I just love newborn sessions! The average person doesn’t get to be up close and personal with a brand new baby as much as I do. It really is a job perk! Newborns are just so precious and so tiny! I love being able to hold them, smell them, inspect their little hands fingers and toes. This little guy was beyond adorable! His parents brought him so many cute hats! I just love the family pics from this session. Love!!
I love doing newborn sessions at my clients’ houses. The setting for the photos is the place you brought your baby when it was time to come home from the hospital. Nothing could be better! This little guy is the son of a firefighter. Dad had all his gear out so we could incorporate it into the session and it worked perfectly for the photos! Too bad the newborn stage goes by so fast because this baby could have had a successful career in newborn modeling! He was more than happy to sleep in Daddy’s helmet, on his jacket, and where ever else we put him! Not only were Mom and Dad on hand for the session, but we also had a new proud big brother who got to miss a little bit of school for the photos. Bonus for him!
I just love my job! It gives me the opportunity to meet so many new people and families. It also puts me in contact with little tiny babies! It isn’t everyday that you get to hold a newborn. Thankfully I get to hang out with my fair share of them otherwise I might have seven children instead of just two. This little girl was about three weeks old when we did her portrait session. She was so sweet and patient with me and her mom putting her in baskets, boxes, a wagon, dressing her up as a bunny, sticking bows on her head… She didn’t make a peep and happily went along with the craziness that we put her through. The result is some really adorable pictures she’ll have for a lifetime.
Two years ago I met this beautiful family when their second daughter was born. Recently I received an email from Mom saying that they were having a third child. This time it’s was going to be a little boy! Finally Dad has another man in the house! I showed up and found his two sisters dressed to the nines in their adorable dresses. We took some photos outside while Mommy got the little guy all settled. Tony was such a perfect little model! He rocked his little giraffe outfit!
Congrats to this wonderful family!
There is nothing that means more to me than a loyal client and you can’t get more loyal than this family. Think of a milestone in any family and I’ve been there to capture it for these guys. Engagement, Marriage, Pregnancy, First Baby, Holidays, Family Portraits, First Birthday… Yup I’ve done all those sessions for them. They’ve stuck with me as their family photographer. I feel the utmost gratitude to them for this. It is truly an honor. Yesterday I was called in again to take photos of their newest baby, Evie! When Mommy texted me a couple of months ago saying that she was getting her girl I was beyond excited!! I knew there were high hopes for a baby girl this time and that dream came true! Big brother, Caleb, has to share the spotlight now. He has gotten a pretty big spotlight thus far so there is enough to go around. This is a wonderful family with so much love! A big congrats to Mike and Meredith!!!
