Wyatt arrived in January weighing 8.1 lbs and slept like an angel for our session. So pleased with his session and looking forward to seeing this sweet family again.

When I became pregnant with my oldest son Josh 13 years ago (wow time is flying by!) I was so excited and full of questions. My mom sent me a book called What to Expect When You’re Expecting, and wrote in the front cover “July 1998, To Allison, Mark & ?. ..All my love and best wishes forever and ever, love Mom”.
This was my pregnancy bible! I had so many questions and concerns and this fabulous resource book is now dog eared and yellowed after so many reads and 4 babies later 🙂 There is an updated and new version available now!
This is the first book in the series and documents your pregnancy with week-by-week fetal development and every question answered that you could think of regarding your changing body and baby’s development.
The second book ‘What to expect the first year’ discusses preparing for your baby, from what to buy, to breastfeeding and formula feeding advice, and month by month development from birth to child’s first year of life.
The final book in the series is ‘What to expect the Second year.’ the book is divided thematically with chapters about toddler communication/talking, behavior/behavioral problems, discipline, and other topics.

I wanted to share a few things with aspiring photographers since I get so many emails regarding my backdrops and props etc. I know that some photographers actually charge a fee for releasing this information however I am so pleased with the products that I have used that have enabled my images to really shine that I thought I would share 🙂
Q:Â I love how your floors and backdrops flow together with color, what do you use to achieve this look?
A: I find that using a combination of flooring from Lemondrops Backdrops and Savage Paper enables me to achieve this seamless look you are referring to.
Q: What are your favorite backrops from Lemondrop?
A:Â I have so many! They are fabulous quality and design and so super easy to move and change. I tend to drift back to Ali Planks – they are white (and yes, named after me!), Butter Wood, White Meringue and Sequoia Wood.
Q: Where do you get all your fabulous backdrops:
A:Â Lemondrops Backdrops and Sagebrush Serendipity. The specific drops I have from Sagebrush are actually material!
Q: Those hats are amazing, where are they from?
A: I have a few various vendors, but my favorites are Emerald Photo Props, Rain Drops Photography Props, Baboom, The Baby Couture, and Clicks and Crochets.
Q: The headbands on your newborns are so perfect, who are your favorite vendors?
A: Aren’t they gorgeous? I am in love with Love Crush Boutique, Pink Poppy and Garden Chic’s products.
Q: Are you natural light or studio light? Its hard to tell . . .
A: All studio!
Q: What lighting do you use if you shoot studio?
A: Alien Bees, good quality for the price.
Q: Do you offer any mentoring or workshops?
A: Not at this time, although its something I have been considering and will post on this blog if that opportunity arises 😀
Hope this post helps some of these questions:)Â I’m always getting new props and items so I’ll make another similar post soon listing any new finds! xo
