I was so thrilled to photograph this beautiful little girl at the ripe ol’ age of 4 days! She was so sleepy and happy doing whatever…it made for a VERY relaxed newborn session for all 😉 Mom was so on the ball and called me prior to going into the hospital and as soon as baby was born! Newborn photographers dream, I tell ya!! Why is under 10 days so important? Well, babies are still a little mixed up in their sleep, so they *usually* sleep more; they don’t mind all the moving around because they are still happy to curl up and sleep; and they haven’t hit that first growth spurt. It’s not essential to a newborn session by any means, but if you would like to try for the type of images I’m posting below, I would strongly recommend it!
I hope you enjoy these photographs as much as I LOVED taking them….look at those lips…she’s killin’ me! 🙂
Oh! And big brother was one of my portfolio building clients! He’s so big now and HILARIOUS!
Take care,

Can you believe this little bundle was born early AND she’s 4 days old!?! She was so amazingly calm and she slept and slept and slept 🙂 Here is just one image of her fabulous chubby cheeks…she looks like she’s saying, “Make.it.stop!” lol! Enjoy 🙂

Remember Big Mac? Well, thankfully for his parents, he didn’t come out shaped like a burger, but a rather beautiful little boy! I so enjoyed my session with him and even got some rather wonderful squishy newborn cuddles 🙂 *THIS* is why I enjoy newborn sessions….It’s all the cuddling!
Take care!

This cracked me up! We did some images with Mom and babe and then I was working with baby alone, but turned around to gales of laughter. Mom was goofing around with their 2 1/2 yr old and I caught a similar image of the older boy…It’s funny because I did his newborn photography session and it was deja vu since they look so much alike as babies! So a fitting sneak peak indeed!
Lots more to come!

…for Chrithmath is my two front teeth!
Yup, both teeth gone in a matter of days and I’m so relieved as she was taking immense pleasure in grossing me out twisting them around and around. In fact, I was teasing her about how she was talking and she even said, “Well, I guess it’s only fair since I bugged you so much with my teeth…Karma, you know!” Yup. 7. Too smart for her own good!
Now my son is trying to pull out his teeth because he wants to get money…poor boy!

PS October is pretty full now, but there are a couple of spots left on the 16th for mini sessions. If you’re at all interested in being photographed this fall, get your name in right away! And potential Maternity/Newborn Photography clients…stay tuned for a very cool promotion I’m working on! Details to be announced soon!
This summer I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable, fun and willing-to-do-it-all-couple’s maternity session. I knew it was going to be this was because during the consultation process I found out that the baby’s nickname was “Big Mac” due to their last name. The funny part was, Mom-to-be has never had a Big Mac before, but she wanted some images with said food. How fun was that!?
Here’s a few more of my fav’s from their session. Enjoy and I CANNOT wait to photograph their newborn session next month!
