Omgosh was this little guy ever adorable. We were laughing though because he was the keeper of his smiles, and definitely made us work for them. After a bit he warmed up and then he was fast, so we had to pull out the tricks like tubs of water to contain him. His big brother Austin was such a good little guy and was so patient with us. Thank you Austin you did great! Here is a little sneak peek for mom and dad.

Always so fun to see how my little “baby planner” clients have grown. Miss Marin if full of personality and if their is one word to describe her it is definitely “busy”. Such a little delight, so happy and full of curiosity, I had a blast chasing her about.

ah mother nature decided to throw a wrench into this evening session, no electricity meant no light, no heater, no white noise. He gave me a run for my money, but all in all little Ryan did pretty good and we managed to get some darling shots of him. He sure is a precious little guy.

Oh my heavens, this little angel was so fun to work with. Just 6 days old and just over 6 lbs, Miss Grace slept like an angel only waking for a couple snack breaks in between. Her dad and mom were up for some fun creative shots too, and Miss Grace was happy to oblige. Here is a little sneak peek for her family.

Yesterday I got to to photograph this sweet little bundle! Little Braydon was a amazing and surprised his mom and dad with how great he slept. I had a great time scouring their home for little baskets and bowls, I could get him into. This time is so fleeting, they grow so quickly and how fun it will be years from now when little Braydon comes running into the house to get a banana out of the small fruit basket he fit into when he was so new. The first basket shown here is tiny, they were storing his bottle nipples and an apple in it if that tells you how little it is. Here is a little sneak peek at Braydon.

Miss Josie here was eager to make her appearance to the world and came 5 weeks ahead of schedule. She is just over a month old now, but not due for nearly another week so she is still a peanut. Her mommy did a great job keeping her up, between baths, toe tickles and more diaper changes Miss Josie was ready to have a good sleep when I arrived. Boy was she ever precious. In this first image she is wearing a darling little hat made for her by one of the NICU peeps, isn’t it precious. She LOVED being on her belly and having her hands up around her little face. Here is a little sneak peek at Josie….
