callie

i've had so much fun with these babies lately! i did a maternity session for casey and jim back before Christmas, and i thought they were excited that baby then!


callie was born on march 29th, and she's just as beautiful as any kid with two pretty parents could possibly be. maybe it's the daddy's girl in me, but i can't help but love these first couple of images. jim might be a giant compared to his baby girl, but he's not too big to be completely wrapped around her tiny finger.





and maybe my favorite shot of all - i think she may have been trying to tell me to get that camera out of her face before she handled business herself. :) i don't blame her. a little girl's gotta be tough!

congratulations casey and jim on your beautiful beautiful little lady. can't wait to watch her grow!

drake & emma

adorable. energetic. sweet and sassy. it only took a quick glance for me to fall in love with these two crazy kids. after an hour with drake and emma, i was completely sold. their smiles are contagious!








it's amazing to get great feedback from an adult, but when two sweet faces like these run over at the end of a session to say, "miss allison, we had FUN taking pictures!," there's just no topping that!

here comes eli

Yep, that's my girl Stacey...smiling...in labor. She's my superwoman. After months of not taking, but teaching Jazzercise with "Baby Boy" in tow, she and Kelly finally made it to their special day at Durham Regional.

The scene in the waiting room was all smiles too (minus the pain, unless you count the pain of waiting). Grandpa Mike tried to concentrate on the game with the boys for some distraction, but we all know he was jumping up and down on the inside.



The waiting room erupted when we finally received word of some action. "7lbs, 11oz" was the text message from the new daddy that sent the family and friends in that room into a frenzy a little before 12:30 a.m. on March 24.







Eli Samuel Davis, only a few minutes after his birth.



Congratulations Stacey and Kelly! We looooooove baby Eli and can't wait to watch him grow!

little lexie

it's amazing how quickly our world can change. just a few weeks ago, i dropped in on laura and stephen and watched them laugh and dream about their baby girl on the way. now she's here, and lexie kay clayton is even more beautiful than i'm sure even they could imagine.

i stopped in on them again today for another fun photo shoot and she and her parents are doing great. she was even more gorgeous today than she was when i first met her. (i'll post those photos soon...forgive me for being behind! i started drafting this post in the waiting room at durham regional hospital on monday night, but was interrupted at 12:15 a.m. when roxboro baby #2 entered this world (stay tuned for baby eli too!).)

welcome to the world lexie kay!!!

payton

i couldn't wait to post this one! little lady payton and her mama and daddy gave me one of the most fun baby shoots i think i'll ever do. this baby beauty is a little over 5 weeks old, looks like a doll, and already has an awesome sense of humor. :)

if i've learned anything in my time as a portrait photographer, it's that you can never NEVER know what to expect from kids...especially the itty bitty ones. payton made her naked baby photo debut one that none of us in that room will ever forget...or let her forget. ;) scott and wendy, this is a story for the first date.


thanks y'all!

jake

oooooh how i love little boys! i was so excited to be asked to photograph baby jake with his parents, leighanne and david. it's always nice to do a little work back home, and this one was extra extra fun. this baby is an angel. can't wait to watch him grow up and run wild. ;) have you ever seen a sweeter face?! (of course it doesn't hurt that he's already a carolina fan.)
