Here’s a snapshot of a newborn/family shoot from last week. I like to work on specific baby poses for newborn sessions but sometimes there are unplanned moments that make the most intimate special portraits. The first one is just this. I love this image!

It was great seeing this family again. I photographed the eldest boy when he was a newborn. He’s now growing up into one supercute energetic guy. His little brother was not on for sleeping during this session. I guess there was too much going on to interest him. I think these two brothers are going to form quite a partnership!

This lovely six week old boy was a visitor to my studio last week. Although we couldn’t focus on the typical newborn shots ( first two weeks of life) it was still a great chance to capture some memories. He was awake for the whole session and showed himself to be a very mellow little guy!

When booking baby portrait sessions I always encourage parents to be in some of the portraits even if they were not planning to. Mom and Dad to this lovely girl wanted to have baby portraits taken.  However I had to ask them to be in more of the portraits than planned as that was when their daughter was the happiest. It worked out well.

I really enjoyed this recent family session. Very late Fall or Winter scenery can really make for some super portraits.  This family had to contend with a rather chilly end to the day ( the photgraphers were cold too) but it was well worth it. I love the light we got for the final part of the session.

Here’s a preview of a very adorable boy who came to my studio recently. The proof gallery for Mom is on it’s way.

It was a pleasure taking this family’s portraits. The 6 month old daughter did herself proud. She was quite the star. I used a rich red brocade as a backdrop for a few portraits. It made for a nice seasonal feel to the images. The little girl was so good we even popped her into one of my new tutus for the last shots of the session. I’m glad we did!

I met this family last week. They were very relaxed for the camera and this made for some really wonderful portraits. I think this session is one of the standouts for the Fall season!

This was a wonderful family session last week. We had a super setting and two very energetic dogs too! The focus was on family images and some child portraits. The girls were great for the camera.

It was good to photograph this family again. They are longstanding and very valued clients. This time it was for mother daughter portraits at our local park.

Another preview from last week. It was very nice meeting another new family in the area.
