Kate - Hendersonville TN Newborn Photographer

I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I was about this session. I think I told every session that I had last weekend how excited I was about this session. I even left a Facebook status about it. Yes, this is the call that gave me goosebumps last week.

One of my friends and former teachers back in Memphis was just approved to adopt a baby. 4 days, that's right, 4 days later, they got that call that this beautiful baby girl was theirs.

So, with one day to prepare to become parents. She and her husband called family and friends, shopped, and called me to photograph Miss Kate's newborn pictures. Technically, Kate is not a newborn. She is 3 months old. She was born premature in January. However, she slept better than probably any newborn to date. And... was the smallest baby I have ever held. She weighed in at 5 pounds for our session. Don't let her weight deceive you though, this baby girl is one giant blessing. Congrats A Family! Words cannot even describe how happy I am for you. Thank you for having me photograph this amazing time in your lives.

I didn't think I could top my first sneak peek a few days ago, but I think this one may.

I am so glad to see they are doing well! She was one of my patients at the hospital. I only got to meet her parents a couple times, but they were wonderful! She is such a blessed little girl to have so many people who love her!
