Welcome to the World

One of my favorite assignments these days is photographing newborns.  Sure it can be a messy job, but I am rewarded with the perfectly still, serenely beautiful portraits at the end of each session.  Little Ellie surely wins the award for cooperation.  She slept like a log 90% of the time we were shooting.  It allowed me to be a little more creative & gave the chance to put Ellie in various set-ups.  But this first shot is one of my favorites- I even like her belly button scab.  It tells the viewer just how new she is to the world!

I noticed this gorgeous wooden table the couple has in their living room.  I liked that it was raw wood, unfinished but beautiful in it’s basic state.  I thought the contrast would be nice again the soft pink skin of a newborn.

Kalyn has taken to motherhood extremely well, she  is already a wonderful mother.  I’ve gotten to know Kalyn quite well over tha last few months as we’ve worked together on a project for Style Me Pretty (we will unveil mid-April!)  She owns the wonderfully creative paper & stationary company, Lilah Paper.  If you need paper goods for your event or simply beautiful new letterhead, she is the person to talk to! 

Brand new papa bear :)  I love seeing a new father gently embrace his first child.

Again on the wooden table with a different texture- I think I prefer this one.  And this time I caught a brief smile!

I pulled back & threw on my telephoto lens for this family shot.  I wanted to capture something intimate without being too close.  This was achieved by ‘leading into the shot’ & encouraging my family to snuggle.
