I have so many favorites from Addison’s session that I decided to post them all here. You will see how wonderful she did, and we got to try several different set ups.
And I know I had already posted the next one, but I like it so much that I couldn’t exclude it from this post:
I introduced sweet little Addison last week and I can’t resist posting a few more.
Her mom drove over 1 hour to get to the studio and when they arrived Addison was wide awake and ready to party. We swaddled her and waited for her to fall asleep and it was well worth the wait:
While she was drifting off, I got my macro lens and moved in for some close-ups:
She has the cutest little lips, don’t you think?
This has got to be my very favorite macro image- such an adorable detail!
Baby Andre was 7 days old last Wednesday when I went to his home. I started his session with my usual routine and tried some nakey shots.
I think this one is my favorite, just look at his little hands by his cheek, so cute!
Despite his young age, he soon let me know that he was not in the mood to be without clothes. As soon as I wrapped him up, he was much happier and content:
Another favorite of mine, he loved the mohair wraps:
I had to sneak some macro shots, I love the details of his beautiful eye lashes:
I love this profile image, especially in black and white since the light was gorgeous that day:
I loved capturing baby Andre’s first photos, it is always so special to be to a part of such an important time in the life of a family. New babies are just the sweetest! ‘H’, thank you for inviting me over, your baby boy is beautiful!

Meet Addison, who is 8 days old today.
When she arrived at the studio, she resisted going to sleep and her mom and I were laughing about her sneaky little ways. But once she fell asleep, Addison behaved like the true princess that she is. I loved her delicate features and dark hair, so adorable!
This is just a little sneak peek, more to come soon 
‘S’, thank you for bringing your little Addison to be photographed, it was my pleasure meeting you both!

Meet baby Andre, on his 7th day of life. I spent the morning with him and his mom today and this is just a sneak peek- more to come soon!
Thank you, ‘H’, for inviting me over- hope you enjoy this one!
I met baby Noah in his home on his 10th day of life. As always, I feel so blessed to meet a new baby and capture his newness. Newborn babies grow so quickly and there are so many new little things that ought to be photographed into memory. I recommend that newborn sessions take place when the baby is under 2 weeks old, ideally between days 4 and 8- younger babies are easier to pose and it becomes more special to try and get all those little details that are so adorable.
I loved Noah’s dark hair, with that little swirl right in the front:
He let me try one of my new knit hats. Not all babies like to wear hats, I can tell you that, but Noah didn’t mind it at all.
I love to see the wrinkles on his arm and the little foot peeking from under him:
This one has become my favorite from his session, just love it! And look at those lips!
This basket belongs to his Grandma and he absolutely loved being in it!
He was so relaxed and content.
Thank you, ‘S’, for inviting me over! I had so much fun meeting you and your little guy was just perfect!
Taking photos of a newborn baby is somewhat of a challenge- even when the conditions are ideal and all my tricks are used, the baby is always the one who runs the show, so to speak, and I never know beforehand how the session will turn out. I can only do my part and wait for the baby’s cues to let me know how much I can do. After all, I can’t bribe and reason with a little model who his under 10 days old.
Allen’s newborn session was just what every photographer hopes for and I can actually say I have the photos to prove it! His mom is now enjoying his gallery so I am ready to post my favorites from his session. So here is little Allen, 7 lbs at birth, on his 9th day of life:
I should add that the little blue/green earflap hat and the mohair wraps, the chocolate and the cream, were hand knit by me. They turned out to be the perfect accents and Allen loved the softness, he was so cozy and content.
Hope you enjoyed this large share!

This is baby Noah at 10 days of age.
I spent my morning with him and his mom yesterday- I love his serene look, the beautiful big eyes and smooth dark hair. More to come next week.
Thanks, S, for inviting me over. It was my pleasure photographing your sweet little guy!

1. the quality or state of being perfect; 2. flawlessness.
If you haven’t noticed by now, I love babies, I love to do newborn sessions. The sessions are usually long, and I’m usually sweating buckets by the end, I have a pile of laundry to do when I get home, but it’s all worth it. I have the best work- I get to meet new moms, spend time with their adorable babies and I end up with some beautiful images of newborns- everyone wins, don’t you think? Plus, I don’t think there is anything more perfect than a brand new baby.
Baby Allen was an excellent little model. I’m still processing his session (thanks, mom, for being patient with me!) but after I finished this image, I just had to come and post it. It has become one of my favorite newborn images. Enjoy and let me know what you think.
And come back tomorrow, I will have a sneak peek of another newborn!
