Baby O Newborn Session

First newborn of the new year has me encouraging women to get pregnant. After not having a newborn shoot for about 3 weeks I felt like I might start loosing my touch, however Baby O was a dream from the moment he arrived to the moment he left. The home studio was a bit chilly do to the continuous very cold weather outside so we kept the space heater on him the whole time and he loved it! While Mama, Papa, & I were all burning up O slept like a rock and allowed me to change his fur, hat, and poses multiple times in a short span. This little dude even smiled for me in his very first photo and then again for the third! O didn't fight me once with his fingers or hand placement and even grabbed a hold of his foot all by himself! I could literally shoot newborns everyday if they were all as easy going as O.

His Mama & Papa chose a baseball theme which was great because we literally have a collection of baseball cards and autographed baseballs but I spent 3 days trying to find the glove we had to no avail. (Thankfully the next day one of my awesome friends found one for me and brought it over!) O rocked every color and every set and you couldn't even tell that Mama K had just had a baby, I was so jealous! I had actually shot Mama K when she was a senior in High School and she hasn't changed a bit! She's still just as sweet and beautiful as ever and she made a great choice in companionship with Papa N, who was a very hands on dad. He helped just as much as mom during our shoot and even laughed at all my jokes, which is always a plus for me!

I'm still having a hard time not posting more photos to O's blog and might come back and add a few more, his handsome face is already making its way into my portfolio and updated packet!

Baby C Newborn Session

This is the time of year where we know what everyone was doing during the winter! I’ve had so many beautiful babies in my studio over the last few month but Baby C takes the cake for being the calmest and sleepiest baby yet! She was probably only awake for 20% of our shoot & slept through being wrapped, unwrapped, posed (unposed), & lots of itchy head bands!

This baby was also extra special to me because her mother was one of my lovely models! I’ve worked with Luisa on mulitlpe occasions, mostly though in my advertisements for the amazing Nikolette Bags (which I use mine ALL the time). We tried our hardest to do a maternity session but Baby C came before that happened, so a newborn shoot was defiantly in order! I spent more time than I would like to admit picking out fabric and making head bands for her session.

Despite the miserable heat I somehow managed to convenience Mama L & Papa R to come outside (In increments) to do photos during the golden hour. The two were more than willing despite the harsh conditions to spend any given moment with their sweet little baby. Luisa was simply stunning throughout our session and despite being a new mommy somehow managed to be a fashionista and jump right back into model mode! Rey also brought his A game and looked so handsome for all his photos! Everything he did came so naturally and he was just so genuinely in love with both his ladies that it was hard to stop taking photos!

Our session was cut short due to the heat & we immediately rescheduled for the following day (or something like that), which made me so incredibly excited to get to work with this couple in a new environment! I was even more excited we’d be able to do a whole new wardrobe & that would give me the opportunity to share that many more photos! Baby C was once again on her best behavior but this time she was wide awake for our session!

Isn’t this chick a knock out?!?!?! 

Though I spend the majority of my sessions directing people & making sure they feel comfortable in front of the camera it’s always such a relief to have a couple that is so comfortable with one another you can hardly tell that they might have felt awkward or uneasy about the process. Before our session I went to Luisa & Rey’s church with them during service to do photos of Baby C’s announcement & I instantly fell in love with this couple. You could tell just how much they loved each other by sitting next to them for an hour. No matter how tired they might have been or how hot it was they still somehow found a way to unspokenly say I love you. I can’t wait to update my portfolio with this adorable family & to see this amazing couple & little lady again!!!
