Welcome Home Baby Olivia :: Arizona Newborn Home Photography Session

Have I mentioned how much I love home sessions? Home sessions create such intimate photographs that time-capsule a way of life.  I loved how big brother was so interested in his new little sister. So many moments he was peering at her from a distance or attempting to get really close to her. So sweet. I feel so blessed to be able to document creation at such a fresh and new state.  

Introducing Robert :: AZ Birth Photography and Video

Last month I had the honor of documenting a hospital birth, at which I incorporated a combination of stills and film. This birth story is incredible. The mother, Beckie, shared the experience with the her family at her side. Her husband is currently serving our country overseas and was unable to be at her side. I was very moved by her strength. I felt the weight of great thankfulness for families who make such sacrifice for our freedom. Beckie labored through the night and into the following afternoon with some unexpected complications. She caught fever, and eventually both her and the baby had elevated heart rates. The family and staff changed gears and begun to prep Beckie for surgery. Beckie delivered cesarean with her mother by her side and her family waiting on bated breath. Baby Robert entered the world with a full head of hair, gentle handsome features, and a  large family that was all together smitten with him. (Please excuse the noise in the video, some of the picture and video files are too big and rich in detail to transfer into an on-line upload. I am still trying to figure out how to get my films to play on the internet like they do on DVD)

Henry : AZ Newborn Photographer

I love my job for many reasons...but I think one of the neatest things about being a photographer is getting to witness some of life's sweetest moments so frequently. It really leaves me speechless and my camera becomes my means of expression. Engagement sessions are delightful. Weddings are even better. Newborns, however, really make my heart happy. They are so delicate and sweet, and their little fingers, ears, nose, mouth and toes just make me melt. I get so caught 

up in how God formed them. 

Ashley, I love you and am so happy for you! I'm so glad I was able to do these photos for you. I hope they are a blessing.  Love, Lexi
