newborn baby girl…

one of the worst things about getting behind in blogging is trying to figure out where to catch up at. should i start where i left off, or begin posting my spring sessions? i decided to start where i left off. it is great to be able to photograph both maternity and newborn sessions. once they are both done, i get to know the family well. plus the older sibling is always way less shy for the second visit. for this session mom purchased a very pretty crocheted hat from etsy, but it didn’t arrive in time. so we rescheduled for a couple of days later, and unfortunately the hat ended up being a bit too big! we did our best to make it work, but the baby was not so happy about it. in between comforting and feeding (which is very typical in newborn sessions) we were able to get some great shots!

how lucky was i to have an assistant this day?

baby boy…

after not blogging for an embarrassing amount of time, it’s kind of hard to decide what pictures to start with first. i photographed this baby boy at 4 weeks, and he was way more aware of his surroundings. he was happy for the entire session (unless we tried to take off his onesie!), and fell asleep at the end. i am lucky enough to be friends with his mama, so we get to see him often. my own son gets a bit jealous when i hold him!

extra special delivery..

a couple of months ago a family in our church adopted a baby, on top of having three children of their own. how amazing is that?! she is quite a beauty, and definitely modest (or perhaps just too chilly..) once we clothed her, she was content and happily went to sleep.

baby, toddler, pre-schooler…

One of the best parts of my job is having repeat clients and getting to see their kids grow up (see here!), it is truly an honor! I was especially excited to hear that this particular family had a new addition. Big sister and bother obviously adore their new sister. Photographing 3 children who are 3 and under is definitely an interesting time, but so much fun. And after seeing their backyard, I am not sure why all of our sessions weren’t there. Gosh, they are just so adorable.

[i love that she tried to get him to jump here, but he chose to slide down instead]

[i have to say, it makes me a little sad when mom and dad don't want atleast one photo with their babies, but i always try to atleast get in one shot :)]

newborns are just so beautiful!  they are definitely more time consuming to photograph, but the results are always worth it! so, so sweet!

This little guy was 12 days old.  He was born at 10lbs, completely natural, in the bath tub in their home (just like his big brother!).  Even more interesting is that his mother is already having him go to the bathroom on the toilet.  How amazing is that?  I can’t even get my son who is almost 2.5 to do that.

Remember the maternity session I had a few weeks ago? Well, this little guy is the result of that. His hair is great, I love it! For being just 3 weeks old, he was so alert. His eyes are wide open in every shot!
