A few months ago I was contacted by J. to photograph her newborn whenever he or she decided to arrive.  I was excited because she listed one of my absolute favorite clients as how she heard about me.  Then last week I got the email that baby L. had arrived a few days early so I set out to photograph her last week.  At all of five days old she was just about perfect.   And so were mom and dad (mom looked absolutely FAB).  One of those really sweet, fun couples and families who I love to photograph.  Although it took L. a while to settle down we got some beautiful awake shots with her and then some sleepy ones as well.  I was also able to get some shots that I just absolutely adore with mom and dad.  Sometimes, it’s actually nice to have an awake newborn – as long as I have a willing mom and dad.  😉  (And I get extra snuggle time with them to get them calmed down too, score!)

Not only was her family very cool, L’s nursery was absolutely beautiful with very special and personal touches and unique furniture.  On a second visit a few days later, I got a few extra shots in there as well.  One of the things I always tell people is that if they have something special or sentimental, have it on hand and we will try to get it in the photos.  J. had the baptismal gown from her great great grandmother hanging in the room, so we had to include it in a picture.  It was just a stunning gown and such a special thing to have – I wish I had something similar for my children.

J. and T. thanks so much for having me over (and back again).  L. is just absolutely precious – enjoy her!!

I have several more newborns coming up so if you want baby fever, I’ve got it!  🙂
