SO MUCH HAIR! :) Simple Newborn Shoot

Dec

16

This baby needs no introduction. Clearly his hair speaks for itself. 🙂 I LOVE simple newborn sessions. Each one will go totally differently depending on how sleepy they are, when they arrived, etc etc.  When photographing newborns we will do so about day 10 through about day 21 (ish).  We have many come early and have a stay in the NICU, and for those babies we just photograph them once them come home and are settled! Don’t ever be afraid to reach out. We will photograph your baby when we can! Sometimes that means more wrapping, sometimes that means they are awake! Don’t let the “sleepy” rules of the newborn world worry you. There are no rules to remembering your baby….also… I love some good flakey skin…. it’s not there forever!  🙂

GAH. How is Eva old enough to graduate. She will be graduating this Spring of 2026 from Saint Joseph’s Academy (Saint Joe). This hurts my brain. I have known and photographed her since she was little as I’ve known her mom a long time! I love this season I am in with who I’m photographing. […]

I discovered a hidden spot during my son’s soccer practice that would ONLY work for about 15-20 minutes AT sunset, and ONLY if there was sun. I mean…. I GUESS we could do NO sun too…. but the sunset was epic here. Actually, this was late in the season and we had to move spots, […]
