The boy next door

Yep, we have a new neighbor, and he is ADORABLE!  You might remember when I did Latitia’s Maternity Pictures and we had one of the images on the March 2011 cover of Our Town Magazine. Well, life has changed for my long-time neighbors, and now they have a precious new baby boy.  I couldn’t be happier for them and I’m so excited to introduce Mr. Jamison Alan – exactly 7 days old.  :)

Guess who is getting all the sleep in this family????  :)

Beautiful baby Lyon

I’m a little slow on my session shares recently (sorry!).  Here are some pictures from our wonderful session at my studio with my friend Alice Park, and her beautiful baby boy, Christian Lyon.  There were four of us photogs there (five if you include Alice – but she was just watching).  It was awesome!  Lyon didn’t make a peep – just slept the whole time.  Truly a photographer’s baby!  :)

I can’t wait to watch him grow up – and I know there will be tons of  pictures since his mom is a fabulous photographer, with lots of photographer buddies.  Congratulations to Alice & Kyu!  XOXO

Just look at that sweet smile!!

And, of course we had to have a little fun – since mom and dad are the founders of NAPCP!!  ;)

And a few behind the scenes shots:

Yes, even photographers use their iPhones for pictures.  That’s Lisa snapping a photo of Lyon with her Princess ring – in honor of the royal wedding that day.  ;)

Perfect in every way

I always get really excited about newborn sessions because it’s so fun to hang out with new parents and snuggle with the new babies.  It’s also very nostalgic to talk about how it “used to be” when my kids were teeny-tiny.  There really is no way to prepare for parenthood, except to open your mind and your heart to the most amazing experience in life.  And these two parents are going to do GREAT!  The love is just pouring out of them when they look at sweet baby Avery.  My heart is melting as I browse through the images I captured during our session.  From what I understand, there are two sets of VERY excited grandparents as well – even more fun!!

Welcome to the world baby girl!  I can’t wait to watch you grow up!

Sweet baby Asher

When Priscila contacted me to do her newborn photos I was touched and excited.  I am always honored when someone chooses me to capture one of the most amazing and memorable times in life – the first few days with an amazing new life.  Small enough to fit his whole body in your hands but big enough to hold every millimeter of your heart in his.   I was especially honored because Priscila (AKA:Mrs. Benson) was Kylie’s first pre-school teacher and has been in her life for the past three years.  Priscila also teaches at Little Gym – so I’m sure many of you know her.   She truly loves all of her students and I know that her and BJ will make AWESOME parents!

Asher was born a few weeks early, so he was just a bundle of teeny-tiny goodness.  Very awake and aware for his size, but we were able to get lots of sleepy pictures.  Just looking at them makes me want to hold him again.  I didn’t get to snuggle as much as usual since I had a little cold and didn’t want to get him sick. :(

Thanks for sharing your sweet baby boy with me, even if it was just a few hours. :)  See you soon!

The Ultimate Challenge

Miss Savannah is way past the newborn photography stage, but mom was determined to document her beautiful family just as they are right now — and I’m so glad we did it!  It’s a bit more challenging when babies are at this stage because they aren’t as sleepy as a newborn, but they’re also not as sturdy as an older baby.  Big sister Abbey was GREAT and had this big glowing smile that could brighten any room.   We all worked as a team, and I think we captured something truly beautiful.

Up first – my VERY favorite!

Daddy and his girls – awwwwww!

And, believe it or not, Savannah fell asleep for a few minutes…… so we pretended she was a newborn!;)
