A few years ago I hired two photographers/ editors to work for me part time.  Both gals were interested in growing their own photography business and wanted to work for me to not only supplement their income, but also to learn how I run my business.  I shared with them that I was one of the minority of photographers who actually did not specialize in a type of portraits.  What I mean is I like all types of portrait photography.  Weddings, high school seniors, kids, fashion, corporate head shots, you name it and if there are people in the image, I love to shoot it.

The one and only thing, I told these two, that I don’t really do much of, is newborn and tiny baby photography.   And no joke, the next 20 or so clients to book with me had babies under one years old.  Hey wait a minute, they both said, I thought you don’t really do baby photography.  And…. I ate my words.  Not only do I “do” baby photography, I really love it.  Typically we shoot a newborn session, a six month session and and one year session (yes, this is my baby plan).  I love getting to know the families and seeing how these babies change over the course of the year.  Most of these families end up clients for life and as a bonus, good friends.

Here is an absolutely beautiful family that just welcomed their baby girl into the world!  Congratulations to the whole Vali family!  I love calling you clients and friends.  Enjoy!

All babies are adorable, but this little guy is beyond adorable.  And it’s no surprise that’s the case when you see how incredibly gorgeous his parents are.  Watch out ladies, a heartbreaker has entered the world.  Enjoy!

Every once in a while I have a new born shoot that is just so yummy and fuss free I think “all I wanna do it work with babies”!  Of course, I love faces of all ages, but something about a fresh, sweet baby just gets to me.  Little Dominic was just a pure joy to photograph.  I just purchased these cutie little hats and was so excited to get a chance to photograph a new baby boy.  He was perfect and modeled every single new hat without missing a beat (okay, he did pee on me, but what can you expect from a naked new boy???)!   Enjoy!!!!!

There is nothing cozier than shooting newborn babies in their own home environment!  Especially when the home is as “yummy” as this gorgeous one!  Do you think Mama would notice if Anna and I snuck and and borrowed that unbelievable trunk every once in a while?  Big brother was an expert at snuggling his new brother.  Thanks for opening your home to Anna and me!

It has been a while since I have photographed these beautiful girls, and it was my honor to help them welcome their new baby brother to the family!  When their Mom called me to say she had a brand new baby boy, I was just thrilled for her.  She said he was born early, but she wanted to make sure she captured him while he still looked like a newborn.  Well…..he sure doesn’t look like a premi!  He is just perfect and what a beautiful little guy.  Each sister was so sweet with him, as was Mommy and Grandma!   Some days you are just luck…. I think we even captured him smiling.  What a wonderful life he has ahead of him!  He should definitely grow up to be an expert with the ladies cause he will get lots of practice with three beautiful sisters!  Enjoy!
