A few days ago we got to work with a very very special newborn baby, Emily. Emily was not only a miracle.. but we’re convinced that she truly is an angel! A little over a month ago Nikki McClure was in a horrible car accident with a semi truck while 8 months pregnant (stories here and here.) She was rushed to the hospital and shortly after delivered a sweet, completely heathy and unharmed baby girl, Emily. The doctors said that had Nikki not been pregnant she would have died from blood loss- meaning this little angel saved her momma’s life <3
We were so excited to meet this little sweetie! Geeze was she beautiful! Her dad was so calm and nice and we were glad to let him sit back and relax for a few hours.
After she had a bottle and was sound asleep Julie grabbed her camera and came to pick her up.. and she had her hands posed in the shape of a heart! We’ve all seen adorable pictures like this all over Pinterest, but this little lady posed HERSELF this way.. how unreal is that?

Isn’t she perfect? We always try to stress to new mommies to bring their babies in in the first 10 days because it’s hard to have a smooth session if they’re much older than that. Emily was 5 weeks old and I can honestly say she was more peaceful and content than a lot of 5 DAY old babies we have. She is an angel.. I’m telling you ;0)
In honor of Emily and her mother Nikki (who is still in recovery), for a limited time Design Revolution will be selling The Emily Hat - And all proceeds will go to the family. Emily’s story really touched our hearts.. and we can’t thank this family enough for sharing their angel with us <3
















Hi Julie, First of all, I just want you to know that I really admire you and am very impressed with your photos! I am an aspiring photographer/momtographer (as they say), just self taught, but have much to learn. I wanted to know if you may have any advice on free webinars or online tutorials? I wanted to be sure and pick one that was really worthwhile and that I could really learn a lot from and I feel hearing it from someone as yourself (whom is so talented), would be the best way to find out. I am also interested in photoshop tutorials? Thanks for your inspiring photos that makes me strive to be better every day and I appreciate any advice or help with this! Sincerely, Amy
Wow! Thank you for sharing that touching story. That is so sweet and tender.
