil put much thought into his outfit:) 

3. What makes your family giggle the most?
Just watching Everett and his expressions. He's a ham just like his daddy! 

4. What were your hopes for the session?

We wanted to get some family pics to hang up, a cute pregnancy announcement for the new baby's nursery and some candid photos of Everett and the whole fam...including our first born fur babies:) 

5. Based on the few images you've seen, do you think we accomplished goals?

Absolutely!! 

6. What were you thinking during the session?
We were just enjoying it and leaving the creativity to you! 

7. What was Neil's favorite part of the session?

I think Neil enjoyed it all! We both loved watching Everett get his pictures taken. 

8. Is there anything you would have done (or had Michelle do) differently?
No, we were thrilled with everything! 

9. Dad, what advice would you give other dads before their family photo shoot? And you Mom?
Just relax and enjoy it! And if there are any poses you want just be sure to have them on your phone or to tell you beforehand so you won't forget. I think it was so nice that I was able to communicate with you so much before the shoot. We were on the same page with the pictures that I wanted taken. I knew when we got there that we would be taken care of. I would tell any mom just to trust the photographer and enjoy it!

10. What did you talk about in the car as you left the shoot?
We loved it all! When we left the shoot we just talked ab how excited we are to see how they turn out. You did a fabulous job and made it so easy for us. Neil and I are not creative when it comes to this and honestly we just wanted to come out there, enjoy ourselves and trust in your vision! We had a great time and so did Everett! 

Thanks so much to Neil, Hillary, Everett, Howie and Cooper!
I can't wait to share the rest of our shoot!

XOXO,
Mich

Axel [14 days new] | Louisville, KY Newborn Portrait Photographer

This little heart breaker is going to be a world traveler... and might hit a few tennis balls in his time too. Such a sweet little man with a very cool name --he knows it, check out the sunglasses -- and a couple of studly fur-brothers too.

 Meet Axel!

Everett [4 months] | Louisville, KY Baby Photographer

What a happy little man E was. I can only hope that I am blessed with such a sweet, happy little one someday. He and his sweet parents were an absolute joy to work with and I'm pretty sure he knew he rocked these photos. Meet four month old, Everett (and he fur brothers of course).

More handsome little studs coming to the blog soon!

Xoxo,
Mich
