Some families don’t want to do Easter baskets on Easter to make sure that they don’t take away from the true meaning of Easter. Personally, my family’s Easter tradition ensured I never had a problem with understanding what Easter was all about as a kid, while still enjoying my Easter basket on Easter morning. Today,...
My next tip to Help Your Baby “Sleep Like a Baby” is to Relax! You are doing a Great Job! Your instincts will help you a lot as a parent, and reading extra advice, in those spare moments while rocking your baby, is an added bonus. (Of course, please ask your baby’s pediatrician every question...
For this first Baby Plan session, I created a vintage baby photoshoot by adding a classic bonnet and a beautiful matching knit blanket. Also, I included a doll bed my grandfather made for me when I was a little girl. Simple, elegant details can elevate your portraits to heirloom pieces that you will want your...
I feel so blessed every time a family chooses me to be their newborn photographer. This time, I got to travel to a home in the Huntsville area to meet 11 day old Baby Seraphina. She really is as sweet as her name, and so are her three older siblings. Four children four and under,...
As a Huntsville Newborn Photographer, I love getting to serve new moms with newborn photography in their home, but I also love serving new moms with a complimentary design consultation, as a part of their ordering appointment. It can be so hard to visualize what your portraits will look like on your wall, and that’s...
Dear Postpartum Mama,
The last 2 months have been exhausting right?
You’re hanging in there, but sometimes you just need to give yourself permission to rest!
If you need that permission, here it is.
Your kids are ok with the iPad time they’re getting.
It’s ok that you haven’t put on “real” pants yet.
Take a break, sleep, take a nap, cry, ask for help.
You’ve got this.
"I never felt so beautiful than I did with the maternity pictures that Ellen captured. Because of that, I decided that I would use her for newborn photos as well.
What I love about Ellen is that she will come to your house for the newborn sessions. That way, your precious little one gets to stay in the comfort of their own home and it made it easier on us, as my husband and I were new parents.
Another thing I love about Ellen and her work is that she took her time capturing this precious stage of a babies life. Because she took her time, she was able to capture a little smile from our little man.
I can’t thank Ellen enough for her time and the work and love that she puts into her photos. If you are looking for a photographer to capture your family, she is THE ONE! Trust me, she won’t let you down." -Kati
This sweet 3 month old had the cutest expressions! The first one reminds me of the Gerber baby. 😊
What’s your favorite baby expression? A yawn, smile, or the Gerber pose?

I hear it all the time. "I`m not sure I want to be in the photos."
You see the dark circles under your eyes.
You see the last 10 pounds of baby weight you`ve been meaning to lose.
You see your hair that won`t do what you want it to, because you haven`t had a haircut in months.
But here`s a little secret:
That`s not what your kids see.
They see the mom who gets them back to sleep night after night.
They see the mom who snuggles in bed with them when they have bad dreams.
They see familiar clothes that remind them of you.
They see the hair they play with when they can`t fall asleep.
They see you, mom, in all your glory.
I know it`s tempting to be the person behind the camera. (Hello, I am a photographer!)
But you have to be in front of it too. There are so many reasons why.
When you look back at this time in your life, you`ll want to remember what you looked like.
(Trust me, you`ll think you look amazing. Remember when you thought you weren`t pretty enough in high school?)
When your kids look at the pictures from this time in their lives, they`ll want to see you.
But on top of that, your kids are watching you. If you`re hiding from the camera, they`ll wonder why. And maybe even think they should hide, too.
It`s time for us all to step in front of that camera and own our look.
P.S. Can you tell I`ve been busy planning a beach vacay & day dreaming about our previous beach trips? 🏝
