I have another pretty newborn to share– and look at that head full of hair! She even has gorgeous long eyelashes to match her stunning head of dark hair. I’m on a roll with “good newborns” this week.. I’ve had two now that gave me some sleeping time and some awake time and both stayed pretty content throughout the entire session. I can’t ask for much more than that! It wasn’t long ago that I did maternity pictures for this couple, and I was so excited to meet their daughter. She didn’t disappoint- perfect in every way. Congrats again Mom and Dad!

When I arrived, this is what I saw.. bright eyed and hanging out in her Daddy’s lap:

I love the “before” and “after” comparison in this chair.. hard to believe there were just a few weeks between each image!

I have the best job. I just returned from a wonderful vacation to Vermont (thank you to everyone for your patience with scheduling, etc. while I was gone!), and I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect face for my first session after returning home. This sweet girl is just under two weeks old and she was a dream. She slept for a bit at the beginning of our session, and finished it off wide awake and content! You can’t ask for much more than that. Welcome to the world Baby M – you are just perfect!

I love tiny newborns in their cribs.. it makes a great scale image.

Look at that eye contact! She found her Mom, and she wasn’t going to take her eyes off of her!

It wasn’t too long ago that I took maternity pictures for this gorgeous mom. Baby Nora is just over a week old now, and she showed me a perfect newborn session this afternoon. Seriously, she has beautiful skin, she smiles in her sleep, she slept like an angel- letting me move her all around, and she’s 9+ pounds of squishy, newborn perfection. I was so excited to come home and see the images on the big screen.. I’m having a hard time deciding which ones to share, but I know her Mom and Dad are waiting to see.. Welcome to the world Nora!

I took a picture of her hand (you know, because I love those tiny details) and when I opened up the shot.. look at her little lips. She was sleeping, not crying at all.. dreaming perhaps? :)

I love these kids. It works out well because their mom is great about setting up regular sessions, so I get to see them frequently :) This session was a special session with special guests. Their grandparents are in town visiting, so I was able to take a few images of them with their adorable grandchildren. I even stopped on the way to my car to take a few shots of something other than the usual.. and wow, plants are so easy to photograph.. no running, hiding, or crying from that pretty thing ;)

Little monkey :)

I love that she is holding her little baby- such a sweet (gorgeous!) girl.

I had the pleasure of meeting these two beautiful girls this morning for a newborn session. Big sister is just adorable and little sister is a tiny five day old peanut. Big sister helped me go through my things while little sister ate, ate, and ate some more ;) She was a hungry girl with no time for photos! We did well though- our patience paid off. Aren’t they just perfect?

I love this one.. how sweet of her at the age of two.. to try to comfort her brand new sister.

I snapped this one of big sister while Mom was in the other room feeding the baby.. we were playing with her balloon..

I love her tiny, peely, newborn hands.

I’ve been waiting a few months to meet these adorable sisters, and I finally got to meet them this afternoon. They happen to live in my neighborhood, which worked out nicely :) We were able to shoot a bit at their house and then we headed to the neighborhood clubhouse for some outdoor shots. Big sister was amazingly patient for a three year old and little sister.. completely fearless! Aren’t they beautiful?!

This is Wyler, and he’s brand new. Isn’t he precious? His Mom was so sweet- she let me hold him for a bit and oh my goodness.. he really is cute enough to make you want another of your own! He wasn’t sure he wanted to sleep for me, but he nursed enough to change his mind and we were good to go ;) Welcome to the world sweet boy- it was so great to meet you and your family today!

Flaky newborn skin.. awww..

Happy First Birthday Baby A!! I just love this baby, and I can’t believe she’s already one! She had us laughing nearly the entire time I was at her house today. This was my fifth session with her (I’ll say it again, I can not believe she’s already one!), and her baby plan is now complete. It is amazing how fast that first year goes by. She was just as happy and laid back as she’s always been and we got lots of great shots! I had no idea how to pick for the blog– they are all just adorable.. so here are a few in a set of many. :) Enjoy!

Can you find the baby? I love how she still looks so tiny in her room.. even if she is a big one year old now..

Search back to find her “chair pictures” from her previous sessions.. she wasn’t as willing to sit still for this round ;) We got some of her sweet face, but I love this one of her hiding from us.

Happy Mother’s Day! This year, my little boys gave me a wonderful gift. They gave me a few minutes of time in a park at sunset while I had my camera! I love the sweet shot of them walking together through the field, it’s truly ‘picture perfect’.. but really, my favorite shot is the one of my littlest guy dangling around his brother’s neck while he tries so hard to give him ‘just one more kiss’ because that’s what Mommy asked him to do. Big brother was finished with the kisses.. it’s perfect- it is a picture that tells the story, shows their personalities, and it will look great on a canvas on my wall :) Thanks boys!

This is Cooper. Cooper’s Mom is very funny, as you can tell from Cooper’s face in the first picture! I love the way babies laugh at their parents :) Cooper is three months old now (search back a couple of months to find her birth and newborn pictures) and she could not be cuter. Three months can be a hard age for pictures.. not really curly or sleepy and not yet sitting up. However, I think it’s just as important to get three month pictures as it is any other time in a babies first year. It is the beginning of the “baby” faces, the end of the super tiny legs and feet, and the beginning of the adorable chubby cheeks and the amazed eyes as they are starting to take in the world. This is the time when they really start to develop a personality, and I can’t imagine missing it!

Look at the way she crosses her little legs- she was born crossing them like that and still does! We had to get a shot of this for Mom to remember by.. so girly!
