Here’s a snapshot of a newborn/family shoot from last week. I like to work on specific baby poses for newborn sessions but sometimes there are unplanned moments that make the most intimate special portraits. The first one is just this. I love this image!

It was great seeing this family again. I photographed the eldest boy when he was a newborn. He’s now growing up into one supercute energetic guy. His little brother was not on for sleeping during this session. I guess there was too much going on to interest him. I think these two brothers are going to form quite a partnership!

This lovely six week old boy was a visitor to my studio last week. Although we couldn’t focus on the typical newborn shots ( first two weeks of life) it was still a great chance to capture some memories. He was awake for the whole session and showed himself to be a very mellow little guy!

When booking baby portrait sessions I always encourage parents to be in some of the portraits even if they were not planning to. Mom and Dad to this lovely girl wanted to have baby portraits taken.  However I had to ask them to be in more of the portraits than planned as that was when their daughter was the happiest. It worked out well.

Here’s a preview of a very adorable boy who came to my studio recently. The proof gallery for Mom is on it’s way.

It was a pleasure taking this family’s portraits. The 6 month old daughter did herself proud. She was quite the star. I used a rich red brocade as a backdrop for a few portraits. It made for a nice seasonal feel to the images. The little girl was so good we even popped her into one of my new tutus for the last shots of the session. I’m glad we did!
