Sandra Turns One

Here's happy little Sandra for her final of her first year sessions.

For her first birthday session we started off with her party dress.

 And moved on to the ballerina tutu with her birthday background

 Then changed it up, putting on her birthday hat and adding some balloons

 Finally bringing in the birthday cake. Here she is when she was finished with her cake.

Happy Birthday Sandra!

Tiny Tots

 Here are several photos from a couple of recent sessions with 6 - 8 month old babies. 

For little Laylah, we did the baby bottom,

angel baby, tutu, and fairy photos. 

 For Sandra's second photo session  we did the ballerina tutu, rub a dub tub, angel baby and fairy shots as well as her baptismal photos which I used to create photo favors for the guests at her celebration.

Welcome Maeson

Here is 6 week old Maeson in his detail photo that will be part of his welcome package.

This image will also be included in his digital birth announcement along with the image of Maeson and his mom shown below.

Because he is of the Native American culture his Grandma asked if I would take a heritage photo with Maeson holding an Eagle feather

Welcome Baby Leo

At 2 weeks old, I photographed this little cutie in his first professional photo session.

New for this year, I will present the parents of each newborn session that I photograph with a custom designed digital birth announcement to share with friends and family members over social networking sites and by e-mail.

As with all newborn sessions, these images are done "low key" with dark backround and clothing which allows the new baby to stand out.

I also always take a few dad and baby photos,
mom and baby photos
holding baby photos,

and finally baby with props images.

Mom liked the baseball theme

and as most people also liked the angel baby photos.

Little Leo did a great job with his first session.

Welcoming 2 new baby girls

Here's Becky, big brother Chase, and welcoming baby Caileen.

Dad wasn't too keen on being photographed but allowed this shot which emphasised his tattoo.

Here is Chase and his new baby sister.

And some fun poses

Newborns - One Year Old - and a Yorkie

My weekend began with a newborn session for Samuel. 3 week old Samuel is a pretty big.

Here he is with his mom, dad, and big sister Natalia.

Here's my favorite. Angel Baby

Daddy's little Red Soxer
Natalia loved the little doggie that I brought along for the session

From there it was off to see one year old Tavi for his First Birthday Session.

Tavi to date is is the smallest newborn I've ever photographes. He was just over 5 lbs during his first photo session. Here he was then.

One year later. He's grown wonderfully!

He was so funny singing along and dancing to the music.

The hat lasted for a couple of shots.
He really liked the cake eating part of the session and had no problem digging in.

Happy First Birthday Tavi!
From there - yes it was a busy Saturday - it was off to see 6 day old David Alexander fro his debute photo session. Here's the Little Prince.

A boy and his dog.
