I had the chance recently to connect with a wonderful family here in Lexington. One that had just brought home one sweet baby Davis. She surprised us by sleeping through nearly the entire session, except the end while in her parents’ arms. Pretty perfect.

To Laura and Russ—You’re doing awesome! By now I’m sure you’re experts! Soak up these early days while Davis is so cuddly. It won’t be long til she’ll be racing around…lol. I’ll look forward to working with you through the years!

The last couple posts have mentioned my long-term relationships with customers. It kind of feels weird even calling them customers at this point, though.

Shannon and John, you are perfect examples of this. I love that you’ve regularly called me for photography throughout the last several years. From Jackson toddling around, to John h0lding newborn Cooper in the hospital, I’ve enjoyed recording the love in your family. Katie and I are so happy for you to have Evelyn in your lives now. What a perfect fit to an already-awesome family dynamic.

We miss you!

To sweet baby Evelyn….You are precious. Enjoy all that sleep. You’ll soon need the energy to keep up with Jackson and Cooper.

Newborn Baby Nolan

In this recent post, I mentioned how much I appreciated the work that Michelle and her husband Nathan put into making sure the studio’s launch party was a success. I couldn’t believe that they wanted to help out so much, knowing full well that Michelle was having her second baby soon. By mid-afternoon that next day, baby Nolan was here. That’s crazy!

Here are a few pics from my session with Nolan a few days later. Let me tell you…Michelle and Nathan are awesome parents. When I arrived, Nathan was playing with Gibson while Michelle was feeding Nolan. Tag team, back again!

And they’re just so sweet with their kiddos. We talked about parenting for awhile, and as it turns out, we’ve got pretty similar parenting styles. That makes me smile!

To Michelle and Nathan—Thanks for inviting me into your lives. You’re good people, and I’m proud to call you friends. Talk to you soon!

Lexington Newborn Photography: Caroline

Jeremy and Kelley recently added beautiful baby Caroline to their family and asked if I’d swing by and do a session. I’ve been photographing this family for a couple years now, and they’ve become special to me. Their first son Jackson’s newborn session. Jackson’s baptism. Spring and Fall family portraits. I love that they keep including me in the documenting of these important times.

To Baby Caroline—you’ve got a great family and many memories to create. Can’t wait to see you growing up—just not too fast, okay?!

Here are a few of my favorites from the session:

Newborn Photography: Lexington, KY

Our friends Tiffiney and George just brought home their newest sweet baby—Spencer. I dropped by last week to document some sleepy moments from day 10. I love thinking about how big this world must seem to him, and what he’s thinking about when he’s smiling in his sleep. He’s got a great life ahead of him, full of love from his mom and dad and five siblings.

Before I show you my favorite images from this session, let me just be really up front and honest. I’m not a natural when it comes to photographing newborns. I’m really happy with how these turned out, but I could not have done this without the help of my friend and uber-talented photographer Aseel Gomez. I’m prone to use hyperbole in my writing, but not here with what I’m about to say about Aseel. It’s a fact….There is no better newborn photographer in Lexington than Aseel. At all. Not even close.

Aseel came out to Tiffiney’s and George’s home to help me with the shoot. I was behind the camera, but she worked all the magic. She’s got the gift. Like a baby-whisperer. Thank you, Aseel.

Kentucky Newborn Photography: Nate

Lauren and Shelby were one of my first wedding couples a few years back. They had the sweetest ceremony and reception at the Bodley-Bullock house in Lexington. I remember fondly running down the sidewalk next to Gratz Park, clicking away with my camera as they raced back inside before the rain started to pour. Good times!

I know that it’s a reoccuring theme here on my blog, but I’m going to say it again…I love that photography puts me in touch with awesome people. I feel blessed to have met Lauren and Shelby. They’re awesome people, and I’m happy to call them friends.

They called me down to Bardstown recently to photograph their first-born son, Nate. What a cutie! He’s got a great life ahead of him with such positive and warm parents.

Enjoy the slideshow, everybody, and feel free to stay in touch! All of my Facebook, Twitter, and RSS feed info is at the top right of the site. I’ll look forward to hearing from you all! -shaun
