Oh, how I love to photograph newborns and young babies. Despite the fact that they frequently don’t go how I plan, the images that result make me sigh: the toes and nails that aren’t completely formed, the puckered little mouth, the sleepy yawns (as I wear them out) and the unpredictable poops and pees that come along with trying to photograph a naked infant. Meet Myles, Hannah and Leo – quite new to this big world of ours.

I had to include this one, too, because I just love it so much. Right now Kelby is into Garfield, sharks and almost any other kind of fish. Kelby’s conversations recently centered around Bionicles and Pokeman cards so these topics are much more interesting.

I have not been blessed with very many newborns to photograph yet so I was thrilled when Sarah and I found each other on Craig’s List. We did maternity photos for Sarah first and then, last Friday, I met this little sugar-plum. She sure wasn’t sleepy (most kids are not when they come to my studio) but we still managed these beautiful images.

Emerson & Annaliese

March 29, 2009

I finally got to meet my newest great-niece, Emerson, who is already nine months old, and was lucky to get some really fun photos of her and big sister, Annaliese. Gosh, I love to photograph babies. I did this “on-location” at my sister’s house this past weekend in Cedar Rapids. Both of the girls have such beautiful, blue eyes. Emerson was just delighted to play with her tongue & the pearls and to make funny faces at me.

Later, I was amazed at how easy Emerson fell asleep laying in her Daddy’s arms with everybody talking around her. We were lucky to arrive there just before the snow started and then returned today in the bright sunshine.

Meet Alivia

March 2, 2009

I haven’t had the fun of photographing a baby girl for a while so, I was really looking forward to meeting three-month-old Olivia. Cori, her mom, and I got to try out my new hats and doesn’t she look enchanting in them?
