Noah’s Mommy won a free mini session in one of my Facebook contests… she has a LOT of friends and family. 🙂
Noah was sweet as pie during his newborn session and I adored his long eyelashes. Congrats O Family!
Sweet Dani Laurel was a perfect angel for her newborn session. And she even brought along a photogenic, well-behaved, super proud big sister!
This first shot of Dani on a felt ball rugs is one of my favorite photos to date, I just love the color and her perfect lips. I got some great sibling shots of Dani with her big sister, Ashton… check out those expressions! These girls are going to have so much fun growing up together.
Mama requested a mermaid shot and Dad is a musician and brought in his guitar for Miss Dani to model on. I love to customize personal portraits that are special to the family.
Know what else I love? Baby smiles! Dani flashed me a few big ones!
Sweet Henry Dean is the grandson of my God Parents… so I claim him as my God Nephew. 🙂
He lives in Dallas, so I didn’t get to meet him until he was a month old… a bit out of the “normal” newborn portraiture range. It can still be done, of course, but it requires a bit of extra patience. At a month old, babies usually don’t sleep as deeply and won’t stay as curled as they were in the womb… making posing more difficult and the time span they will remain asleep while being posed much shorter.
But Henry and I came to an understanding and he allowed a few sweet poses. Big brother, however, didn’t want a thing to do with me, my camera, or his little brother. 🙂
I was on location for this session, which I no longer offer because of ALL the gear and props I need access to in my studio. I was also using natural light, which I haven’t done in months but quite enjoyed.
This was a welcome challenge, for sure.
Welcome to the family, Henry!
I had the pleasure of photographing baby Evan at 14 days old. He was a dream to work with and I got to try some really fun props and set-ups. I have a slight prop addiction… my stash is taking over the studio. But I like options!
Sweet Evan, may your dreams always carry you away…
Boyd is the second son of a former Texas Longhorn football player… so you know I loved this shoot! He snuggled with Dad’s UT helmet and jersey… and even rocked a Bevo hat and teeny tiny Longhorn football jersey. As a Texas Ex myself, I was in burnt orange newborn heaven!
To make a good thing even better, Boyd brought his 16 month old brother, Emerson. These two handsome boys were entertaining for sure! Check out their sibling shots… the expressions crack me up.
Speaking of expressions… Boyd even flashed 3 or 4 sweet smiles for me.
It’s official, I have baby fever!
Again.
But… we newborn photographers get it almost every day. Ah well, hazards of the job.
Enough about me, Congrats to the Thomas family!
