Meet Connor! He is the son of a pilot and flight attendant. He is a baby that was waited for and he is a baby that is VERY loved. He has the sweetest grandma and the cutest (but a little stressed out) cat. Connor is such a well behaved happy thing, too. Oh and hungry, but aren’t all newborns? He didn’t cry much, but is certainly a mama’s boy and when she would pass him off, he would protest a little. I am privileged to have met him and photograph him not only because he is super sweet, but also because he is my sister’s new nephew. I can’t wait to see him again at family functions and see how much he has changed. Don’t forget to watch the little movie that I made from the day. A short film is included in all newborn sessions. 🙂

This handsome little guy is Grayson. He was in this belly just a couple of weeks before I got to meet him. For this newborn session, we did two shoots. The first shoot went very well, but he was VERY hungry. He only wanted to eat and we couldn’t get the perfect sleeping picture. I wanted to come back and try again a couple days later and I am so glad I did. He was having the happiest dreams and I was able to capture some big smiles. I get to document his first year and I couldn’t be more excited. By the next shoot, I am hoping to get some awake smiles. I will be documenting his baptism, and I don’t think most babies smile about those, but I will certainly try to get a smile out of him. His parents are so great and it was such a joy to see them fall into the roles of mom and dad so well. Before Grayson, they were just the parents of two very adorable boxer dogs. I had to include a shot of them. They weren’t sure about me, and I don’t blame them. They have a precious baby to protect. I hope some of our future shoots will include them, how cute will that be? Stay tuned for next month’s 3 month old shoot/baptism. So excited!
I have started filming little videos at each session (so far just the two) and I plan to take more video up until his last session. I am quite the amateur, but I fully intend on including a short film in the baby’s first year packages to give at the end of the year. I hope that by the end of Grayson’s first year, I will be a much better filmmaker. If I get good enough, I will include it in some other packages too.  The video is at the bottom of this post and please feel free to leave a comment with your opinion and/or if you have any suggestions. Thank you!!! 🙂

This little baby girl has the BEST hair! I just couldn’t get enough of it. She is so sweet and so cute. I am very happy that I got to meet her and her awesome parents. This shoot was great because it was a little of everything. A newborn session, family session, and a tiny bit of documentary. Their dog is a recent rescue and is the sweetest thing. So gentle and loving. Â There was limited light in the house and it was a rainy day, but we got some great window light and then when the rain stopped we went to an outdoor location for some family shots.

This little darling was just 11 days old here. She was so sleepy and content during this whole session. You might remember mama’s maternity session (and family session) here .  Her older brother was not at all interested in being in the photos this time around, but that was perfectly fine. He adores her and it shows in a couple of the images that I have shared below.  Apparently baby E came into this world with her hand by her face. She clearly feels most comfortable that way as you will see in the images where she was swaddled. She gave us a huge happy dream smile while in Mama’s arms and a content sleepy smile while on Dada’s lap. Such sweetness all around! I love this family!
But throwing a pillow is!!! 🙂

Meet baby Olivia. Such a GOOD baby and SO advanced! 3 weeks premature and you would never guess it. She was alert and SMILING! She was very hungry and there were lots of feedings, but never any real crying. She is so calm and overall happy. Such a great new family and I feel so honored that they chose me to document this time in their lives. You can check out their maternity photos here.
