Baby Charlie

Oh how I love newborns. They are so fragile, cuddly, soft, innocent, SLEEPY - did I say SLEEPY? I'm just one of those people that LOVE newborns. I think I could have an army of babies if they stayed little forever. There's nothing more beautiful than a mother and a newborn. That feeling of bringing a life safely into the world. I held my babies for hours, HOURS! I never cared if anyone told me I would spoil them because they were mine to love and mine to spoil! ha..
I love their peacefulness and tinyness. How quickly they grow and how important it is to cherish and remember how tiny they started. I took these as a gift for my good friend Liz. Baby Charlie was 7 days old when I took these pictures.
I tried a few new props for these photos. I LOVE my new circular basket and my BEAUTIFUL new cacoon that my good friend Liz Bloebaum made for me. It is the softest most yummy yarn. I LOVE it and can't wait to use it again soon.
Next time I'm going to get Mommy, Daddy, and sisters in some pics! Thanks Magee Family and congrats on your baby boy!

he was happiest right here in mama's arms!

until next time:) K

Trendy Urban Location

I am in LOVE with these pictures... I found an awesome abandoned location. Jaimie and Sarah were awesome to model for me at the last minute in 20degree weather back in March! It was sooooo COLD. We were running back to my truck to get warm! Even though it was freezing, I couldn't be happier with the results.
I was working on some new things for my class. I called our sitter, Taylor, and she hooked me up with some of her friends. I was so excited when they showed up at the shoot because 1. Sarah and Jaimie are both GORGEOUS 2. She was dressed so trendy and the colors looked great with the settings and 3. They are so darn cute together!

Thanks Jaimie and Sarah for being so awesome. I had a great time and I LOVE these pictures! You two are the cutest couple and you can't even tell how cold it was! love it in black and white too!
until next time!

Neglected blog:(

Wow, I've really been neglecting my blog! BUT, there are reasons... 1. I've been taking a class for the last 3 months with the lovely Miss Wendy. 2. I am revamping my website. 3. Having 3 kiddos under 6 means there's never a dull moment in the Martin home and 4. We just went on vacation.
I am SUPER excited about the up and coming sessions and my new website. I've been learning so much and growing as a photographer which is very exciting. I can't wait to share with you all. I will be posting things more regularly now that I am getting into the shooting season... Thanks again for your patience.

Here's a sneak peak from our recent vacation. More coming soon.
