I could post all day long from this session! Little Olivia, just 5 days old kept sleeping thru it all. We had so much fun with her. She has the best lashes, and such perfect skin… what a dream to photograph. Her Mommy and Daddy are just glowing with pride with how special this little gem is:)
- She is the most beautiful baby! These pictures are super cute...good thing she looks like her mommy!
- just gorgeous!
- love these- the warm tones are so yummy! Did you get a new wall in that first set up? love the wall/ floor combo.
- oooh aaaahhhh! Love them all, my favorite is the first black and white with the dads hands coming up from the bottom of the picture....love the composition! Fabulous!
- At the risk of sounding way to sensative, I get choked up every single time I look at these! Thank you to Kelley and her Sister and assistants for making our new baby a legacy in our eyes! These will be treasured by our family for eternity! Can't wait to see all of the photos from the session. Thanks again, John
- Sigh....gorgeous.
- Breathtaking, phenomenal.... words fail me! Wish I had shots like these of my kids when they were babies
- Gorgeous work, Kelly. Love them all but that first one is my favorite. Love the all of the browns.
We had so much fun with Bennett. Just 11 days old, such beautiful strawberry blonde hair and peachy skin. His mommy better keep a tight leash on him!!

- Kelley...these are gorgeous, but then again I wouldn't expect anything less out of you ;) I love the new approach to the horizontal hanging cocoon thingy. Fabulous!

- Brilliant, as always, Ladies!!!!! Love them!

Happy 2010 everyone! Meet Isabella, a 13 day old beauty with such lovely plump lips. I’m going to be better this year at posting from all the sessions done in the past and future, even if that means just 1 or 2 images from a session. Tracy and I have had so many great hours in my studio lately and now its time to get some proofing done!
- I'm not a huge fan of the pose with the baby resting on its elbows, but you always make it look right. I think that's why I am not a fan of it in the first place - because so many times it looks unnatural and almost painful for the baby. Not with your shots. Nice work! I love the pose and the softness of the first image especially.
- and have a happy new year, both you and tracy, filled with successes!
- beautiful work! thank you for sharing your talent.
- Amazing...there're no words to express this work... I love it!
- Where did you get your big bean bag from? Mine is too soft and squashy.
- gorgeous, as always. i love the shot w/ the baby in basket/box with curled up blanket. so cute and comfy!
- oh she is gorgeous!!!! Beautiful work Kelly!
- Gorgeous Tracy! The first one is just precious and number 3 is totally awesome. Very creative!! Parents must be over the moon!
- Oh you make it look soooo easy. Your work is amazing.
- These are amazing! Great job as always!
- Erin, try beanbags.com... they don't sell the one I have anymore, but do have several very similar!
- That first image has just blown me away. Adore it. You're work is pure magic. Love everything you do :)
- I absolutely love all of your pictures. Baby pictures are the best and you have an amazing talent and eye!
So beautiful at 10 days old. She had the major wiggles for about the first 2 hours of the session, then slipped peacefully in to a wiggle free sleep:) We certainly had some fun with her at that point!
- Wow! Gorgeous set of images! I especially LOVE the first shot. ~Charlotte
- My baby is 12 weeks old today. If my husband and I decide to have another baby I've decided that I'm going to move to Omaha a month before my due date and just stay until you've taken our pictures. I love your work - it always brightens my day!

- hi, I am a Brazilian fan, I wish you could shoot my baby - she is on the way. I just want to tell you that our work is very chic and I can feel the love ou put on each image. Thanks for sharing the great work you do.
This was probably the easiest session I have had all year. I haven’t had many on-location session this year, so I look forward to them… but I have to admit I get a little nervous when I have 3 little ones to photograph at once. Meet Jackson, Alex and Whitney… the 3 beautiful kiddos that made this session a breeze. I am so very thankful for my clients for being so patient for their galleries during this busy time. This year has been a year of many firsts and I look forward to sharing some fun projects as they unveil!
something must have been really funny!
and when you have great ‘chub’ like this, it’s a must to show off. There aren’t many times in your life when you can pull this set-up off!
- Adorable children and that last shot is just too cute!!
- the first one is super cute, and the last one just too funny! :)) they are adorable :)
