Welcoming Baby Lucas’ to our Something Blue Family

Christy’s sister Joanna welcomed her second son in December, and Christy took SO many gorgeous photographs of this handsome baby boy.

We talk a lot about family around here, because through thick and thin nothing matters more. When Christy joined our Something Blue family in 2019 we were thankful and excited to have another talented photographer on our team. But what we didn’t realize then was that she would become such an integral part of our family. She continuously challenges herself to grow as an artist, and in doing so inspires all of us to do the same.

Christy’s sister Joanna welcomed her second son in December, and Christy took SO many gorgeous photographs of this handsome baby boy. It was inspiring to see Christy work so hard to not only give her sister (who looks JUST like her!) a beautiful gallery but to improve as a newborn photographer at the same time. With her new nephew as a model Christy tried out poses, props and lighting set-ups that will serve her (and our Something Blue families!) so well in the New Year. Each picture from Lucas’ gallery is so beautiful, I can’t wait to hear which ones Joanna chooses to print and frame for her home.

Baby Bode’s Beautiful Lifestyle Newborn Session

We were so excited when this amazing family announced they were expecting a little boy in 2020! This momma wanted to capture the beautiful moments when her babies were little through candid shots that showed Bode at home and his helpful big sister Frankie.

Lindsay first met the Phillippi family for their daughter Frankie’s 1 birthday session, an adorable fall shoot at one of our favorite locations, Volkening Heritage Farm.

We were so excited when they announced they were expecting a little boy in 2020! Over the summer Lindsay ran into Holly at a play date at North School Park, it was so fun to catch up with her and hear how her pregnancy was going!

The Phillippi family lives near downtown AH and have completely remodeled their 1920’s bungalow into the most gorgeous home. Holly sent Lindsay a photo of the front porch asking if they could do a few photos on it and she thought it looked like it was straight out of a magazine!

Holly hoped for for candid and authentic images that she could later look back on to see how little her babies were and how helpful Frankie was. Bode was an amazing baby and slept through most of the session. Frankie was full of energy and adorable. Joe was helpful in keeping Frankie occupied while Bode was nursing or being changed. We love this family and it was such a joy to photograph them at home, they are truly gorgeous inside and out.

Studio Newborn Session - Baby Maeve

We absolutely love when newborns come visit us at our studio. There is something so sweet and peaceful about a Newborn Studio Session - Lindsay and Christy love having the chance to document this fleeting moment in the lives of our Something Blue families. Beautiful Maeve was born five weeks early and was the perfect model for Lindsay, she slept through her whole session! Maeve's big brother Aiden was very excited to be with his new sister, we are so thankful to have this family as part of our Something Blue family.
