R family

I met the R family before the holidays, as can probably be seen from the ah-mazing autumn leaves. Little J reminded me so much of Hayden. He was curious about me and my camera for about 5 minutes, and then he just want to RUN! And since Mommy and Daddy R didn't particularly want pictures of the back of his head, I ran with him! Which probably looked pretty funny since I was in my third trimester with Knox. But I'm glad I did because who wouldn't want to capture that cute little face? And Mama R and I got to compare pregnancies, as she was almost 20 weeks and glowing with her adorable little bump. Here are a few that I can't help but share:

The B family - maternity

I was so excited that my very first session back from my "babymoon" was a maternity one with gorgeous J and her hubby! These 2 are the proud parents-to-be of a spring baby girl and I had so much fun documenting their last season as a family of 2 - or really as a family of 3 counting cute doggy D who came with us. I learned a couple of things on this shoot. 1) I learned that sessions are sooo much easier now that I'm not preggo myself! 2) That I should check the weather more thoroughly before bringing along balloons to a field on a windy day, and 3) that my hair will never be as awesome as J's! You may not be able to tell from these photos, but it was windy and her hair looked as great at the end of the shoot as it started out at the beginning. I cannot wait to meet sweet baby M this spring! She is sure to be as adorable as her cute parents!

Holiday minis part 2

So I couldn't be any later blogging the rest of my awesome holiday minis! Those beautiful autumn leaves seem like so long ago. But I couldn't NOT share the rest of these great families out of sheer embarrassment for my belated blogging, so here the are. FINALLY.

The reason I've been on blogging hiatus....

Meet Knox Thomas Davidson
Born January 18, 2011

















Now that my little love is 6 weeks old, and I'm slowly beginning to feel more like a human being than a sleep-deprived zombie, I'm going to get back to playing blog catch-up with my fall/winter sessions. I'm also currently booking for spring sessions and filling up quickly, so email me at katiedavidsonphotography@gmail.com now to snag a date!

Holiday minis part 1

In the past I've done separate blog posts for each of my mini sessions, but since I had so many amazing families sign up and since I have a fear that if I don't get all of my sessions blogged by the time baby boy makes his appearance, they won't get blogged until I'm getting an adequate amount of sleep (i.e. who knows how long!), I'm going to combine them into 2-3 posts.

I'm so thrilled with how my mini sessions have taken off. For those that don't know, I offer minis twice a year (in the spring and in the fall), and they are shorter, cheaper sessions offered one weekend only at a date and location that I've chosen. I call the fall sessions "holiday minis" because almost everyone is looking for a great family image for their Christmas card! I had several repeat clients as well as some awesome, new referrals this year.

For "Part 1," I had a fabulous new family (whose first image completely melts my about-to-have-two-boys heart), my mini session faithful C fam (Mama C also provided me with some amazing referrals this year - KDP LOVES her!), as well as the then-5 month old C twins, whose newborn session last spring is still one of my favorites to date.

















Part 2 will be on it's way soon!

Baby girl B *newborn*

As I come up on my 38th week of pregnancy, my mind is constantly filled with thoughts of tiny fingers and toes, little baby cries, and new snuggles and smooches. I wonder if every twitch in my tummy could be "the time" and don't really think of much else. So while I'm waiting and obsessing over baby boy, I've decided to blog a little out of order and share a newborn session I did last month.

Baby girl B arrived in time to share Christmas with Mama and Daddy L and her proud big sisters. Just when I thought the L family couldn't get any cuter, they add this little joy. At 10 days old, little B was as content and alert as she could be. We couldn't get her to stay asleep for long but it didn't really matter because she's so sweet-tempered. Her only objection was being completely naked in December with a poofy hat on her head, and I can't say I blame her :) Here are my favorites.







Daddy L couldn't resist stuffing his little newbie in a stocking, and she was sooo cute!









Big sisters K and B. I love this adorable family!

H family

I'm 37 weeks preggo today and absolutely determined to use this time of nesting and waiting before baby brother is born to get caught up on blogging for all of my fall and winter sessions! So get ready for some major posting, starting with the adorable H family. This supermama made time for an early morning family session just hours before boy A's 2nd birthday party and didn't seem stressed in the least. Just a typical morning playing on the train tracks :)
