i have probably 25 family sessions i haven't shown here but levi jumps to the top.
i got to spend time with him when he was one week old…and yesterday too.
levi is the brother to sweet baby Cora McClenahan who is with jesus now.
he was the most calm newborn i have ever seen.
and i swear he smiles.
i kept saying "look…he's smiling again!"
his grandma made him this special quilt from all the scraps from the cora dresses.
the print of his name was a baby gift for jess and joel for levi's room.
it's from my sweet prints. 
those baby rolls…cruel punishment to a mommy like me with no babies at home.
oh mr. levi.
i wanted to keep you for my own. :)
Amy R. - Awesome pictures! I just love him in the locker basket…genius! I am so happy for them!
Melanie RIley - Such a beautiful baby! Your photos captured his essence perfectly. I love the quilt that his grandma made for him, too. Such precious memories.
Cathy - What kind of camera do you use?
Courtney - oh, he’s beautiful! Love the picture of him all swaddled in green
Melissa - soooooooo cute, I don’t know which photos is my favorite but I do love those feet.
I want to send you something, would you please give me your address?
sarah - Meg you did such a spectacular job taking photos of precious Levi…I can’t wait to meet him myself! Since we can’t meet him yet, it touched my heart to see your pictures! thanks meg 🙂

Rachel / cREaTe - i LOVE that his grandma made a blanket for him out of the ‘cora dress’ scraps. what a wonderful idea … and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY! i got chills when i read that … that is so so special. 🙂 darling.
Christina - Perfect.
Oh, those toes! They did me in.
The black and white of the three of them is beautiful. I love the looks on their faces, but especially Joel’s.
Lori - What a doll! Love the photos!
Alaina - He is so beautiful and I just can’t help but cry every time I see this sweet boy or read his mama’s blog. Lucky you! You’re pics are beautiful!
michele - what a beautiful, beautiful little boy. but to send me to the story of his sister … ?? oh gosh. i sobbed. for half an hour last night i cried big, fat, ugly cries for them. that beautiful little girl, that chubby leg sticking out of the sink, and knowing that right at that moment her little body was being eaten by the monster. you caused me to go into an instantaneous grief for them, following right into fervent prayer. so, thanks a lot. and, thank you. and, god bless that sweet family.
Karen - The picture of little Levi’s feet . . . sigh!!! 🙂
tasha roe - those are so heart warming! sigh….makes me want another.
i am so happy for them! not a day has gone by that they haven’t crossed my mind this year. i always felt like it was the lord nudging me to pray for them. what a little blessing, mr levi is!!
Martina - I love the ones with the quilt! Beautiful and so special, too.
melissa @ the inspired room - so sweet. if i could have anything to do over in life, it would be to take today’s photography equipment and YOU and run back to 1988-2000 and take photos all over again. Especially in 1988.
🙂

christine - I seriously could not wait to see your session(s) with Levi. You captured Cora’s sweet spirit so beautifully and the images of her reached across these miles and made me feel like I had known her myself. The pictures of Levi are just as amazing. What a precious little man. Thanks for sharing them 🙂
jeannie - So weird…. until very recently, my Grandma lived in Newton KS! I know your town! My great grandma, my best friend as a kid, lived at 1609 Hillcrest in the big old house. It’s not in the family any more, but it will always be Gram’s house to me.

Kind of like the Mona Lisa smile captured in that photo.
How wonderful to spend time with such a gorgeous baby!
Heather @ Cookie Mondays - Okay, FREAKING OUT at the quilt. I have a similar one in progress 🙂
Next, I am flying you out in August for that tiny feet shot alone.
Finally… that first photo may work, but did you happen to get a clear profile shot of his face that I can take a peek at? Also need one for Cora if you got one of those during her shoot 🙂
