I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet boy and his mama a few weeks ago. I couldn’t believe that a baby this young was giving me such great eye contact with the camera! Maybe he’ll grow up to be a model – he is handsome enough. I always love solo shots, but the ones of him and his mama are my favorites!
You guys were awesome, A – so great to meet you. Enjoy!
I drove to meet this family wondering what you do if you have twins; how you survive the first few weeks at home with two brand new babies. Well, their parents showed me: you quickly figure out that you and your husband are a team and, if you are like these boys’ parents, you operate as a well-oiled machine after a few short days. Wow! They are amazing, Mama and Daddy D. Giving bottles, holding two babies at once, swaddle one, change the other one’s diaper, easy peasy. I couldn’t believe them, and on not that many hours of sleep.
The other thing I worried about was how I would tell them apart. They were kind enough to have babies that were not identical, although equally adorable. Baby N was a sweet little sleepy head, while baby L was the little rascal – I would think he was asleep, but as soon as I’d ever so gently lay him down, up he’d pop to see what was going on. Eventually they both fell asleep at the same time, but I worked for it. (Okay, so did both of their parents, too.)
D Family, you guys are adorable and amazing. I feel like we are old friends!
Last week, I had the pleasure of hosting the amazing Amber from for a newborn workshop. Amber’s “Little Posers” workshop was all about newborn photography. It was so cool to see Amber in action (and to finally get to meet her, we’ve “known” one another from an online forum for about seven years!) and to get to learn from one of the best at what she does.
Below are some of the images of our first model, a three day old (!) sweetheart who was an amazing subject with a lot of black hair and the most divine lips ever!
And a darling 11 day old boy both solo and with his beautiful mama.
I’ll be bringing some new tips and tricks to your newborn session thanks to the Little Posers workshop!
When I heard that this couple had had another baby and that they wanted me to photograph him, I was thrilled! I photographed his adorable big brother when I was just starting out, we did a session with him and his mama as a surprise gift for mommy. They were both so sweet and so much fun. And, they still are. There is so much love and joy in this family, you cannot help but smile when you watch them interact. They genuinely enjoy being with each other and it truly shows. Baby brother L is a lucky boy indeed to be joining this family. Big Brother N is already loving his new role, helping with the baby and zooming trucks around him happily.
D and K, it was my pleasure to get to spend some time with your family. I only wish that we’d been able to get baby L happy by himself so I could have documented his sweet baby peachiness. Congratulations to both of you on the birth of your second son! You are truly a blessed, lucky family.
This sweet little peanut just couldn’t wait to celebrate the holidays and ring in the new year with her parents. So, she decided to make her appearance a few weeks early. Her parents were thrilled to make her acquaintance and set about snuggling her right up! And, how could you not? She is just as sweet as can be. This little lady didn’t get her mom’s beautiful hair color, but it seems like she got her pretty blue eyes. And she did get gorgeous, dark hair that will look stunning with those blue eyes – which might be the same color as her cousin X, a regular on this blog. Mr. X baby’s mama and Ms. Sugar and Spice are brother and sister, and I’m sure that these cousins will be having a blast together in no time at all.
And, true to form, I left something behind (my cell phone) as I do at nearly every session I have, and Mama F was kind enough to chase me down with it. Plus, Daddy F carried in nearly all my gear since I couldn’t fit down their street in my car. (He says they have a special, small trash truck for their street. How cool is that?)
F Family, it was my pleasure to meet you all this morning. I hope you will enjoy your sneak peek and I can’t wait to show you the rest of the photos of your sugar girl.
