Jaxson may have been one of the tiniest babies I’ve ever photographed and he was just so perfect to work with!  This is the very first picture I took of him.  I knew it was going to be a good day :).

I love those little lips!!

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

I was so excited to get an email from K’s mama (seen here, isn’t she beautiful?).  I walked into their new home for the shoot and got even more excited.  The light in this place was amazing!  It was perfect, and so is K.

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!

Hank was the oldest newborn I’ve ever photographed! The shoot took much longer than usual, but it was so worth it.  He had so many cute little rolls and some great smiles for me.

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!

Manny was such a blessing to his hopeful and patient parents!  After waiting two years and going through several “almosts,” they were finally able to adopt their baby boy.  I’m pretty sure he was worth the wait!  They didn’t even know about him until he was already a couple of days old and they got the call!  I think they were out the door before the person on the other line was able to finish a sentence.  Isn’t he perfect?!

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.

This little boy’s mama is a super woman.  They moved into a new house a week before she had Brayden, and when I arrived when he was about two weeks old she was running all over the place getting things done!  Plus, she has an almost-6-yr-old and owns a darling local baby boutique.

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.
