Meet Alessa

We had such an awesome session with Alessa -- her parents brought her in at one week old and she slept through the first hour!! This combination enabled us to get some of those "Miracle images". It is hard to get out within those first few days, but babies are only truly newborn for a short time. Within the first ten days they stop sleeping so soundly and so much, they discover their legs and are not curled up anymore.

The session went so well and we took a LOT of photographs! What an adorable baby girl. These parents are definitely blessed with this little angel! You can view more images from her session here on our website.

I love when they sleep and you can mold them like playdough. Mom brought this hat (from Etsy) in with her for the session. Can you get much cuter?

Her birth announcements...

 I love the angel wings!

You might see that one on display in our Studio, one of my favorites.

 This Christmas hat was big enough to allow us to cover her from head to tush...

We post-process this in photoshop to make it look this way, she was an inch away from a bean bag and safe at all times 

Special Delivery...and she is looking right at us.

Angelic baby!

Mom and Dad ordered the middle photograph as an 16x20 for their wall. I love the little feet!

 The bottom one is the result of the fast lens and wide open settings that were used. Cute little toes. Tiny.

Samantha 5 days old!

We photographed Samantha when she was in Mom's belly, well here she is! Adorable! Welcome to the world little one...

You can view more images from Samantha's session here on our website.

Samantha in Daddy's arms

Such a good baby!

and because she was only five days old we were able to get in some of those awesome "miracle shots"

I was so excited to use the column! So classic!

Wedding rings on the toes...they will look back some day and say

"Was she really THAT little?"

How adorable!

Again, because she was so young she slept most of the time, therefore we were able to mold her and get these adorable shots of her sleeping on her hands...



The newest sling. I ordered red for something different and wasn't even thinking about Christmas!

You can see her tiny little foot pressing inside the sling



The sling is really an inch from the beanbag, but we edit out the beanbag and add the height in post-processing.



This column shot is only possible with a soundly sleeping baby (and even as usual we we have spotters on both sides for safety). I love it!

Mom and baby!

Her mother brought this cute frilly dress in with her. We typically photograph newborns in the buff, but finishing up this session with this dress was just icing on the cake...

It was touching to see Dad with his new little girl, so gentle and in love with this precious little girl. And Mom was just serene, she seemed to me in awe of this little one so dependent upon them. A miracle of life!

Sometimes, said Pooh, the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.

Meet little Cameron and her Mom

look at this precious little thing...



Isn't Cameron just delightful...



Her mother actually brought ina cast of her belly -- way cool!



As usual I cannot decide if I like the color or B&W better...



OK, the B&W&C does it for me! Wow!

I just love this one...you can see how much she loves this little one...amazing bond!

Meet Sweet William

I had the honor of photographing this absolutely adorable baby -- meet William!

I just love this next set of three images of Dad with William!

I processed them with my "hot fudge" formula...
