How fitting is it that the day my sister goes back to work and I am watching my sweet niece Emerson, her newborn pics are also ready for posting? Which means she has been easy enough for me to actually get this post up! These images are coming a bit later than I had hoped but that’s how it goes with family. This sweet girl has already melted so many hearts in our family and I love her so much. I can’t wait for her to get a little older and start playing with the boys, or bossing them around. 🙂 Enjoy!
Natural childbirth is not for the faint of heart. I thought going through a natural childbirth of my own was hard (and it was), but it was not until I saw my 4-foot 11-inch, 100lb sister going through it that I really saw what enduring pain was. It is so hard to see someone you love be in so much pain with the knowledge that you can do nothing about it. Phew…. Amy’s labor was LOOONNGGG and trying. She would go through literal hours of contractions and only dilate 1cm. Amy labored until 9cm dilated then just stoped dilating and finally agreed to an epidural after being told it was that or cesarean was highly likely. We arrived at the hospital at 11pm on Sunday night and my sweet niece Emerson was born at 3:38pm on Monday afternoon. Not a wink of sleep was had by anyone since Sunday morning, so needless to say we were exhausted but so overjoyed that Emerson Marie Carter had finally arrived. 6lb 12oz, 19″, and so loved.
I am by no means a birth photographer but I did enjoy capturing some of the moments of this incredible experience. Amy has not yet seen these pics although I do have permission to post them! Thank you Amy & Brian for leting me be in on such an incredible experience, it is one I will not soon forget. Say tuned for Emerson’s sweet newborn pictures coming soon.
I am so excited for Jessica, Tim, and Lily for the arrival of their new little one, sweet Adam. I have known this family for quite a while now. We met in childbirth class when she was pregnant with Lily and me with Oliver, and I am so happy to have been able to photograph their 2nd! Adam was a complete angel for the shoot. He literally did not wake up until the very end. Lily is at an age where getting posed shots is not easy (I deal with the same thing with Oli!) so we got a ton of candids and I really love how they turned out.
Enjoy this precious family!
Things have been crazy around here lately. It has definitely been my busiest photography season yet, and I am so thankful for how the Lord has provided for this business. My sweet and crazy little boys have been keeping me pretty busy too and I love every minute of it. There is a lot coming down the pipeline, so here’s a peek at what’s to come. Looking forward to sharing more soon!

Al, Samantha, and their sweet Taylor are such a loving and happy family. I got to know Taylor at her 6 month session a few months back and I couldn’t beleive how much she had grown in only those few months! It was raining when I arrived at their home, but luckily they have a quint little front porch that we were able to use for the shoot. It worked perfectly.
Nothing like taking in a sweet baby smiles, and a family loving on each other over your Saturday morning coffee. Enjoy!
Newborn sessions are so priceless to me. Of course, I adore holding precious tee-tiny babies in my arms and getting them in front of my camera. But, there is something about entering a family’s home in this intimate time of bringing home a new baby that means so much to me. Mom and dad tending so carefully to such a fragile little one, siblings still getting use to being gentle and the sometime piercing cries. It means more that I can say that my clients allow me into their home at such a special time.
I was so keenly aware of these things when I entered into the Saunder’s home. Sweet Megan was born at 35 weeks happy and healthy. Her big brother Parker is such a cutie and is so great with his little sister. When I entered the home, Parker was playing with his play kitchen which is the same one I had when I was little! I immediately knew that it was going to be a great shoot and I was completely right. These 4 were a joy to photograph. Enjoy this precious family.
I had a great time photographing the sweet Ball family. Katie, Tracy, and little Levi were complete naturals in front of my camera ,which always makes my job easy. I absolutley love Katie’s style as well as how her boys were dressed. Many of my clients ask me what to wear and I always say- lots of color & accessories, color coordinate without being too matchy matchy… Their wardrobe selection is the perfect example of this!
Sweet 6 month old Levi was super loving and smiley. This is one of my most favorite baby ages. It is clear how much these two love their little guy. Katie and Tracy, thank you for letting me take a peek into your precious family, I hope you treasure these images for years to come!
It has been a crazy week around the Tucker home. I always go a little stir crazy when I am stuck in the house for too long with a bunch of sickies, especially when I am one of them! I am convinced that seeing one of my kids sick has to be one of the worst things EVER. So. Glad. that’s over…
But before all the sickness started, I have been a busy photographer and there will be lots coming out in the coming weeks. Here are a few sneak peeks until then! Enjoy. 🙂

I can’t beleive it has been a year since I first met Julie, Jeremy and sweet baby Maddex (who was in Julie’s belly at the time). Since then, I got to meet Maddex face to face at his newborn session and spend even more time with him as his 6 month session. Maddex is now almost a year old and has developed into a smart, and completely adorable little guy. He was so happy throughout our session, which made my job so easy!
Enjoy this precious little one. 🙂
I enjoyed getting to know sweet Baby Amelia so much. I met her at just under 3 weeks old so we were able to get some sleeping pictures as well as some while she was awake. She was so tiny and dainty, much different from my 15lb 3-month old! I recently went to a lighting workshop and had a great time making use of the natural light pouring into Amelia’s room. I especially love a lot of the images in black and white which is why you will see more than usual.
Enjoy this sweet little one.
This is a bear from Amelia’s mom’s childhood. I love that she wanted a picture of her little girl with it.
