Baby M

Yesterday you met her parents & if you missed their maternity session you can find it here! Their lil one was due a few days before Christmas! I was excited for a Christmas baby but luckily she came before the holiday madness! I got to photograph her newborn session a good week before Christmas!

I always have my clients get the house nice & toasty before I get there for their newborn session so baby will be more sleepy! When they’re cold they’re more alert & hard to get to sleep. It was so incredibly HOT in their house when I got there that stepping outside felt like stepping into the air conditioning! And we still had a lil heater blowing hot air around too! After some work & us sweating about 15 pounds off, she finally fell asleep & was an angel for the rest of her session!

Here are a few of my faves from the day! Started off with some classic black & whites!

I was in LOVE with this Christmas tutu from Foxy Fawn! She’s on my Vendors I Heart list located over to the left of this post so be sure to check her out!

Such a dollbaby!

Love how they often pose themselves! That’s the advantage of shooting them only a few days old! They still have that tendency to pull their hands & legs up!

We’ve had a super mild winter this year so we decided to take her out for just a couple shots even though it was December! It was really warm that day then the wind shifted right after we went out to blow in a cold front so back inside we went! Cutest lil snowgirl ever!

Love this one! I seriously love the stories behind all my sessions! This face was because she had just crapped, literally, all over the floor while her daddy was holding her! It was probably still dripping while I shot this! Such a proud look on her face! She did it not only once, but quite a few times…add that to an extremely hot house & recipe for a smell disaster! Ha! It wasn’t too bad though, I was breathing through my mouth & not the nose! I don’t do poop or throw up well at all!

Be sure to head over to the Daily Advance’s Baby of Year contest & vote for her! I think she’s the cutest baby ever…but then again I may be just a *tad* biased!

And because her mom is obsessed with photos & documenting this time in her life, she’s already had another session with me at 2 months old this week! That session will be up tomorrow!

I love, love, love when a client turns into a great friend! So thank you Crystal for being such an awesome friend & for trusting me to document one of the best times in your life!
