So I know I am a little biased, but is this not the cutest baby in the world? Meet my nephew Ryder York….


Isn’t he sweet? This little fella gave us all quite a scare with a four week early delivery, and then somehow managing to get the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck during birth. He was rushed away (without a first breath) and taken to the NICU. But he is quite a fighter. He made it, and although he is a little jaundiced, he is getting stronger each day and was finally able to come home with mom and dad.










I’m such a proud auntie. He’s a handsome baby and he is a little talker. He coos and makes sweet little noises when you talk to him and while he’s sleeping. Just seeing these images, my cup runneth over.

Sara, these shots are absolutely Priceless. He is so Precious. I love the last two with his Daddy. The suite cases are Wonderful.
Oh honey….He is TRULY adorable and the photos are simply the most beautiful photos I have ever seen(you JUST AMAZE ME)…Just think of the gorgeous memories you are creating every time you take a photo…So wish you were closer I would love you to take photos of my kids…Love Cathy xx
Breathtaking & Beautiful… what more could I possible say :-)
Oh Oh Oh, he is so gorgeous, brought a tear to my eye, he is so tiny – just makes you want to kiss them all over.
Too….precious for words. My daughter came 13 weeks early but here we are…Devon is now 26. My prayers will be with them as Ryder gains weight and strength. How can he not with all the love surrounding him. God Bless!!!
he truly just might be the cutest baby in the world! What is that fluffy white thing you’ve got him on? Is it a bath rug or one amazing blanket?
These have to be the most beautiful photographs of a newborn that I have ever seen….not only is your nephew a darling….but your arrangements and photography skills are incredible….thank you so very much for sharing…
Oh my he is a little doll! I absolutely love the suitcase photos – what a fabulous idea!
Karla
Oh Sara, What a gorgeous little boy!!! Your suitcase photos are INCREDIBLE!!!! I love these. Your sister will cherish these photos. I am half tempted to get pregnant for a fourth and final time to have you take the photos…tempted…not going to! I love you said “my cup runneth over”…my Grandma Jeanne always said that!
He’s such a beautiful little guy! I love the look on his face in those last pics with his daddy. (And please pass along how much I adore his name…so cute!)
What a cutie! He does look a little menacing in that one picture;you better watch your back… ;) I love the suitcase one.
Simply adorable!
Oh, my goodness, what a cutie pie!!!! You did an incredible job with your photos, once again, Sara!!!! Love the suitcase prop!
Isabel

Sara, these photographs are breathtaking. And you are not biased–he is beautiful.
Sharon
Oh Sara I think you might be right! He is too precious for words and I love each shot you captured…the use of the suitcase is genius. I am so glad to hear that he got through everything okay…can only imagine that scare. And how wonderful for him to have such a doting aunt ;) {oh and I love the little “fist” at the camera…lol!}
how right you are…he’s adorable.
and sooooo teeny tiny

My baby fever is at an all time high right now and these pics are not helping one bit;) You captured him beautifully! I would love to know how you processed the ones on the beanie. They are so soft and beautiful.

Your photos are just GORGEOUS! What a sweet little blessing your nephew is and you’ve caught the moment perfectly in these photos.
Absolutely precious!
he is darling! And your pictures are gorgeous as always. My niece just had a little girl a week ago. She was 6 weeks early. She is still in the NICU – probably for 4 or 5 more weeks. All is fine but she is on a feeding tube because she gets so tired trying to eat. She’s a cutie too! Congratulations to you – auntie!
Oh, the suitcase photos! And the beanie and wool photos! Wow, you are so talented. Congrats on your new nephew! Wendy xx

How beautiful! My three are now 22, 14 and 12 and it made me weep watching these lovely photographs. Thank you.
oh my gosh. I honestly don’t think this could get any cuter. Wow, you are amazingly talented and know just how to capture the personality. I’m in love with your site. I found you through the Spotted contest (I’m in the “creative” section….MADE is my blog).
Very impressive photography! I’ll be coming back!

Amazing photos, I want one more baby right away. Totally fantastic photos and the baby is lovely.

I’ll say it again: Your photography is without equal. You captured Ryder magnificently. Your sister is blessed to have you near. The suitcase was genius!
This very well may be ONE of the cutest babies alive! I may be a little biased over my little Maslow…
You took some absolutely wonderful images. I imagine you made your sister the happiest mommy alive when showing her these images. You are very talented and inspiring to all. Please, send me some of your energy so that I can get back on track with my needs of all things artistic.
What a gift you have – and a gorgeous nephew to boot. Doesn’t God make treasures? Jennifer
