Meet Landon…5 days old. He was beyond good for me. Sooo sleepy and super bendy… and he even gave me a few smiles! I wish they were all as easy as he was. This session was particularly fun because it was a bit of a high school reunion! Landon’s mama and I went to school together, and we invited a couple more of our old friends to come and help! We were laughing it up the whole time – and Landon slept through it all. Such a good little guy…and handsome too!
- He's all arms & legs ... big feet & hands. Duke already has him on their early watch list :)
- You are amazing Alecia! These are so precious. Yes uncle Bryan...we are looking at a verbal commitment to Duke Basketball before he is potty trained!
- Holy GOODNESS! These photos of XL are so wonderful! The timelessness of baby Russell is totally captured in these beautiful photos! I love them!
- Oh my beautiful. Your work is absolutely stunning.
- You are fabulous! Your work just blows me away. Great feature on TML blog. You totally deserve it!
One of my favorite families to work with came to see me again a couple weeks ago. I’ve been working with them since Little J (below) was still in his mommy’s tummy. Now he’s 2 and about to be a big brother to a baby sister! He’s gonna take real good care of her, I can tell. It’s always so fun to watch families grow, and it makes it even more fun when the families look as great as this one. K – if I didn’t love you so much, I might have to hate you for having the cutest preggo body out there! 
Can’t WAIT to meet Miss Julia!!
- ALECIA YOU ARE AMAZING!! Thank you sooooo much! See you in about 4 weeks... ;)
- I absoutely LOVE this session!! Beautiful work and beautiful family!! AMAZING pregnancy body :)
Happy 2010! My first session of the year – and boy, was it FUN! Not only did I get my hands on some newborn twins…they were both girls! I swear, I’ve been on a newborn boy streak…well, pretty much since I opened for business. Needless to say, I was just a little bit excited to work with these two!
Meet Ashlynne and Emmie, 5 weeks old here. I usually prefer to do newborn sessions much earlier than 5 weeks, but the girls were born a bit early and Emmie had to spend some time in the hospital before she could make the trip up here from Portland to be a supermodel for the day. Thanks K & J for making the trip up – it was wonderful to finally meet you guys!
- These are absolutely adorable!!! Love the last one and the one with one of them being held, mucho precious!
- We love them!! You did an awesome job, well worth the trip!! Thank you-can't wait to see the rest! And I think Kathy should get a raise ;).
- SOOOO adorable!! You amaze me...I feel like *I* want to buy some of these pictures and they're not even my babies!! And I think Koosje's right...next time pay me with a sandwich please!
- You are so very talented girl. I just got a new camera and a friend asked me to take some pictures of her baby boy and oh my goodness was it TOUGH! I was pooped. Anyway, now I appreciate your talent all the more.
- These are just too adorable!! The parents are going to LOVE these!!!
- Ashlynne & Emmie are my new nieces, my sister, their grandmother would have been over the moon with these babies. Your pictures are just amazing, I'm so glad Jason & Koosje found you!! Connie
- Koosoje - OMG they are fantastic pictures, but I was lucky enough to hold them in person - they are beautiful little girls and I am so happy for you and Jason. Love always, Kathy
- You ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! Wow breath-taking Alecia! Can not wait to have this baby girl and get her in front of YOUR camera!!!!!
- I love your work! Just gorgeous photos!
Meet little Roman! I had the pleasure of working with Roman and his parents last weekend – here’s a little sneak peek of thier session. R & E – thanks so much for bringing your sweet baby boy to see me!
…for having the Worlds Most Neglected Blog.
{ahem}
I cannot believe that I didn’t post a single thing all summer long – and now here we are into fall and I’m feeling a wee bit guilty. I’m so sorry my sweet little blog. I’ll do better. I promise. This summer was all sorts of fun – I did some really exciting things, some of which I plan to blog about….later. For now, I’ll show off this little sneak peek of a more recent session. This family is always super fun… and more importantly, undeniably CUTE! Take a look at these sweet babies - aren’t they adorable?
- You should win an AWARD for your photography!!!! Those are beautiful.....
This is the second time I’ve done a maternity session for this family – I just saw them a little less than 2 years ago! Last time I saw soon to be big brother Lucian – he was just a teeny little newborn himself. He’s growing quick and getting ready to take on his role as big brother, any day now. Baby brother is scheduled to be born very soon - and I can’t wait to meet him!
I got so lucky on Saturday to get my hands on this little guy – he was only 3 days old! And I’ll tell you what – he really didn’t want to sleep for me all that much, but in the end I think I finally wore him out. He was perfectly content to be bright eyed, checking this this whole new world. He was a really mellow little fellow….just wasn’t super sleepy for me This first picture really shows how he was for us for a good portion of the session. He was making direct eye contact left and right – which I don’t see very often it little one’s his age. I think I finally tired him out and was able to get a couple of good sleep stretches out of him – and it was well worth the wait. Isn’t he adorable? I love his cheeks! Congrats Mama and Daddy – you guys make CUTE babies!
- So sweet!! Alecia...your pictures are always so beautiful. Kelly, Trenton is so adorable! These pictures just melt your heart! Nice job! I really love the black and white hands picture and the 2nd one down (close up on white blanket, in color). So sweet!
- Great pics
- Ok....seriously....this little guy makes me want a third! And I thought I would NEVER say that.....he is so stinking cute!
I mean, seriously….How perfect is this little guy?! Not only is he adorable, he was an absolute angel the entire session – super easy to work with…and look at his blonde fuzz on top of his head, I love it! Thanks you guys for bringing him in, I had fun working with him – I wish they could all be as easy as he was! Enjoy your sneak peek!
- these are gorgeous!!! i love the blue hat shot...love it!! his little head of hair is just adorable!
- Alecia - thank you so much for making my sweet baby look even cuter!! (I didn't think it was possible :) This experience was so great and I am so happy with how these turned out...you're brilliant! ~Jessica
- These are absolutely AMAZING!!! When we have a baby - we are coming to your photographer for pictures!! Tonya
- Gosh I love your stuff!! Just awesome!!!
Miss Em came to see me again – this time outside and it was super fun! When she smiles, her whole face lights up! She’s going through just a teeny bit of “mama walking out of her sight” anxiety, but even when she has a boo-boo face, she’s adorable! This was another super fun outdoor session. I’m loving these now that the weather is getting better!
I was so excited to finally meet this little cutie patootie! His mama called me for newborn pictures last year when Cole was first born, but sadly I had to turn them down as I was on maternity leave. Well, Mr. Cole is now 1 and I finally got the chance to work with him. He’s was a super sweet, mellow little fellow and I had so much fun with him and his parents! Isn’t he just the sweetest? And check out his daddy’s tattoo – isn’t it awesome!?!
Gotch’er tickets to the gun show?
