Baby H. Newborn Portraits

 I've been dying to show you these pictures of Baby H. but had to keep them under wraps for a baby shower gift surprise . So here they are . Isn't she the cutest little thing ? Not a surprise with such good looking parents .

Ryan had his hand on her to calm her between shots , and I loved the look of his strong hand on her smooth baby skin :

I swear she was laughing :

Ryan, and Jacque , I am so blessed to get to be a part of your lives together . I love you both, and now all three of you , and I know you are going to be fantastic parents . Congratulations on the birth of your little girl, she is such a blessing !

Studio Mini sessions: Feb 11th!

Mini sessions are coming February 11th! For those of you who don't know what a mini session is, it isn't a lower quality of portrait session, the "mini" part is just referring to a shortened session- roughly 20 minutes. I only offer these about every 6 months, so be sure and get in on it! Please contact me at info@amportraits.com or click on the "contact ange" link at the bottom of this post.  I'd also like to mention that mini sessions are the only time that you can get the studio set-up from me, and also the only time I will accept babies and small children (for now anyway) that aren't part of a family portrait session.
Also other ideas would be to get some cute belly shots if you are pregnant, a nice engagement shot for your wedding invitations, a portrait of your pet, or a business headshot.
The package fee includes your session fee, as well as the negatives or prints you want. You will get a website within a couple days of your session that will have digital proofs on it. You can use that website to choose prints or negatives.

Here are the package options (choose one of the two):

Digital Package $199+tax:
-Mini session
-5 full size negatives of your choice with rights to print unlimited prints in any size
-Mounted textured 8x10 print

Print Package $199+tax:
-Mini session
-$125 print credit
-Disk with small resolution watermarked proofs to share on Facebook, via e-mail, etc.

Baby "H". Birth Story

(Forgive any type-os in this post, I'm going on very little sleep and am lacking in the brain dept. right now) This post is so close to my heart. One of my dearest friends in all the world, Jacque, and her husband, who is also one of my good friends, gave birth to the most beautiful, perfect little girl I've ever seen. I've waited for this baby for YEARS. When she was born, it actually made me cry. And I'm not the cry-er type of girl. She made her mama work for it though. I believe 58 hours of labor was the end calculation. Poor Jacque. She was a trooper, and I was blessed to get to spend most of the night with her last night and half the day today watching her work to bring this baby girl into the world.
IRONICALLY enough, Baby H. was born on the EXACT same day as my son. The ironic part about it is that exactly a year ago today, Jacque was taking pictures of MY son being born.
Her due date was almost two weeks ago, but she waited two weeks, I think just so that we could share this special date. :) Ok, maybe not, but still really neat.

This picture is one of my favorites. It tells a story. It was so hard to watch Jacque go through all that pain, and have such a long drawn out labor, and not be able to do anything about it. You can see how painful that was for Ryan by looking in his eyes, and Jacque's mom was clearly trying to do some of the pushing herself. She made this face every time Jacque pushed, I think maybe hoping she could help vicariously.

Ryan & Jacque waited to find out the sex of their baby, so this was the moment when they first saw that they had a little girl:

She is loved by many:

Announcing the winner!

I heard about quite a few different families in the last few days of the One Deserving Family giveaway, and that made this decision really difficult. The family I chose, though, I am very excited about, and they were not only nominated by one person, but by two (and the other didn't know the first had). That really drove the point home how much they are affecting people around them.

 

This is what Cindy L. wrote about the winning family: 

"I just heard about your give-away and a very special family I know came to mind.  Even when they are battling physical pain and challenges the Lopezes give to others, open their home and encourage them. Prior to marrying Olivia, Emilio had a sledding accident that broke numerous bones in his body and still managed to have a positive attitude through a difficult recovery.  Olivia has overcome addictions and is constantly reaching out to hurting and struggling people.  She shares the joy that she has found in her relationship with God with everyone around her and never judges anyone.  She has an incredible empathy because of what she has gone through in her life.  They serve and give of themselves selflessly in their church and Celebrate Recovery (An addiction recovery ministry).  I have had the honor of teaching two of their daughters in Lapwai where they live.  Olivia regularly volunteers in her children's classrooms.  They took in her nephew and made him part of a loving family.  You may not know that Emilio and Olivia  just recently adopted A****.  He has really become secure and full of joy since being in their home. His mom has been in and out of his life (and jail).   Their five children are very blessed to have Emilio and Olivia as their parents! They are an inspirational family and it would be so amazing to see them get this gift!"

Another nomination for the Lopez family from Tanya C.:

"I have known this family for the last few years. Although we do not spend a lot of time together in person, I see Olivia’s Face book posts daily. For as long as she has had a Facebook, she has always shared the daily struggles that she faces, and yet she never leaves a negative remark. I can remember when they were in a car accident, and they lost their car. Olivia was still thanking God for their safety and boldly stated that He would provide their family with what they needed. She is constantly thanking God for all that she has. Olivia is always writing positive things about her children. She is happ to volunteer at Lapwai School. She writes about how much she loves her husband, and she writes about her love of other people’s children.

I know that Olivia has struggled with being sick in the past, and for health reasons she has not worked full time. Yet she never complains about finances, and has even taken family members into her home to care for them. I am always encouraged by the hope and the joy that is demonstrated in this family. They are over comers, they are believers and they are living a life that speaks of the trust they have in God. I feel that this family would be more than blessed to receive the gift of a professional family portrait."

 

Congratulations Lopez family! You are obviously a blessing to those around you. You truly embody the spirit of Christmas.
