This past week, Mallory Grace Yoakem entered this world of ours. I had the pleasure of capturing her sweet family prior to her arrival- you can read and see about that, here.
Well, this sweet thing knows how to put on a show! And her mama, Ashley was a champ! Only eight days post c-section, this mama was game to capture her fourth and first baby girl!
Personally, I would hang each and every one of these in wall size canvas. (Just sayin') But I'm not her mama :)
A big kudos goes out to one of my favorite people in the whole wide world, Cari Cephus, for not only assisting with the set up in this shoot but never turning down a crazy idea of mine~ (let's face it, when I say, "I have an idea...most people start to run!) Cari lead me out to her barn, (which oh my goodness, I am still dreaming about) and helped me not only locate a tree and a handful of branches, but helped cut down and haul it back home here to the studio) which we stayed up late trying to figure out how to safely hang a newborn sack from. Which we did!
She also lent me the gorgeous, mouth watering saddle in these images. Thanks Cari! And Thank you again, Ashley for the honor and risk you took allowing me to capture sweet, sweet Mallory Grace Yoakem!!!!!
