A Blessed Sweet Baby Girl

If you have followed my work you may have seen this family a few times, and are aware I am pretty crazy about them.  They are one of the most astonishing families I have had the privilege of knowing.  There is never  a time I walk away from this family and don’t feel blessed deep in my spirit.  This time I photographed the birth of their eleventh child (yes you read that correctly), little Miss Isabella came into the family in an unfamiliar way to her mommy and daddy.  They are use to tons of paper work,  home inspections and lots and lots of waiting.  Their other ten children came into their family by adoption, which in their own right caused much labor pains.  Isabella came by birth, she decided to come quickly and without much warning throwing her very planned out mommy for a loop.  She was welcomed with excitement and a lot of love by her other siblings.   She continues to give her parents a whole new experience (I have a feeling that might be her moto).  She will soon realize how awe-inspiring her family really is and how blessed this sweet baby girl is to be born into it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Simply Delicious

I was promised that Miss Lily Kate was “simply delicious” as her mommy puts it.  Her mommy was correct, she  is just precious with those chubby checks and sweet disposition.  She was very content to be loved on and I was more then happy to have such a tiny one to love.  Every once and awhile I remembered I was there to photograph her as well and not just hold and admire her.  We were able to get some amazing photographs of this sweet girl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our New Addition

I have taken a few months off but for good reason.  We welcomed our son Nehemiah Colin on November 17, 2010.  He is a sweet little boy.  Alea has adjusted to being a big sister beautifully! I thought you might like to get a peak at him.  I am looking forward to getting back working with clients and photographing the moments in your life.  Hope you enjoy my little man’s newborn photos.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Serious Little Man

Evan arrived just over a week ago. http://heathernelsonphotography.wordpress.com/2010/10/20/anxiously-awaiting/ Everyone was more then excited about the arrival of a little boy! He is a serious little guy.  While he was a wake he sported raised eyebrows and often gave me a frown.  His two sisters adore him and are so good with him.  I loved watching Evan do everything in his power to find his daddy whenever he spoke.  This little man is much loved and adorable!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Much anticipation

Layla was a baby born with much mystery until she arrived.  Her parents knew the details of her gender and her name but choose not to share those details.  All of their friends and family were very anxious to hear all about the specifics.  Even big sister Lilly was in the dark.  She turned out to be a healthy, beautiful little girl that adds so much to this awesome family of four.

A Fighter

Faith decided to come into the world 9 week early.  She weighed in at 3lbs and 4 oz.  She was fighter from the word go.  She spent 2 months in the NICU and accomplished all the things they required for her to head home.  She did amazing!  It’s hard to believe it’s the same baby I photograph the first day when you look at those fantastic chubby cheeks.  Her parents are also fighters.  They took on the difficulty of having a preemie with amazing grace and perseverance.   The schedule they kept often left them weary but the love Faith felt was worth it.  Faith is lucky to have such wonderful parents.

Sleeping Beauty??

I was assured that once Aniston ate she would be a sleeping beauty. However, Miss Aniston had other plans.  She didn’t want to miss a minute of what was happening around her.  She was bright eyes the entire session.  Her brother Jett was quick to make sure I knew Aniston was his “baby sister”.  He is a proud big brother.  Even though Aniston wasn’t a sleeping beauty she still was a beauty and I was able to capture some wonderful images of a fantastic family.

Spitting Image

Kaleb is the spitting image of his older brother Brinton as a newborn. It’s sort of crazy how closely they look a like.  It will be interesting to see if that continues as Kaleb grows.  Brinton is going to be a great big brother.  He is already a help to his mommy.  He even wanted to get in on the action and have some photographs taken.  This is a great family that Kaleb is blessed to be apart of.  I enjoyed the chance to capture this wonderful  family.
