I am thrilled to announce the newest baby to grace the Libbie Wicket studio… Andre. He had to be coaxed to finally make his appearance in this world. He gave his momma quite a hard time but she says, “it is all worth it.”
I assured her that the best thing about giving birth is the end result. Also, it is such a God gift that we look back and seem to remember it not being so bad. God graces us with “mommy brains” so that we don’t remember all the pain.
I adore when my clients have their babies photographed with something relevant that has great history. This gown is the perfect example. It is seventy years old and has been passed down and passed down throughout mom’s family. It is elegant and beautiful. Andre looked like and angel wearing it.
It was a delight to be Andre’s very first friend and photographer. I am thrilled at the thought of watching him grow!

the world of pink! :: Newborn Portraits
As I posted about earlier in the week, the part I adore most about my work is getting to know families and watching them grow. When I first met this couple four years ago, they had just had their first child. An outgoing, even-tempered sweet little guy. At his one-year-session, mom told me she was expecting baby number two. It was thrilling to spend the next year photographing the two boys. Sweet baby number two was a little bit on the shy side and at a couple of sessions he really made all of us work hard to keep him happy. However, he has now bloomed into such a sweet guy and we had an awesome session back in November.
So, I was thrilled to death when I found out I would be a part of welcoming baby number three to the growing family. This is not just any baby… it is a girl! Mom and Dad are over the moon with excitement over her arrival!
Mom had plenty of pink all around and this sweet little bow to adorn Decker’s little head.
Mom and I laughed because both of the boys were born with a head full of hair. So, in preparation, Mom bought several sweet bows. Well, little Decker came out with only a tiny bit of hair. So much for proper planning…
Do you think Daddy is just a little in love? I have watched him with three newborns and I can tell this is a little something different. Seems Miss Decker has already stolen his heart!
I love the pink as much as Mom does. It is fun to have a girl! Welcome to the world sweet Decker!

hello little newborn hayley :: Newborn Portraits
How much fun it is to watch a family grow! This little girl is welcomed by not only mom and dad but also big sister Mackenzie.
Mom was concerned she might look overly tired. Hmm- I think not. I adore this portrait!
When Hayley and mom arrived, Hayley was fussy and squirmy. It took us about an hour but we got her cozy and happy and then I got this:
Mom brought this blanket for us to use and I adored it. I think I might have to go grab one for the studio stash!
We had such a great time and sweet little Hayley was a very good model for us. It looks like we wore her out with her great big yawn!
This has been a busy week full of lots of sessions. So, look for quite a few blog posts over the next week.

four days old :: Newborn Portraits
I am very honored to be a part of this families story. They have been clients since the birth of big sister Lydie almost four years ago. Since then we have shared a lot of laughs and smiles and also some tears and sadness. Most of my readers will remember sweet baby mac. He is the second child for these parents and he was called to God only minutes after he was born. I was extremely blessed to be there to photograph his few minutes on earth and to bid him farewell until we meet again in heaven.
So, I was especially excited when I got the call that baby number three would be arriving in January 2010. What a treat it would be to welcome another child into this awesome family. All signs were good through the pregnancy and a very healthy baby Hudson arrived a week ago today.
Guess who else is really excited?
This is a family deserving of so much love and happiness. My prayer is that this sweet baby marks the beginning of many wonderful days ahead for them.
I leave you with some sweet toes… I could not resist the cuteness! I hope you all have a wonderful week.
- Yeah! What great news! Feb 08th, 2010, 4:02PM
- Elizabeth, you never cease to amaze me! The photos are stunning, as always. What a blessing you have been to our entire family. Thank you!! Feb 08th, 2010, 9:02PM

welcome sweet newborn daniel! :: Newborn Portraits
Dear Daniel,
What a treat it was to meet you earlier this week. Do you realize that almost exactly two years ago I photographed your sweet big brother? He, like you, was a dreamy newborn with beautiful skin and long eyelashes. Look how his eyelashes have grown- I bet yours will look like this in two years.
It somehow seems unfair for boys to be blessed with such beautiful features.
Speaking of features, your precious little parts are so amazing. I love your hands with all the new little wrinkles and tiny little fingernails.
Overall, you are perfect in every way!
In closing, I want to tell you that you are part of such an amazing family. Your very brilliant parents already adore every little thing about you and your big brother is excited to share his world with you.
Thanks for being such a great little bundle of joy for me.
Love,
Miss Elizabeth

triplet love :: Multiples Newborn Portraits
What an honor it is for me to be able to welcome a new baby into the world and to capture that special moment in a families life. It is a triple treat to welcome three babes all at once!
I have to say.. I have no idea how a momma does it with three little ones. However, Lindsay does it with grace, patience and love!
I wish I could tell you that these babies are just this calm and peaceful all the time… but you would know I was fibbing. Right? This was about four hours into the session and we were all hot and tired from working hard. Finally God smiled on us and the babies all slept for just a few minutes AT THE SAME TIME! That right there is probably what makes parenting triplet newborns so tough- the lack of sleep!
These five-week-old beauties stole my heart!
Mason, Will and Elle- thank you for such a fun morning getting my fair share of baby love!
- Absolutely stunning! (as usual Elizabeth!!) I don't know how one manages triplets! I have two sets of twins, but often wonder about how one juggles triplets. Best wishes to this lovely family!! Jan 28th, 2010, 8:01AM
- Thank you sooo much. Your family looks so peace-ful. I'm sure it is not always like this. By the way, do any of the children have dimples like their momma? Thanks for sharing & please do so often. Love to all..dort Jan 28th, 2010, 3:01PM
- beautiful images!! love the last one especially! Jan 29th, 2010, 12:01PM
