Sweet, sleepy, and already stealing the show in her little bucket setup 🥹✨
We had to add a tiny bunny for a few shots… because everything has been “Brielle’s Bunnies”🐰🤍

Swipe through to see:

🤍 Brielle all by herself (so simple + timeless)
📸 And a behind-the-scenes moment with me — her mama & photographer 💕

✨ Published in the NAPCP “Playful” Issue – March 2026 ✨

I’m so honored to share that this image has been published by the National Association of Professional Child Photographers in their “Playful” issue.

Captured on my Canon EOS R5 with an 85mm lens, this moment features Zoey chasing one of our beautiful self blue hens on a soft, foggy morning.

For those who may not know, alongside K-Rae Images, we also breed specialty chickens — which makes moments like this even more meaningful. The connection between childhood and the simple beauty of farm life is something I’ll never stop cherishing.

This image feels like a perfect blend of both worlds… motherhood, movement, and a little bit of magic. 🤍

Thank you for celebrating this moment with me.

Why is MY hand in this froggy photo? Multiple reasons:
1) to show she’s always supported
2) to show my presence as her mom & photographer
3) to show her size - because they aren’t little for long

Yes, I also did one without my hand 👉🏼 swipe right to see - but this first image has more meaning to me.

Welcome Brielle, we love you so much already!

Less than 2 weeks PP and already back at it. More newborn sessions and photos to come! Here’s a sneak peek and her birth story…

✨ Brielle Ann’s Birth Story ✨

“On Wednesday night, January 21st, 2026, we walked into the hospital at 10:00 PM, full of anticipation and quiet excitement, ready to meet the little girl we had been dreaming about for months. I was barely ½ cm dilated, and we laughed at how calm and gentle the beginning felt.

The baby monitor was wireless—so modern and neat—and when the nurse asked if I knew I was already having contractions, I told her I thought they were just Braxton Hicks. She smiled and said, “Nope… you’ve been having real ones.” That’s when it all started to feel real.

At 11:15 PM, I took my first half dose of Cytotec, and by 3:10 AM on January 22nd, I took the second. Then, at 5:15 AM, my water broke all on its own—and everything shifted. The contractions grew stronger, deeper, and more purposeful. My body took over, and I never needed Pitocin to jump start her delivery into the world.

At 8:50 AM, my epidural went in, and suddenly, peace. I slept. I let my body prepare. By 2:30 PM, I was 9 cm, fully effaced, and at zero station. Soon after, I reached 10 cm, and it was time. At 5:00 PM, I started pushing—and after about 30 minutes, our world changed forever.

With the most incredible teamwork, Daddy helped deliver our baby girl, lifting her gently onto my chest as Dr. Phan unwrapped her nuchal cord. Time stood still in that moment. Her first breath, her warmth against my skin, and the overwhelming rush of love filled the room.

At 5:26 PM, Brielle Ann was born. 🤍
We waited, watching her cord pulse with life for about 4½ minutes before it was finally cut—just soaking in every second of her arrival.

She came into the world strong and perfect:
✨ 8 lbs 12 oz
✨ 20.5 inches long
✨ 13¾ inch head & chest

The best part? No tearing. No stitches. Just pure joy. I felt amazing, grateful, and completely in awe of this tiny miracle we now get to love forever.

Welcome to the world, Brielle Ann. You are already so deeply loved. 🤍✨”
