sleeping beauty | folsom newborn photographer

It’s hard to believe that just a few weeks ago this little babe was in here. And now she’s actually here and couldn’t be any cuter if you ask me. {S} was 15 days old when I photographed her (which is on the older side for newborn photography) but she was a sleepy little beauty and slept better than some of my six day olds! And don’t you just adore her little ruffle romper? While I usually photograph newborns in their bare skin, I have fallen in love with this little outfit and know I’ll be buying it in more colors for my newborn girls. For my fellow photographers out there, I got this from a friend of mine who has a local boutique and an online Etsy shop. She specializes in “all things cute” and I definitely agree! I get all my pettiskirts and bloomers from her, too. Check out her Chic Baby Rose shop–I know you’ll be drooling over all of the frilly goodness.

And in the meantime, go ahead and drool over all the precious sleepy baby goodness here.

I’m in love | sacramento area newborn photographer

So this is what six days looks like. So fresh, so new, and so adorably snuggly. This little one is by far the most sleepy, cooperative, and precious newborn that I have photographed to date. And I’m not biased at all since he’s my brand new nephew. I cannot describe how much I love little {H}. I think the love that you have as an aunt is probably as close to the love you have for your own children as you can get (I know some grandmas out there are about to argue with me, but I honestly believe it.)

And I think it must mean even more when it’s the child of your one and only big sister. There is a special bond between sisters no doubt. I know that I wouldn’t be where I am today without my big sis. She is the one who shares all of the same childhood memories. She is the one who was there when I gave birth to both of my children and encouraged me, telling me that I could do it when I felt like I couldn’t. She is the one who was there with me at my Dad’s beside when he took his last breathe. And she is the one who knows what it’s like to try to create a life other than the one you had imagined when you lose your Daddy to cancer. She’s the one that understands the joys, the tears, and the beauty of motherhood. She’s my sister and I’m so grateful God gave her to me.

And I just adore the two beautiful boys that she and my brother in law have created. I feel so blessed to live just a mile from them and that to get to watch my nephews grow up.  And I feel so honored that I got to take little {H’s} newborn pictures–he’s such a beautiful little guy and the perfect little model. He didn’t even make a peep the whole time–what a trooper!Blog2Blog3bBlog1d

happy new year | a contest

So it’s officially a new year. Doesn’t feel a whole lot different but it is always exciting to have a fresh start, isn’t it? I can’t wait to begin 2010 and meet all of my new clients. This past year has truly been a blessing–I have had the opportunity to meet and photograph such amazing people–I honestly can say that I have the best clients ever! Thank you everyone for making Megan Squires Photography such a success!

Before I dive into all of my 2010 sessions, I thought I would compile my nine favorite portraits from 2009. I love each of them for different reasons, but they all mean something special to me and when I look that them I still get that “Oh, I love that one!” feeling inside. But now it’s up to you to decide the favorite image of 2009.

The client whose image receives the most votes will get an 11×14 thin wrap (love these–they are new to my 2010 product catalog) from their past session or from a new ‘10 session. And for those who vote–leave a comment on the blog for a chance to win a mini session. It’s a win-win for everyone!

To vote simply scroll through the images at the bottom of the post, select your favorite and then click “VOTE”. If you want to view the images in a larger format, just click on the image. Also, click on the share this button to link the contest to your favorite social networking sites. Easy as pie.

So go ahead, spread the word and cast your vote! I can’t wait to see which image is chosen as the 2009 favorite! (Voting ends at midnight on January 15th.)

{Poll is officially closed–Thank you all for voting!}

angelic | folsom newborn photographer

There is nothing more peaceful than a sleeping baby. A few days back I had the joy of meeting little miss {M} and her adoring family. She was so peaceful, so adorably pink, and so sleepy for me. At first we weren’t sure if we were going to get that deep, snuggly sleep that we as photographers love so much. But then the heavy eyelids arrived and I knew it was a matter of time. In fact, she is my first newborn that has actually fallen asleep on my blankets on her own without any cuddling or snacking. She just drifted off into an angelic little slumber.

burning the midnight oil | rocklin newborn photographer

I’m in the thick of it right now. Knee deep in holiday sessions, editing, and proofing. But I love every minute of it! And I loved every minute of this newborn session last week. I photographed beautiful mama a couple of months back for her maternity photo session and just couldn’t wait for little {M} to come out and join everyone. She decided to come a bit early and I know their family couldn’t be happier–they are so in love with her already and it’s easy to see why.blog-1aShe definitely wanted to stay awake and join in on our fun, but we were able to get some great shots during the sleepy moments that she did have. I just love this next one–she totally posed her little feet all on her own.blog-22{B} family–thank you so much for choosing me to photograph this amazing time in your life. I always have such a great time with you (and the Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino was an added bonus!) Looking forward to our family session in a few weeks!
