Blogged my session with the winner from the @TCE_Moms open house. Cuties. :) http://bit.ly/bmZluA 2010-06-10
I met Brynlee’s mom at an expo last year and we talked about doing photos of their new baby then…a Great Dane puppy. Because of some puppy health issues, that never quite panned out but when they contacted me this year, they had a new baby to photograph. A people baby! Isn’t she cute?
I’ve been anxious to post photos from this session because I love them! I was contacted by Grandma to set up this session. She had photos taken of her with each of her children when they were babies and wanted her daughter to have photos with her new grandson, too. Grandson, Kellen, was a little over three weeks during this shoot and what a difference a week or two can make! He was pretty wide awake for most of the session. Still, we were able to make some gorgeous images of him with his model-like mom.
Jen: Absolutely stunning. The third one takes my breath away.
Little miss Sophie Isabelle (I love that name!) was six days old when I photographed her and she was PERFECT. The easiest newborn session I’ve had in a long time, she was asleep when I got there and barely cracked her eyes the entire time. And on top of that, she has a gorgeous head of hair. I loved it. What a fun session. I can’t wait to edit the rest of these.
johnwaire | photo: ...so sweet. great job mk!
Meredith: These are beautiful!
LK: What beautiful photos - and a beautiful model!
I meant to knit during the Olympic Opening Ceremonies but I edited beebees instead. :)
LK: Wow! What else can I say? Each one brings a new "Awwwwwwww!"
stalker: they're all adorable. i like the poses/props in 2 and 5 the best.
Amy: knit me an amniotic sack please?! Love them though, you are super duper talented lady. They make my ovaries pop a little though.
Rachel Clare: These are so gorgeous. Makes me want another one, and mine is only 3-months old!!
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.
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.
I had the opportunity to spend a few days in San Diego, learning from some first-class newborn photographers (baby folding class, I’ve been calling it). I’m so, so excited to come back and get to work on some Minneapolis newborns. Below are just a few of the photos I took while in San Diego.
Jennifer Chaney: Ohhh you're so lucky! That last one is a pose I need to learn b/c I can't do it to save my life. Wish I had been along side you. Beautiful work. Just love it!
Jen: Jenn...you & me both! I was just trying that post this morning! Ugh! These are stunning images. Would love to hear your thoughts on the WS! I just gotta get there!
LK: Good folding! They look so squeezable!!
Rachel Clare: oh my good heavens. these are divine!
LK: Irresistible!!! Baby and photos, especially the first one!
Candy: ohmygoodness! She is just PRECIOUS! Nice work Mandy! You are getting a reputation for being quite talented with these little ones!! ;-)
tara k: a people baby! you crack me up, girl. :) and holy cats, these are some kinda gorgeous shots. the eyelash one just blows me away. loveliness, my friend!
Ken Corbin: She looks like her grand father a beautiful Irish child...
Grandma Lori Corbin: Mandy, love the first one because that is truly Brynlee, she loves having her little hands around her face! One of the beautiful things about her (there are many!) are her eyes! I love how you captured her long eyelashes! Black and white photos are one of my favorites too, because you really "see" the subject without the colors interfering! These pictures are perfect...just like our sweet little Brynlee! Her Mommy and Daddy did good!!! Can't wait to see more!
christy: SO love these! Super scrumptious newborn. Beautiful work Mandy :)
Mary: Best baby burrito maker EVER! Love these.
JoAnne: beautiful
