bryn (just cause I like the name so much!)

First...if you are looking to WIN a FREE session then go on down to this post and don't forget to go checkout my newly updated website and then come back and check out yet another adorable baby I recently had the honor or photographing:



I told you she was adorable. You may remember her adorable family from their recent maternity shoot. Well, this sweet girl made her appearance not too long after those photos were taken. And mom is already looking amazing, and baby is settling in quite nicely with her doting siblings.





This baby was such a "third child" :o) She was so laid back, even when I took these photos:



...she just laid there, totally content. I was impressed. But I already feel a special bond with her, cause I sort of helped name her :o) right "mom"? I love her name. I'm glad you chose it, seen as there will be no more girls for me!!
And then, believe it or not, I even got a little smile! At a newborn shoot! That's unheard of; she must be one amazing little girl!



Okay, I know there's a lot of pictures, but I'm trying to give mom a few options for her birth announcements at the same time as her sneak peek. I know, very clever. So just a last couple (sort of) with mom and dad. And maybe an extra one with mom, just because she looks so darn good







Okay, off to bed. Don't forget to comment to win, only 5 more days...

sweet stuff

I have had the honor of photographing a lot of tiny little newborns lately, and I am loving it! There's nothing like a sweet new baby to make you just feel like the world is a wonderful place. And this little guy:

did just that. Check out his sweet 'do, and how he's already flexing and showing off his cuteness to all. He had me at ...hmm, he didn't talk, so maybe at fist glance? Yep, it didn't take much. What a cutie! And man, was he sweet. Just a pleasure really!

Oh, and his parents were there as well, and they were pretty cute too :o)

Hmmm... I wonder where he gets his "sweet 'do" from.



Okay, a couple more of mr. cutie (love, LOVE these two!)




And the last couple are of the new family of three. Another blessed baby to have such adoring and wonderful parents!




Congrats you guys! What a fantastic baby you have (even if he peed on my leg :o) I'll still photograph him anytime!!) I know he will continue to bring you so much joy! It was a pleasure to spend a couple hours with you all!

three

Not too long ago, this great couple were dreaming of their baby and wondering what "it" would be. And now their sweet little (is a 10 pounder considered little? :o) GIRL is filling their home with her sweet presence, and here the little beauty is:

Serious cuteness or what!?!

She is well loved and cuddled and spoiled this sweet girl. Here are a few of my favorites:




I was all excited to get to use my girly pink polka dot back drop, and dad didn't even complain! In fact he informed me that their wedding was all pink, so he is rather resigned to the color that is filling their home these days.


I made this one black and white just for dad :o)


I love her sweet face in this one. (and mom had the flowers their because her middle name is Violet. We weren't entirely sure that these are in fact violets...but they'll do the trick.)


And one last sweet little snuggle *sigh*


Congratulations you guys, I am so happy for you and your beautiful family. She is a little doll!

and baby makes five

A few weeks ago now, this family of four became five. They welcomed this sweet boy:

I love this shoulder shot on mom because I have one almost like it with his big sister when she was just a new little one. It took some doing to get together to do these shots, and then it took a little convincing the big siblings that it was a fun idea :o) but in the end we got some beautiful images and here are a few from the day:





Let's just say we had to laugh at the sometimes challenges of getting three kids to all look, let alone smile, at the camera. I literally laughed out loud at some of the faces we caught on camera. M - I threw a few of the funniest ones on your disk so you can have a good laugh. But this shot was a favorite of mine the three of them (cause seriously how sweet is baby's expression?!?):


And even though the light's a little off, I still love this shot


A couple more with mom and baby


And one last one of this sweet little guy who is simply adored by his amazing family.


Congrats you guys! He is a little doll, can't wait to see what he looks like blond :o) I look so forward to watching him grow and many more photo ops in the future!!!

little boy blue

Remember this couple's sweet maternity session? Well baby has arrived!!! I am so excited for you to see this sweet little guy! First, "mommy" and "daddy" adoring their little man:



And here's little boy blue himself at only five days old. So tiny. So adorable. And mom let me get in lots of cuddles. Thanks :o)


I am so proud of this mommy. I am always amazed when people I have known forever become mommies, and honestly, she is such a natural! Even after a rough delivery, and therefore recovery, she just seemed so at ease, and like she was made to be this little dude's mom.




I love the way he is staring up at dad here.


He kept winking at me :o) but I love this sweet little face. Is he adorable, or what?!?




This shot was actually tough to get! This little guy liked to stretch out, you can just imagine what that was like for mommy's ribs when he was still in her tummy! But I love how tiny he looks here.


And finally..I think dad's pretty proud of mom too! You guys are such naturals, and he is gorgeous! Congratulations, and be prepared for many more photo shoots in the future!! :o)

starting early

I am so excited to show off a few of these photos. I LOVE doing newborn shoots, more because I usually get a little cuddle in at some point than anything else. But I always love it when I get to try something a little different at a shoot, and this was one of those times. Anyways, this little miss was six days old on the day of her shoot, and she performed brilliantly. (oh, and if you're looking for mr. adorable, he's the post below, so scroll on down :o) there's some serious cuteness on this blog)

Here are a few of my favorites of the day:


Oh, and notice the new watermark/logo? It's all a part of the new website, which is almost ready, and I cannot wait for you all to see it! My cousin in law designed it for me, if anyone wants her contact info, let me know and I will get it to you!




Okay, now onto the shots I was really excited about...remember mom's maternity shoot, with the horses? So I thought we'd carry that theme on and get a few with the sweet girl on mommy's saddle. Ready for some serious cuteness?





And finally, you can't have a newborn shoot without some sweet feet (the only version of feet that I actually like :o)


Congrats again! I hope you enjoyed the peek, and I hope she keeps right on being a little angel for you!

so little, so sweet

Well, I am getting further and further behind here on the ol' blog, but that's good, only in that it means I'm far too busy taking pictures, and getting them to clients to get on the internet much. Well, that and being a mom :o)

Here are a few long overdue pictures of this beautiful little newborn. He was only five days old here, and I think he's actually about two months old now, but here are a few of my favorite to make mom swoon, and sniffle because he's changed so much already.

Get ready, there are lots of pictures, and this is after eliminating far too many already!





A little vintage feel to this one. Isn't he just the cutest??!


I love how little he looks in dad's big hands


And a sweet mauling, I mean holding session with the family. :o) This baby will be well loved if his big sister has anything to say about it!










And lastly (hey, I warned you there were a lot!) I love how squishy his little face and mouth look in this picture, and there's just nothing that melts me like a sleeping baby!


Hope you enjoyed the peak! Now we have to get together so I can actually get your pictures to you. (and so I can give him another snuggle!
