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.
You might remember baby “C” as “Baby J2.0”. I did her maternity session a few months ago before we knew whether she was a he or a she. You’ll definitely remember her adorable older sister from that session. She was the one loving on her momma’s belly anxious to meet her new sibling. I got to spend the morning with them and had a great session. They are such a great family and I am so happy for them. I know “M” is going to be a great big sister, and well little sister “C” is just precious as you can see!
My first baby of 2012 – Happy New Year baby Edward! {Raleigh newborn photographer}
I got to snuggle on my first newborn of 2012 – little baby Edward. He was so tiny and sweet. Edward was actually born on his due date which is pretty rare! Mom and dad were beaming with pride and you can see how much little Edward is loved. He’s named for two very special people and he’s already living up to their namesakes. We kept things a bit more natural for this session just focusing on what’s important – capturing that newborn goodness. It felt good to be around babies again since I took the month of December off. I can’t thank Edward and his family enough for trusting me with their precious new bundle and allowing me the honor to capture his pictures. I know I say it too often, but I love what I do and am so thankful to all of you for letting me do what I love. Here’s your sneak peek mom and dad, I know there will be a lot of anxious people waiting to see them.
