Newborn Baby Girl

I am so lucky to have been in NJ last month when my newest niece was born. She had a hard time settling into a nap for her photos, so we finally swaddled her up tight and she finally gave in and fell asleep. (I also sent my sister into her room to take a nap, too!)

She is absolutely beautiful, don't you think?!?

 My sister made these two hats!

Thank you to Little Purple Dragonfly for this awesome flower headband.

The blanket in the next image was my sister's blankie so I had to make sure I used it in a few pictures.

BIG yawn!

A Few Tips for Newborn Sessions:

• Always schedule them early to make sure I have your due date on my calendar.
• They are best within the first 14 days of life.
• They can last from 3-4 hours to allow for feedings, diaper changes and falling asleep time.
• Clothing is optional - hats, headbands, bows, blankets, and diaper covers are fantastic. Look on Etsy for some great handmade items for your session.
• Have a black or white long sleeve shirt or tank top available for any adult that may be used as a prop for the baby.
• They make a great gift! I do offer gift certificates. :)

Sweet Baby Boy

This little boy was so sweet. I have photographed his big brother a couple times, so I was thrilled to be able to take his newborn pictures. It took him quite a while to fall into a deep sleep. Once he did, I took a few different shots of him from different angles. When we tried to reposition, he woke right up. This is one reason that newborn sessions are generally longer.

This sweet little boy just slept and slept and slept for me! It really is best to take newborn photos in those first 14 days of life. The earlier the better. Contact me early to schedule your newborn session. :)

Little Miss C and big brother Mr. C! I was so glad when their parents asked me to come back and take pictures of their newest addition. I took pictures of big brother a couple times in the past. Such a sweet baby girl. Big brother didn't want much to do with me (or her) that morning, but I snuck in a couple photos of him anyway!
