Getting a sleeping newborn to smile is a tricky thing. Some say you can gently caress their cheek and they will smile. Occasionally that will work, but more times than not, it is just sheer luck when they smile :-) This sweet little angel gave me more smiles than I usually have in 10 newborns combined! The smiles just kept coming, and I just kept clicking! This doesn't always happen so easily so I thoroughly enjoyed her displays of happiness that she showered me with....if only they all did this! "Thea is the best! She makes it so easy, for mama and baby! She is extremely pa ..read more

I love it when parents let me choose what colors to use....when they trust me with making beautiful choices for them. This olive green set-up is one of my favorites and I was thrilled to use it on this little angel.

This is a true antique, not a replica, and I can't help bu ..read more

She looked so cute with it. I hope she will have it all her life and have these pictures to realize how special it is :-) ​ Want to learn more about what it’s like to work with a baby photographer?

One of my favorite ways to photograph a newborn is with their parents' uniforms....that might be the uniform of a fireman, a state patrol officer, even a marching band uniform. In this session, dad was a former marine and wanted pictures of his baby boy on his hat with his dog tags. I don't know why, but these images almost make me tear up....there is something so special about them <3 ​ Want to learn more about what it’s like to work with a baby photographer?
