This is Kieran, and like most all newborns, he operates on his own schedule. From what I understand, he kept his parents waiting when he was trying to be conceived, he kept his Mom waiting several days past his due date (despite being predicted to arrive several weeks early), and he certainly kept a certain photographer waiting for him to fall asleep both in the studio and then later outside, when we decided that might be the best place for him to sleep to be photographed. Never wanting to be left out, Mother Nature got in on the “waiting” action when we scheduled the outdoor segment last week, and rain ruined our plans and pushed our session to this week.

Still in all, I will certainly attest to the wait being worth it (and from his parents’ obvious smitteness, I’d say they think the wait was worth it, too.)

Congratulations Michele & Chris! All of my best to you guys, and many thanks again for your patience. xox

Jen running behind on blogging + a very agreeable and adorable little baby boy = lots of pictures to share!

Thanks for waiting for the long overdue sneak peek, Julia & Dennis!

Logan arrived on one of the most wonderful days of the whole year: June 4th–the day my daughter, also a firstborn, was born. Besides sharing a birthday, he and my daughter also share being born with a cute full head of hair and that adorable wrinkle across the bridge of their nose (which disappears way too soon, sadly).

Congratulations guys! I’ll think of you always on my daughter’s birthday. :)

Who is just a beautiful little baby boy…

One of the awesomest (yes, it’s a word, no matter what my spell check says) parts of my job this past year has been meeting quite a few new additions to families I’ve worked with in the past. Emily is the little sister of Ava, who I photographed both as a newborn and also last summer at the beach. (You can see her sessions here and here.)

Now I know that few hours I spend photographing newborns doesn’t really say everything about their personality or temperament, but Ava was one of the easiest babies to date that I’ve ever worked with. So knowing how different my kids were/are from one another, I was totally expecting a more challenging session with Emily thinking that no family ever gets *that* lucky to have two easy-going babies. To my pleasant surprise, Emily was as much of a photographer’s dream as her sister. Perhaps there’s something extra special in their DNA that makes such agreeable and beautiful babies!

Congrats again, Joey & Kelli! All my best to you and much, much love.

Love those baby smiles caught on camera…

And because I couldn’t resist taking one of Ava…

If I told you that Gideon isn’t even a month old and already smiling when being kissed by his mommy.

You might also not believe me if I told you those lashes were real (always on a boy, right?)

…And for what it’s worth, I’ve never believed those who purport that baby smiles happen because of gas. I believe they happen because of pure joy, comfort and happiness:

Congratulations Colleen & Steve, and many thanks for sharing your beautiful son with me!

Last weekend, I was so lucky to be a part of a small workshop with two of America’s most noted newborn photographers. I learned some amazing tips and techniques, both with working with and posing newborns, but also creating beautiful color and black & white portraits. Since I’m working on catching up editing client sessions, I couldn’t edit too many images from the workshop as of yet, but here are a few portraits that I was just dying to blog that I took during our instruction and edited on the plane on the way home.

Suffice to say, I can’t wait for my next newborn session to try out some of my new tips and tricks.
