Baby Jacob

9 Comments

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!

Unamused.  Extremely so.

We got her!

I had a few minutes to visit my brothers family back in December, most of which were spent taking pictures of Halle.  I wish I remember now what we did to make her smile, but that first picture cracks me up.

Craig & Jackie’s Wedding!

If you remember their engagements you’ll remember that Craig and his family are favorites :).  Friends since Craig’s 14th birthday, and they’ve done so much for me over the years!  Hopefully I’ll be around when a few more of the 5 kids get married (Craig’s the oldest).

I flew into Utah a few days before the wedding (which was in October, yes I’m way behind on blogging), but my second-shooter didn’t fly in until the night before.  Due to crazy weather he got stranded in Denver (not fun, we don’t have good luck there).  The next morning was a mad rush to the airport, getting the rental car, and then driving the several hours to Manti!  We got there just a few minutes before they got out of the temple.  It was a cold day in Manti!

First public kiss!

Yes, I’m hardcore in my Gap kid’s beanie and shootsac.  When I’m shooting I strangely don’t even feel the cold!  That is, until my fingers go numb and I can’t find the shutter button :).

And then Craig decided to join me.  Jackie stayed under the warmth of a blanket between shots :).

Favorite!

I’m pretty sure Jackie made both of these cakes, can you believe that?!  So if you’re in Utah and need a cake made…

Congratulations!  Can’t wait to see you all again!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Hope everyone had a great weekend and a fun Valentine’s Day!  Last minute I decided to get some heart-shaped cookie cutters (like, I got the last heart-shaped anything at Michael’s) and since one of them was metal I though it’d be fun to try and make heart-shaped fried eggs (boyfriend’s favorite) and heart-shaped french toast bites!  Rounded out with orange juice and super delicious super crispy bacon, just the way he likes it; I prefer mine chewy!

I’d love to find some fun V-day traditions that I can incorporate into the holiday (I’m not a huge fan of too many traditional traditions :)).  How did you celebrate??
