Madelyn Jane Gellenbeck is already five weeks old! The old saying “time really does fly” rings even truer when you’re talking about a newborn. I {Teresa} am fortunate enough to have a sister and business partner who not only loves babies, but is a fantastic photographer. 🙂 She accompanied us in the delivery room to capture the arrival of our newest addition. Don’t worry, we’ve spared you the intimate details!
Meet Madelyn, born 2//16//16…
After coming home from the hospital and settling in, we {of course} scheduled her newborn shoot. This was her stylized session at ten days new. Our hearts are forever changed!
Thanks to the man upstairs for this little miracle, to my sister for all the beautiful hospital images and help with the newborn session and thanks to all our friends and family that have visited, brought food, gifts and love. We are truly blessed!
We have been busy around here! So blessed to have been a part of so many amazing milestones in the last week…
Finished up and mailed out a wedding gallery for a couple close to our hearts. Look at all this smooching going on! –>
I got to go wedding dress shopping with my sister in law. –>
She found her dream dress at Ivy Bridal Studio in Dublin. This place was amazing!
For starters, Ivy is locally owned and operated, which I love supporting. Jackie, the owner, was Carrie’s bridal consultant and was fantastic to work with. She was laid back, non-pressured and completely honest. And she knew what she was doing ~ it was her business!
Carrie was the ONLY bride in the store, the way to go in my opinion, now that I’ve been to ten+ bridal stores over the years. You get one on one attention and it really makes it a more intimate experience for both the bride and her entourage. Ivy is simplistic, yet elegant and absolutely GORGEOUS, which helps make the bride feel gorgeous [which every bride deserves!] I wish I could get married all over again and go through this experience myself 🙂
These were shot with our iPhones and don’t do the place justice. Hope to go back again when Carrie does her fitting and take my big-girl camera!
Carrie found her dream dress and we all got to celebrate…
And BABIES!!!!!
Kelsey got to shoot her very first birth photography session last week. As she said, there was not a dry eye in the room –>
And lastly…. Kelsey had her baby! I officially have another nephew and we now have THREE boys between the two of us. If you have boys or know boys, you know why we only manage to blog once or twice per week… they keep you busy!
I was honored and blessed to be allowed to be in the delivery room, as well as doing MY first birth photography as well! This first is iPhone pics we shared on Instagram….
