6 day old Brandon

Ok so I love my job, I love being able to capture those sweet first moments with a baby. Last night,Aaron and Leanna brought in their new baby Brandon, he was only 6 days old. Although I don't think he liked to be naked, a full belly helped in all that. Such a beautiful baby boy. Congrats again Aaron and Leanna,you have a heart breaker on your hands, I know it.

Just a note,if you have a new baby, the best time to take their photos is in the first 10 days as they are still so limber and can be moved into squishy positions more easily. Call me as soon as the baby is born to book your appt or even better, book before you even have the baby to make sure you get an appt.

Here is a small sneak into Brandon's session, I think this is some of my best work yet. I hope you agree.

Kara, a beautiful 5 week old baby girl

So Donna gave birth to a beautiful baby girl a little over 5 weeks ago now and she finally made it in for her photo shoot. Kara has a full head of hair and even though it took a while to console her, we got some great photos.  Here is a sneak into her session

LIttle baby bundle of joy, Madelyn

I had the opportunity to have a little bundle of joy in the studio yesterday and wow she was so attentive. It took a bit to get her asleep but it was finally accomplished after we got a few open eyed pics. Maddy is only 5 weeks old and such a cutie pie. I love taking pics of newborns, so sweet and innocent. Here is a sneak into their session. Thanks Melissa and Jared for getting her here. So glad we had the opportunity to catch some of those memories.

Playing more catch up, Karli McLean

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to capture a few moments in the life of little Karli McLean, she is the daughter of a friend of mine and I was so happy to capture a few moments in her first weeks of being on this earth. Her daddy is active in the Army and just recently got back from Afghanistan last year. She is a true miracle to her parents and I loved taking some pics with her daddy's army stuff. Here is a sneak into the session

Little Tori Sophia Dickinson

I was so excited to see this little bundle of joy. Mom Amanda was very upset that Tori got a bug bite just before her pics were done, but that is the joy of photoshop, took literally a second to remove. What a great sleeper and I have to admit, she was the best baby yet in the studio, slept through the whole session and was so moldable. I just started proofing this one and have to say I love the new Cocoon's that I made. I made this little cocoon on Saturday just for this session, so cute!!!! Well Amanda I was a bit slow on the upload of these so I hope you can understand my lateness on them. I would love to hear your comments. Uggh!!! I hate the coloring on a non calibrated monitor, on my monitor they look great, on this monitor they look blah!!! Oh well

Enjoy

Wow a crazy last few days

Today is my birthday and I have to say that I am lucky to have a dad that deals in cars every once in a while as he currently has a 2005 Corvette in his possession that I got to drive to work today as it is my birthday, boy do I feel lucky!!!! Can't wait for the next one dad, maybe a newer one, hint, hint.

I also had the opportunity to volunteer my time to take pics at the 2nd Annual Barrett Bobcats Variety show on Friday night, even though I haven't had time to go through them yet, I'm sure I got a few good ones out of 179 pics. The Barrett Bobcats are raising money for the Relay for life that is happening this weekend in Woodstock.

Yesterday I had the privilege to photograph a new baby to this grand Earth, Abigail Miller, she is only a little over 6 lbs right now and definately full of energy at 4 weeks old. It took almost 2 hours before she was tired enough to sleep through the picture taking. I just love a baby when they are sleeping, there is something so serene about a sleeping baby, just love it when they look so peaceful. Here are a few pics from my shoot yesterday. I have another shoot tonight so check back soon to see a few of those ones. I totally forgot to mention about my new coocoons that I made on Saturday night, what do you think? I need to make them a bit longer though as they were a tad too short. I probably could put them back on the loom and make them a bit longer so I might have to do that.

Some recent pics of my nieces

I had my nieces up last week to have their pics done again. Always a joy to see them in the studio. I also wanted to post a few pics that I took of Ivy my newest niece over the past couple months and didn't have a chance to post until now. I know shame on me.

Our Saint Patty's Day Ivy Isabel, my new niece

Well Alicia my baby sister had a new baby girl this morning after being the matron of honour in Tanya's wedding on Saturday, Alicia was induced at 8 this morning and Ivy was born shortly after 12. I was really hoping to be there but we didn't make it until 1:30 or so. What a miracle. She is the smallest of Alicia's babies born at 8 lbs 11 ozs. What a blessing little girls are, and I have to say she is just so beautiful. Afton can't wait to dress her up in dresses just like her.

A proud Auntie

Introducing Noah Ebbett

Well I had a great time getting some pics of this new addition. Sarah and Jeff brought over their 11 day old boy Noah, although Noah likes to eat, I think we caught some good ones of him once his belly was full. I hope you like them. Noah you are such a beautiful boy!! I can't wait to see you grow up and be the hockey player that your Mom wants you to be.
