This little peanut was an absolute doll. She slept almost the whole time and was a perfect angel. She was 13 days old when I captured these photos a few days ago. She was a tiny little munckin at birth and she’s doing a great job eating and getting those cute little baby rolls. We did the session at my studio in Kelso. Having the new space is such a dream come true and so far every session I’ve done there has turned out great! While we were there, my dad came over to put up my new backdrop holders and helped me finish the studio area. I am SOOOOO close to being finished and I’ll be taking pics of it tonight!!!

Thanks so much for letting me photograph your precious bundle of joy. I hope you enjoy the preview!

My step-sister Lynsay just had her first baby a couple of weeks ago. I got to take some photos at the hospital for them, but we finally had his first “official” newborn session this last week. He was an absolute perfect model for his aunty. He slept for a good couple of hours and I was able to get a bunch of great photos of him. He’s already model material. We talked about it before he was born so he would be prepared for his crazy auntie who takes lots of pictures. He didn’t seem to mind me much. Thank goodness!!

Thank you Mr. M for being so beautiful and perfect.

I love you little bean. Welcome into this world.

so precious

LOVE this face. Okay maybe it’s “aunty eyes” but he’s so stinking cute when he yawns…

SMILES!!!!

LOVE these

yup, Perfect.

look at those sweet baby rolls…

awwwww

Lynsay’s favorite color is green. We had to include it somehow!!!

My good friend Melea is expecting her second baby (who’s a surprise). I’ve been photographing Melea and her family for quite some time now. She comes to visit from Portland for our sessions. You can see her son here and here.

I can’t wait until her baby is here next month. If all works out, I’ll be doing her birth photos (and of course newborn photos).

As always Melea, it was awesome photographing you. You’re one ‘hot mama’!!

she’s absolutely stunning!

This beautiful family came to my studio from Vader, Washington. It’s just a few miles up the freeway from my new studio in Kelso. I’m not quite moved in to the new space yet. After I finish some final touches, I will post some photos of it. I’m hoping to be done within a week or so, but with all the details, I’m not promising anything!

For this session we met at the local park near my studio and started with some fun outdoor shots. If I haven’t mentioned a million times already, I LOVE newborn sessions. They are among my absolute favorite to photograph. Little man “R” was an absolute perfect baby for me and we got a lot of great photos. I couldn’t resist sharing more than my usual.

After our outdoor session we headed back to the studio for some more photos. Since the weather is turning a bit cooler, we didn’t want to do the entire session outdoors. Don’t worry, we kept him nice and warm outside!!

I hope you enjoy the preview!

The new family.

oh I love the big yawns of new babies

perfect squishy baby!

half smirk!

He was PERFECT!!!!

This couple came all the way from Vancouver for a session with me. I’m always so flattered when people call me from Vancouver and Portland! We originally were going to do the session in Vancouver, but ended up doing it in my new studio. It’s not quite finished, but it was put together enough to have a session. They put me at ease and made me feel good about my new space. It’s coming along quite nicely and I will show photos as soon as it’s all done!

Little Miss “S” is seven weeks and an absolute DOLL.  Normally I do newborn sessions earlier since they sleep better, but she was a perfect angel. We went out to the park to get some nice outdoor family photos and then brought her back in studio to get the rest. Within minutes we had these beautiful images.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful session. I am so excited about these images and excited about my first in studio session!!

She did this the first try. Did I mention she was perfect!!! Look at those perfect little lips…. sigh.

look at those beautiful eyelashes!!

now you can see where she gets her looks. Her mama is absolutely stunning!!

Thanks for looking!!!
