Henry Ryan

It's boys, boys, boys for the Dowker family. My twin sister-in-laws are both pregnant, only seven weeks apart - that's pretty cool, and they're both having boys. We`ve all been waiting anxiously for Emma and James to have their little boy Henry. After being a week overdue, and Emma having to be induced, Henry made his appearance:) He was born at 2:45am on August 9th, weighing 7lbs 15 oz.

Henry is so tiny, perfectly chubby and he has a beautiful peaches and cream skin tone. Here are some of Emma (and Kate's) maternity photos that we took a couple of weeks before Henry's birth. And of course, lots of sweet Henry. He is one very loved little baby, especially by his two cousins, Grant and Max (mine). Enjoy!

There`s No Place Like Home

Brynn is definitely a well loved little lady. Becky and John are so much in love with her, and it`s not hard to see why. She was absolutely adorable, right down to her perfect, little red shoes.

Don't You Just Want to Squeeze Them!

There is nothing better than when I get to photograph a beautifully chubby baby. Ryker was such a happy boy, and absolutely adorable (he does have to keep up to his gorgeous big sister). He was stuffed full of smiles. It is so evident through the photos that Kristen and James just adore him and Emma.

It has been fun to watch their family grow from Emma's baby pictures, to Kristen's maternity session for Ryker and now meeting the little man himself. One of the best things about being a photographer is the opportunity to get to know so many amazing families and watch their little ones grow from year to year.

Miss Abigail

Miss Abigail is the daughter of my husband's cousin Natasha. It is always extra special when I am able to photograph family. Natasha couldn't be more in love with her daughter. Abigail is surrounded with people who love her. Words can't describe how wonderful it is to hold a newborn - their movements, their smell, their noises...

She is beautiful Natasha!

I just love my little man...

His extreme cuteness allows him to get away with alot...even from the beginning.

Baby Beal Number Four

I met Shannon and Mack when we were both pregnant with our first baby in prenatal class. Their pink baby, Ada, and our blue baby, Grant are only three days apart. It is hard to believe that was five years ago. Well, Shannon and Mack have had three more beautiful little babes since then (Van, Layla and new baby Joni). Congrats guys, you are blessed to have such happy and healthy kids.
