All things Baby

I Just found another great inspiration blog for baby photographers -- www.allthingsbaby.biz. In addition to great visual inspiration, they do giveaways - like this week's photography posing guide from Willette Designs. Check it out!

1 Week Old

Well, I have a lot of catching up to do with my photo editing of Graham. But, here are some of my favorites from his very first photo shoot, at one week old. It's hard to believe he's now three weeks old!

Introducing Graham Everett!

Two weeks ago - on March 10th - we welcomed our son, Graham Everett, into our family. I can't believe he's already two weeks old! I've been neglecting this blog as I learn to juggle having a newborn and a 2 1/2 year old. It's a challenge, but well worth it.

Already, Graham has been a cooperative newborn model. But before I get to those images, I just want to share a few of my favorites from his first days at the hospital. Enjoy!

Maternity Self Portraits

I'm not sure I've ever taken self portraits before, so this was my first attempt. Since I don't have a remote, I set my camera on a tripod and used the timer. I thought now would be the perfect time to experiment with self portraits. I'm now 36 weeks pregnant and I can't wait to meet our little boy!!
I did cheat a little with this one. My husband came home in the middle of my photo session and I roped him into taking a couple photos, with me directing, of course. Here are the results!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wishing you a happy valentine's day!! I just wanted to share some photographs that I took of my little one this week to celebrate Valentine's Day. She thoroughly enjoyed the heart-shaped lollipop and was quite the little model for me. Usually, she's more reluctant, but this week she proved to be a trooper. Enjoy!
This is one of the few pictures I have of "S" where her eyelashes look so long and pretty -- I love it!!
I also love this image -- we had just gotten about 7 inches of snow the night before, and "S" was having fun looking out the window at the snow. Plus, the light reflecting off the white snow really adds to this indoor photo!

Pre-baby Winter Special!

In anticipation of my March 23rd due date, I'm offering a winter special on all sessions booked and held before March 1st. For a $50 session fee (a $100 value), you'll receive a family session for up to four people and a $25 print credit. The total savings is $75! Please contact me if you have any questions, would like to schedule a session, or want to discuss themes and possibilities, such as sessions with Valentine's Day themes, outdoor winter landscapes, or an indoor lifestyle focus.
