Who Says It Has to Be Sunny? | Raleigh Children's Photographer

How cute are these pictures, taken in the rain?  Who says it has to be sunny for a session?? :)  I wish she had her rain boots on! 

Introducing...

my new little niece, Katherine Ann Callahan, "Katie", named for my sister Meghan Ann, mom Hallie Ann and me :)  I am so thankful to have been flown home by my mom and stepdad to capture this fleeting moment in her life.  I'm in love...

And this is big brother Brooks...one of the sweetest nephews in the world.  He kept telling me over and over again, "I love you, Aunt Katie.  I miss you when you're at your house."  I'm in love...

My mom has taken up knitting :) and went to town knitting cocoons for her two new grandbabies (Avalea Rose pictured in a previous post)...here's a pink one...
and an adorable hat she knitted just for sweet Katie.
I'm so sad they live so far away in Little Rock!!!  I miss them already.  

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Thought it would be appropriate to upload these pictures of my two nieces to wish you guys a happy St. Patrick's Day!  St. Patrick's Day is a bigger deal in our family than most!  We are of Irish Descent, and my Dad, Granddad, Great Grandfather, Brother and now my son all have the name Patrick.  My two nieces both have Irish names, Aislynn and Avalea, and are "Irish twins", born 11 months apart.  I was able to photograph them a couple of weeks ago, and my SIL Wendy's friend made these matching outfits for the girls.  So, on behalf of our Irish little family....Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Congratulations you two on a beautiful baby boy!!!  I'm getting the baby itch being around all these newborns lately.  Your little Bradley is just perfect.  Can't wait to show you the rest!

My sweet nieces | Raleigh Durham newborn photographer

I am home now in Little Rock, and had the opportunity to meet both my nieces for the first time...Avalea (6 weeks) and Aislynn (1 year old).  They are so adorable.  My mom knit this cocoon for Avalea...so special to photograph my niece in a cocoon knit by my mom.  

And here's beautiful Aislynn.....
and I get to come back home in a couple of weeks to photograph my sister's little girl, baby Katie (named after me :)
