Meet Baby R.  He’s a handsome little guy with a couple of cool parents.  They were SO much fun when they were viewing and choosing their images.  I think mom and dad were pleasantly surprised that we got so many wonderful images, as Baby R. wasn’t quite in the mood for pictures on the day I was there photographing.  What’s great is that one of the shots that we all fell in love with was an unplanned shot with this adorable squishy pouty face (the black and white one below).  We were originally trying for the peaceful sleeping shot in the same position, but each time we tried, he would have nothing of the sort, and immediately got pouty.  I love when I get an even more amazing image than the one I planned on.  Such a cute baby!!!!

It was such a pretty day when we photographed this little newborn, so we were able to do some shots inside and some outside.  The family was so appreciative and accommodating in their home–truly a sweet family.  I was so excited to show them the images that we got.  Also, her sister was such a good sport through the entire session.  We even got some shots of her alone, enjoying a flower.

It wasn’t that long ago that I did J’s maternity images when her little boy was in her tummy.  And she’s now just weeks away from having another newborn baby.  This time we did outdoor shots, and the colors were just lovely.  As usual, they were just great to work with.

I was just thinking about this shot today, as it’s one I’ve been meaning to show.  It’s one I took at Janie & Jack a few months ago, but I remember just loving the tender look dad was giving his baby.  And this newborn looks so comfy in dad’s arms.

Erin Bell: Can I just say how beautiful the second image is? Beautiful!

Overdue, this little guy just wanted to stay in his mommy’s tummy as long as he could.  Who could blame him, right?  Weighing in at over 10 lbs and measuring over 22 inches at birth, he’s a big boy!  He was such a delight, though, throughout our photo session.  He hardly fussed at all, and was quite cooperative.  Ahhh, I just love photographing newborn babies!!!!  By the way, this little guy is 7 days old in these pictures.  The younger the better for newborn portraits.

Fun Family with Twins

October 27, 2009

This is one of my favorite families to photograph.  Mom is such a sweetheart–always so friendly and cheerful.  Well her twins are now one, and I had the chance to photograph them with their family. It’s been since they were newborns since I last photographed them.  And let’s not forget about big sister.  She really loves her baby sister and brother.

Lina: Oh, those are absolutely great. Seems like everyone was having a great time!

Jennifer Boggett: Beautiful! I love the family photo - it looks so real and relaxed. Great work.

Tiona Fuller: This looks like it was a fun session! Such beautiful and spirited images!!

Angela Crutcher: These are so sweet! You did a fabulous job at capturing happiness and love in this family!

Ahhhh, the serenity of a rock garden and a sleeping baby.  What a match made in heaven.  This family was just so sweet the entire time I was there photographing baby C.  Our session took place at grandma and grandpa’s house, and the outdoor area could not have been prettier.  The little rock garden was just amazing, with so many yummy details.  What great gardening taste.  So here are a few pictures from this special newborn session.  There’s even one of big brother as I snuck off while mom was feeding baby.  He made it so much fun to photograph him.  I’m a little late putting up this blog entry, as I mentioned a little while ago to mom that I might do a blog post with images from our photo session.
