Sisterly Love

These 2 little girls were precious…especially together! Older sister B did a great job with her little sister’s newborn shoot. We were even able to get a few great photos of just her as you will see in the video below.

Sleeping Beauty

Ok so I’m a little addicted to this whole blog post thing! (Yeah it’s Michelle again) I never really understood the hype about blogging until recently. In this case, I get to see cute photos all day long while I sit in a relatively quiet studio with no one else around, so how can I not share them with others?! So I FINALLY see the benefit in blogging, I’m not just talking to myself saying “Oh my gosh, that is the custest thing I have ever seen!”. This newborn girl was ridiculously cute in her knitted hat. Don’t you think? She really was a sleeping beauty.

Outdoor Newborn Photos

I love second children… Yeah, I said it! Parents are so much more relaxed after they’ve been through the gauntlet once before. Plus, the babies are forced to share attention with their older sibs, and makes them learn at an early age to go with the flow.

One of the best things about photographing newborn babies (preferably 2 weeks or younger) is that they are super sleepy, and you can put them just about anywhere! They don’t move very much, don’t roll, and that makes for some great pix! What I’ve noticed throughout my time working with new parents is that the babies feed off of their energy. A relaxed Mom is more likely to have a relaxed baby.

Take Baby H. His parents were super laid back during his outdoor newborn photo session at their home– and that allowed us to get some awesome shots! They learned that a little nature won’t hurt him… but maybe his big brother will! Here are some of my favorite shots from their session…

The whole family was around for this photo shoot– even Max!

August Photography Recap

August was a great month– filled with weddings, lots of pregnancy and newborn sessions, and tons of family photos, both in the studio and outdoors with natural light! Here is a slideshow featuring a little bit of every photo session from August 2009. Can’t wait to see what September brings…!

Don’t Let Me Babysit!!

My brother and sister-in-law innocently left me home with their 10-day old newborn baby boy… Surprise surprise, I took it upon myself to turn their back yard construction site into our very own natural light studio backdrop! The warm summer day provided a comfortable environment for my adorable little nephew, and aside from his displeasure in being repositioned every two minutes, he was a great model! While I love the studio’s fine-art approach to newborn photos, the outdoor & natural light environment provides a fun alternative– and an endless supply of props!

My brother’s response when I showed him the pictures?? ”No you didn’t… I never would have let you do that.” He loved them! They’re coming in the studio tonight for their “official” newborn portrait session.

Here are some of my favorite shots!
