Her cuteness makes me ache.  When I photographed her as a newborn, I knew she was going to be adorable – but geez, she is just sooo darn cute! She has the perfect little cheeks…and such beautiful eyes. She’s definitely going to be a knockout when she grows up.

I’ve been receiving lots of emails from photographers asking about my little newborn and baby beanies…and wondering if I make them – I don’t. I once tried to make a scarf and it was pretty funny – but a disaster. One end of the scarf ended up way too narrow and it looked like one leg of a tapered pair of jeans from the 80′s – I have no crochet or knitting skills. at all.  It’s fun, but the outcome is never good. So, I get ALL of my stuff from Etsy. It’s an awesome place to buy all things handmade from amazingly talented artists. BUY HANDMADE!! It’s so much better than going to big, stale, boring stores-yuck! Plus, everything you get is one-of-a-kind!

Also, I do offer gift certificates for photo sessions. These are awesome gifts for family/friends and baby showers! The gift certificates come boxed and pretty – all ready to go.

Last, you’ll soon be enjoying some new tunes on my site by Renee & Jeremy. An amazing duo! They create beautiful melodies that really tug at your heart strings (when I listen to them while looking at my son, I get teary eyed).  Press play below while browsing my blog  When I figure out how to add music to my blog without making it slow as molasses, I shall!

I have a deeper appreciation for the sweetness of newborns every time I have the opportunity to photograph them with their older siblings. Isn’t it just amazing how fast our babies grow up? From tiny newborn to a spunky toddler – my, how they change right before our eyes….which is why I just loove, loove newborn sessions…

freezing their smallness in time…

Yay! They both found me interesting enough to look at me at the same time!!!! In high school, I had a super short hair do and it was purple…maybe I should go for it again? I think kids would love to look at me with hair like that! Hmmmmm.

Anyway – THIS shot made my day!!!

When mommy shared her unforgettable birth story with me – it was a definite reminder of how precious a new life really is – and how spectacular the miracle of birth is. Kudos to mommy for enduring such an unforgettably trying labor and delivery. We can all agree though that the end result is just beautiful, awesome & perfect – all rolled into one – here he is…welcome baby!

Hello, blue-eyed beauty! It’s no wonder why this image is one of mommy’s favorites (it’s one of my faves, too!)

…to keep them this way forever.  What makes a photo so special is how it can take you on a trip back in time to that very moment it was taken. Remembering how small, sweet and precious our little ones were – and how years past seem like just yesterday…I just love these images – sleeping shots of toddlers are just as beautiful as newborns…
