I had planned to do a tucked in pose here, but he just looked poked too cute sitting on the top of it all, I just had to leave him like that for the photos. I love seeing his little ankles crossed like that. šŸ˜

My beautiful niece is going to be a senior in the fall, but I didn’t want to miss our chance to utilize the gorgeous flowering spring trees, so we got a head start on senior photos. It was a little chilly, and the sun was in and out of the clouds, but we made the most of it, but we stopped at three different locations and took WAY too many pictures…especially considering we are still planning to do an actual full session somewhere else this summer or fall. I’m not mad about it though. She’s not only fun to photograph, but she’s fun to be around. Her personality is captured so well in this series of photos/video.

She was getting cold, so in an effort to get her moving and warmed up, I told her to skip toward me, and she was so quick to oblige. I honestly expected her to sneer and act like it was a stupid idea, but she ran with it, even being overly animated and sarcastically funny, exclaiming ā€œoh my gosh, I’m having so much funā€ as she exaggerated every step of her skip and twirl. It ended up making the most fun images of the day, that really captured her natural beauty and lighthearted spirit.

This boy made me fall IN LOVE with these little sweater sets. It’s such a cute look, with the matching bottoms. After this session, I’ve started slowly stocking up on different colors. As you might know, I style my milestone club sessions to match the newborn session, so that you get a full year of cohesive images that show baby’s growth. That’s why I was so excited to find out they make these sets in sitter size too. So, of course I got this color in the bigger size, so I have a set that matches this set, which we can use for his milestone session(s). I’m excited to be able to expand my collection with more options for newborns that will also grow into their milestone sessions with them! šŸ˜

If you’d like to see the other colors I’ve gotten so far, add a šŸ’™ in the comments.

Back in November, one of my fav prop vendors started selling little blankies with their sheet sets, for their tiny beds, and the name ā€œBlankieā€ immediately gave me Charlie Brown vibes. I couldn’t hear that word without envisioning Linus with his blue blankie snuggled up by his face. That inspired this pose, and I have to say, I fell instantly in love with it! That led to me making little quilted blankies to use for this shot too, and I just cannot get enough of it! My friends started noticing other photographers using this pose in their sessions, and decided they’d start a hashtag in my honor. It’s amusing, to say the least, but it’s also flattering and exciting to see other talented photographers finding inspiration in my work. I love seeing this pose pop up in my feed, more and more, as time goes on. It’s definitely becoming a staple in my workflow.

If you’re a photographer following me, I’d love it if you use the hashtag on your version of this pose so I can enjoy seeing it shared across the world. ā¤ļø And please don’t be offended or turned off by the audio on this reel. I just thought it was funny. 😁

This boy was the golden child of my week. He was just so good to me, and has such a sweet little face! I love how this golden fabric just melted around him like it was part of him. He’s clearly meant to be swathed in gold.

I don’t know if it’s because this session had a fishing theme, or just because my imagination is out of control, but whenever I look at that first photo, the bed looks like one of those little fish from the old school magnetic fishing game, about to gobble up this sweet baby boy. Lol. Who knows what I’m talking about? Can you ā€œseeā€ it? Maybe I’m crazy. Who knows. Lol.

I’m still looking for a baby girl for this coming Thursday or Friday (April 2nd or 3rd)

Details:
- I need a Baby Girl, born March 5th or later
- Model calls include your choice of three high resolution digital images of your choice, meticulously retouched, with full printing rights.
- A signed model release is required.
- I do ask for a $250 retainer, which is just to ensure that you show up. It is FULLY REFUNDED as long as you show up and complete the session. (Unfortunately, I’ve had people not show up, then I’ve wasted my time and effort prepping and waiting when I could have booked a paid session for the day.)

Additional Details:
- You will have the opportunity to purchase additional images in sets of 5 images for $250, or professional print products, but you are not obligated to buy anything, and I will not hard sell you. It’s not my style. Lol.

If you are interested, please message me a photo and baby’s birthdate.
If you know someone who might be interested, please feel free to share!!!

Do you know what the worst word is that you can say to a photographer? Normally, it’s the word ā€œjustā€. No matter which genre you’re in, weddings, families, seniors, newborns, etc, the word ā€œjustā€ often seems to diminish the perceived effort required to fulfill clients’ wishes. Although, it is very rare that the amount of effort required is actually any more minimal than the norm.

We’ve been trained, by the English language, to shy away from ā€œjustā€ because it has a negative connotation of being ā€œless thanā€, but in the last year I’ve started noticing that ā€œjustā€ is often people’s way of saying they want something Simple and minimalistic, yet still special for their baby. They still want the thought and the care that goes into making beautiful images, and that thought and care is something I would never operate without.
With all of that said, I have been building a new newborn session option called Simply Baby! This option will be monochromatic and minimalistic, with extra focus on capturing those up close details.

If you’re looking for a session that is Simple, streamlined, special, and absolutely stunning, this option is JUST for you!

I’ll still be offering my normal sessions, with thoughtful, customized, and personalized styling, with unique sets and handmade outfits and accessories, so have no fear.
If you’re pregnant, or just had a baby, and want to know more details and book a session, contact me. I book by due date, and session dates are chosen after baby is born, so you are free to (and encouraged to) book before baby is born.
