Adelynn's Birthday! {Kenosha, WI Birth Photography}

On Saturday around 4:15am Kelly woke her husband Ryne up (although I think he was already up!) with some exciting news....her water had broken!  Luckily for me I was on the list of people to call and I was able to capture the day for them with my camera.  Here is sneak peek of how the day went....many many more to come.

The day started out like this...

But with some smiles...

a few visitors to talk with...

a little bit of Facebooking...

and a whole lot of contracting....

They were able to meet her! 

Happy Birth Day Adelynn Grace!!

Jada - Newborn

I think I am officially in love with photographing newborns!   Or maybe it is just this newborn in particular because I had fun.  Mom said she is not much of a sleeper during the day (night time is better...Yay!) but a heater and some patience seemed to pay off.  I didn't get a lot of variety but she helped me make up for that in cuteness!!  Here is Jada

Abela

I had the opportunity to spend the morning with one of the most gorgeous 9-month-olds I have ever met! She was a doll to work with, but it required my running shoes since she was on the MOVE! Here are a few of the shots

Addy and Gabby!

Gabby's friend Addy came over to play. Of course I had to get my camera out. If you are wondering Gabby had a fight with the deck and the deck won, poor girl.

Me

My friend Becky and I went location hunting and she took this photo of me. I like it. Must be because my camera is in it. :)

Gabby and Gretchen

Lidia

I went to my friends Michelle and Brain's house to take some 1 year old photos of their adorable daughter Lidia. It was a lot of fun, although Lidia was not as interested in the cake as we were! Just one for now

Claire Elaine

I love this photography thing! Claire Elaine was my first attempt at skill building. Her parents were gracious enough to give up a Saturday morning and allow me to come to their house with all my stuff and take some photos of their beautiful daughter. I had a blast, even more fun then I thought. So here is one of my favorite photos from the day and the rest are on my Flickr page here

Maybe I really do want to make a living doing this someday!
