beautiful baby grayson | eight days old

February 15, 2010

This is the sweetest baby girl of the sweetest little family in the world.  Their household is a familiar one to me–baby paraphernalia + goldfish crackers + freshly scrubbed heads and diapers… the (joking-but-kind-of-serious) reminiscing about the good ol’ days of sitting down with a book in a coffee shop… But also the joy, the exuberance of two little ones running around,  and the exhausted-but-loving-it attitude that you just kind of adopt as you grope your way through the first few weeks of brand-new baby.

And no kidding–Grayson’s mom is an expert at spinning plates–she is not only talented at mommy-ing, but she is very creative and a gifted entrepreneur! See for yourself : My Little Legacies on etsy.

Here are just a few images of little Grayson Elise, in her 8-day old splendor…

…and those exuberant little ones I was talking about? Here they are… the proud big brother and big sister!

It was such a pleasure getting a little peek inside the life of this brand-new family of 5!

santa baby…

December 16, 2009

It’s not unusual to hear me ooh-ing and ahh-ing over a newborn as I am photographing him or her… I’m usually just overcome with the cuteness of the tiny little thing, even as I am shooting! But this little girl was subjected to even more than the standard amount, and that’s because she is my super-sweet, so tiny, and so beautiful and kissable niece. Meet the cutest santa baby I have ever seen, a Christmas eve baby that surprised her momma with an early Christmas gift–her presence in the world! This is Janna, at four days old:

willow meets the world

November 18, 2009

I had been looking forward to photographing sweet Willow for several months… and we knew she was due right around my own little addition, so we sort of had to take the wait-and-see approach. So here she is, at a little over two weeks… so beautiful and such a good baby! (And we share a birthday, so she’s gotta be something special.)

the culmination of a busy fall

November 12, 2009

I’ve worked hard this summer and fall–traveling for magazine assignments, rocking… and photographing… and rocking… and photographing some more sweet babies for private clients, and shooting some pretty sweet commercial jobs. But nothing has compared to the tiny work that was going on inside me the whole time–we finally got to meet the little being that has been my companion on all my shoots, and kiss the little feet that have been keeping a beat for the last several months. Our sweet boy, our Judah, has finally arrived! Meet Jude, all 8 1/2 pounds of him, at four days old:

Photographers : have you ever tried to photograph your own newborn session? I wouldn’t recommend it. I lasted about five minutes before I had to collapse back onto the couch and hope the fifteen shots I was able to get would be decent. I have newfound admiration and respect for all my newborn client mommas!

And a few shots I took a few days before Jude was born–the older brothers:
