Santa visits our studio EVERY year but this year we are offering Petite Santa Sessions to help create The Magic of Santa for even more children!  This Magical experience will allow each child enchanting, quality time with Santa, creating The Magic of Santa for each child.

Whether it is precious time to look over a book, dance with Santa, throw a snowball or to peek at the “nice list”, share a cookie or receive a small gift directly from Santa himself, each child will have a magical experience they will never forget.

Children are encouraged to personally deliver their “Santa wish list” or draw him a picture. Either way Santa will be excited to receive something special from each child. This will be absolute MAGIC for your children giving them the Santa experience they will remember for the rest of their lives! 

This years set “A Golden Holiday” is perfect to showcase your childrens Santa experience and give you classic memories of this magical time.

The Cutest Newborn Photography Session Of The Day ♥

Babies, , , , , , , , , , , ,

The studio got filled up with cuteness to the very top when this little girl and her loving parents contacted Tracy Gabbard for a very heartwarming Newborn photo session.

They are a lovely couple who are very in love with their new daughter and decided that it was the best time to capture this beautiful time in their lives.

We gathered some of the photos from this session so you better be prepared to have your heart melted in 3…2…1!

The little girl was surrounded by a soft, pastel pink color and some warm tones to complement the canvas and her skin tone, it makes her skin look peachy and soft.

In this classic pose you can compare the fabric and her body and you can see how small she is, it’s just a beautiful perspective. The colors complement her skin tony and it’s just too cute. 

Here we see her turned into a little pink teddy bear with the little ears, her little feet are almost the same shade of pink as the fabric!  

 

The hand of a father and loving parent. He is holding her entirely with both hands and she is so small she fits perfectly.

This is one of the favorite photographs, she looks peaceful, trusting her father’s hands, you can feel how calm she is, probably taking a nap while they were at the studio taking all these amazing photos, LOL! 

White, on white, on white! This is an example of Tracy’s favorite looks, she adores white and this photograph shows it at it’s best. It looks so fresh and clean!

Just for a change of scenery, this warm peachy color and the texture of the fabric are the perfect combination, matching with the two pieces she is wearing. She is so adorable!

You can see her parent’s love and affection through every photograph, they hold her softly between their arms and they look lovely.

 

 

 

 

Motherhood: A Unique And Wonderful Journey + Mom & Baby Heart Melting Photos

Babies, Maternity, , , , , ,

Let’s talk about that red, invisible thread that will always connect a mother to her baby and how we capture it through Maternity Photography.

It’s an eternal promise of love, an unbreakable bridge, the ultimate proof of love.

Pregnancy is the miracle of life and when the newborn arrives, it’s a before and after in the lives of millions of people in the world every single day.

Today we want to take a moment to show you how expressive these pictures are. And how immensely powerful a mother’s love can warm up our hearts and be kept in our memories forever.

You can see it and almost feel it in the way each woman holds her baby.

They are all different women, coming from different backgrounds, different stories and cultures, but they all share the same kind of love that only motherhood can bring to life.

Today we want to wish you an outstanding Friday and wanted to share with you some of the most beautiful pictures we have gathered from different photo sessions.

Tracy is a mother and she knows how deep they feel about their children, she offers a unique service to help families watch their children grow in front of the camera with a variety of packages that will fit your family’s needs.

And this is one of the favorite poses for every mom that comes in the studio, because especially when they are super small, they fit in their arms and they feel so warm and fuzzy. Plus it definitely reflects how similar mother and baby can look like. 

And as they grow up, they start learning how to crawl and sit up before they walk and run around like crazy. It’s definitely a beautiful moment that every mother wants to capture. 

Contact Tracy for more information about photo sessions, she is always available to answer your questions, have a happy weekend!

Time To Sit Up! These Babies Will Melt Your Heart

Babies, Sitting up sessions, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Babies are capable of doing many things on their own, like learning to sit up. When your baby sits up depends a lot on your baby and how their motor skills are progressing. Scroll down for your daily dose of cuteness overload!

Sit Up! + Best Friend, Of Course

His dog is absolutely proud, look at those smiley faces. Absolutely adorable. When a baby can hold their head up and roll from front to back, sitting is definitely on the horizon. However, some babies get the crawling (army crawl) bug before the sitting bug. 

Each baby is different, but typically babies learn to sit up between 4 and 8 months, some babies take as long as 9 months to fully get it or more. It sometimes seems like your baby will never stop needing an arm to hold themselves up and then all of a sudden they are sitting up perfectly!

Look, mom! No hands!

Watching a baby figure out sitting up is wonderful to watch. Because every baby is different, there is no standard position a baby uses to sit up. 

And by the way, that’s enough sitting up for the day, he is now busy playing with his favorite toys. Happy Friday!
