Lilly did such a great with her new little sister, Blakely! She was very curious as to everything, asking a lot of questions. It was fun having her around. And y'all, don't be shocked, but I'm LOVING these whites and off white.
Since the weather has been warming up, we decided to do their family photos in my backyard. I may have to do this more often.
Meet Miss Lillian!!
Aren't those lips delicious?
And those eyelashes!!!
Meet Miss Adelai! Isn't that the prettiest name?
You know I was excited when I saw that little bit of red hair. How gorgeous is that?
And that sweet smile with a little dimple showing!!
Austin and Sarah lived in San Angelo for a bit. We even have some mutual friends. It was nice to chat about my home town.
After a spending a few weeks in the NICU, I got to meet these two identical twins, Tobiah and Uzziah.
Big brother, Braiden's first time to hold both boys at once. I think he's going to love having little brothers.
This darling family met me in Sudan from Amarillo for Ella's newborn session. Ella has the most gorgeous dark hair. And mom let me play however I wanted.
The night before this session, I had an itch to craft, so I made a little stop to Joann's and found these purple flowers.
Ella made the most funny faces during family photos.
For this newborn session, I drove out to Sudan and used my good friend Laryn's studio. To be honest, I was a little skeptical of the idea. It's always a little nerve racking to shoot somewhere you are not familiar with. BUT OH was I in for a TREAT!! I LOVE her studio!! In fact, I think I might move in! Just look at these 3 precious kiddos!
I don't think I've ever had 2 kids this age that were so good. They did EXACTLY what I asked them to. We were finished with them in 3 minutes. Mom's doing something right.
And look at their lastest addition, Miss Kinley. I'm dying over that blonde hair.
Meet Mr. Graham Riley!!
Love me some baby feet!!
I bought this black fabric MONTHS ago with the intent to try this pose. I always save it for last and I never get it. With Graham, I was determined to try it. I love the was it turned out, all safe in daddy's hands.
I think someone KNOWS he's got his momma wrapped around his finger. Look at that smile!
Meet Little Miss Audrina!!
I was a little skeptical of how well her session would go because was a few days past that 5-11 day sweet spot, but she did so good!!!
I did put her in my ninja swaddle (having 4 babies of my own, I've got that one down). That helped put her to sleep.
Congratulations, Amber!! She's beautiful!!
I had the best time playing with these two boys. Meet Mason and Chance, the Roberts twins.
Chance....
and Mason
The boys have identical twin cousins that came to do a few photos with them. Aren't they are adorable?
The girls stuck around for a good bit of the session. I gave them a few jobs, and they were really quite helpful with the boys.
One of the girls asked their uncle, "How can you tell the babies apart?" He told them, "just like we can tell you two apart." Her response, "You mean one has bangs and one doesn't?"
With most newborns, I'm trying my hardest to get them to sleep, but I'm glad Elizabeth stayed awake long enough for me to catch her gorgeous eyes.
Those lips!!!
I adore those baby smiles.
Oh, David!! Isn't that smile just priceless?
I normally photograph newborns at my home studio by my big window, using the natural light, but for David, we went to a different studio here in Lubbock, and I used studio lighting for the first time. I have to admit, it was fun to try something new.
His eyelashes are just gorgeous!!
Little baby Klaire: Isn't she adorable?!?!
And all that dark HAIR!! Isn't it awesome?!?!
With three older siblings, Klaire has plenty of little people in her house to take care of her. They were arguing over who got to hold her.
10 perfect little toes!
I love it when I catch a little half smile in a photo.
Welcome to the world, sweet baby girl!
My first set of twins!! I can't tell you how excited I was to photograph these two darlings. We originally had their session scheduled a couple days after Christmas, but then the Historic Lubbock Snowpocalypse happened. Between all the snow (we literally could not leave the house) and a cough I was struggling to get over, I was starting to wonder if this newborn session was going to happen. They were born 10 weeks early, but I still wanted to get them in as soon as possible. But finally, New Years Day, my first session of the new year, at 7 weeks old, we were able to photograph these precious babies.
Harrison slept like a dream and has the most gorgeous eyes!
And then there's Hazel. Aren't those eyelashes beautiful?
I absolutely feel in love with the family! I'm hoping they come back for their one year session. I'd love to see how these two grow over the next year.
Little man Wake! Isn't he a doll all bundled up in his papoose?
A couple weeks before Chelsi's due date, she came over and I made a belly cast of her growing belly. I've been wanting to use a maternity cast as a prop for a newborn session for a while, so I was WAY pumped about it. I LOVE the way baby Wake perfectly fits in his momma's belly cast.
He peed a couple times while in the prop, but not a drop got on him or the cast. Boys!
Dad is a coach at a private school here in Lubbock, so we thought it was fitting to have a photo of him, baby Wake, and a football, of course.
Dad was a bit nervous about holding Wake without a diaper on, but mom was the one who got hit. She was totally cool about it, though. They're going to do great with this little baby boy!
Can't get enough of his little squishy face!
Those lips!!
Meet Baby Reese!!! I have so many favorites from the session. I just had to share them all.
So many favorites, I decided to use her session to make one of my sample albums. Make sure you ask to see it when you're in the studio. It's so pretty!!
Mom said she has a little light pink in her nursery. I can't resist creating images that will perfectly match a baby's room.
Right before we got these images of Reese on the white blanket, she pooped all over it, then settled into this perfect sleep. I decided moving her was not an option. So in the original images, there's a lovely trail of yellow under her. Thank you Photoshop!
Cousins!! I love these smiles!
Meet the darling Miss Hadlee!!
Hadlee is baby #4 to one of my favorite friends from my MOPS days.
I did Miss Blondie's newborn photos years ago when I was just learning about newborn photography. I have to say, I was surprised by how dark her baby sister was.
Isn't she just gorgeous?!?
Every once in a while I'll catch a baby a just the right second and get their sweet dreamy smile. Little Miss Lacey gave me this awesome shot. How can you look at that without smiling?
I love her little fingers, even with the broken nail. Those little nails are so hard to clip. It brings back memories of my babies.
I couldn't let Christmas get by without sharing Miss Delanie's darling Santa baby photos!! Thank you to whoever made this Santa hat. It totally made my day.
Delanie did NOT want to fall asleep. I have no idea how she stayed awake for so long. We tried everything to get this sweet baby to sleep.
I do love the awake photos, but I didn't want mom to only have awake newborn photos. We HAD to get that Santa photo. (I'm a very determined and patient woman. Did I mention determined?).
Big brother even held out for a few minutes to get a shot. That's not easy when you're 2!
I got this scarf at a white elephant Christmas party a few days before the shoot. Some people see a scarf, I see a newborn wrap!
This luggage is Delanie's great grandmother's. She still uses it!
Juliette's mom warned me that she was her most alert baby. I should have believed her. This is her 6th! But I got her swaddled up and I absolutely adore the awake photos.
I was getting a macro shot of her hand, but check out those lips. Perfect timing, Juliette.
More sweet lip puckers!
Such an adorable little girl!! Congratulations, Jenifer!!
It had been a month or so since I had had a newborn session and I was TOTALLY getting the itch. I had a few new bonnets, wraps, and had taken a class so I was dying to implement some new stuff. Hadley did SOOOO good. I could have played with her all day!
The day before her session, I pulled out my craft supplies and made this little pull back. I LOVE it and Hadley was the perfect model.
This class I took was all about minimalism in newborn photography. Just naked baby on white. I'm not sure if I'm ready to break away from my colored props, but OHHH how I loved how these turned out!
