I love those little lips!!

What an adorable new family!  I love that the colors they're wearing match his bedroom!

It took a little while for this little missy to warm up to me (as it always does), but we got the sweetest smiles out of her as long as mom stayed close .  I love those giant blue blue eyes!

The big brother had to wake up from an unplanned nap for the shoot and he wasn't happy about it!  We finally convinced him to come out and play with me and I was so excited to get him on this little tricycle.  I think he was pretty happy about it too!

She had the longest, darkest eyelashes I've ever seen on a newborn.  She's going to LOVE those when she's older!

Congratulations on your perfect little girl!

We took several pictures of him swaddled like this with different hats on, but as soon as we took the swaddle off he was not happy with us!

Isn't this face perfect?  One of my favorites.

We managed to get him back to sleep and he was so good for us.  I love his fuzzy hair and little belly rolls!

A sweet little smile!

At the very end of the shoot I wanted to get a few more on the backgrounds his mama picked out and Hank gave us this little gem!

This next one cracks me up!  What a poser, eh?  I love the look he's giving me too.

He needed a little power nap.

Then he showed me how well he can sit (as long as those cute arms hold steady).

Sometimes, babies make really funny faces.  I love capturing them on camera!

Did I mention he's ticklish?  I just wish my arm was longer so I could tickle and take the picture at the same time!

Red, yellow, and gray=a winning color combination.  Put an adorable baby in the middle and this is one picture that just melts me.

Ah, baby hands!  They're often moving far to fast to get a focus on them, but how darling they are!

There's a whole lot more cuteness where that came from!

Manny is also a model baby for why it's so important to do newborn pictures early!  I've had a few babies right at 7 days recently and each one has been a dream.

This yellow blanket belonged to Manny's dad!  I've had so many clients lately that have had me use a blanket that has special meaning during their session.  I love it!

This next one is my favorite.  What a sweet boy.

Manny is named after his great-grandpas and this hat was the hat that Grandpa Manny wore.  His wife (great-grandma) was the one who made this blanket!  Maybe when this Manny is a little bigger he'll get to wear the hat on his head.

We got several little grins throughout the session, and this was one of the last.  How sweet is he.

Brayden's dad built the house they're in and let me tell you, it is stunning.  Everything in that house came together perfectly and I had lots of spots to choose from with great light!

This big brother loves his baby!  Don't they look so sweet and angelic?

I got a new macro lens that I loooove and took every opportunity to use.  Look at those lips!

The shoot was also a gift from a friend and employee, whose baby boy I get to photograph in a couple of weeks!  Can't wait.

Their last name is something that belongs in a toolbox, so we placed Wyatt in a toolbox that belonged to his great-grandfather!  Their house was full of cool things that belonged to parents and grandparents.

This wooden bowl is another example!  It belonged to mom's grandmother (I think, so many cool things I couldn't keep track of it all).

They loved all the hats, so we made sure to sure lots of them, including some new ones I hadn't had the chance to pull out yet!

I love the crazy faces I get from newborns when they're awake!  I find this one hee-larious.

New hat!  And look how perfectly he posed for me.  Good boy.

It was such a pleasure to meet you and your little guy!  Congratulations!

I spent a lot of time with the little guy while Jenna slept, so there are a lot of pictures!  Feast your eyes on the cuteness.

One reason why newborns are typically sleeping in pictures:  that's a nice lazy eye P is giving us.

This next one cracks me up.  Hamming it up for the camera already!  What blue eyes he has!  I know his mama hopes they stay that way.

Jenna said this is her new favorite picture of herself.  P gave us about 15 seconds of calmness to get this shot (after we laughed at him for eating his toes).  Good job P.

This shot had Jenna sweating and breathing recycled air with her head under a blanket!  Totally worth it .

This is a trunk gifted from Jenna's Polish in-laws when they were there (in Poland) one Christmas, which I think is so cool!  We weren't sure he'd fit, but P slept so peacefully when I laid him down on top.

I'll be so sad when they all move to Chicago in a few months, so I'll have to go visit them again before they go!  Expect a few pics of P at 3 months in July .
