Remember this little guy? His birth was my first session in 2010. I have been meaning to post his photos on my blog but only got as far as posting a few on Facebook and Flickr. I absolutely adore photographing newborns and little Robert let me come play for a couple sessions (once alone and then with the family)
Just a tiny little peanut and my first session with a preemie. This little guy was the sweetest ever and his parents were such a pleasure to work with. I love all the tiny little details captured during this session ♥
2010 is already off to a wonderful beginning. Just 5 days into the new year a precious little boy was welcomed into this world. Being the 3rd child, his parents wanted to wait till his birth to find out if they were welcoming another boy or another girl. I am am extremely honored to be able to share his special birthday, which happens to be the same as my dad, with his family and friends.
A year ago today I shot my very first wedding for my friends Nicole and Nick. Yesterday they gave me the honor to witness and photograph my very first birth as they brought a brand new baby boy into this world. awww =) I have the greatest friends.
Before I went to bed the night before I had no idea I was going to witness the awesome miracle of life. I woke up to the wonderful surprise that my friend Nicole was in labor. We had talked about it soon after she found out that she was pregnant that I could come when it came time for her to give birth but honestly I never really knew for sure if that was going to happen because I have 3 kiddos myself and a hubby who works crazy hours. Despite it all, the timing was perfect and I arrive just minutes before this little guy said hello to this world.
Meeting his big brother for the first time
21st Century Parents
I love all his little facial expressions
Meet baby Jackson. I had a chance to photograph this precious little guy yesterday. He was not much of a fan of the camera but loved the lamb skin. I think he looks like a little angel. All he is missing are the wings =)
Here is a little preview for mom and family. Thank you for letting me play with your little guy yesterday.
I absolutely love it when I get a chance to have an outdoor newborn session which is almost equally exciting as checking out a new location. Our session took place at what has become my new favorite location, the Sonoma Horticultural Nursery.
Baby Lana is just 7 weeks old and I know her parents are anxiously awaiting to see a preview of thier session.
Already it was clear to see the special bond between daddy and his baby girl. One day daddy will look back and remember how tiny his precious girl used to be.
The secret garden
As snug as a lady bug
This bumble bee set is something my mom made for me on mother’s day.
Its been so long since I had a change to play with a brand new baby. This little guy is just 2 weeks old. It wasn’t long ago that I met with his mom for maternity photos. He was bright eyed during most of our session but loved the fuzzy blankets so would take little cat naps when I left him alone.
A new prop: A dear friend of mine made this for me. This was the first time using this little hat. I love the color.
So Peaceful: This little hat was made special by a friend. At this point I wore out this little guy and he was taking a nap.
The Wagon: I have been wanting to use this for a session and finally got a chance 
Meet little Sophia. She was born on the exact same day as my second daughter. That is what I call a great birthday This is my first newborn session completely outside but luckily her mom and grandmother were adventurous. I will post a few more later but here is a little preview.
This precious little angel arrived last week. Yesterday I had an awesome afternoon with Sparrow and her family. She slept through most of the session despite all the heat we had. Since its too hot to do much of anything today I spent the afternoon working. I know her parents are anxiously waiting to see pics so this is a little preview.
If I ever had a boy I would name him Aidan. This precious little guy is almost 2 weeks old
Right before it was time for me to leave Aidan opened his eyes. Already I can see he has a tender soul.
