Today I met with miss Sophia. She had been my easiest newborn to date. This little one, just 5 and a half days old, slept so soundly no matter how much I moved her around. What a perfect model!

Thanks mom and dad for having me over! Enjoy your sneak peek!

I met Samantha today on her 8th day of life for her newborn portraits. She fought sleep for a good hour, but once she was out she was putty in my hands.

It was nice hanging out with you today Brett and Maria (and mom!), enjoy your sneak peek!

I love this family. This was my 4th photo session with them and I feel like we are friends now. : ) They just had their 2nd baby, and their new little family couldn’t be any more perfect. Mom has her hands full with 2 under 2!

Here are a few of my favorites of little T!

I could have cuddled this sweet sleeping beauty all afternoon. She slept like a dream for our entire session. Big thanks to mom who booked me early enough to get these sweet dreamy shots and make our session fly right by!

Here are a few of my many favorites!

Meet sweet baby P. She was such a sweet model for me, and slept mostly so good for me.

S&T, it was so nice meeting you, congratulations on your adorable new addition and enjoy the sneak peek!

I just love this blanket her grandma made for her with her initials! So sweet!

I met sweet little Seth today for our photoshoot. He was a super easy little guy to work with and may have been my quickest newborn session to date!

Mom even brought some of her own hats she found on etsy.com to the session! I love when parents bring their own hats and such, it’s nice to change it up once in a while!

Enjoy your sneak peek, M family! Congrats on your new addition, he is perfect!

Today I met one of the sleepiest newborns ever. Jackson was an absolute doll to photograph and was so sleepy and curly during the first half of our session today. I think he decided to let me know he had enough of me and my camera later on when he decided to pee on me! ; )

A&B, your son is perfect. Congrats and enjoy your sneak peek!

Little miss S turned 6 weeks old today. While that is much older than my “typical” newborn, she surprised me and slept for a good part of our session today. What’s great about working with older newborns is the awesome eye contact they are able to give you! What more, she really surprised me when she didn’t even do what you would expect any baby to do without a diaper on (not even once!)  ; )

S&E, it was so nice meeting you today and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

I traveled down to Carlsbad today for a twin (identicals too!!) newborn session. Miss Lily and Sophia are just under three weeks old and slept so good for me today. And to think mama was worried they would give me a hard time ; )

These two little ones are such miracles and were so wanted and patiently waited for. They already have plenty of love from relatives and friends, and I cannot wait to see them grow.

K&K, congrats on your little ones, and enjoy your sneak peek! Thanks for having me over today, it was so fun!

Til next time,

Meet Grace. This little 9 day old beauty was feisty during the first half of our session, but eventually went off into dreamland and proved to be a wonderful model. I could have seriously rocked her all day long.

These parents had such a wonderful home to use as a backdrop, so I tried some different stuff for me.

I had a very hard time narrowing down the images for a sneak peek, so here’s an extra large share.

A&D, congrats on your baby girl. Thank you for having me over today, I had fun!

Friends, family, lurkers, 20 comments on thise post and the family will be gifted a complimentary 5×7.

Til next time,

This first one melts my heart. What a perfect image of a mother/child.
