It's the day after Christmas and I just finished this precious family's gallery! Between our trip to Slovenia and Christmas, I haven't been able to sit down and have an editing marathon! Today is my husband's last day off and so I took advantage of this time to edit edit edit! Alice was 2 weeks old when I did her Lifestyle Newborn session! She was so sweet and her parents (and grandma) were SO in love with her. My favorite part of this session was taking photos of mom,

Well, we're in the double digits! This girl has finally started sleeping better, praise the Lord! Haha She's very dramatic and LOVES to sing with her sister! It is adorable. She's started waving and clapping and I'm pretty sure she can say hi! She's VERY close to walking, she can stand herself up without any assistance from furniture and walks with the walker, so I know it's soon (and then I'm really in trouble)! Happy 10 Months little one <3 #TenMonths #Baby #WatchMeGrow

- Everleigh Jo - 6 Days Old All of my sessions are special in some way, but this one was different from others. This daddy was going to be deploying only a couple of weeks after his wife had their baby girl. I haven't been through a deployment with my husband yet, but I can't imagine going through one after just having a baby! It takes a special kind of strong to be able to do that. I'm so glad I was able to photograph this beautiful family of three before he leaves to serv

-Livia Jo- 7 Days Old Every time I have a newborn session it gets me so excited for when my newest arrival comes, especially when they are as sweet as little miss Livia! She was so perfect during the whole session! I had so much fun photographing her and her big sister as well as her parents. They are a beautiful family and I am so glad I had the opportunity to capture some sweet moments with their new addition. #Newborn #NewbornSession #LifestylePhotographer #Lifestyle #Pho

- Jace Michael - 9 Days Old This little guy was so amazing during his session and was probably the most smiley newborn I have had the pleasure of photographing. This family was so sweet and simple and the lighting was just perfect for some moody, dark shots, highlighting all of the little newborn features. I'm so happy for this now family of four and was delighted to have the opportunity to photograph them! #LifestyleNewborn #BabyBoy #Baby #Newborn #Lifestyle #Photography #

I have been so lucky to photograph the Silva family a total of four times! The first session was an engagement session, next was maternity, last summer I did their first ever family photos, and then just last week I did their last set of photos in Alaska! I have to say, so much changes in just two years! Little Xander's dad is going to be gone for a whole year and I was so glad I got to capture some precious moments before he leaves. I'm thankful this beautiful family trust

So this blog post is going to be a bit of a personal one! I thought it would be really cool to put just a couple of the shots I took of Leighlyn throughout her first year (not iPhone photos, the photos where I actually got the energy to pull out the big camera haha). I've been wanting to do this for a while and I finally have the time. It's crazy to see the changes in just one year and I love that my husband and I have these photos to cherish.

Elliot James Born May 6th, 2016 I have to apologize in advance, this blog is going to be a lot longer than my normal blogs. There were so many beautiful moments during this Fresh 48 session and I couldn't keep them all to myself! I was honored to have the opportunity to photograph Carter meeting his little brother for the first time. These moments are ones that are now forever documented and the family can enjoy for years to come! #LeighRosePhotography #Newborn #Fresh48 #Fre

-Meet Leo- 14 Days Old This handome little man had the most gorgeous head of hair! I couldn't get over it. Although he was awake the whole session, he was such a good boy! He loved being cuddled up to his beautiful mamma! #LifestylePhotography #LifestyleNewborn #LeighRosePhotography #Baby #Newborn #BabyBoy #Boy #Lifestyle #Photography #FamilyofThree #LittleMan #14DaysOld #Adorable #NaturalLight #NaturalLightPhotography

My little one turned 9 Months today! My husband and I have really seen a difference in her this past month! She started standing up (with the help of the couch), clapping, and repeating us when we make noises! It's so fun to watch a baby grow! She also had a check-up today and is 21.1 pounds and 28.25 inches tall! #WatchMeGrow #9MonthsOld #BabyGirl #NaturalLight #Lifestyle

My baby girl is 8 Months old today! She just started crawling and is all over the place. This set of photos was a lot harder to take now that she is on the move, but with my husbands help, we got it done! #WatchMeGrow #8MonthsOld #baby #babygirl #lifestyle #NaturalLight

-Meet Baby Emmitt- 12 Days Old Sometimes, you meet a family, and you just click. That's how I feel about the Colemans. A few weeks ago I photographed their maternity pictures and was planning to do their birth story. Much to everyone's surprise, Emmitt decided to come 4 weeks early and so quickly that his parents didn't have the chance to call me! Luckily I was able to capture these moments for them at just around 2 weeks old. This little man was so adorable and you can j
