Look what I was busy doing yesterday! I am so happy to have my recent and upcoming newborn sessions! This little guy is a little older, at 7 weeks, than I usually like to book for a newborn session but he was so good! The sweet little dumpling tried to fight off the sleep at first but thanks to a dedicated mommy keeping him awake all morning, he finally decided he had had enough and he might as well give into it;) Once he did, we grabbed as many sleepy shots as we could. He even let me put him in my tall basket with his head and leg hanging out! What a good boy;)

He is a lucky baby to have such a wonderful big brother too. What a doll! Loved spending time with him. He wanted me to hang around and watch some tv when we finished up! I just love that. Makes me so happy to make new little friends;)

Mom, have 25 unique friends or family members post a comment here (along with their name) and you will receive a 5×7 portrait of your choice on me. Thank you so much! Looking forward to seeing you and your family again.

Welcome to the world, sweet little man C! He was 10 days old and so precious and so tiny and I fell in love with him. And although he wasn’t my sleepiest baby to photograph, he did a wonderful job.

The house was lovely – an older home, rich with character and beautiful old hardwood floors. I just LOVE old hardwoods in photographs. And I got a chance to use a few new blankets for this session that I have been itching to use. Mom was great to work with and even the new big brother and sister got in on the session.

This weekend I had the pleasure of working with Cassie Premo-Steele as my subject for one of my Women’s Sessions. Cassie has a wonderful spirit about her and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. Christi did such a wonderful job on Cassie’s make-up too. She was beautiful and glowing – inside and out.

These portraits were taken at her home. As you can see, we made good use of the gorgeous flowering cherry in her backyard! I just love how they make blankets of pink on the ground.

Thank you, Cassie!
