i had a session yesterday with the sweetest newborn!  when i arrived at her home she was wide awake – mom said she’d been up for awhile.  we started the session and she was a star – she didn’t cry once, just looked around, i swear she was posing for the camera!  we were able to get some great awake shots:

now, being the mother of two boys, i rarely get to shop for girl clothes.  every now and then, though, i see a hat that i think maybe i could use in a session.  this was one of those hats i couldn’t resist!  it looks so cute on little miss a!

finally, i think we started to wear her out!  i noticed sleepy eyes and a yawn here and there!

And then, she was out like a light!  i just hope she stayed sleeping for mom after i left!

 

let's tell your story

I've photographed every personality type — the shy ones, the hams, the "I hate photos" crowd, all of them.

I know how to find what makes someone tick and pull it right into the frame. The goal is never a perfect pose.

It's a photo that looks so undeniably like you that you can't stop staring at it.
