Dream Nursery | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

I am so exited to announce that Lucy’s Dream Nursery was chosen to be featured on the new Onto Baby Blog!!!  It got so many wonderful reactions when I first posted the images from her session, I knew I had to get it published somewhere.  It was just *too* beautiful not to, and her mom and dad worked way too hard (especially mom) to design it.  🙂  So in bigger form, I give you the most beautiful nursery I have ever had the pleasure of photographing in – the Dream Nursery.

Sweet Baby C. | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

While I was in Connecticut doing Samantha’s newborn session, I received an email from C.’s mom asking if I had availability for a newborn session for her new baby boy who was 14 days old.  Being the crazy photographer that I am I told her that I could do the session the next day.  🙂  So on snowy gray (but bright!) Sunday morning I packed up all of my stuff and headed up to Federal Hill for their newborn session. C’s family lives in a beautiful condo with an entire wall of windows.  What we dream of when we go to people’s houses.  And though C. fought hard to stay awake, thanks to some truly awesome rocking by grandma he finally settled down after an hour or so and let me shoot.  How handsome is he???  And check out that gorgeous skin – I don’t think I have ever met a two week old with such perfectly clear skin.  That is not editing people, that is all him!!  So so gorgeous!  Congratulations, N. family, grandma is right – he is just perfect!!

Welcoming Samantha | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

When you get married, you tend to inherit the friends your spouse had before they married you.  In a way, really, you date them along with your spouse, and then you end up in the extended family that comes with the marriage.  Two such friends that I was lucky enough to inherit just had their second baby a few weeks ago.  So this past weekend we packed up the car with all of my newborn stuff, the kids and both of us (a very tight fit in a Tucson) and headed to CT for the day for Samantha’s newborn session.  Samantha is equally as gorgeous as her big brother is handsome, and you can tell that our friends are just SO happy.  Their little family is complete.  And they are perfect.  🙂

Welcome, baby R. | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

Typically I do my newborn sessions when a baby is one to two weeks old.  Like my last post – she was seven days.  The reason for that is that after two weeks, the babies tend to wake up more and not curl as well.  Sessions are often longer and more difficult for this reason.  But I still take sessions even when the baby is more than two weeks old!!  This little guy from Sunday was close to three weeks when we did his session.  Unfortunately his mommy was turned down by another photographer for his age.  Their loss – my gain!!  Look at this little cutie!!  I mean, sure, it was more difficult.  He woke up more and was less settled and less easy to bend and pose.  But he still did great!!  🙂  So for the photographers out there, don’t be afraid of babies over two weeks!!!

Now that I have that off of my chest 🙂  Baby R was such a little love!!  He did calm down and sleep for me two different times and even when he was awake he was pretty relaxed once he had a nice full belly and when he wasn’t perfectly calm, I was able to capture wonderful mommy interaction photos.   LOVE.  As you can see, we had a great time.  I might have to add “newborns with dogs” to my offerings.  Their two dogs did great just like baby R.!!  Though granted, I am sure it was more dad’s hand signals and knowing they were going to get a treat but I prefer to think it was me.  Hahaha!

Thanks for having me out, K and M!!  It was SO great to meet you and your little guy.  Enjoy!!

Sweet Seven Days | Rhode Island Newborn Photography

J. and her husband contacted me back when she was only about 19 weeks pregnant or so and booked both a maternity and newborn session with me to document their pregnancy and their new precious baby girl.  Back on a very cold and very rainy gray December day, we did their maternity session at Roger Williams (you may remember them from THIS post.)  J. was absolutely gorgeous then at 32 weeks, so I shouldn’t have been at all surprised when their sweet baby girl came along and was just as beautiful!  I went out to their house this past Saturday for her newborn session and at all of seven days old she did GREAT!!!  In four hours, she woke up once, cried, ate and went right back to sleep after nursing.  She let me move her and pose her and do so many different things.  Now usually if the baby sleeps the entire time I can be done in about two hours.  But we just kept talking and I just kept finding more shots.  Their house provided a beautiful backdrop to photos!  And her nursery – oh my goodness gorgeous.  Hand down the prettiest I have *ever* seen.  I put in a little collage so you can see all of the hard work that was done by her mom and dad to put this nursery together.  So much love for this little girl – you could just feel it.   There are a few extras in this sneak peek for all of you with baby fever  😉

J. and J., enjoy her.  She is absolutely perfect!!!

And P.S. – in a sentimental thing for me, the one photo in here of L. laying in a wooden bowl on a table – that is my grandmother’s dough bowl from 1952.  Not a replica like so many others you see in photos.  Unfortunately, she passed away the day before this session at the age of 93.  So being able to use it here with this baby; extra extra special.
