Lincoln's 1st Photo Shoot

When Lincoln was only 13 days old we took him to his very 1st photo shoot in Spring Hill, TN to the sweetest photographer Keri Kay. We've always used Matt Andrews for photos and LOVE him! (flashback to our wedding and maternity sessions with Matt). For Lincoln's newborn session we wanted to venture out and try someone who specializes with little ones. I was a little nervous since Matt has become our friend and comfort zone over the past few years. A friend of a friend has the cutest little girls who use Keri and we loved her portfolio. Thanks Waddie for the recommendation!

Keri has a super cute and comfy studio that is beyond welcoming for new parents -or experienced parents, my point is you get there and feel right at home! She is a mother herself and understands the lack of scheduling with newborns. I nursed Lincoln right when we got there, stalling the start to his session for almost an hour. She totally gets it and led me to her cooler room across the hall from the room she shoots in, sat me in the rocking chair and situated me with a Boppy to use - very accommodating to say the least! Keri keeps the newborn shooting room super warm and cozy to keep the babies in a nice deep sleep so she can mold them into place. We trusted her right off the bat with him, after all she has WAY more experience than either of us with babies, her own and all the cuties she's worked with over the years. 
We never felt rushed even though we were there 9am-2ish. She took her time with us and was able to capture Lincoln's precious newness.

Here's a couple of our favorites:



Even though we're not on facebook I've been able to stalk look at Keri's page to see her new posts. Here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/kerikayphotography

And here is Keri's blog write up of Lincoln's session with a recap of our time together and a teaser of his photos: http://networkedblogs.com/CT8jQ

We can't wait to see the rest! Thank you Keri- see you soon for his 3 month session!
Happy Monday!
Love,
Dennis, Denisse and Lincoln the "snuggler"
