Last night I visited an awesome new park and an even more awesome baby boy. {J} is just four months old but is already so full of personality. And I could not get over his eyes–they are the most beautiful shade of blue and are so expressive. 
I just love this next image because I know Mom will look back at it when he’s older and remember those early days when {J} was cutting his first tooth.
Mom brought so many great ideas and props with her. I LOVE this chair and hope to get a few for my own collection. And how convenient was it that there just happened to be a sand volleyball court at the park we were at? Seriously, it looks like he’s actually enjoying an afternoon at the beach! I love it!
This next image is one of my favorites of {J}. I told you his eyes were so expressive!
I just can’t get over the pouty lips in this last image. Baby features are so perfect and {J} was no exception.
Mom, thank you so much for spending the evening with me! You have such a precious little boy and he was a doll to photograph. I hope you enjoy your sneak peek–I’ll have your online gallery up soon!
Every time I photograph a newborn I get “baby fever”. I just can’t get over their smell, their adorable little noises, and snuggliness. There really is nothing like the innocence of new life.
I just love baby {A’s} little swoopy mouth in this image.
Doesn’t she just look great in purple?
{O} family–I had such a great morning with you. Thank you so much for welcoming me into your home to photograph your adorable new addition. And Mom, I’ll be emailing you about playgroup–I have a feeling that {I} and my Abby will become great friends. Enjoy your sneak peek and I’ll have your online gallery up within the week!
Even when we switched out our backdrops {M} stayed fast asleep and snuggled down into her new pose.
I love how bendy and curly one week old babies are.
This was one of our last images and I just love her big yawn.
Baby features are so amazing. Mom and I were talking about how you could just stare at her all day long.
{W} family–I had a wonderful day with you! And tell {J} that when I’m looking to hire an assistant in a few years I’ll be giving be giving him a call–what an awesome big brother and wonderful helper! I hope you love your sneak peek of your precious little one. I’ll have your online gallery up for you within the week. In the meantime, enjoy!
{J’s} oldest son reminds me so much of my Jacob. He is so outgoing and friendly and took to me right away (and I did to him as well). He pretended not to like the camera at first, but I knew better. I got so many amazing shots of him but this series was my absolute favorite. I love how you can see the individual seed “parachutes” falling off of the dandelion. So cool!
{J’s} youngest son is more reserved with such a sweet spirit about him. He was all about the nature around us, collecting his “fuzzies” and hunting for lady bugs. I had so much fun getting to know him.
And right after I took this picture I knew it would be my favorite. These two are such awesome people and I’m so glad to have their family in my life.
{J}, I hope you loved your sneak peek! I’ll have your online gallery up by the end of the week. It was so wonderful spending my Sunday afternoon with you–let’s plan a bbq soon so our kids can hang out! I just have a sneaking feeling that {I} and Jacob will hit it off, too!
