Jillian | Ten days new!

Monday, December 13th, 2010

In preparation for my own little one on the way I am offering a few select complimentary newborn sessions. So if you happen to know anyone expecting from now until the end of February send them my way. :)

Baby Jillian is one of those lucky sessions. She took a while to get to sleep as she just wanted to see what was going on. So until she was ready for her photoshoot I had a little fun with her brother :) He definitely made it ok for me to have a little boy. So stinkin’ cute!DSC_2954His Mama had kissed him on the cheek :)DSC_2967DSC_2940

Their first family photo being the four or them. Big brother was super stoked to be holding his tiny sister!DSC_3073 copy

Jillian has the sweetest lips ever. I have top lip envy.DSC_3101DSC_3108 copyDSC_3116

Goodnight Moon is a vintage from her dads collection of baby photos. Mr bunny is her brothers. I always love the parents ideas. I would have never thought to use a book as a backdrop.DSC_3152

She looks like a bunny here :)DSC_3179DSC_3183DSC_3212DSC_3224 copyDSC_3287Thank you both so much for letting me come in and meet your new little one. She is so special!

Shelby | Goldsboro Newborn Photography

Meet 10 day old Shelby. She took a while to show up (poor Mom.) You might remember Shelby’s mom Nikki from a few weeks ago. 20100820-DSC_625220100820-DSC_624320100820-DSC_6313

This cradle is a family heirloom of theirs. Nikki’s grandfather made it for her when she was a baby and its been passed around the family for a while and now its back where it started, well sorta. Again, I love that a blanket I made is making an appearance in the photos :)20100820-DSC_635720100820-DSC_6213

Call me!

Charlotte or Charlie is a cute little baby. She is probably the best baby I have photographed although it might have been my new bean bag. :) I really like newborns and I really wish I could meet more of them. They are my favorite subjects to photograph besides couples and lindy hoppers. I really like the fact that I am their first professional photographer. When they are older they will see these pictures and think, what was she thinking? “Wow! How cute was I? Mom, I fit into a bowl?” Or other random things like that.

Charlotte is about a month early. Her mama wasn’t due to have her until September 6th. Luckily she came early since her daddy really wanted to meet her. To second that luck the whole family was able to hang out with me on Sunday. Thanks for taking the time out of your limited days to spend with me. Now on to Baby GaGa (her in womb name which I might steal when I pop’m out.) She was 6 days old when I finally got to meet her.20100815-DSC_5658

Introducing: New Beginnings sessions!

Hello from the Bahamas!

For a while there I wasn’t sure this little bundle of cuteness was going to enter the world. She took forever. She really liked her momma! Finally she did though, at a whopping 9lb 1oz. That’s a 1 not a 10. She was definitely fighting her sleep the day we chose for photos too. Eventually she couldn’t fight it anymore and then let a little magic happen. Isabella was 10 days in these photos.20100708-DSC_337820100708-DSC_3515This next one is one of my favorites from the session, Jons face along with the babies just really make me laugh.20100708-DSC_3507
