When I was first contacted by Rose’s mom to photograph her new baby when she arrived, she mentioned that the baby girl they were expecting was going to be named Rose. And thus, a quest to find a perfect prop began. When I found this blanket, it seemed a perfect fit…

And her parents also brought along an equally-as-fitting headband…

And Rose, well, as you have already seen, she brought along some amazing cuteness…

My warmest congratulations to you both, Heather & Justin! Thank you so much for having me take Rose’s first portraits–it was truly an honor!

When I was a kid, there was a fair amount of cheek squishing that came from older ladies we’d run into when at the mall, or the grocery store, or wherever we’d run into a sweet older woman eager to share a compliment. My great-grandmother was such a voracious cheek squisher (and kisser) that I have to admit that she scared me a bit–as I entered middle childhood, hellos were said hastily and quickly as I tried to duck out of the reach of her fingers. As you can imagine, my young self swore I’d never, ever become a cheek squisher or kisser when I became an “old” woman.

And here I am, not close to being “old” (well, according to me, anyway!) and Brandon, well, he got me… It took every single ounce of me to resist giving those sweet, adorable cheeks a kiss and a squish.

Congratulations, and all the best, Stacey and family!

Cloned?

I kid, of course, but I’m not sure that I’ve ever photographed a baby that looked so much like one parent over the other. Lucky girl to get those beautiful genes, wouldn’t you say? :)

And can you believe that this Anderson, like the Anderson I worked with 2 weeks ago, was also a smiler! I think this is the biggest baby grin I’ve ever captured on film. Apparently, there must be something with the name that makes babies happy. :)

My warmest congratulations Audra & Mark!

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

For most modern-style newborn photographers, we usually encourage parents to get their babies to us, uh, maybe on the way home from the hospital? (I kid, kinda. ;) It’s during these first few days of life that newborns are still curled in the fetal position and spend most of their time being in a very deep sleep, which allows me to manipulate and pose them in all of the adorable positions that represent my work.

So when Olivia’s parents called to ask me to photograph her and then told me that she’d be nearly 6 weeks old when we met (which is like a collecting-Social-Security newborn for a photographer!), I must admit that in the back of my mind, I was unsure if the session would work out or would take on the characteristics of a newborn session–in other words, if she’d still fall into sleep deep enough that I could pose her without disturbing her since older newborns typically do disturb and wake a little easier than “fresh” newborns.

To my pleasant surprise, Olivia was just as easy as 6-day-old. And better able to focus on the camera, so we got some amazing eye contact, to boot.

Thank you so much for such a fun day yesterday, Lisa & Matt! Congratulations again, and enjoy!

I must admit, there’s nothing quite like a baby with a full head of hair to make my heart skip a few beats. My daughter had a crazy head of hair when she was first born (still does), and while I hate making a big deal out “all of that hair!” (since I am sure that his parents will hear this more than anything else all throughout his babyhood), I must admit that it seemed almost a shame to put the cute bear hat on him, hiding his gorgeous locks.

Congrats again, Melissa & John on your gorgeous son!
