Brand, Brand NEW!!!! 5 days old...

People often ask what the best time is to photograph a newborn baby. Of course, I always tell them THE MINUTE YOU CAN!!! :) If possible, I encourage my clients with new babies to bring them in when they are mere days old. The babies are so soft and squishy and they are so easy to work with at this age! They are so nice and sleepy, and they photographs that come from these sessions are truly precious, as the little ones change so very fast.

Karen and her family have been to me many, many times, and it was with great joy that I photographed the newest addition to the family, Baby Brodyn. Many, many congratulations to you both, and thank you for letting me share in your celebration!

Baby Olivia

This little one was just a few days old when her parents brought her in for her first family photo. This session was a lovely gift from Mom's sister who called me ages ago to set it up for them. These moments don't last long, and they change so fast...it won't be long before Mom and Dad hardly remember what the brand-new baby stage looked like. Photos like these will be a precious reminder of that fleeting time!

Congratulations on your beautiful little girl! :)

Congratulations!

I photographed Rachel's maternity session a short while ago, and was thrilled to meet the newest member of the family a few days after her birth. I had to include the middle photo, as it is the biggest smile I have EVER seen on a week old baby in my LIFE. I could not believe that she was so happy already, and judging from how great she was at our session, Mom and Dad have a very content little doll in their care. :)

Thank you so much for bringing her to meet me, and for allowing me to share in your family memories! :)

Brand New!

Newborn babies are so sweet to photograph...they are literally tiny little blank slates who are nice and bendy! :) The earlier their mommies and daddies bring them in, the better! I photographed this little beauty about a year after I met her Mommy and Daddy for a large family portrait session. I was thrilled they remembered me when they started their own little family. Congrats on your beautiful, beautiful little doll! :)

Beautiful Newborn

This little angel was in last month for a few newborn photos. A photograph speaks a thousand words, and when they are this young and beautiful, it's even more beautiful. Ahhh.... :)

Welcome Baby Alex!

I am so happy to announce that my good friends, Natalie and Shane, have recently experienced the life altering occasion of the birth of their first child! :) They brought baby Alex to see me last week, and he was just a few days old. His belly button hadn't even fallen off yet!!!! Alex is one of those little babies that looks like he already knows what's going on. I think he must be an old soul.... ;)

Congrats friends! xo

Congratulations Melissa and Mike!

Melissa and Mike were in a month or so back for some maternity photos, and I wanted to post a few photos of their newborn baby boy, Dominic! (I hope I spelled that right!) Dominic was only 11 days old in these photos, but he was as good as gold, already posing for his first photo op! :)

Baby Addison ~ 13 Days

I had a little visitor last week....a very little visitor! Her Mommy and Daddy were in my studio in March to have their maternity portraits done, and we discussed then how nice it was to bring the newborn back for 'squishy' baby photos. Baby Addison was only 13 days old here, and she was such a little doll. Kevin and Ambers little beauty also holds the record for the most poops into her daddy's waiting hands....3. :) She had great aim, and luckily, Daddy was ready for her. Here are a few from her fantastic session last week. As you can see, she's a real natural already!
