Grace was one of my first newborns that did a newborn mini session and I have come to love these types of sessions. A newborn mini session is a good way to just focus on the baby and get some quality images while still watching your budget. A newborn mini session with April C Hurdle Photography is a 1 hour session and includes 10 digital images for you to print in any way you like.
I really enjoyed Grace’s session so much. She was such a dainty little girl and just the best little sleeper. I don’t remember her making a peep the whole time. And the other thing I loved about her session was just how in awe of God’s handy-work her parents were. I could just tell that when they looked at her they were just overcome with joy in how God had blessed them. I could be mistaken but I think they both got a little emotional while they were watching me pose her. I also thought it was extremely sweet that her daddy had picked out the headband he wanted her to wear before they even got to the session. He said he just loved that little pearl.
And just because she has a pet bunny named “Waffles”, we had to put some bunny ears on her!

Every once in a while, I gift a session to a family in the Collierville area in an effort to show my gratitude for the support I have received as a family photographer in the Collierville community. I have met so many special families through this journey and have been blessed immensely through these meetings. Jathaniel and his family are extra special since he has been one of the pastors at my church, Collierville UMC, for the past year. It’s funny, but Jathaniel and I both lived in Camden, TN, at one point in our lives though not at the same time. His father was the pastor at the church where I attended as a small child. Jathaniel is being moved along to another Methodist church in the Memphis area so I chose his family for a session as a little thank you for what they have all done during their time at CUMC. I have no doubt that his new church will love him just as we did and that he, with God’s help, will do great things there.
I had no trouble choosing my favorites from this session as there were so many. At one point in the session, I literally had chill bumps because I was so excited about how these images were turning out and also in response to the sheer love that this family obviously has for one another. While I hope the session was a blessing to them, you can be assured that I was blessed even more as I watched them snuggle and laugh together. If you want a tiny glimpse of the love God has for all of humanity, just take a look at the love within the bonds of this family.
Thanks, guys, for a great night!
