wide-eyed and red-y

Had the privilege of photographing this lovely newborn recently. She had the biggest eyes and greatest red hair for a newborn. She must've been extra excited for her session too, because she stayed awake as long as she could.



But we outlasted her and got some sleeping pictures in the end too.





I love the proud look on big brother's face.





This family may look familiar to you, as they are all over my website. Mom was one of the first people to take a gamble on me as a photographer, and I am so thankful for her faith in me! I may not have gotten to this point otherwise.

precious

Had the most enjoyable session this morning, photographing this beautiful newborn girl.
Parents who trust me to try anything + a newborn who will sleep through anything + such delicate, tiny features = a session that left me happy for the rest of the day.
It was so great to see guys again! Congratulations on your beautiful girl. I know you were eager to see a few of these...and I am eager to share!




look at those lips...







Meet her guardian...




You may recognize this couple from here... and still gorgeous.

i'm glad i waited

For some reason, I had this particular pose in mind during this recent newborn session... but no matter how much I tried, this guy just wouldn't do it! So I actually gave up, since we got plenty of other good shots anyways. But then I stuck around for lunch... and after we both had a bit to eat... he finally cooperated. =) So do you think it was worth the wait?



More to come later...

all smiles

Meet Brady. He is by far the most smiley newborn I've ever met.



Will have to wait until the announcements go out before posting more. =)

Congratulations you guys. Can't wait to show you the rest.

due in july

I got to photograph this mom-to-be yesterday. Baby is due in July, and she is looking great being 7 months pregnant. Here's a sneak peek for mom-and-dad-to-be:




Isn't she gorgeous?


(dad-to-be says he never turns out good in photos, but I think this one is pretty good)



It rained all day and we kept going back and forth about whether to reschedule. But it cleared up for the short time we were taking pictures. Thanks guys for being so flexible, willing to brave the wet conditions, and letting me lead you down random alley ways. =) Looking forward to the newborn session!

new arrival

Life has been very full lately, and I've had to take a blog break (although I probably think about things I want to post several times a day).
But I wanted to squeeze in a post for this recent newborn session, since Mom is probably eagerly waiting. =)
I was so happy to meet Danny, who surprised everyone being a couple weeks early. He is such a beautiful newborn! And completely cooperative during our session. He slept so peacefully, it made my job easy. =)
Thanks Mom and Dad for humoring me and letting me rearrange your entire house. Haha.
I am tempted to post so many good images that we got... but I want to save some for the birth announcements, so here are just a few for now:



the affectionate big brother


ok, enough pictures already...


Lots of other things I want to post... hopefully I'll get a chance to later this week!

another newbie

Our friends have a daughter, M, just a few weeks younger than Hannah. Hannah and M love playing together, and M's mom says Hannah and M "have the same program running" in so many respects. So I was excited to hear that they were expecting another baby, and couldn't pass up the chance to take his pictures. So welcome, little N. So nice to meet you.

strettttcchhh....

can't resist the little feet

already a loving and protective big sister

All Things New

Welcome!! I am excited to finally launch my new blog... I have been a bit slow and shy to enter into the blog world, but here we go...! This will be my place to post my latest photos, sneak previews for clients, inspirations, and other hopefully enjoyable things for you to read and see.

So what better way to kick off my new blog than with some photos of a new baby. After several reschedules, I was happy to finally be able to meet little J for his newborn session. Here's a sneak preview for you S & J -- enjoy!!

At 3 weeks old, J may be getting past his newborn-sleep-through-anything phase. But we still got some sleepy shots...



... as well as some awake shots =) (I love the expression...)

look at the baby fuzz and rolls...

... and the little feet

I love mom's expression in the background...



and he was a trooper... even letting us take some photos outside!


ok... S & J, hope you enjoy this small taste of what your collection will be like. I really enjoyed the session! Thanks for having me come!

And in keeping with the theme "All Things New", I was a little late in my goal of starting this blog with the 2008 new year... but just in time for celebrating Chinese New Year's. So Happy Chinese New Year!

Looking forward to many more new things to come...
