Nash wins the prize... {Newborn photo session}

Nash is just a few days old, but already he has proven himself to be an overachiever. In the seven years I have been photographing babies, never have I had a subject, ahem, "eliminate" so many bodily fluids in such great quantities as he did. His mommy laughed so hard she almost ripped out her staples!

Color me lucky...

Sometimes, when I am working with a perfectly gorgeous little one like Miss Audrey here, I have to stop and wonder how I got so lucky. Ten years ago, back when I was a newspaper reporter, I was hanging out at crime scenes and the best photos I got to take were at perp walks. And now, just look at what I get to see through my camera's lens ... perfection.

Big little guy. (three-week-old newborn photo session)

I try to get babies in the studio when they are under two weeks old and still a little woozy from the transition into the world, but the scheduling doesn't always work out. Cute little James here was three weeks old and totally wide-eyed the entire time he was at the studio. He weighed over tens pound at birth, so he came into the world looking like a three-month-old anyway! He is one lucky little guy to be joining this wonderful family.

brand new baby boy ...

If this little guy doesn't give you "baby fever," nothing will!

On a side note, my calendar for the fall is starting to fill up with people wanting holiday shoots, so if you've been meaning to book a session for this year, now is the time! A note about Peak Season pricing: for sessions booked after Oct. 15 for 2009, only Time and Talent digital sessions will be available. No standard sessions will be available for photo shoots booked after Oct. 15 for 2009.

Bright eyes {Newborn Photo Session}

Meet Miss Shannan...she made the best eye contact (and really didn't want to sleep for us!).

I've got LOTS to blog over the next few days...stay tuned!

Nine months

Here is one little sweetie who visited me again a few days ago. Doesn't she have the most gorgeous eyes?
(Apologies for being soooo behind on my blog! I'll do my best to keep up!)

Twinkle in his eye {newborn photo session}

I'm headed out of town for the next few days but wanted to slip this in while I'm away from the studio...
Meet Nathan, ten days old. This baby already has a mischievous look about him...just look at that twinkle in his eye!

Noah, Three Months Old {baby photo session}

Three-month-olds are tough customers! They're not sleepy like newborns; they don't have the stamina of six-month-olds; and they have arms and legs that "windmill" non-stop. Noah was such a sweetie, but like all babies his age, a challenge to photograph. We kept playing this dirty trick on him with his paci --- we'd let him suck just long enough to calm him down and then - pluck!- out it came. Poor little guy was so tired and all he wanted to do was sleep without us bugging him!

She loves her baby so ... {newborn photo session}

There is a shot all parents have in mind when they have an older child and a new baby. It's a sweet shot of the older child loving and cuddling the new infant. Unfortunately, the older sibling, so newly ousted from the spotlight, is usually not on board with this idea. Here we have the exception. Big sister Gabriella could not get enough of "her baby," and it made my heart glad as I witnessed it through my lens.

P.S.- I'm off for a few days for the July 4th holiday. Happy Independence Day, everyone!
