There’s nothing more exciting than a new little addition to a family…and this little one, Lincoln, was welcomed by his parents, Phillip and Shawna, and is truly a blessing to them as well as their families! He arrived about a week early and is just perfect…10 little fingers and 10 little toes…the cutest nose and the sweetest, soft little cry. The day I met Lincoln and his parents, he was just 12 days old and was sound asleep upon arrival. I so love the little ones…I get to cuddle, snuggle and smell these sweet, precious babies and each and every one is a delight and I so love watching “mom and dad” with their new baby…it’s always an amazing sight…one that I will never tire of seeing! Such a precious gift and such love beaming from the parents…and these new parents are truly in love with their new son!




Oh, how I LOVE a mother with her new baby…melts my heart and brings tears to my eyes every time!
Safe and protected, in his daddy’s arms…little Lincoln is content and peaceful!
A beautiful new family is created!


From the tippy top to the tippy “toes!”


Hmmm, if only we knew what he was thinking!!
Is this not the SWEETEST little face, ever!!
Oh, how I live the “little bits” of babies!
Peaceful and innocent…






You can just feel the love these parents have for their new son!
Lincoln brought along his “big” cousin, Wyatt, and we couldn’t resist a couple of photos of the two of them. Aren’t they adorable in these owl hats?!!!
And, these super cute ties and diaper covers were made by Wyatt’s mom…what talent and perfect for Valentine’s!
It was great to see Wyatt, I hadn’t seen him since his newborn photos and he will be next up on the blog as he came in later that same week!
Sleep tight, sweet Lincoln!
Phillip and Shawna…your new son is beautiful and I was thrilled to meet all of you and capture some memories for your family…I look forward to seeing him grown during his first year and capturing some more memories for all of you! Congratulations!!!



Aren’t they all gorgeous…I loved watching these parents with their new son!


Be still my heart…..













I couldn’t resist sharing this first photo with you…I’m sure that this is just the beginning of fun and games with dad and Hailey!!


As I said, ALERT…she was very awake and observing what was going on…as you can see, by her beautiful, sparkly eyes!!
This blanket and matching baby giraffe were SO soft…oh, how I’d love a blanket to cuddle up like this one!!

OH…so much hair…how lucky is she…seems like usually the boys get all the hair when they are born!! Can you see the “swirl” of hair on the right side of her forehead …good thing she’s a girl…and can manage that callac!!

She did like sleeping, all snuggled up in the baskets!!

Hailey is probably thinking…”why in the world did they put this hat on me…it’s already warm enough in here!”
So, Hailey is a quick learner…sticking her tongue out after her daddy showed her how!!









Maybe a tad tired….not really, it was just a teaser!!!
