I always tell people that my favorite type of photography is newborn photography….but this session had me questioning whether or not that was true! I had so much fun with this sweet family – such nice people, and pretty darn good lookin’ too! Little Ben was such a sweet, gentle boy – he had such a kind smile and his eyes…..oh, my goodness, those eyes of his were pretty much channeling heaven.

Thank you guys for such a fun session, I look forward to working with you again!

This one just cracked me up! I told him to kiss Daddy and instead, he decided to show off his kissy face!

There are times in this journey through photography that I really feel blessed to do what I do. I get to meet the most incredible people and be with them during some of the most joyous times in thier lives! This session was certainly no exception! I’ve worked with this family for going on 3 years, and I’ve captured them going from a family of 2 to 3, and then 3 to 4. Absolutley adore this family – and even more so now that Julia has joined! K – hangin’ with you is just like hangin’ with some of my oldest friends! I {heart} you!!!

Take a look at this wonderfully perfect piece of cuteness at 10 days old. Love her!

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!

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 meThis 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!
