Oh how I love the real moments captured during a photo experience! Meet sweet baby A - the newest addition to the W family. She was such a cutie and I fully expect her to grow up to be a strong-minded, determined little girl. She was very alert during our session and completely curious. How many other newborns do you know who yawn with their eyes wide open? We did manage to get her to sleep for us, though.

I had a great time and thank J & I for having me over to capture their beautiful baby girl.

I hear a thunderstorm in the background, so I’m hoping to get this post up before our power goes out (as it almost always does in bad weather).

I’d like to wish a warm welcome to little miss M, who was all of 7 days young when I got the chance to photograph her last week. Oh how I love working with these itty bitty babes! My husband also loves that I work with them… it keeps me from feeling the need for any more of my own! Haha!

Apparently miss M was usually quite sleepy, but we got to see lots of her beautiful baby blues during our session. I’m really hoping this meant she (and her parents!) had a fabulous night’s sleep afterwards.

Some of my favorites so far…

Oh! Those little baby feet get me EVERY time!

We got her to sleep for a little while.

And one of my very favorite recent family portraits…

Thank you so much J & L for inviting me into your home to capture this incredible time in your lives! It was wonderful to see you all again and meet your sweet little M!

Whew - looks like I’ll actually get this up before the storm hits!

This little cutie really made us work for our shots! He wasn’t too interested in sleeping and every time he did doze off the camera shutter startled him out of his slumber.

But just look at these peepers… I’m kind of glad he was so alert.

And of course, just to show what some patience and determination can produce, here was one of the elusive sleeping shots:

Congratulations B & S! Your little man is simply adorable!

Oh, I just couldn’t wait to get home and take a look at these. Little L was amazing throughout the session and slept like an angel. Here she is making her modeling debut at 6 days young…

A heartfelt congratulations R & M! L is simply gorgeous!
