Vivienne {ducklings}
One of my favorite things about photographing newborns is capturing
their personality! Most people think that tiny babies just eat, sleep
and poop. And while that is mostly true, each baby is so unique and it
comes out in their photos. I especially love editing newborn sessions.
The more time I spend looking at their sweet little faces, the more I
fall in love with my client's tiny ones. Now I have my own tiny baby to
photograph! I love snuggling Vivienne and taking care of her and kissing
her tiny cheeks, but there is something so fun about having some freeze
frame photos of her lovely sweet little self that melts my heart and
makes me fall even deeper in love with her. Plus she has quite the
personality! She is always making us laugh with her goofy faces and she
loves to smile (not sure if they are real smiles or just gas, but she
loves to do it).
These photos have been a work in process. A newborn session usually takes a couple hours because of the diaper changing, the posing, the feeding and the rocking to sleep. Imagine how much harder it is to do all that AND be the one taking the photos! Especially after giving birth via c-section. The day that we did the photos in the mailbox, I just let her nap inside the mailbox when we were done taking photos because I didn't want to disturb her once again by taking her out! We've done a little bit here and there instead of one session devoted to Vivie's newborn photos. One day I was concerned that I'd miss getting photos of her at this age because she was a little uncooperative one day and my mom said, "That's ok. Just take more photos tomorrow. You own her!" So true! So good luck, little miss Viv! You're a photographer's daughter... that means that everyday is a photo shoot day!!!

I made this tiny hat because I thought it would be colder when Baby Bird was born, she's only worn it for photos because it's been so warm!
Mid sneeze
I also made this tiny hat. Viv looks like a boy in these photos so...
... I gave her a flower to make her more girly!
Dylan: 1 year {ducklings}
We got to do Dylan's one year photo session on his actual one year birthday! I have loved shooting for this family over the past year. It's such a special thing to be able to be a part of the first year milestones in a baby's life. From newborn photos, to six months photos when the baby is sitting and more active, to holiday photos and now Dylan is one! Of course we had to celebrate his first birthday with a big 'ole Birthday cake! Dylan had a birthday party with his family and friends the next day. It was "Sock Monkey" themed, so of course we had to take some photos with his little sock monkey friends so I could email a few photos to his parents to show off at the party.
