Meet sweet baby “C”. He is the cousin of a sweet baby boy I photographed earlier this year. I got to see them both at “C’s” session which was a great surprise. From the moment “C” arrived until I was done his shoot he slept so sound and perfectly for me. I couldn’t have asked for an easier session. We kept most of his session pretty simple and classic, but mom did mention that she wouldn’t mind one “crazy, or different shot”. So of course I couldn’t help but oblige! I’ve been wanting to do the Lorax shoot for quite some time and this was the perfect opportunity! If you missed that earlier post, you can see it here! Thanks for coming to visit me, it was great to meet you and see your family again!

Meet sweet baby John. He surprised his mom and dad by coming almost 2 weeks early. Now at almost 2 weeks old he was the perfect little model today. He was bright eyed and alert for almost an hour for me, but once we got him sleeping he slept hard. We wanted to keep his shoot simple so I just focused on all of his sweet perfection. I got to use my new 35mm 1.4L lens for this shoot and I am in love with it. It may not be coming off of my camera for a long time! Thanks for making the drive down from Wake Forest to see me today. I hope it was worth your trip =)
This first shot is my favorite from the session. Too cute!
Meet sweet baby “T”. Isn’t he absolutely perfect? I work with his Dad and was thrilled (and honored) when he asked if I would take their newborn pictures. Having known Dad for some time now, I knew little baby “T” was going to arrive in style – and he did not disappoint. Him and his big sister are going to be two of the best dressed kids around. I seem to have a curse where the babies of my friends don’t like to sleep for me. This little guy was no exception. He’d sleep, but only in my arms. As soon as I put him down he would stir and squeal at me. I wasn’t going to give in though. We worked through it and I just moved very slowly to get him into a few poses. In one picture below you’ll see where he woke up and gave me a look like “what are you doing lady”?. That was the only awake shot I got, and it makes me giggle every time I look it.
