schedule update and a newborn preview

Here is an update on my availability

February
Sessions are nearly all full. I do have a 1 weekend session left on the 23rd due to a cancellation. And 1 weekday session left on the 27th.

March
Sessions are all full. I will post any cancellations just in case anyone is still looking for an easter session.

April
All weekends are full, but I do have some remaining weekday openings.

Also, I wanted to post some of my favorites from my most recent newborn session. The Mom of this baby had an amazing plan for her session. She saved her pregnant belly cast to use as a prop for her little one. I think it made a very special picture and of course her little one fell right asleep once she was curled up.

more newborns!

I had so much fun photographing this little newborn! It was one of the coldest days of the year (cold enough to bring snow - we all watched the snowflakes fall with great excitement) but luckily we were toasty warm inside. This little one fell fast asleep for her entire session and was a dream to photograph!

Here are some of my favorites so far!

newborn sessions

I wanted to give you all a sneak peak of one of my favorite newborn sessions from last week. Baby's Mom used a bloomer to cover her diaper and I think it looks adorable - I wanted to share the idea with the rest of the Mom's out there! What a nice way to add some style to your newborn session.

Also, a quick schedule update...

I will be out of the office January 25-28th so I will be offline and away from email. Please be patient with me and I will try to answer your emails when I return on the 29th.

Hope you all have a nice weekend - try to stay warm! Can you believe these temperatures? I have my coat on right now :)

seeing double

I had the rare opportunity to photograph newborn twins at just 5 days old and only 5 pounds each! These little babies were so tiny and felt light as a feather. They were so sweet when they nestled together as they were in the womb; it was just amazing to see!

sweet sweet baby...

When I photographed this baby, it reminded me so much of how much I love this baby stage. I do realize I'm always saying that, but it's true: I just love all the baby stages!

I had the opportunity to use all natural light for these pictures. I really love the softness that the natural light adds to his skin. Here are a couple of my favorites...

first session of 2008

I wanted to do a sneak peek of my first session in 2008. This session was so much fun and despite the bitter cold temperatures this sweet 5 year old did an amazing job! It was such a great session to start off the new year.

I really love winter time and it's great to see that outdoor photo sessions can be done at anytime of year and that kids can look so amazing with their winter hats & mittens.

Press Printed Baby Books are here!

So...the New Year is finally here and so are new Baby Books!

I created these Baby Books for families that love the look and feel of coffee table art books. This is a hard bound 10x10 inch book (20 pages total) with thick satin pages and can hold 20+ pictures from your session.

So many times albums get tucked away in cabinets and are rarely pulled out. But this is a book that you would proudly display on your coffee/console table - you will be amazed at how incredible your little one looks in this stylish book. It is a remarkable keepsake.

Here are some sample pages. I can also bring an example album to your newborn session so you can view this book first hand. The Baby Book is $350.00 and takes 4 weeks for print production.
