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!

the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about,

and that was the beginning of fairies.”

- J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan

Isn’t this the most adorable little smile? This is baby Alex whom I introduced last week.  She was such a dream to work with and her session went so well that I had a really hard time deciding which images to show. So I’m showing a little more than usual- hope you will enjoy these as I much I do!

And my very favorite one:

Don’t forget to leave some comments for this little one.

This is little Claire, who is 9 days old today. I love meeting new little ones and we had a wonderful session this morning.

This is just a sneak peek for her mom, more to come next week.

And one in black and white:

Do you remember this little guy? Here are some more from his session. I loved this session, he behaved so well and let me try so many different things. How sweet is that little pout?

His Grandma made this gorgeous blanket for him, so special.

He loved to be wrapped up and snuggled.

This one has become one of my all time favorites, love his little hands.

I tried some dramatic light for this one, and love how it turned out.

Can’t decide if I like it better in color or in black and white.

At 5 weeks, he was still such a ‘curly’ little one.

He loved to have his hands by his face, so cute.

Love how peaceful and serene he looks in this one.

Thank you again for inviting me to photograph this little angel, enjoy your gallery.

Love the little piggies, so cute!

So sweet and perfect!

My new favorite!

I met this little one yesterday morning. I usually only photograph newborns who are under 8 days old and this little guy was over 5 weeks old- he behaved like an absolute angel though, and was a true joy to capture.

Sophocles was an Ancient Greek playwright from the 5th century BC. He was very famous for his writings of tragedies and history says he had sons, but not exactly how many.

And why am I sharing this, you wonder? I looked up the quote for this post and found it interesting that a man, born and dead so many centuries ago, was able to sum up so eloquently the stronghold a child has on a mother’s heart. From before birth, a new mother’s heart is never the same and with the birth of her new baby, so a new life of joys (and oftentimes sorrows) is born. And I must confess that I have been feeling a little sentimental- my 3 year old son is starting preschool and my ‘baby’ is almost 2 years old! Where has time gone!

Sienna’s mom placed her trust in me and let me work with her precious new daughter when I arrived there last Friday. I am grateful that she didn’t question my ways and creative set ups, it was a joy working with both of them.

Hope you have enjoyed meeting little Sienna! I’d love to know which image is your favorite .
