 Just had to share one of my favorite photos from my recent newborn shoot.  This little one was such a sweetie, although he wasn’t too hip on sleeping!  But that is perfectly OK, I still got quite a few very precious shots.  Much more to come!!!!!!

 

Oh…newborns…..I just love every single thing about them -  their smell, their tiny fingers and toes, their sweet vulnerability and their absolute perfection.    I know some moms claim they love newborns, but don’t necessarily want to relive those days again.  Not me.  I would definitely give up some sleep and time to myself to be able to enjoy those newborn moments again.  

A few weeks ago a dear neighbor friend had her first child – a darling baby girl!   And, of course, if anyone in my vicinity has a baby, they can be sure I will be at their door, with my camera ready for newborn photos. 

I photographed J at one week.  She was such a good little girl (although what newborn isn’t?).  She slept most of the time, only cried a tiny bit and was quickly quieted with a feeding.  We had one spit up (caught on camera!) and a couple accidents!  But nothing one mom, one dad and one photographer can’t handle!

And I do have to say it again, I am SO sorry that I never thought to get newborn photos of my own 3 little girls.  Our little ones are only this tiny for such a short time!  I know how tired and overwhelmed a new mom is, but if you miss those moments, they will be gone before you know it!  I do all shoots on location, so I will travel to your home and work around you and your baby’s schedule.  No rush, no need to go the trouble of traveling to a studio – just stay home,  relax and enjoy the experience!!

Onto the photos!  Meet beautiful Miss J!

And with her sweet mom:

Thank you all so much!!!!

I just got back from a wonderful newborn session.   Oh my.  I can’t wait to sit down and start editing.  She was SO sweet and SO good, I could have definitely overstayed my welcome. 

I love newborns.  And every time I photograph one, I feel a bit sad that my love, appreciation and passion for photography didn’t happen until after my 3 little ones were born.   How I would have cherished these types of photos of my own little girls.  Sadly, this tiny newborn stages lasts only a few weeks!   It is gone in a blink of an eye.  Photos are the only way to capture these fleeting moments.

Anyway, one quick sneak peak!!!

Many more to come!!!

I am so excited to introduce you to this little sweetie-pie.   Meet Deacon!!!

 

Deacon is an absolute sweetie I am also happy to say is our newest nephew!  He was born in late December and is actually quite a little miracle.  His parents waited a long time for him to join their family, but I know he was definitely worth the wait!!!!!  

[Most of us] found out my SIL was housing this miracle on, none other than, Mother’s day!  I mean, how completely perfect is that???  And, after we all picked up our jaws off the floor,  and teased my BIL a bit  – sorry Bryan, we couldn’t help it!, we had a wonderful Mother’s day celebration.  And soon after their announcement, I made my own announcement “I will be over when he is about a week for newborn photos!”. 

I love newborns.  I love holding them, I love smelling them, I love looking at them, and I really love photographing them.  I could not wait to take Deacon’s photos. 

Deacon has been such a quiet and calm baby so far.  He was an absolute angel or my shoot.  Most of the time he was fast asleep.   I was able to move him in a variety of poses and hardly heard a peep out of him.   

About halfway through the session, he woke.  He was quiet and calm.  I snapped a bunch of photos of him looking at me (what are you doing lady?), and then we were able to get photos of him looking at his mommy and daddy.  Seriously, he could NOT have been more cooperative!  Oh, and we literally had one small accident – which, if you know anything about newborns - is pretty incredible!

So enough chit chat – let’s get to the photos!!!!!

Aunt Irene, please just ONE more minute!!

Tickling Daddy’s beard

Oh Mommy I love you SOOOO much!!

The new happy family-

Thank you all so much!!!!!

If you or anyone you know is expecting a baby and may be interested in newborn photos, please contact me! Newborn photos should, ideally, be taken when your baby is 6 – 10 days old. Just let me know when you due date is and we can pencil in a tentative shoot date. Once baby is here, we can firm up the date and the details.

Remember, your baby is only this tiny for a [what seems like] a split second. Capture those moments before they are gone. I do all shoots on-location. I will come to your home, find a nice corner, and set up my little studio!

Yesterday morning I had the amazing opportunity to get newborn photos of the our newest nephew!  Meet “D”!!!!!! 

He was so good, and so sweet (what newborn isn’t?) and I could have photographed him all day long. Most of our session, he was sound asleep. But he had a short time of relaxed wakefulness.

It was a perfect session and I can’t wait to get working on editing all of his amazing photos!!!
