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!

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!!

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!

…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?

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!

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!

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?
