…and already a plump little angel…

I could just watch newbies for hours. They make the cutest little facial expressions and make the sweetest gurgles and coos.

She looks mad…but she’s just giving us a big yawn :)

“Your camera intrigues me.  Sleep? I’d much rather check out what you’re doing!”  Still, our sweet little model was absolutely precious to photograph even when he was wide awake  :)  Plus, what a great opportunity to see his lovely blue eyes, just like his mommy’s.

A squishy little newborn is one of my favorite subjects to photograph. How cute is this sweet little girl here?! All warm, snuggly and extremely squishy! Awww, so adorable.

Precious little hands…

…and baby makes three :)

A perfectly pink pout and yummy newborn toes.

Aren’t these just the cutest little piggies?

This has got to be one of my all time favorite baby and daddy images.  The way daddy’s holding little Sam with such love and Sam’s sweet smile…this one makes my heart sing…More to come from this session :)

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!

Tiny toes and a sweet sleep smile to brighten up your day!

We got the shot! After a *bit* of a mess and a wonderfully patient daddy – we captured a beautiful moment of the ENTIRE family! The dogs seemed to know right when to look at the camera, too. Thanks daddy for being such a trooper! And thank you to grandma for the help! I can’t wait to show you the color version, you can see  F & L’s beautiful light brown markings so well :)

Only days old and cute as a button…

The Los Angeles heat kept our model quite comfy – I, on the other hand, was more that a little hot! But as long as our newborn is happy – I’m happy!

…a week past his due date, but absolutely worth the wait! Sweet baby Noah…comfy and cozy – taking a snooze on a warm sunny day.

…since I photographed such a cooperative little newborn! Bradyn is such a content and happy baby. He stayed sleepy for the entire session – and I only saw his eyes one time.  And, get this – he didn’t “go” on my backdrops–now, that’s a rarity!  I really enjoyed this session….Bradyn is such a beautiful boy – with the cutest chubs and cheeks!

Look at mama – isn’t she pretty?!

…another mom & baby photo – because she’s just too pretty not to! Umm, really, just gave birth? Look how gorgeous she is – Hello! My fave is little M’s toes pressed up against mom’s chin :)

…and one more  of baby, because he’s too cute not to!

…and what a cute little bun he is! I knew he was going to be adorable, but wow, I was really stunned. Not only was he just lovely, he was easy to pose – which is so clear from these images…I loove dangly feet!

And here are the beautiful parents…

Sleep smiles make me happy.

This one is a favorite of mine – he looks so sweet and as happy as can be.

Just look at these baby toes! So chubby and plump :)
