In the hustle and bustle of this busy season I have to admit that it’s refreshing to work with these little ones who have no real sense of urgency (unless they are hungry, of course). This beautiful baby girl spent the entire session in what appeared to be a very blissful sleep. Congratulations on the newest addition to your family you guys!
When I showed up to photograph baby “P” his mom let it be known that her son has no interest in being bare. She told tales of the yelps, hollers, and squeals he gives anytime she gets him ready for a bath. Evidently he is just one of those babies that prefers to be warm and toasty…can you blame him?! All I said was, “Never say never because you just never know!” Toward the end of the session I was feeling brave and confident that I could take on this lil’ babe…guess what:
I won. 
I can think of no better word to describe this little boy than content. When I arrived for his session he was sound asleep which gave me an opportunity to visit with his mom and hear the story of baby “N”. At one point in the conversation she pulled out some old family photos explaining that she had been looking through them to see if there was any resemblence to anyone from past generations. I found the photos so intriguing and was inspired to re-create the vintage look of her treasured heirlooms on one of the shots from her session (see image 5). Also, see if you can spot a little something poking through his bottom gum in image #1. My guess is that it won’t be long and baby “N” will have a new tooth!
What an honor it is when clients entrust me with designing and creating pieces to announce special events in their lives. This particular client wanted a custom birth announcement showcasing a few of the images from our newborn session and oh, the fun I had working on it!

This beautiful baby girl had me the second I laid eyes on her. Her mom handed her to me, she looked up at me with her gigantic blue eyes and gave me a huge, infectious smile…the rest, my friends, was history. I knew that she and I would be fast friends. At 2 months old I’d say she has pretty much mastered the art of modeling…she must take after her mommy.
And although she looked so pretty in pink we didn’t want daddy to feel left out…this one was for him!

I’ve fallen behind on blogging and for that I apologize! I am working frantically to catch up before I leave for my work trip to Las Vegas next week.
I coulen’t resist posting this one though! This little bundle of joy was blissfully unaware of the happenings around him. He slept (and snored) through most of the session…gotta’ love that! Congratulations to the “B” family on their newest addition.
Oh, how I love this little boy’s name…and the history behind it makes it even better. Mr. “H” (as I’ll call him) is the grandson of a champion ski jumper. When pregnant, his parents were visiting the U.S. Ski Jump Hall of Fame and through reading some history of the sport they stumbled across the name. They mulled it over for a while and came to the conclusion that it was, in fact, “the name”. Such a cool name for a cool kid!
So new and oh, so tired! Such a tiny little baby, but already full of personality. He yawned, smiled, snored…he was really working the camera. Ha! Congrats again on your newest addition!
