I just love getting to see how these tiny little babies blossom into little people.  This is Joseph, who I last saw when he was 2 weeks old, but you can sure tell it is him.   Joseph has bloomed into a happy curious little guy.  He had a great time exploring the park and while my camera was the least interesting thing there for sure, he still managed to give me a few smiles between strides.

This little guy was so snuggly and curly.   Mom filled his tummy full and there was no waking this little guy.  At the end of his session we tried to wake him up but he was not happy about the idea.

Oh my heavens, this little blessing was so much fun to photograph.  We have incredible weather here right now, so little Reece did his first photo session in the park.  Such a gorgeous little guy, not hard to see why mom, dad and big sister are crazy over him.

The beauty of an outdoor newborn session is the best of both worlds.  Some fun unique outdoor looks coupled with some timeless studio shots.

Reece’s big sister  loved the idea of a session at the park and dragged daddy off for some fun.

She was not too interested in having her picture taken, but did give me one quick smile in the end.

Wiggly little guy from yesterday.  He didn’t have much interest in sleeping and was quite a little wiggle worm, though we did get a little snooze out of him.  Most of the time he was so alert .   I thought at any minute he might crawl away.  He was strong as a little ox.  At one point, I tried to get him to settle on his tummy, but instead of resting his head on his arms he held himself right up.   His daddy was hoping for lots of awake shots, and Steele was happy to oblige.

this little guy was sacked out good during his session, and perfectly happy to sleep where ever.  I think he would have stayed balanced on daddy’s arm all afternoon given the opportunity.   Poor little guy had weepy eyes from a clogged tear duct , but even with all the pestering and wiping he was content to keep on sleeping - or he was trying to ignore us and hope we went away.   I loved his darling little button nose and perfect little lips.

This little peanut is surrounded by love.  It sure is not hard to see why everyone is so smitten over her.  Baby Kate has two adoring big brothers who loved being part of every second of her session.   Miss Kate did awesome and even gave up some smiles for us.

This gorgeous little babe is miss Alynna.   She started off wide eyed but ready for some zzzz’s but a little “peeker” at first.  Eventually she  settled into a nice solid sleep and let us play.  Look at her gorgeous hair and lashes!

Anya Coleman: Fantastic shots!!!Lovely!

it is always so much fun to get to photograph the new siblings of children I photographed when they were new.  This sweet little peanut is Milia, her brother Maverick was photographed as a newborn 21 months ago.  Sorry no pictures of him today, he in no uncertain terms told us “not a chance”.  Look how much Malia looks like her big brother though.  She has little rosebud lips and a rosier complexion then Mav did oh and a bit less hair too but you can sure tell she is his little sis.

Meet Hudson, just 7 days old. He had the sweetest little smile and the most gorgeous skin. He was so much fun to photograph and once we got him to sleep he just kept on snoozing through out it all.

This little guy had no interest at all in sleeping for his session, and every time we though whew he is out, pysch!

He was ever so sweet and did eventually tire of us and decide to take some zzz’s.
