A sneak peak of little Alex, who visited the studio last week, just 10 days old, with a brand new belly button! Aaron and Lucy, he is beautiful!

Here is a sneak peek at images made yesterday of newborn Madeline. Madeline was quite stylish! Just 20 days old in her polka dot dress and matching hair band.
but her ‘dogs’ or her feet were the center of attention for this portrait wanted by her mom Molly.
Awesome idea Molly! thanks for visiting the studio.

Connor James arrived extremely alert in his red car carrier Tuesday.  Blessed with balmy spring weather, his face welcoming the warm soft breeze, his mom said he’s been outside on walks  several times in the first 23 days since birth.  I think al the fresh air gave him a HUGE appetite, as he was very hungry during our portrait session!  Congratulations Ericka and Jim!

Pictured here is my favorite announcement for baby Connor, but his parents preferred a version with three sepia images.

Also made a cool little video:

congratulations to vicki and john on beautiful new addition to family!

Little Sarah was a very cooperative newborn at her portrait session.   Our strategy was to start with Sarah and mom and get some quiet moments of Daddy and Sarah alone. Then, when big brother(age 2 going on 3)  arrived, we would have a quorum, and get everyone in one portrait together!  Of course it is special to get brother and newborn in a touching portrait…Ah, but when the toys are more interesting than that new person in the family…hmm that is when the session took a little bit of extra patience.  We are all happy with the results, we got everything and more than we were hoping for.

I was so glad to talk to new mom who was wanting professional pictures of her newborn baby just a week after he was born!  We made arrangements for the following week–I always make newborn portraits TOP priority.  I know hose first few days with baby are like no other and Dads have only a few paternity days.

So we were able to get portraits of baby Aidan at 15 days old!  Happily Pilar now has her announcements in hand!  The newborn infant portrait session was done at no charge, because we have a policy that we will do Daddy and Newborn portraits within 1 month of baby’s birth at no charge!  I offer this because I  am confident you will LOVE your portraits so much you will want to continue with our very popular Baby First Year in Portriats plan.  And I love making these very special images!
