Baby Adalyn | Kristen Rue Photography | Nashville Newborn Photographer

Those first few days are so blurry, right mama? Everything melts together into a swirl of color, sound, smells, and exhaustion. But it’s also a dream, a living daydream. Like you can’t believe you brought this beautiful being home, to be yours forever.

It is such an honor for me to be able to document these fleeting, irreplaceable moments for families. And one of my biggest regrets is not having someone come do that for me. I thought hey, I’m a photographer, I can just do it myself. Ha! While I did get some shots of my babies while they were little bitty, I have precious few moments captured of us together. And the ones I do have, I treasure like gold.

Babies don’t keep.

I met Cyndi and Chad at my Christmas mini sessions last year. She was pregnant with this sweet nugget at the time, so I pulled her over to the side and took a few maternity pictures of her. She was radiant. Then I had the privilege of taking baby Adalyn’s newborn pictures. They now have these moments marked in time, to be treasured for generations.

This is the work of my heart and one of my greatest joys.

Welcome earthside, Adalyn Jean!
