I am so excited to share that I have been featured on On To Baby today! I am still so in love with Tara and Morgan’s maternity photos, and am happy that this amazing blog felt the same way.

Second shooting for Lindsey of Left Coast Design Studio.

My baby nephew is the cutest thing ever!

Seth is now the third Palmer baby, and the first of my nieces and nephews to allow me to be there for their birth! The first two I was out of town, so it was a huge blessing for me to be there with my beautiful sister in law as she gave birth to this perfect baby boy.

Heidi had a pretty long labor compared to her previous experiences. She needed some sort of induction with the others, and this time she was able to reach 8cm all on her own! It was a long late night, but once baby was ready to arrive, he came out in just a few short pushes.

I am always so honored when I am allowed to be a part of a new person’s very first moments. Their first breath. The look on mama’s face when she sees her baby for the first time. The first cry. I am in awe every single time, and I don’t think it will ever get old for me.

I got to come back the next day for some more photos of siblings seeing baby brother for the first time, and some quick newborn photos. More “official” newborn photos will also be coming soon.

Say hello to my newest nephew!

When Cassie from Flower Bar contacted me about collaborating for a styled bridal shoot at the Junior League of Bakersfield, I was really excited to see what she would come up with. I LOVED all of the color choices and details, and our little models were a dream to work with. Here is a little taste of how the shoot went.
