Wyatt…

February 14, 2009 – 3:43 am

Today I had the chance to play with another squishy newborn…and this one was squishier than most!  Wyatt came into this world weighing 10 pounds, and his session is one I’ve been looking forward to ever since we heard his birth weight. How often do you get to play with a 10 pounder?

Wyatt is the first born of this sweet little family,and his parents are absolutely smitten with their little man.

A great thing about Wyatt’s session is that his grandparents were there.  It’s rare enough that I get to meet grandparents at sessions, but rarer still is the chance to photograph them with their precious new grandbaby.

And one thing that I noticed today is how much Wyatt looks like his grandfather:

And again…these sweet grandparents are just so in love with their Wyatt!

Welcome to the world, sweet Wyatt!  I look forward to watching you grow!

Newborn Noah…

January 12, 2009 – 3:09 pm

I had the great pleasure of meeting Noah on Friday and not only indoctrinating my new (sexy beast of a) camera, but what a great way to take a quick break from maternity leave? Newborns are my fave, fave, FAVORITE!  They have little personalities, even at this age.  I love getting to know them… their quirks, their expressions.  Figuring out what I need to do to get amazing photos of them for their parents is the challenge that thrills me and keeps every newborn session fresh and interesting.  As a mommy of a recent newborn myself (now three months old!), I know exactly how precious this teeny tiny stage is.

Noah wins the award for being the only newborn I’ve ever worked with that stayed awake THE ENTIRE TIME.  Okay, so he slept for about 5 minutes…but then I tried to curl him up on his tummy (which all newborns love, right? Not exactly…).  He’s not a tummy guy. He’s not big into curling up and resuming that in-utero position.

Nope, not Noah…he likes to S-T-R-E-T-C-H. And lay only on his side or back (thankyouverymuch), and watch everything with wide, interested eyes.  He has such a worried little old man expression at times, which is my favorite thing about newborns. They look so wise, don’t you think?

What’s that? Enough blab? Photos?

I think he was trying to tell me something…this was the last image of the day. And probably my favorite.

Sugar Baby…

October 23, 2008 – 4:08 pm

Sweet Colette came into the world last Monday, and on Wednesday was placed in our arms and became forever ours.  She is an absolute dream baby, both in spirit and temperament, and I had THE best time photographing my own little one.  Not unlike every other newborn I get to play with, she needed some persuasion to fall asleep. But once she was out, she let us do all sorts or crazy things to her…just take a look:

BIG HUGE THANKS to Ann of Ann Beck Photography for sending Coco this awesome little onesie.  It arrived *just* in time, and I think we’ll use at least one of these on her birth announcements.  It is so perfect!

(see? crazy.  our great dane Hannah is awesome with kids.  I think we’ll have to get this one BIG for our bedroom.)

And this, my friends, is why I look so harried and crazed these days.  If you see me around town or at school picking up the other two kids..just keep walking. We listed out all of the sessions that need to be edited in time for holiday cards and it’s over 30. The good news? I’m getting *really* good at editing pics with a baby over my shoulder.  That’s talent, people.

And you know what? I can’t imagine it any other way.  We are so blessed.

William…

October 20, 2008 – 11:32 pm

Mr. William is our newest baby planner.  Born last Friday, he was an absolute doll to play with today.  As my first session back after becoming a mommy of three, he and his brother were very kind to me ;)

I’m going to plead I Had a Long Day With a Long Night Ahead…and just post my favorite from today. I know William and Miguel’s parents understand. (besides, as fellow newborn parents, I have a sneaky suspicion that they’ll be up with me! ;) )

pssst! William! Thanks for missing me in the deluge from this morning!  I paid my dues yesterday.  Hope the DVD player survived ;)

Newborn Jacie…

August 30, 2008 – 5:56 pm

I was lucky enough to be there 11 days ago when Jacie first entered the world, and today had the chance to visit her at home and photograph her newborn photos.  Newborns are seriously my favorite age.  I love knowing their quirks, and have a few tricks up my sleeve that help guarantee a quick and easy newborn session (well, as quick and easy as newborn sessions can possibly go!).

Jacie’s big brother Jarret had THE BEST laugh. It seriously cracks me up everytime.

I don’t usually bring ‘props’ of my own to sessions, preferring instead to use blankets, hats, and general stuff from around the house.  But I bought this last week and have been DYING to see what it looks like, and I’m happy to say that our baby girl (coming in October!) will be the most stylin’ newborn EVER.  Can’t you just eat this hat up with a spoon? (Not to mention the sweet pumpkin wearing it?)
