Newborns are probably one of the most difficult subjects to work with because they are so unpredictable (they are constantly hungry, crying, soiling diapers, etc.), nonetheless, they are one of my favorite subjects!! I just adore them, well, with 5 babies of my own I’m sure you can understand. I get to breathe in that fresh newborn scent, hold them and pose them. It is such a happy time because the parents are so happy to have their little babies here, after wondering how they would look and how they would be for 9 months. The setup is minimal, and with or without props they are just as precious as can be!!
I really enjoyed capturing this little guy! I got a chance to document the entire process…the maternity session, home-birth event & the newborn session. It has been such a phenomenal experience for me and I am beyond grateful to be able to create these memories for this family to treasure forever! We mixed a little bit of a studio session with the natural light of the outdoors to add a variety of shots.
When Katie first told me that she was pregnant, I nearly jumped for joy! I first met & photographed her and her darling smiley daughter back in May of 2010 at Amazing Births & Beyond and then photographed her family again a few months later at the beach for a Christmas session…each time was such a pleasure so when she contacted me to do her maternity, birth & newborn session I was beyond excited 
Her home-birth was so calm and absolutely amazing!!! She did a wonderful job and even caught her own baby boy for a great unassisted home birth experience. I was glad to have been there to capture it all!
I photographed this family several months ago when the Mama was pregnant and so I was very excited when she contacted me to do her newborn session as well. I typically prefer to photograph newborn sessions within the first 7-10 because they are such “newbies” and spend most of their hours asleep and thus they are easier to work with. This big guy was 3 weeks old (21 days) and very strong…he was wide awake & wouldn’t stay in any of the poses, so we decided to go outside and get some sunshine and capture the whole family instead. Well, this wore him out and we were all grateful because I was able to get some awesome newbornish shots with him asleep and cozy!
Wow, I cannot believe we already into February!!! It has been a very long time since I’ve last updated the blog with all of our latest photo sessions. Well, I have been extremely busy photographing family portrait sessions, homebirths & newborn sessions that I literally have not had the time to work on my blog or update my website…that’s not a bad problem to have actually because it has been awesome working with so many wonderful families! I am truly thankful!
I was so excited to meet baby Liam!! I had the opportunity to photograph his mama’s maternity session and had a blast then so I knew the newborn session would be just as amazing!!!The session was so laid back and very humorous as baby boy had several poppy incidences 
You captured it beautifully thank you for sharing these remarkable photos.
