It is always such an honor when a previous client comes back to you to capture their newest additions newborn photos. I first met this family about two years ago when I took their now oldest daughter’s newborn and 1 year photos. They added another beautiful baby girl to their family now and I was thrilled to be able to capture her newborn photos. Baby Reagan is a beautiful baby just like her older sister, and mother. This family definitely has some good genes! Sibling photos can be hard at this age so I was extremely excited when we were able to capture this one. Not only is big sister smiling, but baby sister is looking right up at the camera. While I love sleepy baby shots, I also love it when they give some eye contact! We kept the rest of this session pretty simple just capturing the natural beauty and features of baby Reagan. I’m excited to see her for her one year session and can’t wait to see how much she has changed!
Meet Baby Max. What a great little guy he was! Mom and Dad wanted to have some fun with his session so brought along a few props. They brought a tiny pair of leather chaps for him, along with some Calvin and Hobbs items from his nursery. This is the second baby that I have had that has a Calvin and Hobbs themed nursery – and I love it! Hopefully Max will love it as he grows up as well. Lucky for me Max was pretty sleepy for his session and allowed me to incorporate all the props. He even gave me a few smiles and lots of funny faces along the way. Towards the end of his session he decided he better keep an eye on me so was quite alert and making eye contact with me. I got a bunch of awake shots of him making silly faces at me.
Baby Bodie and his family came to visit me last fall. As soon as I met them I could instantly see the love they had for this baby boy. Every time they looked at him the love was overflowing. They were not planning on taking family pictures but I encouraged them to get at least one at the end of their session. I am so glad I did because just look at those smiles. They all will look back on this picture in the years to come and remember just how happy they were at that moment in time.
Baby Bodie was such a sweet little thing. He was super sleepy for his session and let me do all kinds of poses with him. He looked absolutely adorable in one of my little Teddy hats. I think my favorite image from the session was the black and white of him in his Daddy’s hands. He just looks so tiny.
I never finished blogging my fall mini sessions. I have been photographing this family for 3 years now. I took their oldest daughter’s newborn and 6 month photos, and now also their youngest daughter’s as well. We used this session to capture milestones for both girls, as well as get some updated family photos for Christmas card season. The lighting that morning was gorgeous, but the it was rather cool. Baby sister was not feeling it and pretty much had a meltdown towards the end of her session when we were trying to recreate some photos we took years ago with her older sister. Even with the cold and tears it was great to see this family again.
I truly am blessed with just how beautiful my clients are. Baby Nolan was no exception. He was the perfect combination of his parents good looks. He was a tiny little thing with the cutest little button nose and perfect lips. He slept like a dream for his session just letting me do my thing, looking good in every pose. I had such a hard time narrowing down his gallery as I loved them all. I think one of my favorites is a collage of his features. I love capturing each baby’s tiny bits and pieces. They are just so sweet and little. Having photos of them helps to remember just how tiny they once were.
