Gorgeous Noelle. I loved every minute of her session. She might possibly have the sweetest face & cutest back rolls!

I am sooo far behind on blogging! My poor neglected blog…

I have so many favorites to show of Cole and his big sis, Leah & so little time to make a blog post!  Cole was the easiest baby. At 7 days new, he was so sweet & sleepy. I think I saw his pretty eyes just once I loved my time with this family!

Just a quick peek at Brooks’ session. He was such a beautiful baby, all 10 lbs of him! Thank you so much Katrina & Keith for trusting me to capture your precious little guy!

Kara was 18 days new. She was the prettiest chunky little thing and all girl. She made us really work for it at first and didn’t quite want to go to sleep. But once she got her belly nice and full she was ready to model and slept through the whole session.  She’s a beauty Kerry, I so enjoyed her session

One of my new favorite images.

I’ll leave you with the sweetest smile. Precious.

Oh Bergen…what a beauty he was to photograph! When Heather brought this little guy in, we all just melted.  Just 13 days new, he had the prettiest little face. And I know, I know, he’s a boy…but I’m going to keep saying beautiful and pretty and sweet for as long as I can! Because the pictures will speak for themselves, he’s a gorgeous little guy. Heather, thank you so much for bringing little Bergen in!

Love his little smirk!

Sweet bits of Bergen…

This little man was such a good model. At just 8 days new he slept so great and I was able to get some wonderful shots of him! I’m pretty sure his little toe shot is a new favorite of mine. Enjoy this gorgeous babe

I’ve been wanting to take a photography workshop for sometime to continue my growth as a newborn photographer. So finally about a month ago, I sweet talked my ever supportive husband to let me go to a newborn workshop in New York. For over a year now, I’ve been blog stalking Summer Lyn Photography. I could look at her work allll dayyy loooong. ..::sigh::.. I’ve  connected to her work more than any other photographer. Her style is soft & warm and the love literally drips off the pages of her blog. We’ve been trying to get together since May and just last weekend I finally made the long trek up to New York.

Here are a couple things I learned from my drive up to see Summer.

• 5 hours of Mumford & Sons and Adele on repeat never gets old.
• Driving through New York City at 6pm is much worse than child birth.
• When your GPS tells you “You have arrived”, in the middle of a freeway. You know you’re screwed.
• Driving circles around Queens at 9 o’clock at night isn’t as fun as being on a merry-go-round. It’s actually much much worse.
• I may have gotten my mother’s fire red hair, but clearly did not get her sense of direction. : -D

Getting to Summer’s house on Saturday was so much easier. Thank goodness.  Summer is as funny, beautiful, & warm as she is on her blog posts. I instantly loved her even more. Her studio is amazing, the light is literally perfect, & her prop organization is to die for. We talked set-up, lighting, posing, post processing, & all things newborn photography. For the next 15 hours I was like a kid in a candy shop! I soaked everything up. And in between the beautiful babes I got to photograph, hanging out with her family was equally as fun. I probably should have paid extra for all the belly laughs & amazing food courtesy of her husband.

Summer, I know I’ve said it before, but you’re the best!! Thank you for pushing me and for encouraging me. Despite the 10 hour drive, I had the greatest time ever!

Here’s one shot I got along with a pull back shot showing Summer helping me out with the diffuser. Many more photos to come!!

with about 8 minutes, a chair, a great big open field, & two sweet babes?

These heart melting photos of my two girls. I love them. I’ve wanted some new photos of my girls who grow overnight it seems, but they aren’t really the easiest subjects. These photos are exactly them–Coco: patient, silly, & turning into such a big girl. Evie: giggly, curious, too busy to sit, & on the go!

I’ve listed our mini session information at the bottom of this post. Get in touch with me if you’re interested in a short & sweet session with a huge reward of lasting memories. More details to come soon!

Meet Charlotte. She has the most beautiful peaches & cream porcelain skin. And is the most content & happy baby I’ve ever met. She never cried and always had the sweetest  little grin on her face. I wanted to slip her in my pocket and take her home with me. Charlotte was a few weeks old for this session and was more awake & alert. We let her just hang out and take in her new world!

Another lovely Momma to be. She was radiant, glowing, beautiful! Thank you Miss C. for a great session.
