Baby girl pics captured in Carthage, Missouri; Joplin, Missouri.  I hope these images give you as much Joy as they give me!  This baby girl is just so perfect and I loved every minute that I got to spend with her.  Her name is Joy and I can just see the Joy that she already brings to her sweet family.  These parents were just glowing over this precious baby girl and I love that I have the honor to capture this love and joy of this family of three!

A momma’s love is something that I love to capture!   Moms seem to rarely get in the picture but I love starting out the session with mom in the picture!  There is just something that melts my heart about the snuggles between mom and baby.  In my studio, I have shiplap on the walls.  This makes for a simple background for these family and mom and dad portraits!

There is nothing more precious than dad holding a small baby.  This baby girl looked so small in her dad’s arms but we know how safe she is in her dad’s arms.  I love having dad hold baby’s head in his hands.  Just this simple picture is just a huge statement to how he will always hold her up and protect her!

Then we started the newborn part of the photography session in my studio in Carthage, Mo.  Mom told me in her consultation that baby’s room was decorated in yellow and gray.  Since I provide all the outfits, props and backgrounds, I knew that I had to find a super sweet gray and yellow newborn outfit.  I found this perfect one from No. 2 Willow Lane.  And can I say that this girl’s outfit was made just for this precious girl!  Her HAIR with this headband… swoon!  First, I just can’t get over her beautiful hair and then second, adding in this headband made for the most amazing pictures!

Since I knew that momma loved yellow, I knew I needed some yellow flowers.  So I stopped by our a local boutique called Village Square Boutique on the downtown square in Carthage, Missouri.  When I walked in these yellow flowers were right in the window!  Just so perfect for her newborn session!

As we were finishing up her session, mom had brought in some special items.  Two shirts, wedding ring and a feather necklace.  I love the opportunity to incorporate family heirlooms into her baby girl pictures.  These items have such special memories which will make these portraits a treasure keepsake for years to come!

I was able to finish the session, with this froggie pose.  Oh my heart, she just melts me!

xoxo,
