Blogged my session with the winner from the @TCE_Moms open house. Cuties. :) http://bit.ly/bmZluA 2010-06-10
Ready for another cutie?
The newborns in all of these posts are less than two weeks old, the ideal time to for them to be photographed. Don’t wait until your little one is born to set up a newborn session; call ahead and we’ll get you a tentative date on the schedule around your due date and be flexible from there.
Sweet dreams. :)
This session was actually a gift from Gage’s Aunt who contacted me a few months ago to ask if she could buy a gift certificate for her sister. What an awesome gift! (Okay, I may be a bit biased, but still.) Here they are together.
Gage was a sleepy little guy, already sleeping when I got to the session and stayed that way for most of it. That makes my job easy!
Now then, I love all these newborns I’ve been doing lately but it’s time for someone to have a girl, okay? :)
Jeannette: These are amazing!
Jennifer Chaney: ohhhh girl, your newborns are really lovely! The close up is just perfect!
Maria Hays: Look at those perfect little lips! Beautiful.
LK: Isn't he squishable!
This little fella was way too intrigued by our session and life in general to want to sleep much while I was there. I got to see lots of his open blue eyes.
I got to see lots of these, too, but he did a pretty good job of fighting off a sound sleep. (Doesn’t this photo just make you want to yawn, too?)
But for the few minutes he did fall asleep, I was ready. :)
Newborn sessions are fun regardless of what they’re doing because they’re just also so CUTE (okay, dirty diapers notsomuch but the rest)!
Kellie: HOLY cuteness!
Scott Bolster: Beautiful!
tara k: mandy, he is absolutely scrumptious! especially adore the yawn and sweet lips close-up. wonderful shots!
Kathi C: Beautiful little babe! Love all the moments you've captured and I'm a sucker for super close-ups --- YUM!
Shuva Rahim: Beautiful macro-ness on these shots!
Ava Hill Photography: These are so precious!
Jacko: Great pic of you and the baby. I hope you realize he was trying to milk your nose (Seriously). My son Samuel was a big nose sucker if you didn't watch it.
Rachel Clare: Oh heavens. That 2nd image is unreal. How beautiful is this child?!
Jen is a photographer friend of mine who recently gave birth to this darling little boy. She brought him and her mini-assistant Princess Deliah over yesterday so that we could both get some shots of him and I could benefit from her professional Mommy experience. It was so much fun and definitely easier with a baby handler – you may see her at my future newborn sessions!
Baby burrito!
Kellie: Really, really, REALLY cute!
Nick Dawson: The wooden bowl shot is unique! Love that idea, nicely done
Orange Ruffy: I love the close ups. I wish the pictures had scratch and sniff because I know he still has new baby smell.
cassie: I Love these, they are all beautiful, but the third one is priceless!
misty: Love the close ups!! Very nice!
LaurieK: So sweet and so peaceful! I just love them!
Rachel: Oh my good heavens. The lips picture KILLS me! These are gorgeous. Way to rock the baby!
Kathryn Pierce: These are all just gorgeous. I love the closeups, but the last one is just priceless.
Someone has been neglecting the blog a bit! It’s not entirely because I’m spending all my time with my beautiful new iPhone but I can’t say that I’m not already loving it. :) Okay, I’ve actually been really busy taking photos, preparing print orders and working on a few fun, upcoming projects.
Last weekend, Julie came over to my home studio so we could do some maternity photos. She arrived with a bagful of wonderful wardrobe and accessory options so we did a little bit of inside and a little bit of out.
Her husband came with her and we grabbed a few photos of him too before he did some serious studies on the comfort factor of my new hammock.
I know the sex and name of the baby-to-be but I’m not sure if the J family is sharing that publicly yet so I’ll just say that it’s a super cute name. Thanks for coming over guys and congrats on your new addition!
LBK: These are great, and what a cute new mom!!
L1: Just wonderful...as usual. I was almost freaking out when I saw the title was "expecting" but then I figured it was more belly pics. ;)
Jennifer: Love the belly bump I think my favorite is the pink scarf that's so original and fun! She looks amazing and so happy!
jenniferchaney: These are great! I love her eyes and her hair color...
stalker: do you drug these kids to get them to sit so still? and i like the little cute puckered lips this babeh has.
mk: Yes, with animal tranquilizers. But we don't talk about that.
tara k: breathtaking, my friend. you amaze me!
mk: My mom isn't sure it's okay to joke about animal tranquilizers. So, just for the record, that was a joke! The babies are 100% safe at all times and just sleepy. That's why it's good to set up a session within the first two weeks, when they're sleepier and curlier.
Katie Williams: gorgeous - love the tree stump one!!
Mary: I want to kiss that little one:) so cute, I have never seen a baby sleep in a log but now I wonder why.....Adorable!
Amy: The tree stump and use of grass gives me hope that you are getting closer to using cabbage leaves.
sarah: truly truly loving these. lol @ animal tranquilizers! gorgeous shots.
