Madeline

Madeline may have had the longest hair I’ve ever seen on a newborn!  I swear I didn’t have this much hair until I was two (at least).

She also had these crazy long eyelashes.  I hope she appreciates them!

Hm, I wonder where Miss Madeline will be going to college…

Yes, people, it’s Fall!  Welcome to the world Madeline.

Baby M

Baby M was such a sweetie for our session!  Not only her parents came to the session, but also several doting grandparents!  There won’t be a lack of love in her life!

Love those lips!

Mia

Isn’t Mia’s mom gorgeous?  No wonder she turned out to be such a beauty!

I really love newborn yawning pictures!

See?  Look at that sweet face.  She’s beautiful.

This might be my favorite.  What a sweet smile!  She looks so peaceful and happy.

Those really are her footprints!  This shot was requested for Dad :).

I really enjoyed our time together (back in July, geez, where did the time go??)!

Zara, the smiley newborn

Zara came into this world much sooner than her family was anticipating, but she’s a fighter and also got to go home from the hospital sooner too!  Her doctor was shocked at how quickly she nearly doubled her birth weight (she was a bit over 6 lbs at the session).

I’m shocked at how smiley this little lady was.

Zara and her beautiful mama both have names that mean types of flowers.  How sweet is that?

Hey!  There’s another smile.

And some more…

She rivals one of my other smiley little guys this year in amount of smiles.  I love photographing happy babies!

Marina, Luke, & Vivian

I can’t imagine being pregnant in this crazy Houston heat, but Marina pushed through the maternity session and still managed to look gorgeous!  I’ll admit, it was among the hottest sessions this year.

Then, not too much later (and a couple of weeks early!) Vivian made her debut.  Marina still managed to look beautiful just days after giving birth!

Vivian was just darling.  I love that little pucker!

I’ve been getting tons of newborn smiles from swaddled babies lately!  Swaddling must make them happy.
