Levi | Newborn | Danville, Virginia Newborn Photographer

So, I am going to use my time on maternity leave to catch up on blogging, but I thought that I would go ahead and share this lovely newborn lifestyle session with you! I visited with this wonderful family today...and dropped off some pretty amazing photo products as well! Levi was born on May 24. I had the pleasure of photographing him at 10 days old! Since I'm expecting, I haven't been taking on newborn sessions. However, when the Hilliards called, I did offer to do a lifestyle newborn session for them instead. They loved the idea, and it definitely made the session more personal by being able to do it in their own home! They are truly amazing people, and I'm so glad to have made new friends through working for them:)

I got to hear a lot about their "story" during their session...this sweet couple has been trying for 7 years to have a baby. Praise the Lord for this bundle of joy!

I just love Levi's mini albums...here is the cover!

Thanks so much to the Hilliards for having me in their home! They are off to a great start as parents and I couldn't be more happy for them! Truly blessed.

I look forward to hearing from you:) Megan

Baby Noah | 10 Days New | Newborn Session | Gretna, Virginia Photographer

Remember Baby Noah from the birth session? You may also recall seeing his Mommy and Daddy's (Jess and Jonathan) maternity session! He came to see us for his newborn photos a few days ago...along with his beautiful Mommy:) He is so precious! It's almost hard to remember my Kolton being that size, since it doesn't last long at all! We started off indoors with a few of Noah and Mommy...

His hair is perfect...and oh, those lips...

Noah with his sock monkeys:)

And being a book worm:) He already has some amazing books! (You hear that? That's the teacher coming out of me:) His Mommy is a teacher too!)

Precious details...

I think it's safe to say he's hungry here:)

And you know me...if it's warm enough, we're going outside! These are my absolute favorites:)

You can't deny how adorable he is!

Don't wait until the last minute to schedule your newborn session! Use the contact tab at the top of the page to get started:)

Zachary William | Newborn | Chatham, Virginia Photographer

Meet Zachary William. 8 days new! And the best newborn I have had the privilege to work with to date...he was perfect! He slept through the whole session, minus a few minutes of feeding--which he didn't fuss for! He was simply wonderful!

Here are a few from Zachary's session:

So precious!

(Not exactly sure why this image is showing up "cold." The edit is much warmer than it appears!)

MBP Faves of 2011 | South Central VA On Location Photographer

I sat down and went through all the sessions from this year and attempted to narrow down my favorites! Needless to say, it was extremely hard, so I will have to make a few posts here to get through them all:)

I have learned so much this year, and it was awesome to look and see how much I've grown. I am so thankful for my amazing clients and my wonderful fans! If you would like to view the entire Faves of 2011 album now, go to my fan page!
