Baby Jacob

I was so excited to see an email from this little one's mama early Saturday morning. He was already ten days old so we scheduled the shoot for the same day! I ran around my apartment throwing all my new (and old) blankets, hats, and other props into a giant suitcase (I had to sit on it to get it zipped when I left the shoot), giddy to photograph another newborn. I have two more this month that I can't wait for!

Little wrinkly baby feet and round toes are always favorites.

Why do boys always get the best eyelashes?!?

LOVE all the shots with the new mom and dad. LOVE them.

Can you even believe this gorgeousness?!

I love these next two of mom for so many reasons.

Biiiiiig stretch!

Such a sweet face.

Jacob surprised his parents when he decided to come two and a half weeks early, but he still weighed in at 8 lbs 2 oz! My last 3 newborns have all come early, but he's been the biggest.

Congratulations on your handsome little boy!

Cameron Kate

Isn't her name darling? I was so excited to get an email from this little one's mama as this was my first newborn in Houston! She's the first baby to this lovely couple and, if I remember correctly, she's also the first grandchild! So many people must love this little girl already. When we first started she was wide awake, but before long she fell into a deep sleep and performed wonderfully for us.

Why are baby toes so delicious?? I just love them.

Love her little baby faux-hawk.

Mom tickled her cheek here to get that little grin .

At the end of the shoot she woke up and all of her faces cracked me up!

Baby Ambree

One of my roommates from BYU had a beautiful baby girl in December and I was able to photograph her while I was in Utah for Christmas. They moved into a new house on Christmas, so the lack of furniture in the kitchen created a perfect little "studio" for our shoot. When I was pulling out different blankets and hats and things Marilee said, "This is like playing dress-up!" Yep, my job is so much fun it's like playing dress-up! I love it and I love photographing newborns! Ambree was such an angel!
